"It's not as serious as you think!" In response to Marguerite's question, Elena shook her head and continued to explain.
"Although the higher-ups aren't very satisfied with Cristante's current work, they don't intend to replace him immediately. Letting Lena become Cristante's assistant in Blake's Agency is just a warning from the higher-ups to let him do his job well. Otherwise, they'll let Lena replace him. At least in the short term, Cristante won't be in any danger."
Elena paused for a moment and looked at Marguerite meaningfully. She then said in a low voice, "As for me going to Flosinone to replace Cristante as the overall commander, although the higher-ups aren't satisfied with Cristante's recent work, it's more because the situation in Flosinone is slowly developing according to plan …"
Hearing the last few words of Elena's words, Marguerite was stunned at first. Then, she seemed to have thought of something and immediately reacted. She looked at Elena in the water screen with some surprise.
Facing Marguerite's gaze, Elena sighed slightly and said helplessly, "Although Cristante's recent work hasn't satisfied the higher-ups, I have to admit that as the intelligence director of Blake's Agency, he has a very accurate prediction of the future situation!"
"Although the Church still doesn't know where the secret society's professor Reyes is now, ever since we got the news that Bisping and Southgate are in Flosinone, we've done some analysis through other channels. Basically, we can confirm that Bisping and Southgate are lurking in Flosinone to act as the vanguard for Reyes. Reyes will come to Flosinone in half a month if he's slow!" Elena said with some certainty.
Although she had vaguely guessed that this would be the answer from Elena's words, Marguerite still had mixed feelings when she received confirmation from Elena. Connor and Firo's plan to explore the ruins related to Reyes was proposed by Cristante and led by Hummel.
At first, this plan involved the assistance of the two dark Magi, Connor and Firo. Therefore, not only did it not receive much support from the Church of the Storm, which had always been rather tough on the issue of dark Magi, many conservative elders of the Church of the Storm even questioned whether the plan itself went against the principles of the Church when it came to dark Magi.
Therefore, the reason why Connor and the others were able to carry out their operation was all because of Hummel, a Cardinal, using his great courage and forceful methods to overturn the objections of the masses in the Church of the Lord of Storms. Only then could they forcefully carry out the operation.
Previously, Connor and Firo had searched around Flosinone but did not find anything. Furthermore, Firo had rebelled once again. This led to the decision maker of this plan, Cardinal Hummel, as well as the specific executor of the plan, Cristante of the Blake Organization, to bear a lot of pressure in the Church of the Storm. Cristante had even received a warning from the higher-ups.
Although the current plan still did not find the target of the plan, which was the possible ruins, they had discovered that Bisping and Southgate, the two main subordinates of Reyes, were hiding in Flosinone. Furthermore, they could determine that Reyes would arrive in Flosinone soon. This proved that Hummel and Cristante's plan was correct, and they had already achieved a partial victory.
In the Church of the Storm, Cardinal Hummel's power was flourishing. He had obtained the support of two powerful departments, including the Arbitrator Organization and the Blake Organization. It seemed that his foundation to become the next Pope of the Church of the Storm was as stable as Mount Tai. However, a tall tree attracts the wind, and his domineering personality had violated the interests of many people. Regardless of whether it was inside or outside the Church of the Storm, Hummel had a large number of opponents.
Perhaps it was because of the mentality that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", some of the opponents of Hummel in the Church of the Storm began to choose to support other candidates for the position of the next Pope in an attempt to resist Hummel.
And Margaret's greatest backer in the Church of the Lord of Storms, Arch-Cardinal Elena, was one of the candidates for the next pontiff of the Church of the Lord of Storms. It could even be said that in the Church of the Lord of Storms, she was the person most likely to become the next pontiff, second only to the big boss, Hummel.
Therefore, as Elena's confidante, Marguerite naturally did not wish for Hummel's plan to succeed. This was because Hummel was already the next Pope of the Church of the Storm and the most powerful successor. If his plan succeeded this time and got rid of the Secret Society's Professor Reyes, it would undoubtedly be greatly strengthened. Cardinal Hummel's prestige in the Church of the Storm would make the other candidates, including Elena, who were already in a weak position in the competition, unable to catch up.
Looking at Hummel's plan from the perspective of Elena's confidante, Marguerite naturally did not wish for his plan to succeed. However, looking at Hummel's plan from the perspective of Connor's girlfriend, Marguerite faintly hoped that Hummel's plan would succeed, because that would mean that as Reyes's student, Connor would no longer have to face the huge threat of his mentor, and his safety would be greatly guaranteed.
In addition, Connor might be able to use this credit in exchange for the Church of the Storm's tacit approval. In the future, he would no longer have to hide like the other Dark Wizards, not daring to expose their identities under the sun. In that case, Marguerite would no longer have to spend less time with Connor, and the two of them would naturally spend more time together.
It was precisely because of this that Marguerite's view of Hummel's plan was always very complicated, and she was also very conflicted …
Elena, who was in the water screen, did not know what Marguerite's confidante was thinking. When she saw that Marguerite's gaze was complicated and somewhat absent-minded, she thought that Marguerite was worried about her safety after hearing that Reyes, a famous Level 2 Wizard in the Wizard World, was coming to Flosinone, so she could not help but show a faint smile on her face. Then, with a thought, a powerful pressure emerged from her in the water screen in the next second.
