Chapter 703: Trump Card
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The structure of the academy’s business was ing up very soon in the schedule; Benjamin gave Varys and his men the go ahead to start working on this matter. However, he had not forgotten what the initial purpose of this was.
As time passed, there was finally a response from the Kingdom of Helius.
"The Church has ordered a strict restriction of people entering and leaving the country." The spies reported through the wood transmission piece, "This has led to the dissatisfaction of some, but basically it is still under control, it hasn’t created a huge backlash."
"Good. You guys, continue your investigations. When there’s a situation, report back to me."
After responding, Benjamin kept the wood piece away, nodding.
Actually, after the Church had tightened the security checks on people going in and out of the country, in the end, there were still merchants sneaking out from the Kingdom of Helius and visiting them at the academy. If one had money, one could make the devil push a milestone; a simple restriction decree like that would not be able to control these rich people.
From another perspective, this meant that the Church was not yet provoked enough, and they were still going about their business in a proper manner.
Benjamin really wanted to go over now and ask the Fulner family if they had a way to force Grant into panicking, so that Grant would start making some rash decisions. The goal of those people was to cause an internal ruckus in the Church, and now it looked like it was not enough to rely on just the paper statement of the Academy of Magic.
He was afraid, they had to e up with some hot gossip now...
Just as he was pondering, the Fulner family had covertly sent over a secret letter.
"We are extremely grateful to the statement you released, sir. All thanks to you, the calm surface of the lake is once again rippling. There is an undercurrent of unrest inside the Church now, and we have prepared our final trump card. Once we play it, we will be able to break the calm on this surface, and cause the sinful one to fall from the skies, descending into an endless abyss."
After he had finished reading, Benjamin furrowed his eyebrows.
The final trump card...
The Fulner family did not make it clear in the letter, forcing him to be somewhat concerned. To overthrow an officially installed pope was not an easy task; although Grant had many flaws, there had never been a successful instance of such a mission.
What trump card did they have?
Out of curiosity, Benjamin posed the question in his reply letter. However, he did not have high hopes; the Fulner family was very likely to seal their lips shut to keep the secret, and Benjamin would understand it too.
To be honest, he did not need to worry about the issues in the Kingdom of Helius anymore. Even if the Fulner family failed, the impact on the Academy of Magic would be insignificant. Furthermore, the plan had developed to this stage, so there was nothing Benjamin could do anymore.
But... He could not help but still feel somewhat wary.
If the Fulner family really succeeded, what would the Kingdom of Helius turn into? What would happen to Grant?
In all fairness, Benjamin did not wish death upon Grant. He had more hope that it would turn out to be an ending like the ones in kung fu novels, such as "deprived of his power
