Elena's fingers, as white as mutton fat jade, gently touched the crystal mirror that shimmered with purple light, and Giovanni's anxious voice immediately came from the mirror.

"Reporting to Lady Elena, five minutes ago, we activated the highest level of alarm procedures at Secret Warehouse No. 3 in the Bastod community. The cause is currently unknown. I am now leading a team to Secret Warehouse No. 3 for rescue, and it is estimated that it will take another ten minutes to reach Secret Warehouse No. 3."

Upon hearing Giovanni's account, Elena's icy expression immediately changed, and she asked Giovanni, "Is that shipment of seafood in Warehouse Number Three?"

"Yes, three days ago, after you signed the order, Lady Elena, the shipment was transferred to Warehouse Number Three for storage, following standard confidential transit procedures!" Giovanni's voice echoed through the crystal mirror once more.

Upon hearing Giovanni's affirmative answer, Elena's expression undoubtedly worsened, but she didn't let anger cloud her judgment. Remaining calm, she pondered for three seconds before calmly asking, "Christant, where is he now?"

"I don't know. After I received the report, my first thought was to contact Christant, but I couldn't reach him no matter what I did!" Giovanni said without hesitation, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he realized he had spoken out of turn and regretted it very much.

As per Pope Ilsanker's instructions, Cardinal Elena, as the Storm Church's overall commander in Frosinone, was fully responsible for handling all matters. Now, with such a major incident as the alarm being triggered at Secret Warehouse No. 3, Giovanni should have informed Elena first, not Christant. And even if he had, he shouldn't have told Elena directly; that would have been incredibly foolish. Elena could have used this as a pretext to severely punish him within the Church…

Just as Giovanni was regretting his foolishness and wanted to explain himself to Elena, Elena gave the order: "Giovanni, I now order you to immediately lead men to reinforce Warehouse Three. Protect the seafood there at all costs. I will arrange for reinforcements!"

Although Elena was undoubtedly furious that Giovanni's first contact after encountering an emergency was not with Cardinal Frosinone, the head of the Black Organization, but with Christant, the intelligence director, she couldn't easily vent her anger. However, at this critical juncture, she needed Giovanni to support Secret Warehouse No. 3 and resolve the crisis there.

Therefore, for now, she can only pretend not to hear. However, this does not mean that Elena will let Giovanni off the hook. She has already made a deep grudge against Giovanni in her heart. Once this matter is over, Elena will definitely teach Giovanni a lesson so that he will remember it!

Giovanni, who was already rushing to reinforce Secret Warehouse No. 3, was actually looking for exactly what Elena had to say. Now that he had received Elena's promise, he was naturally relieved and told her, "I will do my best!"

"I don't want you to do everything in your power, I want you to ensure the safety of that shipment of seafood!" Elena said to Giovanni, enunciating each word clearly and in a very serious tone, reiterating her request.

After Elena finished speaking, Giovanni was silent for three seconds, then his voice came through the crystal mirror again, saying, "I understand. I will ensure the safety of that shipment!"

Only after receiving Giovanni's assurance did Elena finally let him go, ending her communication with him. She then began using the purple crystal mirror to send orders to the Storm Church's forces in Frosinone to support Secret Warehouse Number Three.

Jovic, who had listened to Elena and Giovanni's entire conversation without intervening, appeared somewhat serious. However, a closer look at his facial expressions revealed that he was actually extremely relaxed; his seriousness was entirely feigned.

Although Jovic's behavior was somewhat incomprehensible, Elena's attention was entirely focused on the No. 3 secret warehouse and the shipment of seafood. She was anxiously contacting the Storm Church in Frosinone to provide support for the No. 3 secret warehouse, so she had no time to observe Jovic's expression.

Just as Elena was arranging two teams to support Warehouse No. 3, her pale purple crystal mirror lit up again. Elena paused slightly, then realized who was contacting her. She immediately became furious, clicking the crystal key to answer the call. Without waiting for the other party to speak, she immediately spoke, her voice icy and sinister: "Christant, you have some nerve, daring to set me up. Do you think that with Hummels backing you up, I can't do anything to you, the intelligence director of the Black Organization?"

After Elena finished speaking her threatening words, Christant's heavy voice came from the crystal mirror.

"Lady Elena, I know you must be very angry right now, and you may think that I am the one who tricked you behind your back. After all, the person who submitted the request to transfer this batch of seafood is my subordinate. But please believe me, although I chose to support Lord Hummels in the competition between you and Lord Hummels, so that he could become the next Pope of the Church, succeed His Holiness Ilsank, and lead the Church forward."

"But that doesn't mean I would harm the interests of the Church for this choice. I always remember that I am a follower of the Storm Goddess, and the interests of the Church will always be the greatest to me, whether in the time of gods or demons. I would never do such a thing to frame Lady Elena and betray the interests of the Church..."

Hearing Christant's candid and sincere words, Elena, though still annoyed, gradually calmed down and realized that while Christant supported Hummels, he didn't have such a strong influence over him.

If the items stored in Warehouse No. 3 are stolen, Elena, as the overall commander of the Storm Church in Frosinone, will be in trouble. However, Christant, as the intelligence director of the Black Organization, will definitely be in deep trouble. In any case, he cannot escape the responsibility for dereliction of duty in the investigation!
