Wu Heng said, “I will make a call outside first, then we'll talk later.”
After speaking, he walked to the telephone and dialed the Steward's Office.
After two rings, Shi Yali's voice came from the other end, “Hello!”
“It's me, Shi Yali!” Wu Heng said directly.
Shi Yali immediately said, “We received a letter from headquarters, they believe the Pope was at fault first…”
Listening, Wu Heng found the content Xi Ligui received was not much different from his own.
“I also received a letter, the content is similar to what you said. I'll reply to the headquarters later. Don't worry, there's nothing to be concerned about,” Wu Heng reassured in a soft voice.
“You received a letter too? I was thinking of informing you ahead of time,” Shi Yali said, regretting she wasn't the first to tell him.
Wu Heng smiled and said, “I just received it too.”
“I'll let Xi Ligui know when she gets back, so she won't worry.”
Wu Heng continued, “Okay, I need to call the Lilith Leader too. We'll chat when I'm free.”
“Alright.”
After hanging up, Wu Heng moved on to call Lilith's number.
A few days ago, they had arranged for Lilith's residence to be connected to a telephone.
It rang three or four times before the call was picked up.
“Lilith Leader, it's me.”
“Did you receive the news from headquarters?” Lilith's indifferent voice came through.
“I received it, the Pope is found to be at fault first, it looks not too bad,” Wu Heng replied.
Her tone remained serious, “Come over, I have something to discuss with you.”
Wu Heng could sense the seriousness in her voice and frowned, “I'm on my way.”
He hung up the phone.
Shanaela asked, “What's the matter?”
“Lilith Leader asked me to stop by, I'll see what it's about,” said Wu Heng.
Mini quickly came over to help him don his clothes.
He waved to the others and left using the Teleportation Technique.
A flash of light.
The next second, he appeared in the courtyard of Lilith's mansion.
The door of the residence opened, and a voice came from inside, “Come in!”
Entering the room, Lilith still had the appearance of a little girl.
She picked up a teacup and began making tea for him.
Wu Heng pulled out a chair and sat down, “Leader, do you have any special news?”
Lilith put the teacup in front of him and said gravely, “Some news came from The Holy Court's Holy Hall, and it's not very favorable for you.”
She was responsible for the association's intelligence, and the Secret Speakers operated their own system.
Their information was more abundant and more credible.
Wu Heng's face grew solemn, “Leader, please speak directly!”
Lilith spoke earnestly, “The Holy Hall's new Pope has ascended and issued a papal bull, labeling you a heretic and blasphemer.”
As she spoke, she slid an envelope across the table in front of him, “The letter is here.”
Wu Heng picked up the letter and glanced at it; the content was not very extensive.
But there was an additional clause in the letter which Lilith did not mention, 'Anyone associated with Wu Heng, or any Chamber of Commerce that conducts transactions or collaborations with him, will be seen as an accomplice in blasphemy, and The Holy Court will impose severe sanctions, within the scope justified for eradication and assault.'
Wu Heng's gaze narrowed, immediately realizing the significance of this.
The previous battle with the Pope had already caused most of the elites on Gold and Silver Island to leave, to avoid trouble.
If The Holy Court's message got out.
Gold and Silver Island would become completely isolated, no one would dare to do business with Gold and Silver Island.
Nor would any wealthy merchants come to the island to spend money.
The newly built commercial streets, cinemas, and entertainment cities would become mere decorations.
In terms of foundational strength, no one would offend The Holy Court over Gold and Silver Island.
After reading the letter, Wu Heng handed it back to her, “Thank you, Leader, for informing me of this.”
Lilith nodded, asking indifferently, “What's your plan?”
Wu Heng leaned back in his chair and offhandedly said, “Of course, it is to comply with the association's arrangements.”
Lilith glared at him, “I'm asking about The Holy Court, why are you giving me an official response?”
“Ah, Ao!” Wu Heng laughed, then added, “I haven't figured out what to do yet, I might think of some way to deal with this.”
Lilith took a sip of tea and said, “I don't like The Holy Court either, but sometimes we need to consider the underlying power. It's better to bide your time for now. The headquarters will adjust on your behalf shortly, there should still be room for de-escalation.”
De-escalation!
Wu Heng didn't believe there was room for that.
But Lilith meant well. From her perspective, even if Wu Heng had the strength to kill a Pope on his own, it didn't mean Gold and Silver Island had the foundation to compete with The Holy Court.
One barely a year in development, the other with a longstanding heritage.
“I understand, I'll figure out a way to handle this,” Wu Heng nodded, then leaned forward, “Leader!”
Lilith looked at him curiously, “What is it? Just speak your mind.”
“What level is the new Pope?” Wu Heng asked, voicing his curiosity.
It was previously announced by The Holy Court that there were two heroes, one Pope, and one Religious Leader.
After killing one, a new Pope was quickly installed.
Furthermore, in Wu Heng's worst-case scenario, The Holy Court would launch a major assault on Gold and Silver Island.
But the response was not as significant as he imagined.
“Current intelligence can't confirm, but the possibility that the other party is a hero cannot be ruled out,” Lilith casually replied.
“Could also be a hero?”
Lilith answered, “It's just speculation for now, whether they have reached hero level will have to wait for more specific intelligence to be sent back.”
What a situation, heroes that can't be killed off!
Satellites and missiles, however, need to be deployed as soon as possible.
Wu Heng pondered for a moment, then asked, “Leader, is there anything I should be aware of when establishing a religious sect?”
