Hong Kong variety show: The mastermind behind the scenes is emerging.

"...Boss, that's what happened," Tian Yangyi repeated Jackie's account over the phone, "He said he infiltrated Lubers Castle to save his friend."

"Hmm," after listening to Tian Yangyi's report, Lu Chen leaned back in his chair, picked up his teacup, and took a sip. "What's the background of this 'Apocalyptic Gospel'?"

A series of keystrokes came from the other end of the phone, followed by Tian Yangyi's voice: "According to the information we have, the Last Days Gospel Church is a cult that uses the name of salvation but acts in an extreme manner. It originated in the early Middle Ages. At that time, the Black Death and war raged in Europe, and a group of heretical monks, pagan worshippers, and exiled healers who were expelled from the orthodox church established the headquarters of the Gospel Church in a castle deep in the mountains of Greece."

"It sounds like a mutual aid organization," Lu Chen said.

"Initially, it was indeed like that, but as time went on, the organization's beliefs gradually became distorted, evolving into a fanatical worship of a fictional deity called 'The All-Knowing One.' The Gospel Church believed that the world was about to be destroyed, and that only by believing in the All-Knowing One and helping Him overthrow God's rule could the planet be saved."

"Overthrow God?" Lu Chen curled his lip in boredom. "These cults really do have a remarkably consistent goal."

"Yes, according to the doctrines of the Evangelical Fellowship, the five 'Armors of God' left in the world are the foundation for maintaining the old world order. Only by destroying them all can Raghu's power truly descend upon the world. Therefore, for hundreds of years, this organization has been searching, collecting, and destroying various things called 'holy relics' all over the world. The iron sword that Jackie obtained is one of them."

"..." Lu Chen leaned back in his chair without speaking. Actually, he had recognized it halfway through Tian Yangyi's story. Wasn't this the plot of "Armour of God"? As a Hong Kong film enthusiast, he had a vivid memory of this movie, except that the kidnapping target was changed to Alan.

"How large is this organization now?"

"The Evangelical Fellowship is based in Greece, and its sphere of influence mainly covers the Balkan Peninsula and the eastern Mediterranean coast. Unlike traditional gangs that make their fortunes through protection money or arms smuggling, they primarily rely on drug trafficking for their income—they have a very secretive drug smuggling route between Europe and the Middle East, which is quite profitable and enough to support their daily expenses."

"Furthermore, my intelligence indicates that someone in the organization's upper echelons is an expert in ancient pharmacology and has developed something called a 'sedative.' Just a small injection can completely strip away a person's self-awareness, turning them into an obedient puppet."

"...That sounds pretty eerie," Lu Chen said calmly, turning to look at the sea of ​​clouds outside the window. "But what does it have to do with us?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

"Whether they're a cult or a drug trafficking organization, their activities are basically confined to Greece and the Balkans, which have nothing to do with us," Lu Chen said casually. "As long as they don't cause trouble in Hong Kong Island or take action against Golden Harvest's properties, I have no interest in cleaning up any historical issues for the Europeans."

"Alright, we don't need to get involved in this. You arrange for someone to heal Jackie's injuries, and then let him go," Lu Chen paused, then added, "Of course, if Jackie is willing to pay for you to help rescue people, you can earn some extra money that way too."

However, upon hearing Lu Chen's instructions, Tian Yangyi did not agree immediately. Instead, he hesitated and said, "Boss... actually, there might be another clue to this matter."

"explain."

"There are already some conflicts between the High Table and the Last Days Evangelical Fellowship."

Lu Chen's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Hmm?"

"As I just reported, Greece is the stronghold of the Evangelical Fellowship, and their influence in the Aegean region is deeply entrenched. The High Table has been expanding towards the Aegean in recent years, and the two sides have had several clashes over shipping, ports, and intelligence networks. Although the scale is not large, the animosity has been brewing for some time. Although Mrs. Sofia has not made a formal statement, there have been suggestions within the organization to teach this organization a lesson."

Lu Chen hummed in agreement, signaling him to continue.

"Moreover," Tian Yangyi continued, speaking a little slower, "I also heard a rumor—that the so-called 'God's Armor' is not just a religious artifact; its lining contains a piece of map pointing to the location of a secret treasure buried during the Second Crusade."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's previously nonchalant gaze sharpened slightly, returning to the sales brochure spread out on his desk.

"...Hey kid, when did you get so close to Jackie?" Lu Chen suddenly chuckled, his tone tinged with amusement.

Tian Yangyi, on the other end of the phone, remained unfazed: "Boss, you're joking. I was just doing some analysis based on the available information."

Lu Chen's lips curved slightly, but he didn't press the matter further.

It's quite interesting, actually. The eldest brother, Tian Yangsheng, and Chen Jiaju became sworn brothers, and now it seems that the second brother, Tian Yangyi, is also going to become friends with this "Asian Flying Eagle"—the seven Tian Yang brothers seem to have a knack for making friends.

However, jokes aside, Tian Yangyi's analysis does have some merit. If God's Armed Forces truly hold clues to the Crusader treasure, then the nature of this matter is entirely different. Moreover, the High Table already has a grudge against the Doomsday Gospel Society, so going along with it wouldn't be considered an unnecessary complication.

"Here's what we'll do. You compile a detailed intelligence report and send it to Sophia," Lu Chen finally decided after much deliberation. "Let her decide whether to take action and how. If she's interested, have Jackie cooperate."

"Understood." Tian Yangyi's voice was calm, but Lu Chen felt that his tone was a little lighter than before.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Chen put the receiver back on the landline and picked up the document he hadn't finished reading.

As for those matters concerning relics and treasures far away in Greece, he no longer bothered to think about them.

It's just a lowly cult organization. If Sofia really wanted to take action, she could easily crush and wipe it out by sending a few elite forces from the High Table.

Of course, if Sofia isn't interested, then we can only hope that Jackie is as lucky as she is in the movie.
