Chapter 602 We Will Take Control of York City!
Chapter 602 We...will master York City!
Karen stroked the thick file in his hand. Its power was equivalent to a forbidden spell. In fact, even a forbidden spell would hardly work.
York City already had a special status in the system of the Order. It was obviously unrealistic to want to affect most of the bishops in this region with a forbidden spell.
Even if the successor of the Fallen God, the assassin Valoti, successfully assassinated the chief bishop's family, this was already the limit of the Order's negligence and his own operation;
Why did he choose Karen, an influential young man, as the second person after the assassination was successful? Because he knew very well that security defense should have been activated around other bishops and senior officials at that time.
It's just... the six bishops who were brought to the auditorium by the chief bishop last time were exactly the people on this list, which made Karen feel a little too coincidental.
Although, this can be understood as the chief bishop's deliberate arrangement and selection.
But...
Karen asked: "Chief, Bishop, can I ask a question from my personal perspective?"
Wofulen raised his hand and said: "Of course, ask."
"Is it really the six bishops, no, are the five bishops problematic, or is it because the five of them went there that day that they became problematic?"
Hearing this question, Wofulen smiled:
"What you want to ask is, are they all black crows, but they like to wear red robes on weekdays, and when they need to, they close their eyes and go forward to choose, as long as they tear off the robes, they will all be black?
As for whether they are red or black, whether they need to tear off the disguise, it depends purely on the needs?"
"Chief, I don't mean that..."
"No, you should mean that, it is right to mean that. We need to be naive in our attitude towards life, but naivety is not desirable in dealing with specific affairs and work.
However, I can't answer you this question, because of my position and identity, you won't really believe my answer.
This How about you ask our Bishop Bern. After all, these evidences of crimes were collected by him with great effort. Do you know how difficult it is to collect enough solid evidence without alarming me? "
Bishop Bern replied: "This is why I am not very satisfied with you, but I will respect you and obey your arrangements. Without your acquiescence and support, I can't do this."
Wolfren immediately waved his hand and said:
"Alas, don't say that. It's all you, the guy hiding in the shadows, did. It has nothing to do with me. Otherwise, I, the chief bishop, would help you collect evidence of the crimes of your bishops behind your back. It would be really bad if it was spread out. "
"In fact, your reputation is already like this." Bishop Bern smiled, "If you select the reputation list of the chief bishops of the York City Region, your reputation will definitely be the worst one. "
As the leader of a local interest group, he now takes the lead in cooperating with the power of the external system to attack and split his own side. In the secular world, it is equivalent to the king leading the rebels to rebel against himself, a real pot-smashing behavior.
Bishop Bern looked at Karen and said, "I have already recognized you, so you should also recognize me in return."
"You... still haven't given a definite answer."
"Is there a fish pond in this world that is truly clear and has no impurities at all?"
Karen replied, "It doesn't exist."
"Yes, whether the fish pond is really clean depends on whether the person who manages the fish pond cleans it regularly."
Karen nodded, indicating that he understood.
Bishop Bern spread his hands and looked at his palms:
"But you don't have to be too discouraged. I said that you are very similar to me. Do you remember?"
"I remember."
"There are two kinds of people in this world:
One kind only knows how to keep his head down and move forward. Even if he is in the mud, he still chooses to sink with the mud, without thinking about looking up to see if there are twinkling stars above. He thinks he is always moving forward, but in fact, he has been circling in the mud.
The other kind of person only has stars in his eyes, and is obsessed with distinguishing the characteristics of each star, debating the size and brightness of the stars and the meaning behind them. But he himself stands in the mud, not moving at all."
Bishop Bern pointed at Karen and then at himself:
"We all look up at the stars, but we don't sink. Fascinated by their characteristics and beauty, as well as the moving stories behind them, we use them to identify the direction of progress, and at the same time, our steps have never stopped.
You asked me if all the crows are black. I can tell you that they are not. Most of the bishops and deputy bishops in the region, including department heads who are not bishops, are actually clean.
If it were really so exaggerated that all of them were black, then my Order Cult would have collapsed long ago.
But are the five arrested bishops all of them? The file I investigated is the one I just gave you, is it all?
No, not all, of course it can't be.
But... the big heads are all in it. "
"Yes, I understand."
"Pah!"
Wolfren clapped his hands and said with emotion: "I said, are we having a book experience exchange meeting?"
Bishop Byrne smiled and said: "It is very lucky and even very happy to meet a young man who is worthy of communication. Naturally, there is an urge in my heart to share my experience and insights with him."
Karen immediately stood up and saluted Bishop Burn:
"Thank you for your teaching."
Bishop Byrne also stood up and returned the greeting.
Wolfulun picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and said: "This is why inheritance often exceeds blood relations. Even if it is your own blood descendant, there is a high probability that it will look similar to you, but if a young man can inherit his own The path I identify with is really like living one more time, or at least giving my life one more possibility.”
Bishop Byrne nodded and said, "Yes, your grandson and Karenbi are really lost."
Wofulun: "..."
Bishop Bourne looked at the chief minister whose face was red with anger and said puzzledly: "I originally thought that you should clearly understand this."
"There is a gap between whether I realize that and you speaking ill of my grandson in front of me, do you understand?"
"I don't understand, and I'm too lazy to understand." Bishop Bourne adjusted his robes, "Okay, we can go."
"It's still early." Wofulun raised his hand, "Leon is going to prepare dinner. Let's leave after eating."
"Well, after all, the next time I eat with you, it may be at your funeral." Bishop Bourne pointed to the front, "hold the plate and eat in front of your portrait."
"If possible, I really want my portrait to wink at you."
"This is easy to do. I will deliberately splash a little soup on the eyes of your portrait. You close your eyes and imagine the scene."
"No need to close your eyes and imagine, I'm already feeling uncomfortable."
"Haha. By the way, Karen is responsible for your funeral, right?"
"Yes."
Bishop Byrne looked at Karen and said: "It's a very easy job, and there is a high probability that not many people will come."
"Maybe they will all walk in front of me, haha."
"Dinner is ready." Leon knocked on the door and asked, "Grandpa, do you want to start dining now?"
"Yeah." Wofulun responded, "Now."
Leon pushed a small dining cart in, and Karen's eyes fell on the dining cart. There were three bowls of...well, three bowls of something that Karen didn't know what they were.
Bishop Bourne scooped out a meatball with a spoon, put it into his mouth, nodded and said: "It tastes good, very delicious."
Wolfulun sucked a piece of dough into his mouth and said with a smile: "It's not as delicious as I thought."
Karen looked down at the bowl of dough and meatball soup,
He asked tentatively:
"ravioli?"
"Yes, Director, but I don't know why, the wontons I made fell apart like this after being cooked."
Karen took a sip of the soup and said against his will: "It's done well."
While Wolfulun was stirring with a spoon to make everything in the bowl more evenly messy, he asked Karen: "There is something I have forgotten to ask. How did you guess it?"
"It's not hard to guess." Karen put down the spoon and answered seriously, "The main reason is that I have confidence in you and know that you won't just give up. I won't be so sure if you selectively struggle a few times. "
"Okay, so that's it. Actually, many things are like this bowl of chowder. According to your previous conversation with Leon, its correct expression should be that it is completely wrapped in dough, right?"
"Yes."
"The struggle within the church is actually the same thing. First, you must have a clear purpose, and then all your means and measures must be centered around protecting the integrity of this purpose.
That day, the man named Neo came on stage and overturned the table. It was indeed a good way to break the situation. Young people also liked and yearned for such a scene.
But it's like peeling off the skin and stuffing. After it's been cooked in the pot, it's almost impossible to wrap it back up.
If you can't break the bowl directly, but just break the skin, although it will be a ball of paste, it will still be in the bowl and cannot escape.
It's just like what you have experienced in the past half month, although you told me that you did nothing but read and rest.
But the reality is that you know very well that even if you want to do something, it will be difficult to achieve any results.
It's fun to flip the table, and you always feel like all the depression in your heart is pouring out, but as long as your opponent is not stupid, you still have to bend down and pick up all the scattered pens and papers. stand up.
The correct approach is to follow your boss's instructions and pretend not to know, or let him see that you know but have to cooperate, and follow the process he wants first.
Then, in order to eliminate the negative impact of this matter, you came to me and begged me to give you more lists and details for the sake of Leon and the sake of helping me kill the assassin. You take these to negotiate with the regional management office.
If you hold the evidence and argue with those guys, they will not dare to make noises. I can help you stabilize the conflict situation. In the end, Yedel, probably like Dolfo, was given up and stopped loss by default.
In this case, the negative impact will be minimized, and you can even continue to maintain your status as the whip of order in your region. "
"Chief Sir..."
"Listen to what I have to say. I know that you are unwilling to compromise in this way. You may think that what I said is too pedantic and inconsistent with your beliefs. What can you do to save yourself in order to plan for the future? , you may even hear calluses on your ears.
But sometimes, don’t let your beliefs become pressure that restrains you and limits your room for maneuver.
Bourne didn't know what the Naton family was like, but didn't he also choose to defend Vicolet on behalf of the regional management office?
In anything, the one who laughs last is the one who laughs best.
Besides, this does not conflict with your beliefs. You are not trying to compromise to gain any benefits. You are just taking a step back to pave the way for the future explosion of accumulated strength.
Like this...ravioli, right;
Since it will fall apart after being cooked in a pan, use olive oil to fry it. The method is different, but it is still essentially the same food. "
"But Sir, I think I should have my own beliefs and persistence."
“If you don’t choose to follow your beliefs, you will feel guilty and angry with yourself. This is correct, but that is only the first stage. You learn to respect your heart, follow your beliefs, and learn from it. Gained the courage to face difficulties and make painful choices.
But the view on one thing, even the simplest sentence, will have different interpretations as age and experience change.
After this stage, or in-depth analysis, you should have another understanding:
As long as your faith is strong enough, the way you fight can be flexible.
Shouting long live faith and charging to death is indeed a heroic death; but lowering your head, curling up and waiting for the fire of faith to bloom better is actually more worthy of respect.
As long as your original intention is not lost, that's fine. "
Karen saluted and said, "Thank you for your teaching."
Bishop Byrne complained: "You are teaching bad young people."
Wolfulun rolled his eyes at Bishop Bourne and said, "I just described you once."
Bishop Byrne: “…”
Wofulun picked up the bowl in front of him, brought it to his mouth, took a big sip, swallowed it, and said with a smile:
"But how can I put it, what you did is not ineffective. Only after disturbing the skin and filling can we swallow it directly."
After saying that, Wolfulun banged the spoon against the edge of the bowl.
"Ding……"
A clear voice came out.
Putting down the bowl, Wofulun picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, then crossed his hands on his abdomen and said to Bourne and Karen:
"We talked, had a meal, and drank tea.
How to say it, it's quite bland.
We've been chatting for so long, but we haven't actually come up with much useful information. It's just that you two want to talk to me a little more because I'm an old man who's about to die.
As for this meal, my grandson made it a bit bland. In fact, I can’t taste the taste now. The tea is not Eagle Tea. I finished the tea last week and didn’t ask Leon to replenish it.
Anyway, it's too bland, so I want to temper it with something strong.
Furthermore,
When people get old, what they fear most before leaving is the loneliness.
two,
I don't mind having fewer guests on the day of my funeral because I've treated what's going to happen next as my funeral.
Just one request,
Make the noise louder.
My ears are not working properly, my voice is too low, I’m afraid I can’t hear it! "
Bishop Byrne and Karen saluted Wofron together:
"Yes, Chief Sir!"
"Yes, Chief Sir!"
…
Walking out of the chief's home, Bourne walked in front and Karen followed.
On the road ahead, a VIP car appeared. It should be the same model as Neo's car. The difference is that one was imitated at one's own expense, while the other was reimbursed with public funds.
However, Karen does not think that Neo's choice is too low-level. His happiness is essentially based on his current conditions, which are relatively difficult to obtain under normal circumstances. If he waits until he is promoted to a certain status in the future, It's so easy to get, but the joy is gone.
"Take you somewhere."
"Okay, my lord."
Karen and Bishop Byrne got into the car together, and the VIP car began to drive discreetly.
About half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a factory building in the suburbs. Judging from the sign, it should be a cement factory.
There is a security booth at the door. After checking, you will be released. When the car drives in, you feel a cold atmosphere.
Bishop Byrne got out of the car and Karen followed.
"Tomorrow, Dunk will hold a public formal consultation meeting with District Chief Harry in the name of Acting Chief. The five bishops in your Whip of Order Detention Center will be asked to be released immediately. Yedel and all the small fish and shrimps will be treated as criminals. for sacrifice.
At the same time, there is another victim, and that is you and the director who lifted the table for you.
You will all be given up and you will all be characterized.
Then, on behalf of the regional management office, Dunk will recognize the whip of order's important role in purifying the regional environment during this operation, and your district chief will review the mistakes in the work.
The two sides will reach a profound consensus in a tacit understanding, and the expansion of power originally obtained by relying on the whip of order in the last Vicolay case will be recognized and retained again.
Everyone is happy. I think if I were the person above, I would be happy to see this result. "
"Yes, you are right."
"What we have to do is for them to reach a public agreement and issue a statement to the whole church. When they 'rescue' the five bishops, they will then hold the evidence to recapture the five bishops.
In this way, the acting chief bishop of the regional management office shielded five criminal bishops; the whip of order district director neglected his duty and let five criminal bishops go;
All these actions are confirmed.
After all, there are completely different concepts between someone saying there is cow dung under your butt and smearing cow dung on your face.
Our acting chief and your district chief have to get out this time, haha. "
Bishop Byrne put his hand on Karen's shoulder and said: "Look, what a disgusting thing we have to do tomorrow. Everyone on all sides is breathing a sigh of relief that the fire is extinguished, and The two of us came over with a big bucket of gasoline and poured it directly into Mars. Do you feel it?"
"Yes."
"Your expression is still too reserved. I thought you would open your arms, close your eyes, let out a low groan, and then tell me in an emotional voice that this picture is really beautiful."
"You can give me a demonstration first and teach me."
"Haha, I can't do it."
"Me too."
"But just because I know I can't do it, I hope to see it from you."
"My lord, so am I."
"Karen, you and I are really alike. Of course, I know you don't like to be like me."
"This does not hinder my admiration for you now that I have gotten to know you."
"Actually, some people do like to live in the shadows. I am such a person. However, no one likes to live in the shadows forever. It is like a fish that gets tired of staying in the water and wants to come out for some air. Do you experience this feeling?”
"You mean, experience?"
"Well, isn't it?" Bishop Byrne took a step forward and looked at Karen. "At some point, have you ever thought about stepping out of the shadows and standing in the sunshine?"
Karen didn't feel guilty and didn't avoid looking away. Instead, he smiled and said:
"Sometimes when I dream, I feel like this."
"Tsk." Bishop Bourne took two steps back and struck with both hands. "Tell me, how did you manage to be so magnanimous?"
"Maybe it's because of my devout faith that I'm fearless."
"You can ignore the first half of the sentence." Bishop Bourne nodded, "It turns out it's because you don't have to worry about being burned to death by the sun."
"Sir, it's now time, you..."
"I'm not testing you, nor do I want to investigate you. If we really want to conduct an investigation, the incident with Judge Pavarro last time is the best starting point. I'm just a little curious.
But I have a rule that I will not do research out of my own curiosity, because this can easily lead me into a deep ditch from which I can never climb out. "
Karen didn't know how to answer this.
"Just think of me as crazy and hysterical before the big event. As for whether it is true or not, you have the answer in your heart anyway.
Okay, let's go in. "
Under the leadership of Bishop Bourne, Karen followed him into the largest factory building in front of him. The factory was dark, as if there was some special existence that could swallow up all the light.
"Karen, do you have enough people?"
"Which one are you referring to? Simply talking about manpower is actually enough."
At the beginning of the investigation, in order to create the illusion of his strong support, Bernie mobilized the Whip of Order team not only from this region but also from other nearby city regions to help.
Many teams came, but they were only responsible for catching some small fish and shrimps, and did not do any big things. After half a month, everyone was very depressed, and gradually some teams reported that they wanted to go back and continue their tasks.
This is just like the king calling on the lord to lead his men to follow him to fight hundreds of years ago. If he keeps losing the battle or simply wastes time without seeing any real gains, then the lord will gradually disperse and lead his men back to their base. .
"What I'm asking is, is it enough? Tomorrow, when they are going to release the people, you have to bring people in to arrest the five bishops again."
Karen hesitated and replied, "Probably not enough."
Bernie and Harry, who have suffered losses twice in a row, will definitely not give themselves another chance to act recklessly. What’s more, they have the right to speak and have cut off their aura. This is reflected in the recent number of reporters. It can also be seen in the sharp decrease.
In addition, Minister Bernie also said to himself face to face that this is the church, not the secular world, and even in the secular world, if you simply want to rely on external means to carry out deep power interference, it is based on the other party trying to pretend to be a gentleman. on the basis of.
Karen could imagine that when he really wanted to take people to re-arrest the prisoners tomorrow, he could take many people with him. However, in the academic building, as long as Minister Bernie stood up and shouted, half of the people would give up immediately;
And by the time District Chief Harry showed up, there were probably only three teams left behind him.
His original team, Neo's hunting dog team, and Geng Di's team... Even Geng Di's team has to put a "question mark" on it.
But it happened that he didn't really lead people to rob prisoners and rebel. It was more like calling people into quarrels between gangs.
After all, neither side is willing to break out into actual internal strife, so how can it be fun without a small number of people?
"I'll transfer someone to you." Bishop Bourne said.
Karen asked: "Do I use your people in a proper manner?"
"Isn't it normal for systems to cooperate with each other and between departments once in a while? Besides, you are now qualified to send application letters, but for your current position, the application letter requires a few If you apply for a higher-level department or apply for some excessive cooperation requirements, people will most likely choose to ignore it.
I am different. I am the most helpful person, haha. "
After saying that,
Bishop Bourne clapped his hands:
"Pop!"
The factory building suddenly lit up.
What originally stood in the darkness were rows of garrison knights. They were lined up in a neat formation, motionless; and on both wings of the array, the falcons lowered their heads, and the falcon knights on their bodies were also holding the reins with both hands, without any movement.
Although this scale and scene are completely incomparable with the real Knights of Order, but how can I put it, the Garrison Knights are already the highest-level armed force that each region can mobilize.
This force is nominally controlled by the chief bishop of the region, but Karen has always known that the garrison knights in York City are in the hands of Bishop Bourne.
Bishop Bourne delivered a black token to Karen, who reached out and took it.
"I have already mobilized a part of the garrison to secretly enter York City from the garrison. If necessary tomorrow, use this token to summon them half an hour in advance. They will appear then and obey your orders."
Karen rubbed the token with her fingertips and sighed: "Is it such a big deal?"
"Do you still remember the way the chief used his spoon to hit the edge of the bowl after finishing his meal?"
"Remember."
"He wants to tell you that it doesn't matter if you break the wonton wrapper. If you want to make it, just break the bowl to it!
It's just that the chief is now beyond his capabilities. He couldn't break the bowl with a spoon at that time, so he probably didn't have the nerve to say that to you, so I said it for him.
Don't be afraid of making things bigger. Haven't you been doing this for the past half month? "
"If I ordered them to attack the Whip of Order headquarters building, would they do the same?"
"Will do."
"All right."
"Did you think I would warn you not to do this? No, I was even looking forward to it, haha."
"Anyway, bringing the garrison to the Whip of Order headquarters to pick up people is really... unprecedented, right?"
"I'm not afraid of handing you the token, why are you nervous?
After this incident, I, who was originally at the bottom of the hierarchy of bishops, was very confident that I would be able to take the position of chief;
You will also be promoted. When more people are arrested, things will get bigger. Anyway, there are so many criminal evidences of the bishops. In order to cope with the situation or give an explanation to the whole church, they will pinch their noses and let you get promoted again. .
But our... route of continuing to rise will be stuck, and we will be nailed to the next stage.
It can be said that if no major changes or events occur, the seat we will sit in next will be with us for the rest of our lives.
But, what is there to be afraid of? "
Bishop Byrne opened his palms to Karen and slowly made a fist:
"We...will take control of the York City region!"
…
"Do you still need to prepare breakfast today?" Vic asked.
Alfred shook his head and said: "No need, today's case briefing has been cancelled. I was just informed that a formal consultation meeting between the district chief and the acting bishop will be held at noon today, and reporters will go there. "
Vic reached out and scratched Ventura's head next to him.
Sighed,
road:
"I'm not a pessimist, but things have gotten to this point where I can't control the pessimism that comes out of me."
"I'm still optimistic."
"Oh, yes, Mr. Alfred, I believe that even if the guillotine is fixed above your head, you can still smile confidently towards the sun.
But I couldn't do it. You know I finally found a new ship from the negative influence of my teacher. In the end, this ship also sank. Oh my God! "
"So, do you regret it, Vic?"
"I have no regrets. I had doubts about myself. I suspected that I was an evil person, and it was me who made my teacher disappear."
"Believe me, Vic." Alfred put his hand in front of Vic, "You are a truly lucky person, enough to be envied by most people in the world."
"Is it worse? Of course, considering that I am a student of the former high priest, I believe that the divine religion will not let me live on the streets and starve to death. If I get seriously ill or be contaminated, even if I don't have a coupon when I am sent to the church hospital, , and you can also allow me to be treated if I owe money.”
"hehe."
Alfred didn't explain any more. In his opinion, those who bathe in the radiance of a great existence are undoubtedly lucky, and those who have already bathed but don't know it are even luckier.
Lucky Vic turned to look at Philomena sitting on the bench at the door and asked: "The director is not awake yet?"
Philomena replied: "I woke up and went to see the director of the second office."
"What time is it?" Vic looked at his watch, "Does our director want to attend this meeting?"
Alfred replied: "Of course I will participate."
"Oh, yes, I asked a nonsense question. If our director does not participate, who will take responsibility for us?"
Richard sighed and said, "My grandfather said that this matter will be very serious, and the higher-ups are ready to make a judgment."
"Hey, everyone, no matter what time, we must learn to face it optimistically." Alfred raised his hand and encouraged.
Vic asked back, "Who else can laugh now except you? If the director is removed from the Whip of Order system, our team may all be disbanded."
"Come on, laugh." Alfred pointed to the two people over there.
Muri smiled, and Ventura also smiled.
Philomena also smiled.
...
"So, can you let me out?" Neo said, holding the railing, "Don't you think it would be a great pity to lose me in such a wonderful scene?"
Karen smiled and said, "How did you react so quickly to flatter yourself?"
"I did this for your sake. Think about it, when you are full of energy, you look around, if there is no one who can meet your eyes, how lonely it would be."
"I can't let you out for the time being. In addition, you must not come out by yourself. I don't want to disrupt their rhythm."
"Then why did you come down to tell me What? Let me know that something wonderful is happening, but I can't participate and witness it? Karen, you are so cruel, you did it on purpose. "
"Yes, I did it on purpose."
"Hehe."
"Okay, you will bear with it for a while. If everything goes well, you can come out today."
"If things don't go well, when you plan to attack the headquarters building, you shout and I will open the formation from the inside for you."
"Are you cursing me?"
"No, anyway, if it doesn't work, we will go to the remnant of light organization and become a little elder, which is also pretty good. Or for safety reasons, we can find another legitimate "If you want to hide in the Unified Church, even if Lasma can leave Mink Street in two years, it will not be easy to find you."
"Okay, I have to go to the meeting, no, to be exact, I have to confess my sins."
"Go ahead, I won't tell you anything interesting next time."
"Like the story of Maila?"
"Who is Maila? A new movie star?" Neo shrugged, "I don't like watching movies very much."
"How is your book going?"
"I have already picked a title."
"In half a month, you only picked a title?"
"Oh, my God, you have never written a book, Karen?"
"No."
"Have you ever heard of a saying that every literate person will consider himself a writer at a certain stage in his life."
"And then?"
"And then, most people's passion for being a writer is 99% used up after they choose a title for their book."
"Well, what's the title?"
"My Struggle."
Karen: "..."
"How about it, how do you feel about this title?"
"Change it."
"Is it bad?"
"It's terrible."
"Really? I just think "If I Give You One Day of Light" is too explicit."
...
The meeting was held in the auditorium.
On both sides were District Mayor Harry and Acting Chief Bishop Dunk, and their subordinates were sitting behind them.
This scene was a bit like the talks between the two forces when Karen was on security duty before; in fact, it was really similar.
Below, there were many reporters, and even more people listening, and the broadcasting array had been turned on.
It was just that compared to Karen's times at that time, the scene was much quieter, because everyone knew what was going to happen today, and they all assumed that it was just a process.
When Karen looked down boredly, she could see many female reporters looking at her with pity.
In their opinion, it was a pity that such a young, handsome man who could often make big news ended his political career like this.
Below, Alfred opened the file that his young master handed to him before he went on stage to attend the meeting, and read it with Vic who was sitting next to him.
At first, the two didn't think anything was wrong, but after reading a few pages, their eyes widened.
However, Alfred quickly adjusted his expression, making himself look like he had expected everything, and he had to draw a smile of "Oh, as expected" at the corner of his mouth.
Vic clenched his fists and began to beat his thighs continuously, his eyes were red, and he muttered in his throat:
"Fire! Fire! Fire!"
"What's wrong?" Philomena asked Richard who was sitting next to her.
Richard observed Vic's reaction and replied: "I don't know, but it should be a good thing."
Above,
the meeting was proceeding in an orderly manner.
Everything is developing according to the route set by Bishop Bourne yesterday.
First, the leaders of both sides exchanged valuable opinions and set the tone.
Next, the subordinates of both sides began to connect with each other under the tone, and everything went according to plan.
Acting Chief Bishop Dunke acknowledged the importance and enthusiasm of the work of the Whip of Order, and put forward constructive suggestions for both parties to continue to cooperate in this area in the future, but he also made comments on the omissions in the work of the Whip of Order, and tacitly acknowledged the fact that Bishop Yedel himself had problems.
Bernie, Karen and Neo were publicly criticized by District Chief Harry. Bernie was lightly let go, and the focus was on Karen and Neo. He promised to deal seriously with the relevant responsible persons who made mistakes in their work.
Then, the five bishops who were detained would be released immediately. They would be escorted out of the Order Whip headquarters building by Dunke, the acting chief bishop, and his party.
Next, it was a simple closing link of mutual praise. The theme was inseparable from the political correctness of the two systems cooperating and creating a bright new situation for the future of the Order God Church.
When the host announced the successful conclusion of the meeting, both the stage and the audience seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. This storm was fierce, but it was finally eliminated before it caused real huge damage.
Then, almost all reporters swarmed to the edge of the stage, holding up their cameras and began to take pictures of Karen. The pictures of the broadcasting array also captured Karen sitting there.
Maybe everyone wants to use such a picture as the cover of this series of reports. A frustrated young man who wanted to show off and ended up causing trouble ruined his bright future.
"Perhaps, he should be more calm and down-to-earth in his work. This is the right path for a young person to take."... This is a native reporter.
"I'm sorry, we may lose him. He should have been shining."... This is also a native reporter.
"No matter how sharp the edge is, it can't resist the twilight of order. He tried his best, but he couldn't penetrate the darkness of order!"... This is a foreign reporter.
"Look, he is sitting there alone, with his hands in the pockets of his robe. He is so lonely and so desolate. His heart should be lost and desperate, because he can't save the Order God Church that is destined to decline."... This is also a foreign reporter.
Karen, who has been compiled countless autobiographies in his mind by reporters, silently grabbed the token in his pocket and infused his spiritual power into it;
Order, issued.
Minister Bernie left his seat and walked in front of Karen. He knew that Karen would be expelled from the Whip of Order system, but this was not a real punishment for what he had done!
So, Bernie understood that there was a force behind this guy who was watching over and supporting him.
Therefore, when things came to this point, he did not have any joy of victory, and he was too lazy to do anything provocative and sarcastic, because after all, he was the only loser who was about to be demoted. He just hoped that the adults above would keep their promises and not forget to reinstate him after the limelight.
Minister Bernie stretched out his hand, put it in front of Karen, and said in a relatively calm tone:
"Anyway, it's all over."
Karen gently pushed Bernie's hand away. Although he was sitting on the chair, he showed a "condescending" look:
"In fact, it's just the beginning."
