The elevator door opened, and with the sound of footsteps, Bennett's weak voice came from the stairs: "If I heard correctly, Mr. Yevgeny, you just seemed to be talking about using force against Mr. Gu?
But I remember that Mr. Gu is from your Orthodox Church, aren’t you an ally? Oh my God, could it be that I came by chance and happened to catch you guys in the middle of an internal strife?”
I breathed a sigh of relief.
We got Bennett here so quickly. As expected, the blond man is quite reliable and can be dealt with.
What he said made Yevgeny look unhappy, and he looked at the stairs with a sullen look.
Just then an Orthodox priest trotted over from there: "Mr. Bishop, I'm sorry, these people insist on coming up, and we can't stop them."
"Well, I don't blame him. I had something urgent to do and wanted to see Mr. Gu, so I barged in. If I offend you, please forgive me."
Perhaps because of the restraint of the blond man, he now looked a little more like a human being. He looked at Yevgeny with a playful look: "Mr. Bishop, you haven't answered my question yet. Are you fighting among yourself?"
Without waiting for Yevgeny to speak, I started to smooth things over: "What kind of internal strife? Bennett, your Russian level is too poor. Mr. Yevgeny just said he wanted to have lunch with me. How come it turned into the use of force when he came to you?"
Already? Stop talking nonsense."
"Oh, so that's it."
He nodded pretendingly: "I must have heard wrong, but since you are going to have lunch, it just so happens that I have something to discuss with Mr. Gu, and we can get together."
As he spoke, he tried to pull me away, but Yevgeny stretched out his hand to stop him: "Wait a moment."
It was obvious that the blond man had greeted Bennett. He knew what was going on here, so he was not in a hurry. He calmly walked to that station and looked at Yevgeny.
Glancing at the people behind Bennett, especially after seeing the two saints and an old man whose aura was hard to offend, he twitched the corners of his mouth twice: "Mr. Gu has to deal with some things.
, I’m leaving soon, so Bennett, you can talk to me if you have anything.”
"Talk to you?"
Bennett's words were a bit strange: "I, the chief priest, are not equal to you, the cardinal. It is more appropriate to connect with Mr. Gu. Hey, where is Saint Sophia? Why don't we call her too? Everyone is here."
Young people can chat well and have a common language when they are together."
He pretended to be crazy, but Yevgeny was determined not to let me come into contact with Bennett.
So he stopped directly in front of us: "Mr. Gu, didn't you hear what I just said? Or are you determined to disobey the Patriarch's will?"
Patriarch? The will of the Patriarch is nothing!
I was really unhappy, and I found Yevgeny's tone a bit annoying.
But after all, it was a show, and there was no need to be familiar with him. At this time, Bennett had already begun to cooperate. He put on a puzzled expression and asked me: "Mr. Gu, what are you..."
"Hey, I'm sorry Bennett, I may not be able to eat lunch with you today."
I made a gesture of helplessness: "When things have progressed to this point, the Orthodox Church no longer needs me, and it just so happens that Patriarch Mikhail..."
"Gu Yan, what are you talking about?"
I guess he didn't want me to tell him about Mikhail's coming to Rome, so Yevgeny wanted to interrupt me.
Then how could I possibly indulge him and continue to mind my own business and say to Bennett: "Mr. Mikhail, the Orthodox Patriarch of Saint Sophia's grandfather, has arrived in Rome and is now in a certain room upstairs.
From today on, he will deal with you personally on all matters related to negotiations. I don’t need to worry about it anymore. If you have anything to do in the future, just go to him directly. I’m leaving. Bennett, let’s meet again by chance. Hey...
"
Another long sigh came out, and I put on a very unwilling posture.
Bennett is also very good at acting. He had an extremely exaggerated expression of surprise on his face, widened his eyes and asked: "What, Mikhail came to Rome? Why didn't I know... Oh, I understand."
Bennett squinted his eyes: "He saw that you were doing very well here and wanted you to do something, but he didn't want to give you any benefits, so he came to drive you away, right? If that's the case, that would be great!
Mr. Gu, you know that I admire you very much and really want to make you a friend. Since the Orthodox Holy See does not talk about credit and burns bridges, then you can definitely join our Roman Holy See. I will recommend it to Grandpa and give you a reputation based on your strength.
…No, there is absolutely no problem with the archbishop’s identity.”
I pretended to be interested and raised my eyebrows: "Seriously?"
Bennett nodded seriously: "Of course, as long as you are willing, I will do what I say."
We both had fun acting here.
But Yevgeny gritted his teeth a little. He asked me with a cold face: "Mr. Gu, are you going to betray the Holy See?"
Without me opening my mouth, Bennett started to criticize him: "Betrayal? Mr. Gu is no longer one of your people, so where does the word betrayal come from?"
Since you want to sever your relationship with Mr. Gu, then of course you have no right to stop me from wooing Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu, what do you think?"
"Me? I..."
I was deliberately vague. In fact, I was waiting for Yevgeny's reaction to make him anxious.
But at this time, Zhuo Yi's voice came from not far away: "I think this is right. As the saying goes, a good bird will choose the wood to roost. Since the Orthodox Holy See wants to tear down the river and demolish the bridge, and the Holy See can give a suitable price,
Then of course we have to follow our interests and mess with whoever gives us more money."
She, She Luo, several demon cultivators under her, and two women walked over from a room not far away. She looked at Bennett and asked: "Boy, you said you want Gu Yan to be the archbishop, then give it to me."
Isn’t it too much to be a bishop?”
Bennett smiled and shook his head: "Of course it's not too much. I have heard about Miss... Mr. Zhuo's reputation in the Far East. I have admired you for a long time. As long as you are willing to cooperate with us, you can enjoy the same benefits as Mr. Gu."
treatment."
"Um……"
Zhuo Yi nodded with satisfaction: "In that case, I will lead more than a hundred of my subordinates to join the Holy See."
As soon as she said this, Yevgeny became completely anxious.
Everyone in the entire Orthodox Church knows about Zhuo Yi's bad reputation. His men cannot defeat the saint, but they are absolutely worthy of it when they encounter ordinary priests. If this force joins the Holy See, the consequences will not be something they can bear.
But the old man was not weak in strength, and his language skills and reactions were indeed not very good. He was just anxious and held it in for a long time before he said: "Gu Yan, I'm warning you, if..."
"Mr. Yevgeny, please come to me."
This sentence was said by Mikhail. When I heard this voice, my eyes lit up instantly.
