"Auntie Fali, I'm back."
Fali went up and hugged Xin Li. "Welcome home."
A group of children sprinted to Xin Li.
They all warmly welcomed Xin Li back.
Everyone was very happy. After all, Xin Li had been away for more than two months.
"It's good that you're back. If someone's missing at Christmas, it'll feel like something's missing." Fali touched Xin Li's hair. "Xin Li, you've grown taller, haven't you?"
Two months ago, Xin Li still looked like a big kid.
But after two months, Xin Li's face looked more weathered, and there was a hint of seriousness between her brows. She seemed to have matured quite a bit.
At night, everyone held a banquet for Xin Li.
Chen Zhao booked the entire restaurant.
To be honest, two months didn't seem like a long time.
But Chen Zhao and Fali both felt that Xin Li was different.
She'd really grown up.
She could still play with her siblings, but her gaze was completely different.
In the past, she'd played with her siblings, but she was actually playing herself too.
Now, playing was actually companionship.
At the dining table, she knew how to put food on her siblings' plates.
When she saw her siblings' food fall on their clothes, she also knew how to help them clean up.
After returning to the hotel, Chen Zhao realized that the atmosphere was a bit strange.
When they passed through the hotel lobby, the hotel staff were all standing straight and ready for battle.
Chen Zhao was a bit surprised. They didn't look at him with caution or hostility.
But their gazes were too strange.
Just then, a priest in a white robe walked over.
"Hello, you must be Mr. Chen."
"I am. And you are?"
"We're His Majesty John's followers. His Majesty wants to see you."
Old John had sent them?
Why would he want to see him?
"Where? When? "
"Now. If it's convenient, please come with me."
Chen Zhao turned back and looked at his family.
Fali nodded. "Go."
"Take care of the kids."
"Okay."
Chen Zhao left with the people from the church.
No wonder the people in the hotel looked at him differently.
Although the Vatican was only a religious country, it had the highest status here.
For westerners, this was a holy place.
The pope was God's messenger.
Chen Zhao was a non-believer.
Even though Chen Zhao had come into contact with many supernatural events.
Superhumans, demons, angels, gods, and even mutants.
But Chen Zhao still had no faith.
In fact, Chen Zhao still believed that gods were just more powerful humans.
Even other supernatural species were just a step ahead in evolution.
This kind of thinking was typical of people who had no belief in God.
Of course, he wouldn't deny the significance of religion.
In this era, religion had changed from the initial worship to spiritual guidance.
God was no longer an omnipotent and supreme being in religion.
God is the spiritual sustenance of man.
The car stopped in front of a church in the Vatican.
Compared to the St. Peter's Cathedral that he had visited last time, this church was much more ordinary.
A soft light shone from the church windows.
Under the priest's guidance, Chen Zhao walked into the church.
Old John was kneeling in front of the cross, praying and chanting the Bible.
"Please wait a moment. His Majesty is in the middle of a lesson."
Chen Zhao nodded and sat on the seat next to him.
A few minutes later, Old John's prayer ended.
The etiquette of the Church was quite complicated.
After that, Old John had to wash his hands.
After a series of steps, Old John finally walked up to Chen Zhao.
"Mr. Chen, hello."
"Hello, Your Majesty." Chen Zhao had a very good impression of Old John.
He was even better than Zhang Tianyi.
However, Chen Zhao would be friends with Zhang Tianyi, but not Old John.
Because Old John was hard to get close to.
It wasn't because of his status.
It was because of Old John's personality.
It was as if everyone standing before him would feel like they were bad people.
The old man rejected all evil. Those who interacted with him could see all the human virtues in him.
They could also discover all the evils in themselves.
So, he could be a senior, a teacher, or a guide.
But they definitely couldn't be friends.
"Mr. Chen, I suddenly realized that you're lying to me."
"Uh … I don't understand," Chen Zhao replied, playing dumb. He just didn't want to admit it.
"Kemore Deacon is dead."
"So what?"
"Nothing. He deserved to die because I once made a prophecy for him that he wouldn't live past this year. But I realized that you killed him."
"Uh … How did you realize?" Chen Zhao looked at Old John in surprise.
"He lost the bet," Old John said. "Now, his power is in you."
"Do you know his power?"
"Yes, I do."
"But you've never stopped him."
"I did, but you didn't know. He died under his own power. In your Easterners' words, it's called karma."
"So, Your Majesty, did you call me here today to denounce me?"
"No, I won't take revenge for anyone, especially Kemore Deacon."
"Then why did you call me here today?"
"Let's chat and confirm our guesses."
"Then you're sure, right?"
"Yes, I'm sure." Old John nodded.
Chen Zhao stared at Old John. He had a feeling that Old John definitely didn't call him here just to confirm this.
There had to be something else.
"Alright, there's something else. If something big happens in the world again, I hope Mr. Chen can lend a hand."
"What if I refuse? Will you punish me? "Chen Zhao asked.
"Mr. Chen, I'm not threatening you. I just want to tell you that the power you obtained from Kemore Deacon is very evil. You need to use justice to dissolve his power."
"My power doesn't just come from Kemore Deacon. There are other powers from Hell too."
"Not all the power from hell is evil. Even if it's evil power, if it's used by a righteous person, it won't be evil. I just want to tell you that some powers will cause and effect, and Kemor Deacon's power is one of those powers."
"I think the world is very peaceful and safe now. It's not that easy for something big to happen."
"This world is far more fragile and unstable than you think."
