Chapter 155 – It’s Not That I’m Afraid (2/2)
The Pope narrowed his eyes slightly. “Mr. Lei Yu, you should know the matters regarding the Dark Council. They are a group made up of Vampires and Werewolves with an ultimate expert from each race. While the Vatican only has me that has reached top step in strength. According to the ranks of your country, you are also an expert that has reached the top level. If you and I were able to team up together, we could definitely destroy them completely. This also saves a lot of innocent lives since their race requires using the innocents in order for them to continue living. Do you have the heart to let these atrocious things continue to occur?”
Wasn’t this guy using others to make himself look weak? Lei Yu lightly smiled. “Your holiness, the Vatican has been in conflict with the Dark Council for hundreds of years, yet you both still exist. The reason for this is most likely the strength of you two are balanced. The strength behind the Vatican can completely suppress the development of the Dark Council. And you seemed to have forgotten to mention Dr. Tony, who happens to have the strength of an Ultimate Rank Mutant. Isn’t he someone completely loyal and faithful to you? How else could Dr. Tony so easily give up on killing me?”
“This…” The Pope didn’t expect Lei Yu to mention Dr. Tony, but he was able to respond quickly: “Tony and Hasegawa had a deep relationship but we, the Vatican, don’t want to forge any enmity with you Mr. Lei Yu. That’s why we immediately consulted Dr. Tony and stopped him from committing a stupid mistake. In fact, all of this was incited by Hasegawa, so I hope you are clear on the rights and the wrongs.”
“Oh really?” Lei Yu sneered, anyone with half a brain knew exactly what was going on. Pushing all the blame on a dead person was a move he didn’t expect the Pope to come up with. If it wasn’t for setting the stage to lure Lei Yu into the labyrinth, no one would believe the Vatican would step forward and help him out.
But Lei Yu wasn’t stupid. There were some things they both knew in their hearts, but didn’t need to be said out loud because it would make the situation awkward and difficult. “There’s plenty of time to speak about this again in the future. Currently, the Dark Council gave me some ‘advice,’ which was not to join the ranks of the Vatican. Otherwise, I’d be inviting trouble to myself when they act against me.”
Lei Yu directly passed the buck onto the Dark Council, a move he copied from the Pope.
“What qualifications do these evil existences have to threaten Mr. Lei Yu? This is completely ridiculous, unless you are really afraid of their threat?” The Pope tried to goad Lei Yu but it didn’t seem to be working.
“It’s not that I’m afraid. Could I, a dignified Deputy Commander of Dragon Group and the second young master of the Lei family, be afraid of a mere Dark Council?”
Lei Yu’s statement not only warned the Pope, he was telling the Pope that he considered the Dark Council beneath his eyes. He wanted the Pope to clearly hear that he, Lei Yu, wasn’t someone easily bullied. If something actually happened to him, even though far apart, Tenglong country would spare no effort. Multiple super experts would be sent out to seek justice so by then, the Dark Council would probably cease to exist! But Lei Yu would not allow that to happen since he didn’t want to rely on anyone’s power as his stepping stone. He only wanted to rely on himself and especially not borrow the strength of the Lei family.
The Pope seemed to be in deep thought for a while before saying: “The words you’ve spoken make a lot of sense. Don’t worry about anything for now. The Vatican will always treat you as a good friend and we welcome you to visit anytime. May the almighty God bless you abundantly.”
“Thank you.”
One thing Lei Yu wasn’t expecting was that his words made the Pope form new plans in his heart. But these plans shouldn’t appear in the thoughts of so called people of justice, yet it had already started to sprout inside the Pope… frame them!
