Chapter 163 – Arrival Of The Pope

On the Vatican’s side, the Pope personally went into action. He brought three Red Cardinals and eighteen Holy Knights. Only people who had attained the strength of a Fifth Order were eligible to enter the ranks of the Holy Knights, and these eighteen people only listened to the orders of the Pope. Even though they were on the same level as the Red Cardinals, in a different sense, their status was more distinguished than the Red Cardinals. The Holy Knights weren’t something that ordinary people got to see or meet on a daily basis.

Today was different from the past since the Dark Council had now made their move. Since the Vatican and Lei Yu had forged an alliance, they had to spare no effort in supporting him. Lei Yu had saved the Pope’s life after all. So as the supreme ruler of an organization, he didn’t want to owe someone such a large favor. There’s a saying that at times, the favor eclipses the heavens and it is very difficult to pay off.

The Burlinder family was extremely busy. Everyone used their fastest speed to clean and furnish the rooms. There were two master bedrooms, one for Mr. Hawes and his wife and the other one for his mother. Now, the original furniture of those two rooms have disappeared and have been changed for their new owners, the Pope and Lei Yu. There’s no doubt about the Pope’s distinguished status since the family originally took orders from the Vatican. Since Lei Yu was his mother’s benefactor, in addition to having a deep relationship with the Pope, Lei Yu naturally received the most favorable treatment. As for the other people, such as the Red Cardinals and Holy Knights that the Pope brought along, they had to share the guest rooms with 2 – 3 people to a room.

Mr. Hawes and his family were standing outside the large manor waiting. This place was suddenly bustling with activity, so it was natural for outsiders to ask what was happening. Once they found out that the Pope was coming, these believers devotedly stood on the lawn outside the manor and around the estate to await his arrival.

But at this time, everyone looking at the roads and the air didn’t see any oncoming cars or aircrafts.

“Lafayette.” Mr. Hawes faintly called his daughter.

“What is it father?”

“What do you think of Lei Yu?” Mr. Hawes voice was very soft, soft to the point that only Lafayette could hear it.

Being asked about Lei Yu, Lafayette shyly blushed suddenly. “Why are you bringing his name up?”

Mr. Hawes smiled, “I can see that ever since Lei Yu left our house, you’ve been a bit gloomy and you are completely different to before.”

“You’re so hateful, I’m not going to talk to you.” Lafayette pouted and she couldn’t hide her shyness.

“If you like him, why not pursue him? You need to know that it’s difficult to find such a young man with that much strength and status in any country. Do you really want to miss out on this opportunity?”

“But… but he already has Ai Er. How could I…?” Realizing her slip of the tongue, she abruptly stopped talking further.

Mr. Hawes wasn’t too concerned, how could he not know what his own daughter was thinking? Still with a smile, “In this world, apart from family, your personal love will be the next most precious thing. If for certain reasons, you give up on your own personal happiness, you might regret it for the rest of your life. In other words, there’s no shortage of women behind the figure of a strong man. Not to mention how beautiful my daughter is, there’s no need to fear some competition!”

“This…”

“It’s a deal then. I will create a chance for you this evening so that you and Lei Yu will be alone together. You must grasp this opportunity!”

Lafayette nodded shyly, her face already buried in her collar making her look quite cute.

But who knew that Mr. Hawes’s move right now would make him beyond regretful in the future…

A lot of people were crowded around the property of the huge estate. Everyone was extremely excited, hoping to glance at the Pope’s figure. We don’t even need to mention the aspects of order here because the people had nothing but respect for the Pope. Everyone watched their manners and they stood in place with their heads lowered.
