27 Chapter 27: Interrogating A Bishop (1/2)

Somewhere in Rome.

Space strangely warped before two people appeared, they were Alex and Aura. Alex looked around for a while before setting off in a direction. He was heading towards the Vatican city situated inside of Rome.

Crossing into the Vatican city Alex didn't stop and headed for the closest church he could find, it was an exorbitantly large church, built in an Italian Renaissance style.

Staring at the church Alex could only think of how beautiful it was, a true masterpiece of architecture. Standing in the massive court outside the church Alex spotted numerous priests going back and forth among the numerous tourists.

Walking forward towards the church Alex saw more and more priests and deacons moving about there were even a few praying, after some time Alex finally found one he might be able to use dressed a little differently.

”Robe, check. Hat, check. That's a bishop alright.”, Alex mused to himself before heading towards the bishop that was coincidently walking into a restricted area in the church. Alex closely followed the bishop, ignoring the guards which ”conveniently” ignored him.

Alex followed the bishop for a few more seconds until they were out of eyesight. With a snap of his fingers Alex secured a barrier around the area, it wasn't large or powerful but would make people unconsciously avoid the area and keep noise inside out. With a few quick steps, Alex grabbed the bishop by his robe before pushing him against the nearby wall.

The bishop was completely shocked not expecting such brought handling all of a sudden. Alex not giving the poor bishop a chance spoke, ”The Holy Sword Project, where is it being held.”, Alex asked the bishop.

The bishop just stared at Alex for a while before speaking, ”Please son you are in the house of...”, Alex covered the bishop's mouth before he could finish his sentence.

”I will ask again for the last time where is the Holy sword project being held”, Alex said releasing the bishop's mouth, but grabbing him by the jaw. The bishop looked frightened but still answered. ”I don't know what you're talking about, I have never heard of such a thing.”

”Ok, then where is Ach Bishop Valper Galilei?”, Alex asked.

”Who?, I'm sorry young friend but I don't know who you are talking about”, the bishop said.

Alex's eyes flashed as he saw something in the bishops, he was lying. ”I will give you one more chance to answer willingly if you still refuse I will have to take more drastic actions”, Alex said threateningly.

The bishop looked shocked, ”You would torture me?!” he said in disbelieve.

Alex smiled at the bishop sending a shiver down his smile, ”Oh, perish the thought, my dear holy man, I would never do something so pointless, your faith would never allow you to break, but...” Alex smiled even wider as it turned cruel, ”no matter how much you struggle nothing can stop me from taking what I want from you very soul and believe me the pain of doing so is thousands of times more severe than what I could ever do to your flesh.” Alex said his words were like sharp needles pricking the heart of the bishop.

”I-I, sight,” the bishop sighed before hardening his eyes, ”I will never tell you”, his eyes filled with righteousness. Seeing the bishops glare Alex could only sigh in regret, of all the bishops he could have grabbed it had to be a truly righteous one. With a slight motion of his hand, the bishop lost consciousness.
