Chapter 1050: Chapter 1049: The Pope Requests an Audience

Seeing the cigarette butt in Lin Fan’s hand, Bosh couldn’t help but shrink back a bit; he was really terrified of that feeling of dying and coming back to life!

Bosh hurriedly said, "I’m not exactly sure what she looks like either, because every time she shows up, she likes to wear a veil."

"A veil?"

Lin Fan carefully searched his memory. The only one who wore a veil was his little junior sister, Lin Qianxiao.

But Lin Qianxiao shouldn’t speak English, so she could be ruled out!

Then who on earth is this woman?

Lin Fan’s mind was full of question marks!

Right after, Lin Fan stared sternly at Bosh and said in a flat voice, "Are you sure what you said is true? If I find out you lied to me, the consequences... I think you know them very well."

Bosh couldn’t help shivering and said, "I...I’m telling the truth!"

Lin Fan pondered for a moment, but still couldn’t figure out who this person could be.

All of a sudden, Lin Fan recalled that on his way here, he seemed to have seen Su Yanyu.

But Su Yanyu wasn’t even at the Huajin level, she couldn’t beat Bosh. Just that alone was enough to rule her out!

Still, this trip wasn’t completely fruitless; at least he’d gotten some information.

However, if Lin Fan knew that all of this was a plan Su Yanyu had told Bosh in advance to use against him, he’d probably really go smash his head into a block of tofu and be done with it!

"Let’s hope you didn’t lie."

With that, Lin Fan stood up and walked toward the door!

"How was it?" Mansite asked.

"Not entirely fruitless, but this person is very mysterious." That was Lin Fan’s conclusion!

Then Lin Fan turned and walked out of the room, with Mansite following closely behind!

Bosh took several deep breaths in a row. Seeing Lin Fan and Mansite leave, he hurriedly closed the door, locked it, and after making sure it was safe, gulped down several glasses of water in succession. With each mouthful, Bosh felt as if his throat were being sliced open by a knife!

"Damn it!"

Bosh couldn’t help cursing, then immediately took out his phone and dialed a number.

Beep, beep, beep!

After a series of ring tones, the call connected, but the other party didn’t speak first, maintaining a mysterious silence.

"Miss Su!"

Bosh greeted respectfully. Without a doubt, he was calling Su Yanyu.

"Talk."

Su Yanyu only uttered one cold word!

"Mr. Tyrant just came to see me," Bosh reported truthfully.

"What did you tell him?" Su Yanyu asked, a hint of tension in her tone!

"Please rest assured, Miss Su, I told him exactly what you instructed me to, and Tyrant didn’t suspect you at all!" Bosh said.

"Good." Su Yanyu nodded and let out a long breath.

Bosh hesitated for a moment and then asked curiously, "Miss Su, I don’t understand. Tyrant is your husband—why don’t you just tell him everything?"

"Now...is not the time yet." Su Yanyu chose to hide it!

In fact, everything she was doing was to help Lin Fan.

Based on her investigations, she knew Lin Fan had far too many enemies in the Dark Realm. If she made this public, then the Rain Alliance would instantly become a thorn in everyone’s side!

But now, the Rain Alliance was slowly rising, quietly eliminating hidden threats for Lin Fan, and without attracting the attention of those terrifying forces. This was exactly the outcome Su Yanyu wanted!

First, with the Rain Alliance on the rise, it gave people the illusion that it was going to surpass the Suicide Squad. Naturally, many would want to sit back and watch the two sides tear each other apart, tigers fighting on Tiger Mountain. That would give Su Yanyu enough strength and time to reinforce the Rain Alliance!

Second, one in the light, one in the dark—wouldn’t that be the most perfect cooperation?

Su Yanyu thought for a moment and asked, "Tyrant didn’t give you too hard a time, did he? Your voice...sounds a bit off."

"This...was Tyrant’s doing!" Bosh didn’t dare hide it and said directly, "To force me to talk, he made me eat a cigarette butt!"

"A cigarette butt?"

Hearing those words, Su Yanyu couldn’t help swallowing as well. That method was indeed a bit cruel!

"I’m sorry, Mr. Bosh, I’ll apologize to you on Tyrant’s behalf," Su Yanyu said.

"Miss Su, as your trusted subordinate, if I can’t even endure something like this, then I’m not worthy of being the person in charge of the Rain Alliance!" Bosh replied immediately.

"Your suffering won’t be in vain. In a bit, I’ll transfer one million US Dollar into your account," Su Yanyu said.

"Many thanks, Miss Su!" Bosh said happily.

After that, the two of them hung up the phone!

...

Lin Fan knew nothing about any of this. After he and Mansite got off the road, he took a deep breath and thought for a long time but still couldn’t figure out who was pulling the strings behind the Rain Alliance!

At that moment, Mansite answered a phone call, rattled off something in a foreign language, then walked up to Lin Fan!

Seeing Mansite’s expression, Lin Fan immediately knew something was up and said bluntly, "Spit it out."

"The Pope wants to see you," Mansite said.

"The...Pope?"

Hearing that, even Lin Fan couldn’t help being startled!

In this world, the two most powerful forces were undoubtedly the Church and the blood clan!

Both were existences that had been passed down for hundreds, even thousands of years, with terrifying foundations. Even Lin Fan’s Suicide Squad was far inferior in comparison!

Don’t be fooled by the destruction of Clint’s lair—the blood clan itself hadn’t been wiped out. That was just one branch of the blood clan. Don’t forget, there were three blood kings, and each king controlled a massive faction of their race!

Clint was only one of them!

As for the Church, its believers were spread all over the world; you literally had to use "hundreds of millions" as the unit of measure. If that kind of power was properly mobilized, the consequences were imaginable!

Strictly speaking, Lin Fan had only heard of the Pope by name and had never seen him in person!

"What does he want with me?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

"Our large-scale offensive against the blood clan this time alarmed the Pope. The old man is very interested in you and wants to meet you," Mansite said.

"Interested in me? Damn it, am I some kind of toy? ’Interested’..."

Lin Fan cursed a couple of times in annoyance before saying, "Where are we meeting?"

Mansite said, "The Vatican."

"Perfect. I’ve always been curious about that ’magical’ place. Since it’s your big boss who wants to see me, I’ll give you some face and go meet him," Lin Fan said casually, shrugging his shoulders!

"The Church isn’t like other places. Once we’re there, you must not cause trouble," Mansite urged.

"Relax, I know what I’m doing. I won’t burn your whole Church down in one go," Lin Fan joked half-seriously, then slipped into the car!

Mansite gave a wry smile. Although Lin Fan said he wouldn’t burn the Church down, if he really got pushed too far, that was absolutely the kind of thing Lin Fan might do!

"I hope both the Church and he can come out of this in one piece."

Mansite prayed inwardly, then got into the car as well, and they sped off, heading for the plane!

As fate would have it, just after Su Yanyu left, Lin Fan and Mansite arrived at the airport.

Once again, Lin Fan brushed past Su Yanyu without meeting her!
