Gabriel didn’t dare continue speaking, but the meaning behind his words was already quite clear.
Of course, Gabriel spoke very tactfully; after all, Michelle and Ye Xunhuan were very close, and if he said too much, it might anger Michelle, so Gabriel didn’t continue.
Michelle was now filled with sadness and pain, but she could still understand the meaning of Gabriel’s words. Immediately, she said, "I want to see the Marshal!"
"Saint, this..."
"Don’t make me say it a second time!"
Seeing Michelle’s unwavering attitude, the others had nothing more to say, but Nicholas suddenly spoke up, "Saint, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to see the Marshal. However, given the urgency of the situation, shouldn’t we first deal with the Pope’s affairs?"
"Announce it directly to the public!"
"Saint, this..."
"A lot of people must know about uncle’s death. Even if we don’t publicly mourn, we can’t hide it from the world!"
Michelle didn’t let grief and hatred cloud her judgment; on the contrary, she was very calm, more so than ever.
Hearing Michelle say this, almost everyone fell silent; what Michelle said was true.
Pope Louis III was killed at Ye Xunhuan’s wedding, so even if they hid the mourning, the news would eventually spread.
Rather than that, it’s better to directly admit to everyone that Pope Louis III is gone.
"I understand!" Nicholas deeply inhaled and said, "Saint, if that’s the case, I think the Marshal will likely come personally at that time!"
No matter what, the church hasn’t completely fallen out with Ye Xunhuan yet. Now that Louis III died on Ye Xunhuan’s territory, how could Ye Xunhuan not come to his funeral?
Especially with Michelle being this way!
Ye Xunhuan couldn’t just ignore Michelle, could he?
......
Meanwhile, in Ye Xunhuan’s kingdom, the big boss had once again brought up leaving.
However, Ye Xunhuan didn’t rush to arrange the departure; instead, he sat down for tea with the other party.
The two sat across from each other, with a set of antique tea utensils placed on the table in front of them.
"Haven’t we met before?" Ye Xunhuan softly inquired of the big boss.
"Why do you suddenly ask that?" The big boss looked at Ye Xunhuan with great curiosity.
"You give me a sense of familiarity." Ye Xunhuan slowly picked up the teacup in front of him, took a small sip of tea, and spoke unhurriedly: "But for a moment, I can’t recall where I’ve seen you!"
"Maybe it’s just your misconception." The big boss said lightly, "Of course, I have seen you and have heard your name countless times!"
"I was just surprised that you are Ye Hetu’s son."
As he spoke, the big boss sighed deeply, saying with emotion, "It’s true that a tiger father begets no dog son!"
Ye Xunhuan did not heed the big boss’s words but instead asked again, "Are you sure we haven’t met?"
The big boss chuckled, "Perhaps we have, given the vast sea of people, many pass us by!"
"Don’t you think your skills at beating around the bush are quite poor?"
"Is that so?"
"I suddenly feel that we must have met!" Ye Xunhuan said emphatically, "And we must have interacted as well."
The big boss chuckled again but didn’t say much, instead picking up the tea in front of him and sipping it lightly.
"This tea is quite good, a floral tea!" The big boss outright changed the subject, "And it’s not Huaxia’s floral tea either!"
Upon hearing the big boss say this, Ye Xunhuan realized in his heart that the other party didn’t want to discuss whether they knew each other anymore, and he understood that insisting wouldn’t be meaningful, as the other party wouldn’t talk about it further.
Then, Ye Xunhuan followed the other’s lead and changed the topic, "I’m curious, why did you kill Louis III, given that you neither have old grudges nor recent animosity?"
"He was in my way!" The big boss directly interrupted Ye Xunhuan and said, "Anyone in my way must die!"
"Do you think killing one Louis III will allow you to rule over this world?"
"No!" The big boss admitted candidly, "But I can slowly eliminate those in my way one by one!"
"Can you kill them all?"
"More or less!"
"Am I in your way too?"
"I’ve said before, I can’t answer that for now, as at present you’re not blocking my path!" The big boss spoke softly.
"Do you know that there are many people stronger than me, and there’s currently one in Huaxia?"
"You mean the mysterious expert that was once invited to Yangcheng by the king?"
"Yes!" Ye Xunhuan nodded, "Do you think you can kill him?"
"Currently, it’s impossible, but who can predict the future?" The big boss said still without urgency, "Besides, if he doesn’t become my enemy, why would I want to bother him?"
"I don’t think you’re the type to allow danger to exist."
Though Ye Xunhuan hadn’t had deep interactions with the big boss, he could feel that this guy wasn’t a good person and would eliminate any danger.
"You seem to know me well!"
"People are strange like that; some know each other for a lifetime yet don’t fully understand one another, but others feel like they know each other well after exchanging just a few words!"
"True!" The big boss agreed with a nod, "Alright, Ye Xunhuan, tell me, when will you finally let me leave?"
"Why don’t you consider whether I’ve thought about letting you leave?"
With that, Ye Xunhuan lowered his head to pour himself a cup of tea.
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, the big boss’s eyes instantly contracted, "Do you want to kill me?"
"Even though you haven’t thought about killing me right now, who’s to say you won’t in the future?" Ye Xunhuan said calmly, "I’m not one to let troubles persist in this world!"
"Especially unknown troubles."
"Ye Xunhuan, you are currently injured, and you should know that I was able to ambush Louis III, proving I’m not easily provoked. If you push me, it won’t be good for you!" The big boss’s expression instantly turned cold, "Besides, you aren’t even aware of who else is here, are you?"
Ye Xunhuan didn’t speak but lightly clapped his hands.
The next moment, Zuo En suddenly appeared from somewhere, holding a tablet computer in his hand.
"Zuo En, show him!"
