Chapter 150 – Put On A Show

Hearing this, the Marquis on the floor and the rest of them turned their gazes towards Lucas. They didn’t doubt Lei Yu’s words since he previously defeated the Marquis without even moving his hands. Even combining the strength of the other Counts and the Lord, they suspected Lei Yu was fully capable of easily disposing of them all.

Lucas never thought Lei Yu would be such a tough nail. He swallowed hard before getting up in a hurry. “I apologize profusely Mr. Lei Yu. Mr. Hawes from the Burlinder family has the rank of a Bishop in the Vatican. His mother is someone that serves the Prophet of the Vatican. At first, our Dark Council used various methods to trap his mother in the Kou country, but our plans were foiled when you sent her back to the U.S. Originally our Dark Council saw you as the enemy, but since you’ve eradicated the Yamaguchi-gumi, you are now viewed as more of an ally.”

Lei Yu’s heart was beyond shocked. He had never expected that Mr. Hawes would be a person of the Vatican while the old woman served their Prophet. No wonder they knew so much about everything.

“Who is the Prophet of the Vatican?” Lei Yu asked.

“Kalchas.”

“What?!” Lei Yu was shocked. How could Kalchas still be alive? Was he some sort of old evil spirit? Then… then… what about Telephassa?

“But Kalchas has already died.”

Lei Yu finally sighed in relief, thinking he might be a bit too sensitive over this, but what’s so special about a person that serves a Prophet that’s already dead? Perhaps Lei Yu had to ask about this himself.

Lei Yu now understood why Dr. Tony would suddenly abandon his attempts at killing him. Mr. Hawes had intervened in this matter and his rank was that of a Bishop. A Parish Priest or a Pastor may be in charge of a large church, but a Bishop would be in charge of a certain district of Churches. Dr. Tony and the Vatican had a close working relationship and since they made a statement on it, it was natural that he wouldn’t dare to ignore it. One must know that no matter how big and strong Dr. Tony’s organization was, they were only seeking their own death if they went against the Vatican.

“I want to know what you’d like my assistance with.” Lei Yu asked.

“You only need to help us find Dr. Tony’s hideout and we will find a way to get rid of him.” Lucas replied.

“You guys can find the mutants that Dr. Tony has spread all over the city, but cannot find him? Isn’t he a mutant as well? Also you guys were able to pinpoint Hasegawa’s location while he was driving… yet you can’t find Dr. Tony. Don’t you feel this is a bit too ironic…?”

“I will consider the possibility of our cooperation. After I think things through, that will be the time for us to discuss the conditions. I will give you guys an answer in a month’s time, farewell for now.” Lei Yu turned and left. At least he had now gained knowledge of Mr. Hawes’s true identity.

Lei Yu didn’t want to immediately agree with cooperating with Lucas in haste. In his heart, he essentially didn’t want to associate with the people of the Dark Council. Once he made an agreement, he would probably be linked to them from then on and wouldn’t be able to extricate himself in the future. Lei Yu definitely wanted to gain some advantages out of this situation, but he didn’t really want to get too close to either opposing group.

Lei Yu didn’t know what matters the Dark Council was involved in, but one thing he was certain of was that this group of people, who lurked in the darkness, didn’t care for human beings. He considered these Dark Council members beneath even mutants so how could he cooperate with them?

As for the Vatican, Lei Yu wasn’t too interested in this huge organization that had followers throughout the entire world. He was already disgusted with them since they worked together with Dr. Tony. If the Vatican were to show up and discuss terms of cooperation, Lei Yu would also not agree with them. He had to maintain an attitude of not declaring himself attached to any powerful organization or offending anyone of them. Since he has just established himself in the U.S., it would do him no good to offend either one, so it was best for him to take the stance of wait and see.

Inside the hotel. Black Panther, Gray Bear, and Hu Jiong had been gathered by Lei Yu. Ai Er was also here but she sat to the side, not participating. Lei Yu looked at those gathered and said: “We have to speed up our plans because a show is about to start in the U.S., and those that remain will be considered the truly strong. We don’t have to participate, but we must survive it!”
