Chapter 972 Radical Devotees
Just as Lin Wuming was finishing his "summary meeting," a similar meeting was taking place in a conference room in the Papal States on the other side of the world.

However, compared to the relaxed atmosphere in Academy City, the atmosphere in the Roman Catholic Church was more like a "review meeting" or "accountability meeting," and the atmosphere was much more tense.

After all, they lost this round of operations.

Although Academy City hasn't caught them in any real way, for the two sides that have already reached a state of "hostility," many things don't require evidence.

This round of actions has thoroughly alerted the enemy, and now the Roman Catholic Church will have to bear the consequences of Academy City's retaliation.

"So, this is the good idea you came up with?"

In a meeting room deep inside the church, the only woman present made no attempt to conceal her attitude, mocking the only man standing in the room.

"Besides exposing those useless idiots ahead of time and incidentally helping Academy City conduct a total mobilization, what other gains were made?"

As the woman spoke, she slapped the table: "Oh right, we also wasted a lot of money and informants, but these losses are minor. Anyway, our orthodox church is powerful enough not to care about such things—right, Your Excellency?"

Pya Oji Pusoni kept his eyes down, trying his best to ignore the woman's words.

Frankly, this is quite a challenging task. As a powerful bishop, Piagore is a true high-ranking figure in the church. He usually reprimands others, never the one being reprimanded. Moreover, he is a very young bishop with a promising future, and it's not impossible that he could one day challenge for the position of pope.

However, even the most promising bishop could only feel helpless when faced with this "strange" woman.

That's right, one can only feel helpless, and cannot generate other negative emotions, especially hostility or disgust.

Otherwise, for a bishop to be defeated by a "divine punishment spell"—from any perspective, such news would not benefit him in the slightest if it were to spread.

It was only after the defeat of the Rear Water and its abduction by the Anglican Church that bishops like Piagogi truly confirmed the existence of the "Right Seat of God."

Then, in the conference room, sitting at the table with His Holiness the Pope—no, judging by the seating arrangement, are these three members of the "Right Seat of God" even more noble than His Holiness the Pope?

The criticism from ahead made Piaget more vigilant. He tried his best to remain calm while thinking about how to explain himself.

As time passed, news of events in Academy City on the other side of Earth reached the Papal States.

Putting everything else aside, at least the world has heard of the name "Lin Wuming"—a rising star in Academy City.

Ironically, this rising star rose to power by stepping on the Roman Catholic Church.

The large-scale riot that swept through Academy City yesterday was quickly suppressed and quelled. The one who directed the entire operation was Lin Wuming.

Conversely, on the Roman Catholic side, the person behind the "great riot" was Bishop Piagopouni.

That's why he's standing here to be questioned right now.

From any perspective, Piaget's strategy failed. Not only did it fail to harm Academy City, it also became a stepping stone for Lin Wuming to gain fame and fortune, served as a wake-up call for them, and gave Academy City an excuse to retaliate.

Frankly, the situation had deteriorated to such an extent that even Piaggio himself felt it was terrible, and it wasn't surprising that he was being punished. The reason he was still standing there unharmed, only receiving a few reprimands and complaints from the wind ahead, was because someone in the "Right Seat of God" supported him.

The land on the left, with similar stances to Piah Oj, consists of extreme and radical Christian believers.

Because of their similar views, the people on the left were able to understand Piah Oji's ideas.

“Don’t be so harsh,” said the Left Side, pouring himself a glass of wine, his voice slightly tipsy. “I think Bishop Piagogi did a pretty good job. After all, we didn’t really suffer any losses, did we? Those who were exposed and arrested this time weren’t followers of our orthodox church, and it did cause some unrest in Academy City… In terms of the outcome, isn’t this a good thing?”

For the Left Side, as long as they can cause trouble for Academy City, that's all that matters; as for the price to pay...

As long as no Christian believers are harmed as a result, it can be considered "without cost".

Seeing that he had the support of a "right seat of God," Pia Ogi felt more confident and relaxed; he was no longer nervous when facing the wind ahead.

The last seat of the "Right Seat of God," the red-haired man sitting to the right of the Pope, remained completely indifferent, staring at the book in his hands and showing no reaction to the conversation unfolding before him.

As for the Pope himself, his presence in the room seemed to be completely overshadowed by the "Right Seat of God," and he remained silent throughout, simply listening attentively.

This scene further confirmed Piaget's suspicions—the authority of the "Right Seat of God" was indeed as legendary as it was said, even surpassing that of His Holiness the Pope!
Overall, the situation is in my favor.

After analyzing the situation, Piahioji felt much more at ease.

Before attending this meeting, Bishop Piagogi's biggest concern was actually the Pope's opposition.

As is well known, the supreme leader of the Roman Catholic Church is a moderate... well, now it should be said that he is the "theoretical supreme leader".

But at least for bishops like Piago, the Pope's attitude and words have absolute authority.

He knew very well that his intentions and plans would most likely not be approved by the Pope.

But now...

The legendary figure known as "God's Right Seat" appeared before him, and after getting to know them, Bishop Piagogi discovered that these people were truly pure and devout believers.

—Just like themselves, they would not harm the interests of Christian believers for the sake of "others".

In short, the "Right Seat of God," like Bishop Piagogi, is an extreme radical within the sect!

Despite the woman in front of him constantly finding fault and treating him very badly, her anger stemmed not from what he had done, but from the fact that he hadn't done it thoroughly enough and hadn't achieved the desired effect.

In other words—not radical enough!
From this perspective, the winds ahead are undoubtedly on their side.
