Chapter 1808: Pope

Even a person like An'er has to back down when facing the Pope; if an ordinary person were to fall into their hands, would there still be any way to survive?

"Yes, the religious atmosphere in our place is too thick," Eve said. "Sometimes they are above the law; ordinary people simply cannot understand how high and mighty the power in their hands is."

"They are walking toward destruction step by step. Rest assured, these people will eventually be reaped by Heaven," Chen Yu smiled faintly. "It's just that the one to reap them hasn't arrived yet."

"Are you an honored guest of my father?" Eve looked at Chen Yu curiously.

"You could say that; I cured his illness," Chen Yu nodded.

"Heavens, you cured my father's terminal illness?" Eve was both shocked and delighted.

"Yes, if nothing goes wrong, he will be exactly the same as a healthy person from now on," Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"You must have been sent by Heaven to save my father," Eve looked at Chen Yu earnestly.

"Perhaps you haven't realized yet that I was sent by Heaven to save you," Chen Yu said solemnly.

"Save me?" Eve raised her head in surprise, a glimmer of light shining in her deep blue eyes.

"You were not originally of the Blood Clan; you can be restored to a normal human," Chen Yu said faintly. "You should know this, right?"

"I know, but the difficulty is too great; simply no one can do it," Eve sighed slightly. "The Blood Clan member who gave me the Embrace is a Prince."

"It can be said that he is the highest rank among the Blood Clan, second only to the Royal Family, and the Royal Family has not appeared for thousands of years."

"A Prince, his strength is indeed strong," Chen Yu nodded with deep empathy. "There aren't many of these things left in the world. If he were to appear, it would be a devastating catastrophe."

"Yes, if you want to restore me to normal, you have to kill that Prince, crush his heart, and take a drop of blood from his heart for me to consume."

"But hunting a Blood Clan Prince—even the Pope would have to be cautious. Unless their Bishops come forward, it is simply impossible."

"Perhaps my strength is on par with a Prince," Chen Yu smiled faintly. "So, do you think I can save you?"

"You... are you telling the truth?" Eve was startled; she raised her head to look at Chen Yu in disbelief.

Seeing Chen Yu's solemn expression, it didn't seem like he was joking with her.

"Of course I'm not joking. Your soul is pure; you shouldn't have had to suffer like this," Chen Yu said. "Since I possess this ability, I bear the responsibility of saving all living beings."

"So saving you is also my responsibility, to let you escape this sea of suffering."

"Thank you, but this is really too risky," Eve shook her head. "What's more, he is currently inside the Castle of the Blood Clan on the Endless Coast. That place is isolated from the world, and it holds the three thousand Blood Clan members remaining in the Western World."

"That place is a spot even the Pope dares not step into easily; even the Supreme Pontiff dares not go there alone."

"That's strange. Those religious fanatics of the Pope have always been very exclusionary. They cannot tolerate a single grain of sand in their eyes; they want to burn anyone with different beliefs to death. Yet, they actually allow the existence of Dark Creatures, who are their mortal enemies," Chen Yu felt somewhat bewildered.

He felt there must be a problem here, but he didn't know where the problem lay. Could it be that the Prince's strength had reached a point where even the Pope was wary?

"A Prince can be said to be the most powerful Blood Clan member existing in this world. The Pope has not left the Vatican State for sixty years, and the experts among the Pope's ranks are not enough to deal with a Prince."

Eve raised her head and said, "And most importantly, the three thousand Blood Clan members on the Endless Coast are all extraordinary. They seem to have an agreement with the Pope."

"What agreement?" Chen Yu asked.

"It is that as long as the Blood Clan does not leave the Endless Coast on a large scale, the Pope must not set foot on the Endless Coast."

"Do these bastards have some kind of interest with the Blood Clan?" This was Chen Yu's first reaction.

Yes, all religions in the world are like this, especially the Pope. In their eyes, the name of the Lord is above all else, and there is no lack of people who use their name to commit evil deeds.

Therefore, Chen Yu believed that the reason the Pope could live in peace with the Blood Clan must be because there was some relationship between the two sides.

Thus, Chen Yu did not believe that there was no exchange of interests between these guys and the Blood Clan.

"These are not things we ordinary people can know," Eve shook her head slightly. "I only know that the Pope's people come to our place from time to time. They seem to know of my existence, but they don't expose it."

"Every time they come, do they take away many benefits from your father?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes," Eve's expression was dejected. "It's all my fault. If it weren't for my willfulness and easily trusting others, I wouldn't have become a member of the Blood Clan, and my father wouldn't be threatened by those people."

"This isn't your fault," Chen Yu waved his hand and said. "You were just a little girl. But what I'm curious about is, a Blood Clan Prince is high and mighty; he doesn't need to come out to forage for food himself, right?"

"Then why did you fall into his trap? Have you not thought about the reason for this?"

"This..." Eve was startled, and her expression immediately became serious.

That's right, a Blood Clan Prince is high and mighty because he feels he has a noble lineage.

Even the man she met that night was holding onto his airs, with an air of extreme superiority.

Did he come specifically for her?

Thinking of this, Eve's expression changed slightly; she seemed to have fallen into someone's trap.

Both her father and she had been plotted against, and the person plotting against them was already becoming obvious.

"Did you think of something?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes, perhaps you are right. My father and I have been plotted against," Eve sighed.

"Your father's influence is great, and he currently does not collude with the other two Commanders," Chen Yu said. "This invisibly touched upon the interests of certain people."

"Since he touched upon their interests, then someone would definitely try every means to get rid of him. But some people felt that controlling him was more effective than getting rid of him, so you became the sacrifice."

Chen Yu said, "There must be some connection between the Blood Clan, the Pope, and the other two Commanders. In the current world, if you don't collude with them, then the one who is isolated is you."

"I understand," Eve's expression appeared somewhat bitter. "But what can be done? I cannot change anything."

"The Prince who took your Embrace—do you hate him?" Chen Yu asked.

"Hate, of course I hate him. It was he who made it impossible for me to live the life of a normal person, and it was he who deceived me, causing both me and my father to fall into a passive position. I hate him," a trace of anger appeared on Eve's face.
