Chapter 1291 I have already sent them to see the beloved Lord.
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Athena ran in crying, throwing herself into Zuo Wenbin's arms. Everyone gasped.
Zuo Wenbin held Athena in his arms, his trembling hands stroking his daughter's hair and face. Realizing this wasn't a dream, he finally broke down in tears, holding his daughter close.
Sophia and Edward rushed over and hugged Athena, both surprised and delighted.
Zuo Mingyue stood up, supporting her belly. She didn't look at Athena, but smiled at the young man leaning against the door frame. The boy's childishness had completely faded, and his two small mustaches represented his maturity.
Zuo Mingyue walked over gently, nestled into the young man's arms, closed her eyes contentedly, and inhaled his scent.
Da Bao stretched out his arms and hugged his wife tightly...
After the initial surprise subsided and everyone sat down, Arthur asked anxiously.
"Charlotte, who kidnapped Athena?"
Da Bao, with his arm around Zuo Mingyue, said casually,
"It was an Albanian. Their leader, entrusted by the Black Widow, had been keeping an eye on Athena's movements these past few days. Today, he finally found an opportunity and made his move."
"An Albanian? A Black Widow?"
Sofia and Susanna were not aristocratic women who never left their homes; both of them had inheritance rights, so they were very familiar with everything in France.
Since you live in Paris, you should at least know something about these gangs, even if you don't have any direct contact with them.
"Aren't they a gang? Are they specifically targeting Athena, or are they just kidnapping any girl they can find?"
Da Bao glanced at Princess Sofia and decided to tell the truth, otherwise, there was no guarantee that such a thing would not happen again in the future.
"It's Archbishop John of Notre Dame. He's Black Widow's backer. After he met Athena, he decided to capture her and hand her over to Cardinal Drenza."
"what?"
Sophia stood up in surprise, staring intently at Da Bao. She was a Catholic and often took her children to Mass. Father John had confessed to her before, and in her memory, Father John was a gentle and kind man. How could such a person do such a thing?
Athena was a very strong child, like a goddess of war, and she nodded vigorously.
"Yes, Mommy, that's what Father John told me, that I should serve the Lord's servant well."
Sofia's face turned pale immediately, and she slumped heavily onto the sofa. After a long while, she gritted her teeth and said...
"No, this matter absolutely cannot be left like this. I'm going to Notre Dame Cathedral to ask him, and then I'll ask the Vatican. Is this how they treat the children of God?"
Although Princess Sofia belongs to a fallen royal family, she still wields considerable influence in France. If even the daughter of such a powerful figure cannot be guaranteed safety, one can only imagine the despicable things John and his associates have done over the years.
Once Princess Sofia confronts the Papacy with evidence, the Papacy will have to explain its actions; otherwise, the nobility throughout Europe will refuse to donate to the Papacy, which would be fatal.
I believe the Pope would not risk losing the patronage of these nobles for the sake of an archbishop and a cardinal.
Da Bao said slowly and deliberately.
“Princess, there’s no need to look for John anymore. I’ve already sent John, Drenza, and those knights to see their beloved lord.”
Princess Sofia's face was full of shock. In her heart, the Lord's position was supreme, and his servants, especially the cardinals, were the most powerful people in all of Europe. According to Da Bao, Archbishop John, Cardinal Drenza, and several royal knights had all been killed by him.
Princess Sofia slapped her forehead. This was bad. The Vatican wouldn't let Da Bao off the hook. She stood up to find her hat and shawl.
“No, I have to go to Notre Dame. Since Father John dared to take my daughter, I will tell them that I accidentally killed them when I sent people to rescue her.”
Da Bao said lazily.
"Don't go to Notre Dame either. I think such a dirty place needs to be cleansed, and it should still be being cleaned up now."
"What? Clean, purification?"
Princess Sofia and Susanna rushed to the French windows and looked towards Notre Dame Cathedral. They saw the cathedral engulfed in flames and billowing black smoke, its towering spire teetering on the verge of collapse.
"Susanna murmured."
"This isn't purification; it's clearly cremation! What a terrifying man! Is there anything in this world he wouldn't dare to do?"
Susanna made the sign of the cross on her forehead, lips, and chest. She didn't dare turn her head to look at Da Bao. In her heart, this kind of man was a high and mighty demon.
Sofia slumped back to the sofa and sat down, trying to calm herself down. This matter had blown up too much and was probably going to be difficult to handle.
In fact, it would be a joke to say that high-ranking nobles like Sophia and Arthur were so enamored with the Virgin Mary and Jesus, because only they knew how dirty and filthy the so-called Papacy was.
They merely use God as a fig leaf so that they can do bad things in the name of the Lord. So, Sophia's immediate thought is how to deal with the Vatican's retaliation.
Arthur said nonchalantly,
"Let it burn. The dilapidated house was built over a hundred years ago, and countless lives have been lost inside. By the way, Charlotte, you won't let that Black Widow and the Albanian get away with it, will you?"
Da Bao rolled his eyes and thought for a moment.
"I destroyed Albania's stronghold in Block 91. I guess there are no survivors. As for Black Widow, I blew up her, her guards, and the casino. I guess those who survived are missing limbs."
Before Arthur could speak, a scream suddenly rang out from the corner, startling everyone, even Nuannuan, who was sleeping soundly in the suite, opened her eyes.
Everyone turned to look, and saw the prostitute rushing over, holding her daughter and crying. Everyone had been so happy about Athena's return that they had completely forgotten about the mother and daughter in the corner.
The prostitute, holding her daughter, knelt before Da Bao, crying as she asked.
"You mean, all the Albanian gangs are dead?"
Da Bao quickly leaned forward, helped her up, and said softly.
"I'm sorry, I was so happy just now that I forgot about you. I killed all the Albanian gangs, including their leader."
The prostitute was trembling with sobs when her daughter opened her eyes and immediately hugged her neck.
“These beasts are finally dead, all of them are dead. They killed my parents, my husband, and my son. Now they’ve finally gotten their comeuppance.”
