Chapter 456: Chapter 455: Inside and Out Collaboration

Ye Fan said, "Because of my relationship with Scarlett!"

"You shouldn’t have brought that up. Now I want you dead!" the Mingde Saint Envoy said coldly. "My daughter is destined to be the Pope’s consort once he awakens. How dare you defile her!" As he spoke, a murderous aura erupted around him. A stream of power shot from his hand, hurtling toward Ye Fan.

"Father, don’t!" Scarlett cried, jumping in front of Ye Fan. But Ye Fan’s strength was overwhelming. He instantly shattered the Mingde Saint Envoy’s attack, terrifying Scarlett.

Ye Fan said, "Marrying your daughter to the Pope is no different than pushing her into a pit of fire!"

"Marrying the Pope is a supre honor! How could that be a pit of fire? Boy, you have destroyed the hopes of the Mingde Family!" the Mingde Saint Envoy rebuked.

Ye Fan replied, "We can put that aside for now. I didn’t co here to discuss that."

"Then what are you here for?" the Mingde Saint Envoy demanded.

Ye Fan stated, "The Holy Clan has always been tyrannical, bullying our Divine Land. I have already killed the Fire Cloud Saint Envoy. I hope you will not interfere in the contest between myself and the Pope!"

The Mingde Saint Envoy was shocked. So, Ye Fan truly was responsible for the Fire Cloud Saint Envoy’s death.

He retorted, "Do you think you’re worthy of challenging the Pope?"

"Perhaps not right now, but I still have ti," Ye Fan replied instantly.

"Hmph! The Pope is about to awaken. That will be the day of your doom!" the Mingde Saint Envoy said with disdain.

But Ye Fan countered, "I have an eighty percent chance of success!"

"The Pope is not soone you can stand against," the Mingde Saint Envoy rebuked. "Your only path to survival is to submit to him. Only then might he not hold your affair with Scarlett against you!"

"I will not submit to anyone!" Ye Fan stated firmly. "This is the only reason I ca today. Please agree. Otherwise, I truly don’t know how I can face you after this."

In his view, getting the Mingde Saint Envoy’s help is impossible, but convincing him to stay out of it should be achievable.

"Father, please just agree to his request!" Scarlett pleaded with the Mingde Saint Envoy.

Because of her history with Ye Fan, the Pope would certainly not spare their family once he awakened. He has to agree now.

To that end, she and Ye Fan pleaded with the Mingde Saint Envoy together.

After a long, conflicted silence, the Mingde Saint Envoy finally sighed. "Fine, I will not get involved. But if you lose to the Pope, I expect you not to drag my daughter and the entire Mingde bloodline down to be buried with you."

Ye Fan was overjoyed. It seed the Mingde Saint Envoy had also considered the key issue: his relationship with Scarlett left him with no other choice. He was pleased to have at least succeeded in persuading him.

But then he added, "Excellent. However, I need you to do one more thing for ."

"What is it?" the Mingde Saint Envoy asked.

Ye Fan said, "Help

lure out two of the other Saint Envoys."

"You want to kill them?" The Mingde Saint Envoy was startled.

Ye Fan replied, "That’s right. Kill them, then fight the Pope!"

Needless to say, his audacious plan gave both Scarlett and the Mingde Saint Envoy quite a shock.

The Mingde Saint Envoy said, "Fine, I agree!"

Ye Fan expressed his gratitude, and they agreed that he would return in three days to take the heads of the two Saint Envoys.

After he t with Heather, she asked him, "How did your negotiations go?"

Ye Fan said, "Perfectly. The Mingde Saint Envoy agreed to help !"

"He agreed so easily? Don’t forget, he’s a man of the European Church Court. You should take his words with a grain of salt," Heather cautioned.

Ye Fan laughed. "I’m sure his offer is genuine. He has no room to maneuver anymore. If he doesn’t help , he’ll die a miserable death! It’s not that I would kill him, but the Pope would. He’s in the sa boat as us now."

At this, Heather just said, "Be very careful."

Ye Fan was confident. The Mingde Saint Envoy has to help . I just need to wait three days before heading to his domain.

「...」

anwhile, after Ye Fan left, the Bright Angel asked, "Saint Envoy, are you really going to help that boy?"

The Mingde Saint Envoy replied, "I’m not certain myself. Right now, my priority is preserving the strength of the Mingde Family. That is what’s most important!"

"I don’t have a good feeling about this," the Bright Angel said. "Indeed. How could that boy possibly challenge the Pope? He has neither the qualifications nor the power!"

"Exactly. I only agreed to placate him for the mont," the Mingde Saint Envoy said. "Now, I have a plan that resolves the situation perfectly."

The Bright Angel looked at the Mingde Saint Envoy, puzzled. To him, it seed his master had been pushed into a very awkward position.

Just then, the Mingde Saint Envoy said, "What if I proactively confess this entire matter to the Pope and eliminate that brat? Do you think the Pope would forgive ?"

The Bright Angel was shocked. He said, "The Pope has great trust in you, Master. You are one of his most important and capable aides! If you do this, not only will the Pope not punish you, he will undoubtedly hold you in even higher esteem!"

The Bright Angel’s analysis was sound. In that instant, the Mingde Saint Envoy changed his mind completely. He said to the Bright Angel, "Very well. We’ll proceed according to this new plan! Since that brat is courting death, I’ll make sure he never leaves this place alive. Go inform the other two Saint Envoys. Tell them to expect an unforeseen surprise!"

"Yes, Master!" The Bright Angel was about to leave, but the Mingde Saint Envoy stopped him. "Wait!"

"What is it, Master?" The Bright Angel looked at him, confused.

The Mingde Saint Envoy said, "First, bring Miss Scarlett to ."

"Yes, Master." Soon, the Bright Angel had brought Scarlett over before leaving to contact the other two Saint Envoys.

Scarlett, confused, asked the Mingde Saint Envoy, "Father, why did you call for ?"

The Mingde Saint Envoy said, "Scarlett, you’re a grown woman now. You know our family’s situation. That last incident with you nearly brought ruin upon us! You were too reckless. Your relationship with that boy nearly destroyed our entire family!"

"I know," Scarlett replied, not arguing. She quietly accepted the bla. It was indeed her fault, but she resented her father for placing the weight of the entire family on her shoulders.

Then, the Mingde Saint Envoy said, "Now, I have devised a way to redy the situation."

"Father, don’t worry," Scarlett said, secretly delighted. "Although the King of Heaven isn’t that strong yet, as long as you help him, he can create miracles that will leave even you speechless! This ti, your alliance will surely be able to overthrow the Pope!"

This was the outco she and Ye Fan had worked for together, and she was overjoyed.

But the Mingde Saint Envoy said, "No. The plan I’ve made is not that one."

"Then what is your plan, Father?" Scarlett asked curiously. She was eager to learn what kind of strategy her resourceful father had co up with.

The Mingde Saint Envoy explained, "The plan is simple: I will kill that boy and then proactively confess to the Pope. He will certainly not make things difficult for !"

Instantly, Scarlett was stunned. This was not at all what they had discussed earlier.
