Chapter 151 – The Good And Bad News

Lei Yu had indeed rescued the old woman, yet this show was staged after she returned to the U.S. Although she did not have a lot of power in the Vatican, she was still valued by them due to her special identity. She was a follower of the Prophet, one that served him and happened to be the only one in existence.

When they knew Lei Yu had abilities that exceeded ordinary people; and the fact he caused a media storm in the Kou country and even obliterated the Yamaguchi-gumi; Lei Yu quickly gained the attention of the Vatican, which caused them to set this trap to win his trust. They originally thought it would be easy for them to get Lei Yu to spill the secrets of the labyrinth, but they didn’t expect this unforeseen circumstance.

There was one thing they could not deny – this old woman was truly grateful towards Lei Yu or else she wouldn’t have given him such a precious gift. Perhaps she was able to look at a person and know their character, and that’s why she knew Lei Yu would honor his commitment and promises.

There would only be two outcomes from Lei Yu entering the labyrinth: either he would never come out, or if he did come out, then he would tell them everything that went on inside. But no matter which result happened, it wouldn’t have too much of an impact for the Vatican. The contents of the scrolls were already memorized by the old woman, so she knew how to open the entrance to the labyrinth. This was merely a play staged within their family.

“What? You don’t understand what I’m saying?” Lei Yu lightly smiled. “As a Bishop of the Vatican and a follower of the Prophet, you two should be extremely clear on what I’m talking about right?”

“Lei Yu, listen to our explanation!” Hawes suddenly stood up while Lei Yu just waved his hand. “There’s no need to explain. Some things get more complicated the more you try to explain it. There are two reasons why you’ve come tonight right? First, you want to learn about what’s inside the labyrinth; the second, you’re representing the Vatican to talk about cooperating with me.”

Lei Yu’s guess hit the mark. Not that he was overestimating himself, but those with the strength of a Sixth Order Warrior were beyond rare in this world. Any large and strong organization would not have more than two people with such strength. Of course, Tenglong country’s Celestial Court was the an exception.

“Child, we truly considered you as a friend.” The old woman’s face was trembling because she knew that she had lost her benefactor’s friendship and trust.

“So you actually watched me go off while my safety was in danger? Old madam, you are willing to enter the labyrinth and sacrifice yourself for the Vatican, but I’m not a member of the Vatican. Since you have considered me as a friend, have you ever thought about the consequences if I was unable to get out? What about my family and my friends?” Lei Yu was slightly emotional because this family had disappointed him.

Silence. One could hear the loud music through their door, but inside this private room, no one said a word creating a weird atmosphere.

What Lei Yu couldn’t understand to this day was how the old woman entered the labyrinth yet would be standing outside when he returned at a predetermined time? (Shortly after looking for the old woman inside.) This mystery may be related to how he had changed history by creating a divergence in the future. This however, was a problem that would be too hard to explain, so it wasn’t worth looking into.

After a while, Lei Yu heavily sighed. “I found your so called holy object when I went back in time a thousand years ago to ancient Greece. I’ve experienced a huge war and then returned to the modern times and that’s it.”

The old woman became excited, “Then did you meet the great Prophet Kalchas? Also did you see the holy objects?”

“I did meet Kalchas, but as for the holy objects, I’m not sure what exactly you’re referring to.” Said Lei Yu.

The old woman was so excited that she started rubbing her hands anxiously. “The holy objects… the holy objects are comprised of four items. One of them is a golden crown, which is currently being worn on the head of our great Pope. The other three items were an axe, battle armor, and battle boots.”
