Chapter 1934: Exchange of Interests

"It's not that I'm filled with righteousness, it's just that their affairs have affected me," Chen Yu said. "There are truly too many things in this world that need managing; it's not something I alone can handle."

"I am willing to do some things within my capabilities, but it is limited to what I am capable of doing."

"If the passage to the Dark World is truly opened by them, what will you do?" Dewen asked.

"Such a thing will not happen," Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"Mr. Chen, they are already very close to success, so if no one stops them, the possibility of them succeeding will be very high," Dewen was slightly stunned.

"I know. The reason I say they won't succeed is because I will stop them," Chen Yu laughed. "This matter has already affected me."

"If the passage to the Dark World is opened, then this world will become a complete mess. Such a beautiful world, if it were destroyed, I believe it would not be a good thing."

"Oh, Mr. Chen, that is what you mean," Dewen was immediately relieved. "I know you will not stand by and watch; the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."

"You flatter me, there are just some red lines that cannot be touched," Chen Yu said. "Destroying this world to fulfill one person with the lives of countless others? I will absolutely not accept such a method."

"Yes, my ability is limited. If I obtain the Holy Staff, then Old Ivan will lose his control over the Pope, and at that time I can carry out reforms with a free hand," Dewen said.

"How will you reform with a free hand?" Chen Yu asked. "You understand human nature; when those people discover that hunting Dark Creatures makes power come very easily, they will no longer sincerely believe in God."

"After all, your Lord has not given them a response for a long time. Will they accept your reforms?"

"The reform I speak of is to kill a batch and rectify the entire atmosphere of the Pope. I demand that if they want to obtain power, they must acquire it properly, rather than filling the void with human lives." A hint of ruthlessness radiated from Dewen's benevolent expression.

"If you have such an attitude, then it is worth it to seize this Holy Staff," Chen Yu nodded slightly, and he laughed. "In extraordinary times, one must be decisive in killing."

"If you harbor a heart of benevolence toward those people and attempt to use the Bible to reform them, then I advise you not to try, because they have long since yearned for darkness and cannot be reformed at all."

"Therefore, fists are the hard truth."

"Mr. Chen, with my strength, wanting to seize the Scepter is likely a bit difficult," Dewen finally stated his thoughts and purpose.

"Hmm, so you want to ask me for a favor, to take action and seize the Holy Staff for you?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes, although Old Ivan has already been bewitched by Satan, his strength remains, and he has many confidants, so I would like to ask Mr. Chen to help me with this favor," Dewen looked at Chen Yu with a sincere face.

"Helping you is fine, but how do you plan to repay me?" Chen Yu asked.

"Repay?" Dewen's expression stalled slightly. In his view, this was a matter of saving all of humanity; did Chen Yu need repayment?

"Yes, repayment. There is never a free lunch in this world," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "I am not helping you just casually."

"But this is... saving this world," Dewen sighed. "Does this still require repayment?"

"It does, because no matter what kind of matter it is, it requires bargaining chips. I am waiting for you to figure out what the chips are," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "As long as you possess the chips, then I can go and seize the Holy Staff for you."

"At that time, if you possess the Holy Staff and the Holy Grail, Old Ivan will certainly have to give up his position, and then you will be able to control the Pope."

"This..." Dewen's brain capacity clearly could not keep up with Chen Yu's speed; he appeared somewhat in Silence.

"Alright, let's stop here for today. It was an honor to meet you, we shall meet again next time," Chen Yu stood up, smiled slightly, and then turned to leave.

Watching Chen Yu leave, Dewen revealed a look of confusion.

The reason Chen Yu left was because Tang Qing had come to find him; Tang Qing was sitting in the next room.

"Why did you disappear for so long? How was it inside the Shilaike Family?" Tang Qing stood up when she saw Chen Yu.

"Let's go, let's go out and talk," Chen Yu laughed.

Tang Qing and Chen Yu walked out together, and Chen Yu said, "The matter with the Shilaike Family has been successfully resolved, there's nothing wrong. How about you all?"

"Everything is normal, the landscape of Chinatown has already changed," Tang Qing said. "Everyone is very stable, not like before, living in fear all day long."

"That's good," Chen Yu laughed. "Did you hear our conversation just now?"

"I heard it. I know Dewen; he is a man of the Pope. He visited my grandfather before, just wanting to understand Huaxia culture," Tang Qing nodded. "I heard he has a lot of influence within the Pope."

"He indeed has a lot of influence. How could someone who can contend with Ivan be an unknown person?" Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Is what you said true? Have the people within the Pope really become this terrifying?" Tang Qing asked.

"What I said is true," Chen Yu smiled and said. "Ivan is indeed a senile old man now. He cannot obtain the power of the Lord, so he wants to turn this world into Hell, and then he will be the savior in Hell."

"Too terrifying," Tang Qing was stunned. "No wonder in recent years, all the news coming out of the Pope has been negative; it turns out they have internal problems."

"Yes, such a massive organization, controlling Theocracy, it would be very terrifying if there were internal problems," Chen Yu said.

"Is there no one to manage it?" Tang Qing frowned.

"There is. That Dewen has been changing everything happening within the Pope, but whether he can actually succeed, I do not know," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"He seems to have asked you for help," Tang Qing glanced at Chen Yu. "Do you intend to help him?"

"You mean the matter of seizing the Divine Staff?" Chen Yu nodded. "I can indeed help him. I can help him seize back the Divine Staff, but he must produce something of equal exchange."

"Why? This is a matter of saving all of humanity," Tang Qing did not understand.

She believed that Chen Yu was absolutely not doing this for those meager benefits of exchange, but she did not understand why Chen Yu had to do this.

Dewen is considered one of the more impoverished among the many Bishops of the Pope; he simply cannot produce conditions of equal value to exchange with Chen Yu.

"Because, things that are obtained too easily will make him become unrecognizable," Chen Yu laughed. "If he possesses both the Divine Staff and the Holy Grail, then his power will be beyond compare."
