Infinite Script Killing
Chapter 490 The Church Earthquake (Part 2)
How powerful is the church?
Early the next morning, someone saw Mayor Randall being put into a black van and disappearing at the end of the street, never to come back again.
Completely disappeared without a trace.
This was a wake-up call that made the officials of Amantes finally remember that above their heads was not only the empire, but also the theocratic church.
For those ordinary people, what happened last night can be described as a fantasy.
From hotels to coffee shops, stories about last night are circulating.
"Have you heard about it?"
"I heard about it."
"Hey, why did we hear different things??"
"Whatever, just praise the great God of Light."
Whether they are ordinary people or the aristocrats and wealthy people in Anmantesli, people's eyes are focused on the direction of the Morgan family.
In the morning when the sun illuminates the earth, Xu Tong has already begun to enjoy the exquisite breakfast and a cup of strong and sweet coffee. The only difference is that he can eat breakfast today with an open belly.
Xu Tong's answer to Berrent last night made Mr. Morgan so happy. Before leaving, Berrent even said in person that he believed that the church would give generous rewards for his past piety in the near future.
Grandpa Morgan doesn't care what the reward is, because he has plenty of money.
But Berendt's subtext was that this reward must be the honorary reward he longed for.
For Mr. Morgan, who is eager to take off his hat as a watch repairman, this is definitely a gift that cannot be obtained.
As for the marriage issue...
Xu Tong didn't mention it, but Master Morgan wisely shut his mouth.
Josie stared blankly at the guy in front of her who was one year younger than herself. It seemed that based on her experience, she still didn't understand why her identity could change so quickly just overnight.
Xu Tong finally put aside his so-called aristocratic dignity and boldly filled his stomach with delicious food. Faced with the fact that he ate breakfast for nearly seven people in one go, Master Morgan not only didn't think there was anything offensive, but was particularly happy because This is a sign of treating him as a confidant.
"By the way, Miss Qiaoxi, I am very interested in the businessman from the East you mentioned before. I wonder if he is still in Amantes."
Qiao Qian was still stunned when she suddenly heard Xu Tong's question and didn't have time to recover. It wasn't until Qiao Qian's mother reminded her that she realized she was rude.
So he quickly responded: "He's still here. This Eastern merchant's ship seems to have been damaged and he won't be able to return for a while, but I don't know his whereabouts."
Xu Tong nodded with regret. In fact, he still hoped to see the face of his hometown in a foreign land, and to understand what era China was in at this moment.
However, judging from the industrial scale of Anmantes, the era should not be too far away from the Qing Dynasty.
But since there was no news of his whereabouts, he gave up the idea.
Because I have more important things to do.
That is to improve your advantage as quickly as possible. Don't forget that this time the script is a killing mode, and your opponent is also a certified player, so you cannot underestimate it at all.
There is another more important thing. He has a very bad feeling in his heart. His strongest enemies may not be these players.
Thinking of this, Xu Tong raised his head and looked at the energy above his head. It seemed that Kevin's energy had changed dramatically after the fuss last night.
But that wasn't enough, he wanted more.
Attracting the church's attention is only the first step; the second step is your most important goal.
Although he had observed through the Fate Eye Qimen last night how amazing the fate of Berent as the regional bishop was, he did not expect that the power of the church would be so amazing in this script.
As the mayor of the second largest city in the empire, he disappeared at the drop of a hat. No one in the entire municipal official system raised any objection to this.
I even flipped through today's newspaper. Interestingly, there was no information about Randall in the headlines of the newspaper, and there was no news about last night's events, even though all kinds of gossip had spread throughout the streets.
This shows that although the church does not interfere with the secular world, the power of the church is still present in every corner of the secular world.
Such a behemoth will be his best protection.
His ultimate goal is to successfully integrate into the church's system, obtain the church's protection, and even control part of the church's resources by virtue of his unique advantages.
This is why he chose to complete his first main mission in such a high-profile way.
"Mr. Morgan, as you know, this is my first time coming to Amantes. As the pearl of the empire, I would like to walk around and learn about the local customs, so can Miss Josie do it for me?" Guide.”
Xu Tong put down the coffee in his hand and asked Mr. Morgan with a smile. Although it was just a question, his words left no room for Mr. Morgan to refuse.
Of course, Mr. Morgan would not refuse this proposal.
However, he was still a little embarrassed: "Of course there is no problem, but... Archbishop Evelin may be on the way here."
Berrent had repeatedly told him not to let Master Kevin make any mistakes. The Archbishop would rush over as soon as possible, so Master Morgan was worried that when the Archbishop arrived, he happened to miss Xu Tong.
"It doesn't matter. If he comes, you can ask him to wait. I'll be back by noon at the latest."
Grandpa Morgan's hand shook unconsciously and spilled a little of the coffee in his hand. Fortunately, the coffee spilled on the napkin on his chest and did not wet his expensive shirt.
Make the archbishop wait for you? ? ?
Such arrogant words, if heard on the street, would be enough to be treated as a heretic.
But these words came out of Master Kevin's mouth, but they were so natural and irrefutable. After all, a bishop like Berent would kiss Master Kevin's ring face. In his opinion, this move was already a sign of harmony. The archbishop has the qualifications to compare.
Although Mr. Morgan was not very willing, he readily agreed.
It's just that he asked his butler to follow him, and also arranged reasonable casual clothes for Xu Tong.
Although the security in Amantes has always been good, it does not mean that there are not those bold and untouchable people. At least the damn crime detection rate of the police station has remained at a level that makes people feel bad.
Shaer naturally followed Xu Tong every step of the way.
So Xu Tong's originally planned trip of two had to become a trip of four.
As for the Morgan family's carriage, Xu Tong rejected it. He hadn't forgotten that there was a carriage waiting for him outside the door for a day and a night.
When Xu Tong and four others walked to the carriage again, the coachman held his arms in his arms and leaned on the seat, soundly sleeping. Fortunately, the night in Amantes was not as bitter as the Northeast.
"Ahem!!"
Seeing that the coachman's big nose was almost flowing to his mouth, Shar couldn't help but show a bit of guilt on his face, because he had completely forgotten about this tool man.
Hearing the cough, the coachman did not open his eyes, but said impatiently: "Get out of here, every second of my life belongs to the Corleone family."
Hearing this, Shar became even more embarrassed.
Regardless of whether the coachman woke up or not, Xu Tong boarded the carriage first, while not forgetting to extend his palm to Qiao Qian behind him.
The coachman woke up when he noticed someone had boarded the carriage. Just when he was about to get angry, he saw Shaer already sitting next to him: "Get ready to drive."
The driver was surprised to find that Xu Tong and Qiao Qian were already sitting on the seats.
Surprised, he quickly took off his hat and said: "No problem."
Pulling up the reins, releasing the brakes, the thin horse began to move slowly along the street.
Xu Tong didn't know where he was going, so he asked the coachman to walk around Amantes to see what the world looked like.
Although Miss Josie is the guide, it is the coachman who really plays the role.
“That’s the best cake shop in Amantes, and there’s the police station, although they’re worse than robbers sometimes.
The big chimney in front is the factory area, and one-third of the steel in the entire empire comes from this great factory.
If you want to relax, see that alley, I promise, for just ten pennies, those Roma girls will open their legs for you, they are the best girls, but be careful, they are too The best thief and liar. "
The coachman was so excited that what he said made people blush more and more.
Although Shaer and another butler tried to tell him to shut up several times, Xu Tong always stretched out his hand to signal them not to interrupt.
So much so that Miss Qiao Qian beside her was already blushing, and her hands were tightly grasping the hem of her skirt.
There were gradually more pedestrians on the street, and the carriages began to slow down appropriately.
Shar looked at the low wooden houses in the distance, frowned and said, "Master, don't go any further. There is a slum ahead. You shouldn't go to that kind of place."
"Yes, please forgive me for being rude. Even Amantes, the Pearl of the Empire, cannot get rid of these humble and despicable rats." The steward's words were full of contempt for these poor people.
Xu Tong didn't take it seriously and instead motioned to the coachman to continue moving forward.
At this moment, Shaer and the housekeeper lost their temper. Shaer wanted to stop it, but he could not point out the young master's mistake in the street, which damaged the young master's dignity. The housekeeper and Qiao Qian did not dare to disobey Xu Tong's voice.
Only the driver drove the carriage forward without any pressure.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The wheels hit the bumpy dirt road, causing the people in the car to feel the bumps.
Gradually, a pungent smell wafted in, causing everyone in the car to cover their noses. It was not the smell of garbage, but a gas similar to that produced by chemicals.
White liquid flowed out along the cracks in the street, dyeing the ground gray.
The figure of the carriage made the children on the street cast curious glances, but when Josie saw these children, she covered her eyes and did not dare to look any further.
Those children had no shoes and stepped barefoot on the dirt road mixed with white ash. The gray-white sewage had caused a thick layer of white scars on the skin of their feet, which looked disgusting.
The drying line in the distance was covered with white cloth, and some women raised their heads numbly.
The face was covered with a thick layer of powder, which was not makeup, but the color of the fabric.
They cast their eyes on the passing carriage, and when they saw the exquisite Miss Josie in the carriage, the eyes of these women imperceptibly showed yearning, but also a deep sense of inferiority.
Shar held the crutch in his hand nervously. He had noticed the unkind looks cast by the men in the shadows.
As for the housekeeper, he clutched the money bag around his waist tightly.
Only Xu Tong's clear eyes were silently staring at the slum in front of him, and he was already thinking about another thing in his heart, how to harvest the incense and merit of these poor people in his own way under the nose of the church.
After all, in order to deal with the Nine Evil Ghost King last time, the incense merit has been almost exhausted.
But this also allowed him to discover a new use for the merits of incense, smashing the gods!
It took the carriage half an hour to get out of this slum.
The faces of Shar and the housekeeper were covered with sweat. They breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that a mob would rush out.
Miss Josie tried her best to calm herself down, but everything she witnessed seemed to have a great impact on her.
The only one with a normal state of mind was the driver who was humming a tune.
"Stop and take a rest."
Xu Tong saw the observation deck not far away and signaled the driver to stop.
Shar and the housekeeper also thought this was a good idea. Although this area was far away from the city center, the scenery was still pretty good.
Close to the sea, you can see the largest port of Amantes.
I jumped off the carriage and felt the sea breeze blowing in my face.
The four of them came outside the coffee shop, admiring the scenery in front of them and leaving behind the sense of depression they had just felt in the slums.
"Please forgive my wording. With your noble status, you will never be able to easily step into a place like that again. It is really too dangerous today."
The housekeeper said seriously to Xu Tong.
Even Shar surprisingly didn't refute.
Because it was really too dangerous, he even noticed the scary eyes of some men looking back and forth at Miss Josie.
I can't imagine what a terrible scene it would be if someone really took the lead and rushed out.
The thought of beautiful Miss Josie being dragged into a dark alley by those dirty pariahs...
Sal didn't dare to think about it any further.
Josie didn't want to mention it anymore, so she told the housekeeper to shut up. Then she stood up and said, "Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom." Josie stood up and left.
The butler knew that he was talking too much, so he looked at the coffee shop on the side: "The taste of this coffee shop should be quite good. Master Kevin, do you want to try it?"
Xu Tong nodded: "Put more sugar."
After the butler expressed his understanding, he stood up and walked into the coffee shop in the distance.
When the housekeeper and Qiao Qian left, Xu Tongcai looked at Shar: "What about you, do you have anything to tell me alone, such as about my relationship with the church?"
Shar has served the Corleone family for 40 years, and there are few secrets that the family deliberately hides from him.
After Kevin's father was shot dead on the street, it was the old housekeeper who took care of Kevin meticulously that allowed Kevin to survive until now.
Therefore, if there is any flaw in his identity, it must be with this old housekeeper.
Sha'er heard Xu Tong's inquiry, thought for a moment, and shook his head. He didn't even have the slightest doubt about Xu Tong.
Just when Xu Tong wanted to inquire further.
Josie had already come back and saw that the housekeeper was not there. After looking around, she asked, "Where is Angus??"
Angus is the name of the butler.
Shar pointed to the coffee shop nearby, indicating that the butler had gone in to buy coffee.
Hearing this, Qiao Qian nodded and didn't care. But as time went on, after waiting for more than ten minutes, Qiao Qian finally couldn't sit still.
"I'll go take a look."
I saw Qiao Xi talking and walking to the coffee shop. However, when she got closer, she noticed that there was already a thin layer of dust on the door of the coffee shop.
This suddenly gave Josie a bad feeling.
"Angus!"
Josie stood outside the door and called, but there was no response from inside. Josie bit her lip and slowly stretched out her hand, but just when she was about to try to push the door open.
The closed door suddenly opened, and Angus, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, stood in front of Josie with a smile.
"Huh... Angus, you old guy, are you trying to scare me into having a heart attack?"
Josie cursed loudly and snatched the coffee from Angus' hand.
Angus explained apologetically: "I'm sorry, Miss, there are too many people in the cafe."
Hearing this, Josie was startled and looked back at the cafe behind Angus suspiciously: "Are you sure there is really someone inside?"
"Of course, it's a shame that there are so many people in such a remote cafe."
As Angus spoke, he didn't forget to look back, but the look on Angus's face suddenly froze.
The originally bustling cafe suddenly became empty.
But the strange thing is that in front of the bar, a man wearing a brand new tuxedo is sitting stiffly.
The man's figure, clothes and appearance are exactly the same as Angus himself...
Exactly the same.
