Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

The Pope, standing to the side, was in a state of utter confusion.

In his haste, he even became distracted by the deceased.

Su Qingyan never took him seriously. Seizing this fleeting opening, she moved slightly and struck the Pope in the chest with her palm.

A surge of powerful spiritual energy exploded, sending the Pope flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

Before he could land and regain his balance, Su Qingyan had already darted behind him and delivered a vicious kick.

boom!

The Pope's body slammed into the roof of the temple and then crashed heavily to the ground, instantly cracking the hard granite floor and sending dust and gravel flying everywhere.

He tried to sit up despite the excruciating pain, but Su Qingyan had already stepped forward and firmly placed her foot on his chest, locking him in place with terrifying pressure.

"Everyone, stop!"

A cold, angry rebuke echoed throughout the church, carrying an overwhelming sense of power.

The knights and clergy of the Papacy, who were originally engaged in fierce fighting, froze in their tracks, and the noisy battlefield fell into dead silence.

"Anyone who dares to make the slightest move will be killed without mercy."

Six simple words, chillingly cold, made everyone in the room afraid to even breathe.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ling Yuyan and Gao Yuan sheathed their swords. The two had just joined forces to kill dozens of silver-armored knights, their clothes stained with blood. They quickly withdrew and stood side by side with Su Qingyan.

Qin Quan also sheathed his sword and returned to his position. The four of them stood in a circle, staring intently at the entire scene.

The entire battle lasted only five minutes, and the powerful Papacy had already lost most of its men.

The Pope lay prone on the ground, peering through the swirling dust. All he could see were severed limbs, corpses scattered everywhere, and blood soaking the entire hall—a horrifying sight.

The once sacred and solemn holy site of the Vatican has now become a living hell.

He was overwhelmed by endless regret.

If he hadn't been so stubborn and had readily agreed to Qin Quan's compensation terms, he wouldn't be in such a miserable state now.

Large tears rolled down his cheeks, and the Pope's voice was hoarse as he completely gave in.

"Senior... I know I was wrong. I'm willing to grant all your requests and I will never go back on my word."

"You don't know you're wrong, you know you're about to die."

Su Qingyan pressed down slightly with her feet, increasing the force a bit, hitting the nail on the head.

"I tried to reason with you, but you insisted on using violence. Now you've been beaten into submission and are finally willing to admit your mistake. How ridiculous!"

The Pope was so enraged by the rebuke that he nearly fainted on the spot, but he dared not utter a word of rebuttal. He could only suppress his humiliation and force out a fawning smile.

"Your words are absolutely right, senior! I was foolish and ignorant. I will immediately open the Vatican's treasury and let everyone choose their treasures. I will also add another billion to the compensation, making a total of five billion US dollars, which I will pay immediately!"

"If they had known this sooner, why have sent so many people to their deaths needlessly?"

Qin Quan strode forward, looking down at him with a mocking tone:

"You Western powers have always refused to listen to reason and will instead suffer the consequences."

At this moment, the Pope had lost all his majesty as the ruler of the Holy Land, nodding repeatedly in agreement and behaving obediently like a junior.

"Yes, yes, senior is right. We were arrogant and conceited."

Su Qingyan slowly lifted her foot, releasing the foot that had been pressing down on the Pope.

Qin Quan bent down and lifted him up, her tone sharp and getting straight to the point.

"Bank transfer or check?"

"Transfer! Transfer immediately!"

The Pope dared not delay for a moment and immediately summoned a wounded presiding bishop. The two quickly checked the accounts and processed the transfer.

In a short time, the five billion US dollars were transferred in full to the designated account.

Upon receiving the notification that the money had been credited to his account, Qin Quan turned to his three senior sisters and gave them a smug look. Suddenly, his face darkened, and he sternly rebuked the Pope.

"What are you all standing there for? Lead the way to the treasure vault!"

"This way, esteemed seniors! This way, esteemed seniors!"

Ignoring the corpses and horrific aftermath, the Pope groveled and led the way with obsequious fawning.

The remaining members of the Vatican who remained in the main hall watched the departing figures, their hearts filled with resentment and anger, yet none dared to utter a word to stop them.

The overwhelming victory in just five minutes completely shattered their innate arrogance.

They knew in their hearts that all their experts had perished, and the remaining people were utterly vulnerable. If another conflict broke out, the entire Holy See would be completely destroyed.

"I simply can't swallow this insult!"

A young knight gritted his teeth and growled, his eyes filled with resentment.

"What can you do if you can't swallow it?"

The old man beside him had a bitter expression on his face and sighed softly.

"All the cardinals and bishops have perished in battle, and the Pope has been trampled underfoot and humiliated at will. We are no longer able to resist. If we do not compromise and pay reparations today, the thousand-year-old foundation of the Papacy will be completely destroyed."

"A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years! I will remember this humiliation!"

Watch your mouth! Shut up!

The people around him hurriedly covered his mouth, fearing that Qin Quan and his group would hear his words and bring about their own demise.

……

The Papal Treasury is located beneath the Pope's bedroom, with its entrance cleverly hidden beneath the bed.

Clang!

The Pope pressed a hidden mechanism on the wall, and the heavy bed slowly slid open, revealing the entrance to a dark and deep underground palace.

He turned sideways and bowed, his face full of flattery.

"Esteemed seniors, this is the treasure vault of my Holy See."

"Lead the way."

Qin Quan's tone was calm and expressionless.

"yes!"

The Pope was the first to step into the underground palace. The heavy doors of the treasury slowly opened, revealing a brightly lit underground palace, as bright as day.

On either side of the hundred stone steps leading to the underground, each step is inlaid with five large, round, luminous pearls.

Dazzling lights and the ultimate in luxury.

Inside the treasure vault.

The place is filled with rare and precious treasures, with gemstones, magical artifacts, and antiques piled up like mountains. Any one of these items would be a priceless treasure that would spark a fierce battle for it if it were to fall into the world.

But the four of them didn't even look at these worldly treasures.

Their goal throughout this trip has always been the three great relics that the Papacy has suppressed.

The Holy Grail, the Spear of Fate, and the Ark of the Covenant.

"Junior brother, look over there!"

Ling Yuyan gently poked Qin Quan's side, gesturing with her eyes to the display stand at the deepest part of the treasure vault.

There, a dark, rusty spear was quietly stuck in the ground, seemingly unremarkable and inconspicuous.

Qin Quan immediately saw through the mystery. This seemingly broken spear was surrounded by extremely subtle power of the rules of heaven and earth, which was the legendary Spear of Destiny that held the power to decide victory or defeat and to guide fate.

"I'll take this gun."

Qin Quan flashed to the front of the display stand, firmly gripped the gun, its weight and solidity concealing immense power.

He turned to look at the Pope, a half-smile playing on his lips, and said:

"Old man, this treasure is mine, you don't have any objections, do you?"

"No objections! Not even the slightest objection!"

The Pope quickly waved his hand and smiled humbly.

"If you're happy, I'd gladly empty the entire treasure vault without a second thought!"

"really?"

Qin Quan had only intended to take three sacred artifacts, but upon hearing this, he immediately became interested.

Since the other party had taken the initiative to agree, he naturally wouldn't be polite.

He turned and gave Su Qingyan and the other two a look, and the four of them understood immediately.

The three women immediately took out their treasure bags, no longer being picky, and instead selected treasures with profound history and top value to store.

A moment later, hundreds of rare treasures were all put into the bag.

The Pope, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded. His face turned from white to pale, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

He originally thought that the number of the four people was limited, and that taking away a few sacred objects would be the limit. He never expected that the other party's treasure bag contained a world of wonders. It looked like the size of a palm, but it could hold a huge number of treasures.

Watching his family's millennia-old wealth being rapidly emptied, he was filled with remorse and wished he could slap himself a few times.

"Master, come quickly!"

Just then, Gao Yuan's voice suddenly rang out.

She lifted the lid of a dusty, old-fashioned wooden box in the corner, her eyes filled with shock.
