And he!
The current head of the Mas family, who actually recognized a traitor as his father and served as a minion for the Holy See for so many years!
Continuously sending talented young members of the Mas family to the Holy See!
Pathetic!
Ridiculous!
Chris could no longer bear to remain in the mausoleum with any semblance of dignity; he had betrayed so many ancestors!
His heart was a maelstrom of emotions, but the immense rage and hatred towards the Holy See could not be concealed!
They had treated him like a fool, deceiving him for so long!
Was the Pope still gloating over the foolish actions of his Mas family?
Chris tightly clenched the letter in his hand, his fingertips piercing through the paper and digging into his flesh, yet Chris felt no pain whatsoever!
The Holy See!
His Mas family would have to settle the blood debt accumulated over these years!
Zhou Lu had no idea why such intense killing intent emanated from Chris at that moment, but Chen Fan understood clearly.
It seemed Chris had found the truth.
Chen Fan sighed and patted Chris's shoulders twice, "Let's talk outside."
RUMBLE!
As soon as Chen Fan finished speaking, the entire tomb shuddered violently!
This commotion didn't seem to originate from within the tomb, but rather like—
Chris's expression instantly turned grim, "Someone is making a move outside the mausoleum!"
In Europa, who would dare to engage in combat within the Mas family's ancestral burial grounds?
Chris suppressed his overwhelming hatred, carefully put away the letter, and said, "Let's go out."
With that, he took the lead, accelerating his pace and leading Chen Fan and Zhou Lu out of the underground chamber.
"Yin Ping! I'm telling you one last time! Get out of the way!"
"Heh! Unless I die, you'll never pass!"
Before Chen Fan and the others could even exit the stone gate, they heard the sounds of an argument from outside. A Venerable?
Chen Fan and Chris exchanged glances. It was people from the Holy See!
Their expressions both sank. Chen Fan strode out directly from within, "What's going on?"
Upon seeing Chen Fan emerge safely, Yin Ping immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But before he could speak, the person in the golden robe from the Holy See sneered and waved, "Surround him!"
As the golden-robed figure spoke, the people from the Holy See immediately moved!
In the blink of an eye, Chen Fan was already trapped within their Holy See encirclement.
It was indeed coming for him.
Chen Fan, surrounded, showed no sign of panic. He looked directly at the golden-robed man standing at the periphery, "What do you want?"
The golden-robed man sneered, "You killed one of my Holy See members, and today I've come to take your head to appease his soul in heaven!"
Chen Fan noticed that the emblem embroidered on his sleeve was more vibrant and lifelike than what he had seen before. He raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest piquing, "Who are you?"
The golden-robed man stood with his hands behind his back, "South District Commander of the Holy See, Lu Changfeng."
"Oh?"
Chen Fan appraised him with interest before asking Yin Ping, who stood nearby, "Is he quite high-ranking?"
Yin Ping understood his meaning and nodded, "Not bad."
The two of them chatted as if no one else were present, as if they were discussing the weather, completely disregarding Lu Changfeng.
Lu Changfeng's face instantly turned as dark as iron, "You're about to die, and you still show no fear!"
"Ignorant child! This time next year will be your death anniversary!"
"Kill him for me!"
As soon as Lu Changfeng finished speaking, the Holy See followers moved!
Their swords were drawn from their waists!
The swords were pointed directly at Chen Fan!
With so many people and so many sharp swords, Lu Changfeng was almost certain that Chen Fan would be riddled with holes in the next moment!
But!
In the next moment, the gleaming swords suddenly lost their luster, and then, slowly, as if an invisible hand was bending them, they became deformed.
How was this possible!
Lu Changfeng stared at Chen Fan before him, his eyes wide with disbelief, "You still possess such power!"
When those people brought the news back to the Holy See, they dared not brag about Chen Fan's might, merely flattering the Holy See and saying that Chen Fan only succeeded through a lucky ambush.
Therefore, Lu Changfeng hadn't taken him seriously at all from the beginning!
If the Venerable who had gone to the Mas family yesterday did not fall under their South District's jurisdiction, and if he hadn't heard that Chris had brought Chen Fan along, intending to issue a warning, he wouldn't have appeared here!
But—
Lu Changfeng never imagined that Chen Fan, whom he had always underestimated, possessed such formidable strength!
Chen Fan chuckled. He pushed his palms outward, and his qi surged like a gale, pushing back everyone who had surrounded him!
Simultaneously, the Dark Fox mercenaries led by Yin Ping moved!
They swiftly advanced and attacked, subduing all the followers who, moments ago, were still shocked by Chen Fan's ability to repel them with a single move. The entire process was extremely fast.
By the time Lu Changfeng reacted, only he remained from the Holy See!
Even though he had seen his fair share of storms, he now became serious. He looked at Chen Fan, who was steadily approaching him, and loudly shouted at Chris, "Are you Mas family fools!"
"He's about to attack this Venerable, why aren't you quick to capture him!"
Lu Changfeng had expected that under his angry reprimand, Chris would quickly lead his men to protect him. However, Lu Changfeng didn't anticipate that after waiting for a long while, Chris would not only show no intention of helping but would also look at him with utter indifference?
Lu Changfeng was furious, "Chris! What do you mean by this?!"
"Are you also betraying the Holy See today? Does your Mas family wish to become the first clan to fall from grace in Europa!"
