Chapter 1045: Chapter 372: The Divine Oracle High Priest Huo Bing, The Pope Dies Suddenly, How Pleasing

He was filtered out, so it was normal that he didn’t recognize her.

For example, take that famous playboy who, during the day, is seen with models in clubs, and at night, blends in with ordinary citizens wearing a half-mask, his chin clearly exposed, yet no one recognizes him.

"I remember now, she was once a wanted criminal by The Church, involved in the assassination of the successor to the Naturalist Knight..."

Weiwen muttered to himself. Ordinary wanted criminals wouldn’t catch the attention of the Divine Oracle High Priest, but his memory was still fresh due simply to the connection with the Naturalist Knight successor.

There are no completely sealed walls in the world; the fact that Wayne was the Naturalist Knight successor still leaked out.

Weiwen was not aware of this matter; Mula had warned the few who knew about it. Saina and Gavin wouldn’t gossip carelessly, and Tubie also dared not spout nonsense, but there was another person present at that time.

Pope Ludwig.

Busy with a myriad of tasks every day, His Holiness was so busy that it was understandable if he accidentally slipped up.

How Weiwen acquired this information, through what channels, is unknown.

"So it seems, you have found leverage over the Pope."

Weiwen looked at Saina admiringly, "It’s just like you; understanding the Pope’s style of work, your secretary should have already been dead, and you had someone pretend to be her to survive a disaster, right?"

Saina sipped her juice, engaging in a slow and steady strategy; upon hearing this, she glanced sideways, "I didn’t expect that despite my deep cover, you still found out."

"You did not even hide!"

Weiwen, tormented by the sarcastic commentary, pulled out a chair and sat down, "Saina, you hold leverage over the Pope, plus your acquaintance with the successor of the Naturalist Knight, and alliances with the Great Prophet and Holy Maiden, ensure you will be the next Pope."

"I would think so, but the Knight Lord is not interested in the internal politics of The Church, and he doesn’t think highly of me either," Saina said somberly.

This was said for the benefit of Wayne; everyone present, every single one, was part of a flirtation play.

"Just as it should be, Knight Lord is truly perceptive!"

Weiwen sneered thrice. How could the Divine Oracle High Priest be a good woman? This was the Naturalism Church, where no one in the top ranks was decent.

"Weiwen, why did you come here tonight?"

With a murky tone, the Mandrill said, "If it’s to report to the Pope, there’s still time now. If you delay any further, my real body will arrive."

"The more, the merrier! There’s an additional witness!"

Facing the threat, Weiwen was undaunted, staring intensely at Saina, "Tonight, I enter the game in support of you becoming Pope. Once it’s done, I remain the Divine Oracle High Priest and you will not touch my power."

Saina knew this and showed no surprise. Instead, she responded, "To enter the game requires capital. What’s your stake? Just because you discovered a private gathering?"

"No, you can’t defeat Ludwig. If he keeps stalling and doesn’t leave, you’ll never become Pope."

Weiwen pointed at Odilia, "This tainted witness is too insignificant to make a difference. I, on the other hand, possess ample evidence to remove Ludwig from office."

"Empty words."

"Let me give you a part of it..."

Mercurially fetching documents from his Personal Space, Weiwen slid two files across the table to Saina, "Ludwig’s achievements are deeply tied to the support from Prussia. In the last war, he secretly aided them, and only by withdrawing in time did he manage to escape the fallout of defeat. This time...that’s all I can say for now."

Saina briefly reviewed the files, which contained dark secrets of human modification and an account book. Ludwig’s power had secretly captured wild mages and sent them to Prussia, also providing technical expertise. Prussia’s growth and strength owed much to him.

Saina casually stored the files into her Personal Space, with no intention to return them, "The material is good, and I believe you have more crucial evidence, but I don’t trust you."

The Mandrill nodded, "Exactly, you say you join, but how do we know this isn’t the Pope’s scheme?"

"Humph!"

Weiwen’s face darkened, "Ludwig has gone too far. Knowing I held a significant amount of incriminating evidence against him, he wanted me dead, so I naturally have to retaliate."

"Really now? Did he make a move against you?" Tubie asked with amusement.

"He didn’t act himself but collaborated with Prussia’s Party Guard Corps to set up an ambush— I was almost killed."

Touching his neck, the murderous intent in Weiwen’s eyes intensified, his desire for revenge unquenchable. He wanted to see Ludwig die on the God-chosen Continent, not escape to the Divine Nation to live happily.

"Let me tell you the truth, Beck and Makarai have always been deep in cooperation with Ludwig, and he introduced them to work with Prussia. These two scoundrels are also unclean and participated in ambushing me..."

Weiwen clenched his teeth, "If you want to topple the Pope, these two lackeys must be dealt with, and you need me!"

Indeed, your timing is impeccable!

Wayne nodded silently, appreciating his decision to disguise himself as Party Guard Corps, which not only honed his acting but also gained a pawn.

As the Divine Oracle High Priest and the Pope died violently, how sweet it sounded.
