Ring—
The sudden ringing of the phone imdiately caught everyone’s attention. Mona found the phone and saw it was Luo An’s, with an unfamiliar number on the screen.
Sister Ali smiled slightly:
"Group Leader Luo An, I think..."
"Mona, turn off the phone."
Luo An glanced sideways at Mona, interrupting Sister Ali, and said:
"No calls during the operation, rember?"
"Sorry, that’s my fault."
Mona wasn’t upset. She discreetly glanced at Sister Ali, then pressed the phone’s power button.
Sister Ali’s smile instantly vanished as she glared at Luo An:
"Group Leader Luo An, you’re being..."
Not waiting for Sister Ali to finish, Luo An waved, cutting her off, and loudly commanded:
"Suspects captured successfully, clear the scene, and retreat imdiately!"
"Understood!"
Everyone responded in unison, automatically dividing tasks to tidy up the scene and escort Sister Ali and the two n in suits to the vehicle, giving Sister Ali no chance to continue speaking.
Sister Ali: "..."
After cleaning up quickly, the group swiftly left the area and returned to the airport. Shortly after arriving, Winslow, Chenier, and their team also returned safely to join them.
Winslow’s side had no casualties either, only two SWAT team mbers with minor injuries, nothing serious.
Moreover, Winslow’s team brought back a middle-aged white man reeking of alcohol, an unconscious injured young white man, and a safe the size of an adult’s waist.
Seeing the group’s confusion, Chenier coughed and explained:
"This is the safe from the villa. We didn’t bring professionals this ti, so I just took it out of the wall."
Noticing the cent still attached to the safe, Mona’s eyelids twitched, but Luo An gave Chenier a thumbs up:
"Well done."
Chenier smiled, and Luo An pointed at the middle-aged white man lying drunk on the ground, asking:
"Who is this guy?"
Chenier’s expression turned strange as she looked at Winslow, who also had a peculiar expression, and replied:
"He’s the Archbishop of the Judgnt Process Church."
"..."
Mona was full of surprise. According to Ashiya’s earlier description, the Archbishop of the Judgnt Process Church was a well-dressed man with a constant smile, polite in speech and behavior, but secretly a sadistic demon disguised in a suit.
But the man on the ground didn’t look like a vagrant, yet he wasn’t much better.
Winslow was about to explain when Luo An suddenly frowned, looked at the dust rising in the distance, and ordered:
"Everyone, board the plane imdiately! We’ll discuss the details after we’re clear of here!"
"Understood!"
Everyone responded in unison, quickly packing and boarding the plane. The dust in the distance grew larger, and the convoy beneath it gradually appeared before their eyes.
Luo An remained unchanged, boarding the plane last. The plane quickly started taxiing. The convoy of over thirty cars tried to intercept, but it was too late, and they could only watch as the plane soared into the sky at dawn.
"Damn it!"
In the convoy, a fifty-sothing white man in a suit with a diterranean hairstyle watched the plane speed away with the sunrise, full of frustration and anger, cursing softly. He pulled out his phone, dialed a number, and said:
"Sorry, I was a step too late and couldn’t intercept them. The rest is up to you."
anwhile, on the plane in the sky, the group looked through the windows at the convoy of over thirty cars on the ground, feeling both incredulous and relieved.
Several SWAT team mbers exchanged glances, looking admiringly at Luo An seated in the distance.
No doubt, Luo An’s "direct hit, quick withdrawal" plan was spot on. A few minutes later, if the plane had been surrounded by that convoy, who knows what could have happened.
Luo An ignored the SWAT team mbers’ looks and sat with Mona, listening to Winslow’s explanation.
Winslow explained that the unconscious young man was a newly appointed accountant for the church, mainly responsible for handling financial matters within the church.
During the villa raid, the accountant was injured by a grenade and, thinking Winslow’s team would kill him, confessed everything in fear.
"That sleeping guy is Xavier Lancaster, indeed the Archbishop and founder of the Judgnt Process Church."
Winslow pointed at the middle-aged white man still lying asleep nearby and said:
"The accountant said that a year and a half ago, the second-in-command of the Judgnt Process Church wasn’t Sister Ali, but a nun nad Maria."
Archbishop Xavier founded the Judgnt Process Church to make money. Initially, Xavier cozied up to wealthy people with little success since he couldn’t offer them anything valuable at the ti.
Later, Xavier t Maria sowhere and brought her into the church.
Unlike Xavier, who was good at speeches and preaching, Maria was a very shrewd woman.
Under the guise of the First Nun to the Archbishop, Sister Maria swiftly organized the rules, penalties, rewards, and promotion channels of the Judgnt Process Church in just a few months.
She helped Archbishop Xavier connect with many politicians through the church’s young n and won, then t more businessn through the politicians, leading to the rapid expansion of the Judgnt Process Church with nurous branches established.
Mona nodded slightly, thinking those branches were where Ashiya and Leisha were imprisoned.
Luo An thought for a mont and asked:
"Ashiya ntioned before that there was a conflict between the Archbishop and Sister Maria that caused internal chaos among the branch managers, allowing her and a group to escape. What happened?"
"The accountant doesn’t know much about that aspect. All he knows is that Archbishop Xavier and Sister Maria had different goals."
Winslow answered:
"Xavier has always been in it for the money, while Sister Maria wanted to use the Judgnt Process Church as a stepping stone to enter politics."
Mona frowned deeply, shaking her head:
"That Sister Maria couldn’t possibly succeed."
Luo An didn’t comnt on that, and Winslow continued:
"In any case, conflicts arose between the two, deepening over ti.
Once, when Sister Maria discussed with a politician about helping her enter politics, she was refused again. Enraged, Maria took out so videos and photos to blackmail the politician.
The politician was furious, seemingly accepted Sister Maria’s request but imdiately called Archbishop Xavier, demanding he get rid of her."
Mona frowned upon hearing this:
"Xavier agreed?"
"Yes, he did."
Winslow chuckled and replied:
"The accountant didn’t explain much, but it was a back-and-forth struggle, ultimately leading to Maria’s defeat and death, severely injuring the Judgnt Process Church itself."
Mona looked down silently, while Luo An pointed to Sister Ali in the distance and asked:
"Then what’s this woman’s deal?"
