Chapter 151 – The Good And Bad News (2/2)
Lei Yu was somewhat surprised; weren’t these items supposed to belong to Minotaur Linos and Telephassa? When did these things become the holy objects of the Vatican? And the golden crown was actually in the possession of the Pope? Who passed it on to him?
Would there be some relation to Telephassa? Since the Vatican’s prophet was Kalchas… Wait, according to the old woman, Kalchas had died not too long ago, probably around a hundred years. So how did the old woman become a follower and serve him?
Perhaps in his heart, he was yearning for this goddess that he couldn’t let go of. Lei Yu knew that having these thoughts were wrong, (the chance of Telephassa still being alive) they were people of two different worlds and different eras. Additionally, Lei Yu already had Ai Er so he shouldn’t be having these absurd thoughts. But the human mind couldn’t always constrain what they thought about, so it’s inevitable for him to have these thoughts of the heart.
Although this wasn’t considered any earth shattering love story, a flame was still lit between them. And according to Telephassa’s view, Lei Yu was the only man she had ever fallen in love with. Probably to this day, her thoughts of him had never changed. Perhaps Lei Yu may see her again in the future, but it’s more likely that they would never see each other again.
“Would I ever have the pleasure of in meeting the honorable Pope in person?” Lei Yu then continued saying: “I have something to say to him directly and it’s more convenient in person. It would also make it easier on the messenger to go back and forth between us constantly.”
“The honorable Pope also had this intention!” Mr. Hawes smiled while continuing to say: “Now that I know this idea is acceptable to you, I will relay this message to the Pope and you two will meet very soon.”
Lei Yu nodded. “It would be best if it’s one month from now since during this time, I have a lot of things I need to resolve and don’t have time to deal with issues such as cooperation. Regarding the holy objects, I will speak in length about them once I meet up with the Pope.”
The two of them didn’t say anything more and could only agree with Lei Yu’s conditions. Within Lei Yu’s heart, he didn’t really want to make enemies out of Mr. Hawes and his family. As for the cooperation with the Vatican, Lei Yu had new plans for that but it was still too early and he wasn’t in a rush to set it in motion.
Since things had been settled, the two of them would only feel more awkward if they stayed. Mr. Hawes and the old woman got up to leave and Lei Yu didn’t try to persuade them to stay any longer.
It was rare for a whole month to be so peaceful. Each day, Lei Yu would either spend time with Ai Er or cultivate inside the hotel. It was now only a few more days until the agreed time between the Dark Council and the Vatican.
It had also been over half a month since he last visited his nightclub. Bringing Ai Er along, she had a sudden desire to go sing some karaoke. Lei Yu only agreed because there wasn’t anything else to do. They also called up some of Ai Er’s friends and when they met up; their group of about a dozen people was pretty much all girls. Lei Yu never expected that all this time Ai Er had spent in the U.S.; she barely had any male friends.
Once a private room was arranged for them, Lei Yu finally sighed in relief. The craziness when a group of girls were together had overwhelmed him somewhat. Lei Yu was never in fear when dealing with enemies, but when it came to girls, this super expert became helpless. The girls kept making him do shots with them, but luckily his phone rang so he had an excuse to rush out of the room to answer it.
“You brat, you’ve finally decided to give me a call?” Lei Yu jokingly cursed.
“Don’t blame me master, I’ve been helping sister Ying Ying all this time.” His clown-like disciple Liu Hao’s voice was heard over the phone.
“So what’s going on? Everything working out well?” Lei Yu asked.
“I have some good news and some bad news, which one do you want hear first?” Liu Hao asked, pretending to be mysterious.
