Chapter 355: The three things that come and go when a new official takes office.
The Knights of Light left quietly, just like the cold wind passing through the streets at this time, drifting without a trace.
On this cold afternoon, too many unexpected things had happened.
Looking at the empty street, Ye Feng shook his head and walked slowly towards the street.
"Dear, President Peter has made such an arrangement. Although it is unexpected, it is also reasonable. As far as I know, you are also a person whom the cardinal values. With you as the president, you may be able to establish relations with the Holy See of Milan as soon as possible.
Reach a peace agreement." Maria followed Ye Feng step by step.
"Maybe." Ye Feng shrugged his shoulders pretending to be cool, but his heart was still heavy.
Looking at Ye Feng's gloomy face, Maria reached out and took Ye Feng's arm. "My dear, do you want to come to our headquarters and take a look."
"I really wanted to go before, but I don't want to go now." Ye Feng smiled bitterly and continued. "Now that I have become the president of the Holy Cross Society, our office headquarters, naturally I can go whenever I want."
Maria couldn't help but smile and said with a smile. "Dear President, may I ask what we should do next."
"I've been out for a long time, it's time to go home." Ye Feng said speciously.
"Go home." Maria was startled when she heard this, and then said with a smile. "My dear, you are our president now. There are 250,000 members across six continents in the world, all waiting for your orders.
.Could it be that you want us all to follow you back to Tianjing?"
Ye Feng is a lone killer who has been used to being carefree all his life. Even if he lives in seclusion in Beijing, China, it was arranged by Paul in advance. He is called the deputy manager of the corporate publicity department of Huanyu Group, but in fact it is just a sinecure in the huge corporate publicity department.
, the only one Ye Feng can use is the naughty female assistant who seems to have an encyclopedia in her head.
But now, the position of president of the Holy Cross Society is a real job. There are 250,000 members spread across six continents in the world, and they have to coordinate and arrange their work and life. Just thinking about it will make Ye Feng
I feel confused.
"Let them all go home and rest." Ye Feng said casually without thinking, but then felt something was wrong and hurriedly explained. "Now that we have the Holy Grail, this is a huge bargaining chip. Since we have the bargaining chip, then
Let’s stop the activities for the time being and live a peaceful life. I’ll find a chance to talk to the cardinal later, and maybe I can get him to put aside his concerns and accept us again.”
"You are so brave to let 250,000 members take a holiday together." Maria winked and joked. "Your Excellency, President, I think your order will definitely be supported by all members."
A faint smile appeared on Ye Feng's face, and then he thought of the Knights of Light who had just left. "Maria, what is the Knights of Light? Also, their name is the Knights, but why do they look so different?
He doesn’t look like a knight either.”
"The Knights of Light are a secret organization within the Holy Cross Society. They are only loyal to the president. They usually hide in the city and only appear when major events happen in the society. Their oath is to defend the faith and assist them.
Suffering.) It can be seen from this oath that they are a group of iron-blooded men with firm beliefs who can sacrifice their lives for their ideals." When mentioning the Knights of Light, Maria's tone was full of reverence.
"In the beginning, the members of the Knights of Light, like the knights in other European countries, were members with noble status. Later, the Holy Cross Society weakened day by day. In order to facilitate concealment, the Knights of Light also made adjustments.
Instead of deliberately pursuing the aristocratic background of the members, we select some members with firm beliefs, loyalty and reliability from all members to serve. All members and leaders of the Knights of Light are selected and appointed directly by the president. "
"By the way, will the Knights of Light continue to use bombs?" Ye Feng suddenly thought of a difficult question.
"Yes, they will use this method to eliminate traitors in the organization." Maria nodded.
"Will they threaten the Holy See of Milan with bombs?" Ye Feng asked.
"Not for the time being. Their current mission is to punish traitors." Maria looked up at Ye Feng and said with a smile. "My dear, don't forget your identity. You are the sixteenth president of our Holy Cross Society.
, and is also the sole leader of the Knights of Light. Any of their actions require your authorization."
Seeing that the worry on Ye Feng's face disappeared, Maria continued. "Actually, our Holy Cross Society is not as evil as the rumors say. Except for rare cases, we generally rarely use violent methods. Moreover,
Our philosophy does not allow excessive violence."
"What kind of concept is it? Let me learn it." Ye Feng said very curiously.
"It is love, the unity of loving God and loving others." Mary's voice was sonorous and her charming face was filled with a proud smile. "You must love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, soul, soul, and mind. This is the first commandment.
, is also the greatest. The second is like it, you must love your neighbor as yourself. These two commandments form the basis of all the teachings of the Law and the Prophets.”
"This concept is very good, why doesn't the Holy See of Milan accept you?" Ye Feng was puzzled.
"In fact, it's easy to explain. For example, you are now the president of the Holy Cross Society. You have supreme power in the society. Every word you say is like an edict to us.
We will all obey resolutely. If there is another person who wants to share that supreme right with you, every idea and plan of yours needs to be approved by the other person before it can be implemented. I would like to ask, are you willing to do this?
Do it?"
"It's a power struggle again. Why do you encounter such struggles wherever you go?" Ye Feng sighed, and his mood suddenly became much duller. He felt more and more that the matter he took over was not as simple as he imagined.
.
The more he thinks about it, the more confused his mind becomes. The only thing Ye Feng wants to do now is to go home, leave Europe as soon as possible, and return to Tianjing.
He can go home to hide and relax, but what about the 250,000 members? Are they just allowed to rest at home all the time? Ye Feng felt depressed in his heart. Looking at Maria beside him like a little bird, Ye Feng
Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, and a perfect plan suddenly came to mind.
"As the new president of the Holy Cross Society, I will also exercise my rights as president and make some personnel arrangements." Ye Feng looked at Maria's delicate face with a smile, and then said. "Maria,
I appoint you as the president’s assistant, and you can handle everything in the meeting with full authority in the absence of the president.”
"Is this considered a promotion?" Maria stuck out her sweet tongue, looking playful and cute. "How do you want me to thank you, my dear President?"
"Give up the pursuit of me." Ye Feng said jokingly. "Your previous pursuit of me has caused me great harm."
"Yes, Your Excellency, President." Maria raised her pretty face and kissed Ye Feng loudly on the cheek.
"Assassination, poisoning, remote control bombs..." Ye Feng recounted the hunting methods that Maria had used before, and then said with a smile. "By the way, besides these methods, how else did you plan to deal with me before?
.”
Maria couldn't help but recall the past, remembering that she planned to use a beauty trap to trap Ye Feng, her pretty face turned crimson, she nodded and whispered, "I won't tell you, that's my secret."
"Long-range sniping, wheel battles and gang fights, hired killers to lurk and assassinate..."
Listening to the hunting methods one after another from Ye Feng's mouth, Maria smiled and said triumphantly. "None of them are right. Those methods are ineffective against you, the king of killers. Hehe, if not
President Peter has changed his mind, maybe I have already implemented it on you."
Ye Feng looked stunned, while Maria was smiling. She walked slowly to the end of the street, where Maria stopped.
"Your Excellency, President, I heard that there is an old saying in China, which is called the three things a new official takes office. Hehe, you have just issued two orders. I wonder if you have a third order."
Looking at several taxis parked on the roadside, Ye Feng said with a smile. "The third order is to inform all members that I am going home. I will take a plane back to Tianjing."
While he was talking, a black Mercedes-Benz sedan stopped on the side of the road, and a middle-aged man wearing a brown priest's robe stepped out of the sedan.
"My dear, it seems that your schedule needs to be temporarily changed." Maria looked at the haggard middle-aged pastor, smiled, blinked, and whispered in Ye Feng's ear. "Patrick is here.
, I guess the cardinal wants to see you."
"Hehe, but they are one step too late."
…
In an ancient castle in southern Europe.
In a magnificent palace, a white-haired old man sat alone in front of the dressing mirror, quietly looking at himself in the mirror.
The white-haired old man is about seventy years old, and he is dressed in noble and elegant clothes. The finely crafted white narrow body tunica properly covers his slightly bloated waist, and he wears a purple "parudamentom" cloak outside.
Tied with a brocade inlaid with precious stones, the whole outfit is jewel-like and extremely luxurious.
The white-haired old man gently stroked the golden tassels on the sleeves of his dress, his cloudy eyes full of joy and excitement. Slowly, the white-haired old man lowered his hands and stared at himself in the mirror, seeing the sparse white
The shiny scalp exposed under the hair, a trace of loneliness flashed in the eyes of the white-haired old man, and he sighed softly.
"It's a pity that there is no more crown."
Dong-dong-dong, there was a knock on the door.
"Your Majesty." A short and fat old man came in and bowed to the white-haired old man in rich clothes. "I just received news that Peter was killed in a bombing outside Paris."
"This old guy is finally dead." A sly smile flashed in the white-haired old man's eyes. "Joseph, where is Gabriel."
"Your Majesty, Gabriel has escaped from Paris." The pudgy old man Joseph paused and then said. "Peter dispatched the Knights of Light today and blew up Koscielny to death in the office on the spot. Fortunately, Gabriel
He responded in time and was able to escape the disaster."
"Knights of Light." The white-haired old man's face darkened and he thought for a long time before he said. "It seems that Peter has already seen through Gabriel's conspiracy. However, God is not as good as God. Although Peter is cunning, he did not escape after all.
One death."
"Your Majesty," Joseph said with a smile. "I heard that Gabriel is going to take action against the Cardinal."
"Interesting." The white-haired old man laughed sinisterly and said gloatingly. "Gabriel, a thousand-year-old man, finally couldn't hold himself back anymore. It's okay, let him make trouble. It would be better to turn Europe into chaos.
"
"Your Majesty, what should we do about Gabriel?"
"Don't worry about him, he's just an incompetent clown." The white-haired old man said with disdain. "If he can be smarter, he may be able to split the Holy Cross Society into two. If he is stupid and incompetent, then
The only choice is to accompany Peter in hell."
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true." Joseph nodded frequently and agreed with a smile. "No matter how much Gabriel makes a fuss, it will be beneficial to us without any harm. As long as the strength of the Holy Cross is weakened, Europe will return to its original state.
into the hands of the Loris family."
There was no trace of Joseph's flattery, but the white-haired old man felt extremely comfortable. "Haha, Europe belongs to our Loris family, and the rebuilding of the Europa Empire is just around the corner."
"Your Majesty, you will definitely lead the Europa Empire to glory again." Joseph looked at his watch and reminded cautiously. "Your Majesty, the reception time is coming, and Arthur, the head of the Augustine family, has already arrived in the reception room.
"
The white-haired old man slowly stood up and carefully arranged his clothes in front of the full-length mirror.
"The Augustine family claims to be in charge of the largest financial empire in the world, and its leader must also be a business wizard. Let's go, I want to see what business this businessman wants to discuss with me."
