As others might have fallen victim by now, Ye Cangtian, always vigilant, had already perceived the young boy's actions.
"This..."
Seeing the boy's move, Gui Wu was almost stunned.
She never imagined that a boy of a few years could ambush Ye Cangtian. Fortunately, Ye Cangtian was prepared.
Even so, she broke out in a cold sweat.
If Ye Cangtian had died because of this, she would never forgive herself, as she had essentially forced Ye Cangtian into this situation.
On the other side, Ye Cangtian lifted the young boy and said coldly, "I saved your life, why did you try to assassinate me!"
"My uncle said I could only live if I killed you..."
The young boy's face showed fear as he spoke, glancing at the deceased Andrew.
With those words, Ye Cangtian understood everything.
Andrew had actually used his nephew as bait; the ruthlessness of his scheme exceeded Ye Cangtian's imagination.
With that in mind, Ye Cangtian placed the young boy on the ground and slowly said, "You may go. When you grow up and seek revenge, come find me!"
Ye Cangtian did not harm him. In his eyes, adult conflicts should not involve children.
The young boy was slightly taken aback. He had expected to die after trying to assassinate the other party, but he hadn't expected Ye Cangtian to spare him.
"Ye Cangtian, you might not live to see him seek revenge!"
Just then, a cold voice echoed. Startled, the young boy turned and fled.
Ye Cangtian turned to look and saw over a dozen cardinals, led by Arthur, slowly approaching them.
Arthur had been secretly monitoring Ye Cangtian. He had the opportunity to stop Andrew and the others from their suicidal actions but did not intervene.
He was waiting for this very moment.
Regardless, Ye Cangtian had killed four cardinals who were enforcing the law. This gave him the justification to kill Ye Cangtian.
On the other side, watching Arthur approach slowly, Ye Cangtian frowned slightly and said, "To find a reason to attack me, your Holy See truly resorts to any means!"
"What are you talking about? I don't understand!"
Upon hearing this, Arthur feigned ignorance.
He knew that his methods were a bit despicable, but he believed it was all worth it.
After all, if the other party continued to live, who knew how many more members of the Holy See would suffer.
"Don't understand? That's fine, I can explain it to you!"
Ye Cangtian smiled with disdain and continued, "It's just a child. Even if he stole money, there's no need to beat him to death. What's most ridiculous is that everyone on the street..."
"Silence! I don't have time to quibble with you!"
"I only see that you killed four cardinals!"
"Now, you have only one path – death!"
Before Ye Cangtian could finish, Arthur interrupted him.
He knew Ye Cangtian was eloquent, his mouth capable of bringing the dead back to life.
Now that he had finally found an opportunity, he didn't want Ye Cangtian to turn the tables.
As he spoke, Arthur waved his hand, and instantly, the cardinals behind him slowly advanced towards Ye Cangtian.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Just then, two figures flashed. Gui Wu and Lan Yue, who had been observing from the side, stood up and instantly appeared beside Ye Cangtian.
"Don't be agitated."
Seeing the two women about to make a move, Ye Cangtian quickly stopped them.
He then glanced at Arthur and said, "Arthur, you know the truth of the matter. You should have also realized that I have transmitted what just happened online. Do you think the Pope would want you to act!"
Ye Cangtian's intention was simple: his video had already been uploaded, and it would undoubtedly cause a huge uproar.
This would have a significant impact on the Holy See's reputation.
If the Holy See were to act against him, its reputation could even face destruction.
He believed the Pope would not make such a foolish choice!
"Hahaha..."
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Arthur burst into laughter.
He looked at Ye Cangtian with contempt and laughed, "Ye Cangtian, despite your intelligence, you say I discovered your recording. How could I not have taken precautions!
Let me tell you, I have already ordered the interception of all surrounding signals, ensuring your video cannot be transmitted to the network!"
The Pope had previously informed him of the plan by Andrew and others to use their deaths to trap Ye Cangtian.
Because of this, Arthur had been paying close attention to Andrew's arrangements.
To trap Ye Cangtian, Andrew had meticulously planned for a long time, employing every possible scheme.
Not only were signal-jamming equipment and personnel deployed in the vicinity, but even the people on the pedestrian street were actors hired by them.
This was why, even knowing Ye Cangtian was recording, they dared to act.
Therefore, it was now impossible for Ye Cangtian to upload the video and damage the Holy See's reputation.
Arthur was very confident about this point.
"Heh, is that so?"
Seeing Arthur's confident smile, Ye Cangtian also smiled and said playfully, "Shall we make a bet?"
"Oh? It seems you're still not giving up!"
"Alright, tell me, how do we bet?"
Arthur glanced at Ye Cangtian and asked.
Killing Ye Cangtian like this was rather boring. It would be more interesting if the other party could die in despair.
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian didn't delay and said directly, "You can contact the Pope now and ask him if he dares to kill me!"
Hahaha!
Upon hearing this, Arthur burst into laughter again, saying contemptuously, "Ye Cangtian, do you think too highly of yourself? How could you ask such a foolish question?"
Arthur's face was filled with disdain.
The Pope had long wished to kill Ye Cangtian, and now that he had found an opportunity, why would he let it pass?
There was no need to even make a phone call.
"Making a call won't take much time."
"Besides, if I'm to die, shouldn't I die with peace of mind?"
Ye Cangtian listened to Arthur and said with a smile.
This...
With those words, the smile on Arthur's face vanished, and his brows furrowed.
Logically speaking, the other party was already facing death, so contacting the Pope was meaningless.
But Ye Cangtian's repeated insistence made Arthur feel a little uneasy. He didn't believe Ye Cangtian would do something meaningless!
After a moment of silence, Arthur looked at Ye Cangtian and said fiercely, "Fine, I will grant your wish and let you die with peace of mind!"
As he spoke, Arthur took out his phone and made a call.
His phone was registered with the Holy See, so the surrounding jamming equipment would not intercept its signal.
"Arthur, why are you calling me?"
The Pope's voice soon came through the phone.
"Your Holiness, your subordinate has just discovered that Ye Cangtian killed four cardinals. I am specifically seeking your instructions on whether to kill him!"
Arthur got straight to the point, briefly explaining the situation before asking for the Pope's opinion.
"You need to ask me about something like this?"
"What are you even doing!"
The Pope's voice grew noticeably darker. He had wanted to kill Ye Cangtian for a long time, and he had also been informed in advance about Andrew and the others' plan.
Now that Ye Cangtian had committed a crime, he should be executed directly.
But the subordinate was asking for instructions. What was he thinking?
Hearing the Pope's reprimand, Arthur's expression turned icy. In his opinion, he had unwittingly fallen into Ye Cangtian's trap.
It was clear that the other party wanted to annoy him and incur the Pope's wrath before dying.
With that in mind, he looked at Ye Cangtian and said fiercely, "Ye Cangtian, you heard that too. Prepare to die!"
As he spoke, Arthur was about to hang up the phone and act.
But at that moment, Ye Cangtian on the other side smiled and said, "Arthur, have you ever considered that even your call can go through.
Do you think the surrounding jamming equipment can really block my phone signal?"
"Damn it, are you looking down on the Holy See's capabilities?" Arthur retorted grimly.
"Wait!"
As soon as Arthur's voice fell, the Pope's voice came through the phone again.
