Chapter 1118: Exasperated
In the end, they still couldnât beat Xu Cheng.
What else could a lunatic like him lose?
This time, he was going to play with them crazily without any scruples. So what if he killed the Pope of the West?
This wasnât the first time PEI en had fought with Xu Cheng, and he knew that Xu Cheng didnât like to talk about principles, because you could only follow his rules.
Otherwise, he could pierce through the sky.
Benjaminâs death could indeed be replaced by someone. In the future, old Rossâs general assets and half of Europeâs power, if it were anyone else, they would be crazy enough to buy their lives to do this job.
Thus, PEI en couldnât afford to gamble. This time, he lost.
The Pope had also lost.
He was leaning against the wall, blood flowing down the corner of his mouth. When he saw Peien calling to cancel the operation, he knew that this time, they didnât manage to scare Xu Cheng.
After all, he was the leader of the deviant Corp, and he was a man who had seen many things. It was indeed as he said, for any ordinary people and powerful people, the Pope was indeed one of the people in the world that could not be provoked, at least in the top three.
âŠ
But for a madman like Xu Cheng who wasnât even afraid of going against the world, what was there to be afraid of?
Peien took out a map, and all the locations and ways to get in were written down. He directly handed it to Xu Cheng and said,ââThis is the way to his lair. Whatâs inside? Iâve written everything I know on it.â
Xu Cheng took a piece of paper and casually looked through it. It was written in such detail that it probably couldnât be fake. Also, Xu Cheng had PEI en in his house, so he probably wouldnât have the guts to lie to him at this time.
Just when Xu Cheng got what he wanted, the Pope stood up, walked over to Peien, picked up his phone, and dialed that number again.
After the call went through, he said in a deep voice,ââI am the Pope.â
...
âLord, please give your orders.â A respectful voice came from the phone.
The Pope looked at Xu Cheng and said in front of him, word for word,ââKill! After killing Benjamin, Iâll give you 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, give me a call! If you donât kill Benjamin, donât come back. â
After saying that, he hung up the phone and crushed the display screen. He looked at Xu Cheng with bloodshot eyes.âI really donât believe you can kill me. I will kill your people. How about it?â
Paine and Morganâs pupils dilated as they looked at the Pope.
This was a man who would risk his life to defend his power and status. In the Western world, even those with money and power had to treat him with respect. How could the Pope, who had always been respected by others, endure such humiliation? He wasnât young anymore, and being humiliated like this at this time was already considered as losing his integrity. He was determined not to allow anyone to make an exception for him in his life.
âLet me tell you, nothing can be accomplished without rules. Itâs not your place to mess around in this world.â The Pope angrily rebuked Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng sat across from him with a faint smile on his face.ââSo you have the final say? What are you? Why do you have the final say? What was the reason? First, youâre not as rich as me. Second, youâre not as powerful as me. Third, youâre not as strong as me. Why are you dancing in front of me? Just because youâre so old, youâre taking advantage of your seniority? âIf others play your tricks, Iâm sorry, but I donât like it. If you give me some leeway, Iâll respect you. Everyone knows about the grudges between me and the remnants of the capital society. What are you playing at today? Iâm telling you, donât give me that. Even if the whole world were to beg me to let him go today, I wouldnât do it. A loser should pay the price of a loser. You shouldnât have interfered in PEI enâs matter today. â
The Pope: âbut I did. So what?â Iâm officially announcing that youâve offended me. I know I canât beat you, but Iâll let everyone around you know how powerful I am. You look down on me, so Iâll let them tell you why I should make you give in 70%. Right now, Benjamin will be the first one. In 20 minutes, he will die. If you are willing to apologize and talk nicely, and not pursue the matter with peen in the future, I can end it with a phone call. â
It was obvious that the old man was furious.
He was angry, but Xu Cheng wasn ât.
He just smiled and finished the cigarette.
After he was done, the Pope sat across from him and said,ââIâm guessing that your men are in a mess in the palace now. I donât know how strong he is and whether he can hold on for so long. Itâs been 10 minutes. I can see that youâre very anxious because youâve already smoked three cigarettes. Men are all like this when theyâre annoyed. I used to be like this too.â
Xu Cheng took out another cigarette and lit it up as he sighed.ââDonât make it sound like you know me so well. In this world, human nature is the hardest to fathom. I have a habit of smoking, and that is to think! Youâre right, youâre the Pope of the Western world, killing you will indeed bring a huge pressure and infamy. Youâve never done anything dirty, but I shouldnât have killed you just because of todayâs incident. Iâm not a brainless person, otherwise I wouldnât be alive today. Iâve trampled on too many imperial power and laws, if Iâm not careful, I would have died long ago. â
The Pope snorted,âyouâve calmed down?â But itâs too late now. I want you to kneel down and repent in the most pious way. â
âIâve never kneeled before anyone in my life except for my parents. â Xu Cheng suddenly said,âbut old man, listen to me, donât try to step on my bottom line. Whether itâs Peien or this old man Morgan, they both know how crazy I am. If you understand the deviant Corp and analyze the true meaning of the deviant Corpâs totem, you wouldnât have come to provoke me. Even if you are the Pope, I didnât kill peen today, and thatâs already giving you a way out. Donât push your luck.â
After that, Xu Cheng stood up and left without looking back. The two bodyguards at the door saw that someone was injured and wanted to stop him, but Xu Cheng put one hand on their shoulders and was instantly electrocuted to death.
They were like two dried corpses, causing the three big figures in the conference room to be extremely frightened.
âPope, stop the operation.â Patriarch Morgan bitterly smiled.
The Pope snorted.âItâs too late. So what if weâre dead? even the Duke is afraid of us and doesnât dare to kill us. Who does he think he is?â
As he spoke, he looked at the time. Twenty minutes had passed. The Pope picked up his phone and called his death servants.
âDid you kill him?â He asked in a hoarse voice.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and then he sighed.ââThis subordinate deserves to die. He let someone escape. When we were moving, we didnât know who it was. They were so fast that we couldnât catch up at all. He carried the target and escaped, and we were killed by the palace guards. Only the three of us were left.â
The Pope was already in a fit of anger, and when he heard this report, he was so angry that he smashed his phone.
âsh*T!â
He still remembered that before Xu Cheng left, it seemed like he didnât take the assassination of Benjamin seriously at all. It was as if everything was already planned out, and he even used chicken feather as a shield to provoke him. It was funny that Xu Cheng already treated him as a joke and left without paying any attention.
