39. What is your phone number?
Hewen was lying on the sofa, thinking about what Tire's secret was.
The newly hired maid Tanya opened the door. The girl was now wearing a clean dress, her face was cleanly washed, and she looked natural. It seemed that she was very adaptable to the job.
"Mr. Wright, there is a chubby gentleman and a pretty lady coming to visit."
"Bring them here and prepare afternoon tea."
It didn't take long for Hevin to see the clumsy figure of Bishop Alec and the red-haired beauty following him.
Next to the Primordial Fire Bishop is a woman dressed as a nun, but she has an extremely hot figure and a confident and uninhibited look. The side of the nun's robe is slit from the thigh, revealing two slender and tense legs.
"Mr. Wright, let me introduce to you, this is Ms. Nona, the nun of our church."
"Hello, Ms. Nona." Hewen greeted.
"Hello, Mr. Wright." Nona responded very politely.
Tanya served cookies dipped in honey, warm coffee, and mousse cake.
Alec showed envy:
"That's great. I also want to hire two maids, but clergy are not allowed to hire servants. But if you ask me, it would be better if the maids should wear maid uniforms..." Before he finished speaking, Bishop Alec's expression changed.
Turned blue, then let out a strange cry, "Ouch"
Nona smiled kindly and said for Alec:
"We are here today to ask for your help."
Hewen pretended not to notice that Nona stomped the high-heeled shoes on the bishop's instep and asked back:
"How can I help you?"
The bishop bent down like a rubber ball, rubbed his shoes, straightened up again and said:
"Do you know about Abel's disappearance? The guy who attacked your little girl is really a scumbag."
Hewen did not deny it:
"I heard about it."
Alec said angrily:
"His disappearance has brought us a lot of trouble. When something goes wrong, there will naturally be suspects. The Knights and Abel's father both seriously suspect that this matter is related to us. I don't know why the person who did it is so familiar with us.
, can pretend to be so realistic, but this is definitely not done by us simple and kind-hearted good believers."
Hewen nodded:
"I believe you, Mr. Bishop."
The bishop also showed a casual look and said slowly:
"But besides us, there is another person who is under suspicion."
Hewen asked:
"Who is it?"
Bishop Alec said with concern:
"It's you, Mr. Wright. Abel disappeared inexplicably just after he attacked your niece. Naturally, many people will doubt you."
Hevin looked at Bishop Alec with interest.
Alec picked up the coffee and took a sip before continuing to speak unhurriedly:
"It is absolutely impossible for a good person like you to be related to this matter. These rumors are purely slander against you, but they cannot stop people's constant speculation. After all, people like to see saints fall.
"So, Mr. Wright, you should have some influence in the Knights now. I hope you can tell them that we are willing to cooperate with their investigation, clean up the sewage on us, and catch the real culprit as soon as possible.
I’ll also give you a clean slate.”
Hewen didn't mind helping to pass on the message, and the other party had already made it clear that he was also a suspect. Although Alec would actually feel that he didn't do it himself, he certainly couldn't be too far removed from the relationship.
But looking at the bishop's current appearance, it seems that he doesn't take this matter to heart at all. He just informed him and hinted that the church would not trouble him because of this matter.
"Of course you can, it's just a little effort." Hewen nodded, since the matter would definitely not be traced to him anyway.
Alec's expression changed again, and he smiled enthusiastically and said:
"After talking about the main business, I still have some small things that I want to discuss with the Wright brothers.
"First of all, I would like to thank you for your strong support to us on behalf of all the clergy and believers in Foss City. Alas, to be honest with you, my current situation is really miserable.
"You may not know that I used to be a priest accompanying the Eastern Expedition. I achieved some minor achievements during the Eastern Expedition and became a bishop. I couldn't even wear a red coat.
But I was assigned to this hard job because I offended the big shots in the Holy City. It is too difficult to spread the glory of our Lord in this land far away from devout believers.
Here, the only person I can really trust is Sister Nona, who came with me. Facing the Knights and the Parliament, I am completely helpless.
The Pope is also very dissatisfied with my lack of achievements. As long as I make a few small mistakes, I will be transferred back to be a minor priest. So the money you donated really solved my urgent need and established the
For such a big church, the church won’t be able to find fault with me in a short time.”
After the miserable sale, Alec finally revealed his purpose:
"If it's convenient, can Wright donate another amount of money so that I can start my work?"
"Of course, I won't take this money in vain, I will pay corresponding rewards."
Hewen looked thoughtful.
Most of what he just said was farts.
Although it is very difficult to establish a church in a foreign country, there is no support from the church, and it is easy to be targeted, but once it succeeds, the benefits will be huge. By then, even the eight cardinals may not have the same status as Alec.
There must be a special reason why such a good job fell into Alec's hands. Maybe the Pope needs him to check the cardinal's power, or maybe it's an even crazier reason.
But although Alec is full of lies, the last two sentences are true. He can indeed offer enough benefits in exchange for his financial support. Anyway, Wright's identity will be abandoned soon. No matter how much money he spends now,
It won't attract anyone's attention.
"I wonder, Mr. Bishop, how much is appropriate?"
The corner of Alec's mouth moved the fat on his face, revealing a harmless smile:
"I want one billion pounds, and if it's not done openly, the Knights, the Parliament, and the church can't find it. Can I get one billion pounds in cash?"
"Of course. Then Sir Alec, what can you come up with?"
"Um, how about Nona giving it to you as a maid?"
"If you continue to joke around, Mr. Alec may not feel too good when he gets home."
The bishop laughed twice, hiding the surprise in his eyes:
"Haha, do you need fame? I can help you build momentum and make you a saint. No matter where you go, the local Primordial Fire Church will treat you as a distinguished guest."
"It's not necessary at the moment, Mr. Bishop. I am willing to donate two billion to ensure it is clean. I just hope that I can get a little help from you in the future, and I guarantee that I will never embarrass you."
Alec readily agreed:
"Okay, then you can just come to me directly, or you can go to Nona."
