21. A kind gentleman, a devout believer of the Lord, a generous good man
Although Abel was unable to obtain a formal position within the Knights because of his disagreement with the deputy leader and could not mobilize manpower, he still gained the support of many people as an apprentice of the Knight Commander and the son of a wealthy businessman.
Abel's confidant said beside him:
"No information about Wright's identity was found, but after he came to Forth, he spent a lot of money on meaningless things many times, and deposited large sums in multiple banks."
He paused.
"We don't have exact figures, but a conservative estimate is between £5 billion and £10 billion."
It seems like there may be some force behind this guy, or a spokesperson for a secret organization that wants to surface.
It seemed that Abel had offended him severely. It was obvious that if he waited until he came to see his teacher, he would never have a chance to make amends.
"What do you think, Maggie."
His most trusted knight suggested:
"Perhaps we can instigate other Lord Knight's apprentices to conflict with him, and then join forces with them to deal with this Wright. When we take him down, even if we fail, the ones who will be punished will be all the apprentices, Lord Abel's
The risk is much smaller.”
Abel smiled, his supporter's vision was still too small:
"Go ahead and say something. This Mr. Wright has openly shown disrespect for the White Knight, but don't mention the financial resources he possesses. Do it naturally and make them feel that they heard about it themselves."
"But some people will turn a blind eye. If only half of the people deal with him, Lord Abel will still be very conspicuous."
Abel smiled and said:
"Who said I was going to deal with him? You still have too narrow a view. What's the point of a momentary dispute? I want to take the initiative to apologize to him, and I also want to apologize for my ignorant junior brother."
Abel stretched out his right hand as if grasping something:
"I'm going to take him to see my teacher. By then, they will become guys who take the initiative to offend the rich man, and I will be a good brother who tries to make up for their mistakes."
Abel showed his teeth and smiled:
"Everyone is happy."
"As expected of Sir Aibel, you will definitely inherit Sir George's skills." Maggie lowered her head, secretly admiring her own vision.
Outside the Church of Primeval Fire.
The Bishop of Forth City, wearing a red and white robe, was sending a beauty with long golden curly hair away.
"Thank you Ms. Mary Anne for supporting us."
Mary Anne covered her face and chuckled:
"No, no, Sir Bishop, you have given me a compliment. This is what we believers should do."
The bishop's eyes slightly moved around Mary Anne and looked to her right rear.
The lady was a little surprised and turned slightly sideways to look behind her with her peripheral vision.
A young brown-haired man in formal clothes was walking towards the two of them.
The bishop walked past Mary Anne and said gently to the visitor:
"The church is closed today and cannot receive guests for the time being."
Hewen nodded, looking apologetic:
"Really? I don't know, because I was a little anxious, so I came directly."
Bishop Alec showed a kind smile:
"Oh, I am Alec, the bishop here. If you have anything urgent, you can tell me directly."
Hewen nodded:
"Because I received a lot of help from the Primordial Fire when I was running a business in my hometown, so I have always wanted to repay the church, and at the same time, I hope that Goddess Gafunan can continue to protect my business."
Alec has seen many businessmen who use donations in exchange for the church's protection and acquiescence. If it were normal, he would be very leisurely to chat with him, but now he just wants to deal with this guy quickly.
Although this was the case, he could not dampen the enthusiasm of believers to donate. Alec looked grateful and asked:
"How much do you want to donate?"
Hevin glanced at Mary Anne beside him.
The bishop said:
"Ms. Mary Anne, like you, is also a devout believer."
Hewen immediately showed an excited expression:
"In fact, as soon as I came to this city, I discovered something very outrageous."
"What's the matter?" the bishop asked in confusion.
"Our church is not the tallest building in the city. You know, this kind of thing has never happened in other cities, and the church is also a bit dilapidated."
Alec's smile was a little stiff. Wasn't this just saying that what they did was not good enough? But how could this arrogant upstart know how much effort he had put into integrating into the city?
"What do you mean?" The bishop's tone was no longer as polite as it was at first.
"I think the church needs to be renovated. I plan to invest 500 million pounds in advance to renovate and expand the entire church. Rubies and gold must also be included. I see that many places are only plated with gold on the surface..."
Alec's smile completely stiffened, but this time it was because of excitement.
"How much did you say?"
"500 million gold pounds."
Alok suddenly took two steps forward and held Hewen's hand:
"I haven't asked this kind gentleman, devout believer in the Lord, and generous good man, what is your name?"
"Wright."
Alec held Wright's hand and didn't let go:
"Mr. Wright, I feel that this kind of matter is not appropriate to discuss here. Please come to my personal confession room with me to discuss it now."
At the same time, he also looked at Mary Anne:
"Ma'am, I'm very sorry. Let's discuss that matter next time."
Although Mary Anne wanted to continue listening, she also knew that this was impossible, so she could only nod her head, give Wright a reserved smile, and then turned and left.
Alec took Hevin into the church and found a place for him to sit down.
"You just said that 500 million is the initial investment?" The bishop asked with a smile.
"Yes, I plan to expand this place to a scale second only to the Holy Church. After all, there are no saints and saints here, or do we?"
Alec almost said yes.
"Haha, of course not. How can we have a saint here? But having said that, do you have any worries? As the most humble servant of the Lord, I will definitely guarantee the interests of our believers."
Alec was waiting for Hevin to speak out his request. After all, he didn't believe that a big businessman who could give out 500 million really donated this money because of his faith.
But Alec will never let this money escape from his hands, because there is no foundation problem here. Unlike other bishops, he can earn nearly 100 million pounds every year, and the entire church is already in financial trouble.
In a crisis, he cannot do many things freely.
This has even affected the Pope's view of him.
