He is the Holy Son of the Holy See, but a master of black magic.

When Father Matthew mentioned his plan to use the general trend to force Andy into the organization, many people opposed it.

This was not because of his conscience, or because of the loss of manpower in rescuing the boy.

But because doing this will expose the opposition organization that was originally hidden in the dark to the eyes of the housekeeper and even the royal family.

This is very detrimental to the organization.

It's hard to say whether it's worth it in exchange for a boy who, although very talented, needs years of training before he can be used.

Until the priest claimed that he would send an absolutely reliable person to do the most exposed rescue link, and the organization itself would not be implicated.

They reluctantly agreed to the plan.

Facts have proved that Father Matthew is very organized in his work.

The police chief who rescued Andy was not reliable, but he was obviously a deserter. Although he confessed, the information he provided was either wrong or misleading.

No matter how angry the housekeeper who captured the abandoned son was, he never found out who were really against him.

The senior management breathed a sigh of relief.

Unfortunately, now they know that it is too early to relax!

"If we hadn't saved that damn boy, how could we have suffered so much loss now?"

The speaker did not pay attention to Father Matthew, but looked at the "mummy weirdo" at the head of the conference table, and said angrily:

"Decades of hard work have been ruined in this way. With such a heavy price, someone must stand up and take responsibility!"

"That's right."

Another senior executive said in a deep voice: "The people on the island don't know what happened yet, but if the channel is closed for a long time, they will find something abnormal sooner or later."

"Many people's relatives are on land. If we don't handle it well, there will be trouble..."

"This matter will never end unless we die."

"Matthew deserves death! So does the boy!"

"Shouldn't we discuss what to do next?"

"Besides hiding and waiting for the royal family to calm down, what else can we do?"

"..."

There was no concealment in the continuous chatter, as if Father Matthew was not present at all.

Obviously, these people no longer think that he has any chance of survival, and the reason is still the same - someone must take responsibility for the organization's decision to cut off the tail to survive!

In fact, one Matthew is not enough, and neither is a boy.

As the meeting continued, the few people who originally sided with Matthew and agreed to his plan also became targets of criticism!

As for whether this will worsen the situation for an organization that has already suffered heavy losses?

In the current bleak situation, the top management no longer cares about the possibility of civil strife due to improper handling!

In this regard, the gray-haired Father Matthew remained expressionless.

Sitting in the middle of the conference table, looking at everything in the mess around him, not only was he no longer angry, but there was a smile in his eyes.

Because the current situation seems to be extremely unfavorable to him, but in fact it is not -

Those who had supported his decision were already annoyed by the sudden disaster.

But now, being attacked by other senior officials, they could only choose to defend Matthew.

In other words, choose to protect yourself.

"It was indeed Matthew who we supported first, but you didn't object later, right?"

"Can this plan be passed without the support of everyone?"

"And there is obviously something unusual about this matter. Why was it that we were not hit when we saved the boy at first, but now there is an accident all of a sudden?"

"Why did the royal family become so angry?"

"Obviously it has something to do with the housekeeper..."

The chaotic situation in the conference room did not intensify as the dispute continued, but instead gradually became "clarified".

Because there are indeed many strange things about the matter, the senior executives are angry and angry, but they are not completely emotional after all.

And as long as you participate in the discussion, the state of being at odds will be greatly alleviated.

So unconsciously, the atmosphere became relatively relaxed.

Seeing this, Father Matthew, who remained silent, glanced covertly at the black deputy mayor who had been looking at him.

The other party caught the signal immediately.

After hesitating for a moment, he coughed loudly, and then, with everyone watching, he said in a serious tone:

"We may have made a fatal mistake!"

"What is wrong?"

"The housekeeper didn't pay much attention to boys before, because the boy's origin would not allow him to compete for the position of the disciple. But what if the issue of origin is no longer an issue?"

"You mean, Matthew made a mistake in his investigation?"

Obviously someone didn't want to let the priest go. After hearing this, he immediately said: "Isn't this even more important to hold accountable?"

"Maybe that's the case."

The deputy mayor nodded first, and then said, "But everyone knows who Matthew is, would he make such a stupid mistake?"

The chief exorcist's abilities and methods are still very convincing to others.

Moreover, the priest's character has been tested for many years and has been unanimously recognized by everyone.

So, as soon as these words were said, although there were still a few people who looked unhappy, most of them really calmed down.

"If the boy was not born in the world, but in the extraordinary world, then as long as someone stronger than Matthew has covered up for him, Matthew will naturally not be able to find out anything."

“Is that teacher’s discriminatory character wrong?”

"It's impossible. This has been proven by many deeds. How could it go wrong?"

"But what if someone higher than that teacher gives the order?"

"That's right. I am a classmate of the Crown Prince. Is it possible that the empire's high-level officials would completely let him make his own decisions?"

"The royal family is so angry now. It's obvious that they know something..."

"Do they think the boy is a threat in our hands?"

"threaten?"

As soon as this word appeared, the conference room became completely silent.

Everyone looked at each other and didn't speak for a long time.

The priest's trading plan is not difficult to guess, but usually they fall into a misunderstanding.

Even though he felt that boys were not competitive, he subconsciously never thought of betraying his own people.

But now, with the guidance of the situation, and with the royal family obviously taking abnormal large-scale actions, such a layer of window paper has naturally been pierced!

Moreover, it will go more smoothly than if the priest takes the initiative to say it!

Not all high-level executives are heartless or unable to see the downside of such things.

They may eventually compromise, but they will certainly resist in the meantime and require constant persuasion.

On the other hand, Andy's teaching behavior in the past few days also brought him great benefits——

At least some of the supernatural beings on the island like Andy very much and look forward to Andy growing up.

For priests, this is an opposition force that cannot be underestimated.

But now, under the duress of the situation, none of these so-called opposition forces have made a sound!

"If the royal family really thinks we are threatening them with boys."

Seeing this, the black deputy mayor spoke again, "Then those of us who stayed on the shore will not really lose their lives, they will only be used by the royal family as part of the bargaining chip."

"That's right."

Someone nearby agreed and said: "The royal family seems angry, but is it not a fear? People like them will definitely prepare for the worst before doing anything."

What's the worst case scenario?

Of course, when he found that no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find the boy's hiding place, he compromised with the rebels.

And it won't take long at all.

Because that teacher will be back in more than a month!

And if the royal family compromises... what will it bring to the organization?

There were some words that no one said, but the expressions on their faces were no longer as gloomy as before.

The atmosphere in the entire conference room also became more relaxed.

Simply suffering a huge loss will make everyone angry, so angry that they need to find someone to vent their anger!

But it turned out that this matter was not as bad as it was.

Once the operation is done well, and it can even bring huge benefits, people's anger will only dissipate.

Then, apart from the anxiety, I felt ecstatic!

So a crisis that should have been fatal was easily handled by Father Matthew.

What's more, those who were criticized by other senior officials like him before have now become his potential allies!

"This period will be difficult, but as long as we get through it, everything will clear up, and the development of the organization will completely reach a new level."

A senior executive who once liked Andy very much is now the first to make a suggestion about it.

"The contract, the negotiation process, the method, the venue, these all need to be carefully considered, and..."

He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The most important thing is that nothing happens to the boy. The job transfer resources we prepared for him before should be distributed to others now. We can't give them to him, so as not to cause any trouble."

"I think he should be put in a dungeon," another added. "Living by the sea is risky."

"That's right."

The third person immediately continued, "He is weak. What if his feet slip while walking and he falls into the sea and drowns?"

"But the environment in the dungeon is not very good. What if you get sick?"

"He is a semi-superhuman, not so fragile..."

No one thinks about what Andy thinks anymore, and no one cares.

Because from now on, Andy is just a bargaining chip in their eyes, a bargaining chip used in transactions.

Father Matthew, who was watching the discussions around him with cold eyes, actually thought so too.

Andy is very smart, has a sharp vision, has a plan for doing things, and his talent is even more amazing.

But the weakness is too obvious.

The body is fragile, the vision is insufficient, and the character is still flawed.

Although the plan had an accident today and the organization suffered heavy losses, it was hard to knock him down with a stick.

But after careful consideration, the priest did not think that the accident could be related to Andy.

His main target of suspicion was that the butler was being watched by people from the royal family, so he leaked the news.

This actually made him reflect secretly, feeling that he was not doing things confidentially and was not cautious enough, which almost led to a big mistake.

As for Andy's ability to pass a letter, use a childish and impulsive nun to run errands, and command Norman's useless old turtle to dig up clues and bring down the housekeeper...

This possibility did not appear in his mind at all.

That's so funny, like telling a joke!

…

The priest would not think so.

But at this moment, some people are pondering the possibility of this matter in deep surprise.

"A little boy, a young girl, an old coward like you..."

Standing in the bishop's bedroom, the duchess named Anjou put her hands on her hips and looked suspiciously at old Norman, who was cowering at the foot of the bed and shivering, wrapped in white sheets and looking frightened.

"Can you remove that butler?"
