Chapter 257 One is willing to fight, the other is willing to endure
Milan, Italy, Cathedral of San Illuminati.【fei su zw26nbsp;】
Cardinal Antonio stood in his office, looking up at the oil painting "The Virgin, Child and Saint Anne" on the wall with a solemn expression.
The oil painting was peaceful and warm, but Antonio, who was admiring the oil painting, never felt relaxed. Antonio slowly lowered his head, clasped his hands together, and began to pray with great piety.
A knock on the door interrupted Antonio's prayer. Antonio slowly turned around and staggered to the desk.
Patrick, wearing a gray bishop's uniform, quickly walked into the office with a folder in his hand.
Antonio looked at his most trusted assistant and said anxiously, "Patrick, is there any news?"
Patrick nodded, then opened the folder. "Former French President Louis, and 61 members of Louis' party, took the Mayflower cruise ship and set sail from the port of Toulon in southern France an hour ago.
."
"Today, several more members of the Danish royal family issued statements publicly supporting Viscount Jacobson as the new crown prince of Denmark." Patrick continued.
With a snap, Antonio's palm hit the desk hard.
"What kind of Viscount? He's just a scum who does all kinds of evil." Antonio's face became darker and darker, and he said angrily. "Jacobson was deprived of his title by Queen Margaret, and then deprived of his noble status. He simply didn't
He is not qualified to become the new crown prince."
"Princess Catherine is the only daughter of Queen Margaret and her wife, and she was appointed Crown Prince by the Danish royal family a long time ago." Patrick looked at Antonio and said solemnly. "These people are really afraid that the world will not be in chaos, and take advantage of Margaret.
When the Queen was seriously injured, she jumped out to fan the flames. Now the situation in Denmark is becoming more and more chaotic, and there are more and more people demonstrating."
Antonio said with a straight face and a low voice, "Is there any other news?"
"The Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Germany..." Patrick flipped through the folder and told the situation in each European country one by one. "There have been demonstrations in these countries, and members of Congress have constantly raised motions of no confidence in the government."
"Okay, I know everything." Antonio felt anxious and angry when he heard Patrick talking about one country after another. Antonio stretched out his hand and waved it weakly, signaling Patrick to stop reporting.
Looking at Antonio's dejected look, Patrick sighed and gently closed the folder.
There was a deathly silence in the office.
After a long time, Antonio slowly raised his head and said, "Patrick, is there any news about the Holy Cross Society?"
"No." Patrick looked extremely frustrated, lowered his head, and said helplessly. "Since the Holy Grail was stolen, the Holy Cross immediately disappeared and never made any move again. I have sent many people to various European countries.
, but still haven’t found the headquarters of the Holy Cross Society.”
Antonio's face was as gray as ashes, and he murmured to himself. "The Festival of Holy Spirit is coming soon. Every five years, believers from all over the world will come to the Cathedral of St. Light in Milan for pilgrimage. They will pay homage to the Holy Grail, the relic of Christ Jesus, and listen to the Lord's words."
Teaching. If we cannot find the Holy Grail before Whitsunday, Europe will fall into the hands of that ambitious Peter." 'Note'
"Mr. Bishop, please don't be discouraged. We still have time." Patrick paused and then said. "It is now early December, and there are still more than two months before Holy Spirit's Day on February 16. During this period
Inside, we will definitely find the home of the Holy Cross."
Yes, there are still two months left, and we still have hope. Another glimmer of hope emerged in Antonio's gray heart. Immediately, Antonio raised his head with a determined expression, and his whole person seemed to have regained his fighting spirit.
generally.
"Patrick, how's it going in China?" Antonio thought of that distant ancient eastern country again, with a hint of joy in his eyes. "That Chinese man named Ye Feng, is there any news about him?"
"Ye Feng has been assassinated one after another recently. Since the Chinese government tried its best to cover it up, it was not reported in the news media. However, because several of the assassinations occurred in public places, we still got some information from the people." Patrick
He opened the folder and said.
"According to the descriptions of witnesses at the scene, these killers are all Europeans. According to an eyewitness who had lunch at the Champs Elysees Western Restaurant in Beijing, Ye Feng captured a killer dressed as a waiter in the restaurant.
After being captured by Ye Feng, the killer wanted to commit suicide by biting poison, but Ye Feng saw through it. Moreover, the witness also provided a very valuable information. Before committing suicide by biting poison, the killer once shouted "godwillsit"
(God’s will)’.”
"Godwillsit (God's will). This is the slogan of the Holy Cross Society." Antonio recited this slogan silently several times, with a faint smile on his lips, and then said. "Patrick, this Holy Cross member
Where is the living mouth?"
"Not long after the incident, he was taken away by the China National Security Bureau." Patrick flipped through the information in the folder and continued. "I have contacted the Italian Ambassador to China and asked him to go to the China National Security Bureau to inquire about the situation. However, China
The National Security Bureau remained silent on this matter. It took a lot of effort for Mr. Ambassador to get some information."
Hearing that the Italian ambassador to China had found out the news about the Holy Cross member, Antonio suddenly became excited and said eagerly, "Tell me what the news is."
"The killer was just a low-level employee of the Holy Cross Society. The person responsible for contacting him was the Eastern Affairs Director of the Holy Cross Society stationed in East Asia. However, the contact between them was by phone. The killer did not know who the Eastern Affairs Director was.
Who?" Patrick shook his head and said rather disappointedly. "Although they have captured a living member of the Holy Cross Society, the clues have been interrupted. At present, there is no clue about the upper-level figures of the Holy Cross Society and its headquarters.
The location remains a mystery.”
Hearing Patrick's words, Antonio was very disappointed, but he admired Ye Feng even more in his heart. "Patrick, I think I should go to China to meet this former king of killers."
Patrick thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty Bishop, Ye Feng is the only clue we have to get news about the Holy Cross Society. If you go to China to see him, the Holy Cross Society will become more vigilant and may immediately stop targeting Ye Feng.
If we pursue him, our clues will be completely interrupted."
Patrick continued. "My Lord Bishop, I know you really want to see Ye Feng. I also received news that Ye Feng's Huanyu Group also participated in the Chinese-English Cultural Year event jointly held by China and England. January 6
, one hundred Chinese cultural relics, including Buddha bone relics, will be sent to England for exhibition and exchange. If you want to meet Ye Feng, this is a very good opportunity. After all, this is our Europe, we can
Just come up with a reason for you to visit England, and then meet Ye Feng in private."
Antonio thought about it and felt that what Patrick said made sense. If he left Italy at this time and rashly went to China to meet Ye Feng, not only would the Holy Cross Society be more wary of him, but Peter, the ambitious man, might also take the opportunity to send someone to sneak into Italy.
Create trouble.
Antonio nodded and said, "Patrick, please help me make arrangements. I am going to visit England in January."
"Yes, Lord Bishop." Patrick turned and left the office.
Antonio looked up at the oil painting "The Virgin, Child and Saint Anne" on the wall, clasped his hands together, and prayed devoutly.
"Epthethingsicannotchange;couragetochangethethingsican;andwisdomtoknowthedifference(May God grant me a calm heart to accept the things I cannot change; May God grant me the courage to change the things I can change; May God grant me wisdom to distinguish
Both.)"
"Amen." Antonio stretched out his right hand, crossed himself on his chest, and murmured to himself.
"My Lord, thank you for giving me a calm heart and courage. I will do my best to find the lost Holy Grail before Whitsunday. My Lord, please believe that your most loyal servant will go through fire and water.
, even if I sacrifice my own life, I won’t hesitate.”

Huaxia Beijing, fifth floor of shopping mall, cosmetics area.
Maria remained silent and left the shopping mall silently. This made Ye Feng feel very strange. However, after killing three Holy Cross killers, the cosmetics area was in chaos, and screams came one after another.
Faced with such a chaotic situation, Ye Feng didn't care to think about Maria. He hurriedly found a mall employee and asked her to take care of the panicked customers and maintain normal order in the mall. Then he took out his mobile phone and called
Zhao Junjie made a phone call.
After making the call, Ye Feng walked to the rest area and sat on the sofa, slowly sorting out the ins and outs of the assassination in his mind.
Ye Feng's coming to this shopping mall to buy clothes can be said to be an accident. Today at noon, Ye Feng, who was having lunch at Liehuo Restaurant, received a call from Liu Yanmei and drove to Huawen Group to pick up Liu Yanmei.
, and then came to the shopping mall. There were only three people who knew that Ye Feng was in this shopping mall, Liu Yanmei, Michelle, and Maria.
Ye Feng had no doubts about Liu Yanmei at all. Regarding Michelle, Ye Feng trusted her very much and did not think that Michelle had betrayed his whereabouts.
Michelle came from the Gold Organization. In order to keep their secrets, the king and queen were surrounded by pirates and assassins from the Broken Thorn Alliance. The king died in the battle, and the members of the Gold Organization were also killed. From this point of view alone,
There is nothing suspicious about Michelle. If Michelle had any ill intentions towards Ye Feng, she would have leaked the secret of Ye Feng's identity long ago, and the gold organization would not have been wiped out.
Regarding Maria, Ye Feng had a vague feeling that this French beauty was a bit unsophisticated.
Ye Feng didn't know Maria's identity. He only knew that she was French and knew nothing else. As for why Maria appeared in China, Ye Feng didn't even know. Moreover, Mary
Ya took the initiative to approach Ye Feng. If he hadn't taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with Ye Feng in the shopping mall near Tianjing Military Region, the two might not have known each other. In addition, what puzzled Ye Feng even more was that Ma and Ma
Leah's three encounters all resulted in assassination attempts against her.
However, when the three Holy Cross killers came to assassinate Ye Feng, they also regarded Maria as Ye Feng's woman, especially the bald killer who said he would kill Maria as well. Thinking of this, Ye
Feng felt that Maria should be excluded.
Could this all be a coincidence? Ye Feng was full of doubts in his heart, but facing the successive assassinations of the Holy Cross Society, Ye Feng always felt as if there was someone right next to him watching him. Otherwise, it would be impossible for those Holy Cross killers to
Like a stilted ghost, wherever you go, they follow you.
Ye Feng thought about it over and over, but still couldn't figure out who this person was who was hiding in the dark and watching him. Suddenly, Ye Feng thought of the new Eastern Affairs Director of the Holy Cross Society who had never seen him before.
She is also a mysterious woman.
Woman, woman. In Ye Feng's mind, it was like a movie reel being replayed, and he quickly and carefully recalled the things about the mysterious Eastern affairs manager.
Based on the confessions of the Holy Cross killers and the description of Su Meilin, who had met the mysterious Eastern Affairs Director, Ye Feng quickly formed a rough impression in his mind. A European woman, speaking English, was about twenty-seven years old.
Eight years old, tall, with long fiery red hair, brown eyes, a beauty mark at the corner of her mouth, wearing a Chanel suit and Chanel perfume.
Chanel, Chanel. Ye Feng silently recited the name of this fashion brand, feeling vaguely that there was something fishy. Looking at the Chanel cosmetics display cabinet in front of him, Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat, and a name quickly popped up in his mind. Maria
, could it be her.
Maria once told Ye Feng that she is a loyal user of the Chanel brand. And every time I see Maria, she is always seen wearing a Chanel suit, and she also exudes a faint fragrance of Chanel Coco perfume.
A European woman, about 27 or 28 years old, tall, wearing a Chanel suit, and using Chanel perfume. These clues are consistent with Maria's characteristics. As for the English language, although Maria has always spoken French, Ye Feng once worked in a Volvo
I heard Maria speaking English in the 4S shop.
However, Su Meilin, who had met the mysterious Eastern Affairs Manager, said that the European woman had long fiery red hair, brown eyes, and a beauty mark at the corner of her mouth. However, these clues were completely different from the blonde Maria.
consistent.
Ye Feng shook his head. Judging from the current clues, Maria was highly suspicious. Facing this French beauty with whom he had an ambiguous relationship, the romantic nature of Ye Feng, a romantic killer, emerged again.
Ye Feng had some doubts about his own judgment. He sighed secretly and murmured to himself. It would be better to wait until he sees Maria again and ask her about her identity in person before making a judgment.
…
Volvo cars were speeding on the highway outside Tianjing.
After listening to Ye Feng tell what happened on the fifth floor of the shopping mall, Liu Yanmei blinked and said with a smile. "I said why I can't find you. It turns out you are in trouble. I really can't understand, those
How dare you, a little thief, come to assassinate you, the king of assassins? Isn’t this just asking for trouble?”
Looking at the fearless and fearless daughter of a former gangster, Ye Feng had a bitter smile on his lips and muttered in his heart. Miss Liu, no matter what, you are my woman. Your husband meets
When it comes to assassination, you don't know how to comfort him. Alas, it seems that you have to spank someone again tonight.
Seeing Ye Feng's silence, Liu Yanmei pursed her pink lips and said coquettishly. "I originally wanted you to accompany me to the mall, but I didn't expect you to go and kill someone instead. It's better for Sister Wan Bai to accompany me while I'm shopping."
All afternoon."
Suddenly hearing Luo Wanbai's name, Ye Feng couldn't help but ask, "Yanmei, is Wanbai also in the mall?"
"Yes, Sister Wan Bai is so kind. She even helped me choose clothes. That brown casual suit was bought for you by Sister Wan Bai."
Mentioning the brown casual clothes, Liu Yanmei seemed to think of something. She stared at Ye Feng for a while, and then said in confusion. "Nanny Ye, why did sister Wan Bai buy you clothes? Please tell me quickly.
Me, what is your relationship with Sister Wanbai?"
Ye Feng laughed and said, "Miss Liu, why don't you ask Wan Bai about this."
"I asked, and sister Wan Bai said that winter is coming and it's time to wear winter clothes, so I bought you that dress," Liu Yanmei said.
"Isn't that the reason?"
"That's a reason." Liu Yanmei shook her head and frowned. "But why doesn't sister Wan Bai buy me clothes? I don't have winter clothes either."
"The relationship between you two must be extraordinary." Seeing Ye Feng smiling and saying nothing, Liu Yanmei blinked and said, "Forget it if you don't tell me. I'll ask Sister Xiaoman."
After talking to Zhou Xiaoman on the phone, Liu Yanmei straightened her face and stared at Ye Feng's eyes with her big charming eyes. "You bastard, why don't you tell me what happened between you and Sister Wan Bai."
Seeing that Liu Yanmei had lost her eldest temper again, Ye Feng hurriedly said, "Didn't Xiaoman tell you already?"
"Sister Wan Bai is very kind to me, and I like her very much. For the sake of sister Wan Bai, I won't pursue this matter anymore." Liu Yanmei snorted coldly, pretending to teach her subordinates a lesson.
The attitude of the employee. "Nanny Ye, you are not allowed to hide your affairs from me in the future. As a punishment for you, you are not allowed to have dinner tonight."
Seeing Liu Yanmei's arrogant look, Ye Feng laughed, thinking about how to deal with this young lady who loves to play around. Suddenly, a text message ringtone came from his pocket.
Ye Feng took out his mobile phone and saw that it was a text message from Zhou Xiaoman. Ye Feng hurriedly opened the text message. As soon as he took a look, Ye Feng burst into laughter.
"Brother, there is only one way to deal with Miss Liu, spanking. Hehe, you two are a perfect match. One is willing to be spanked, and the other is willing to suffer."
