Bartholomew's expression remained unchanged, but his fingers trembled slightly:

"Your excellency meant... Jiang Fan, was lying?"

Gustav said lazily:

"Gabriel was granted a sacred arrival by me. The strength and Herbert are only in the middle. Jiang Fan can suppress Herbert, and naturally can kill Gabriel! Very simple, isn't it?"

He lowered his eyes again:

"Bartholomew, as the chief of staff, you seem to have no reason to see it!"

The corner of Bartholomew's eyes jumped again, followed by a cautious opening:

"Your Excellency, Jiang Fan has a special status and will soon be baptized by His Majesty himself. Or, shouldn't you make judgments?"

Gustav nodded slightly:

"Um... it makes sense, but it's not good. Was he really killed by Heinrich?"

Bartholomew breathed a sigh of relief:

"My lord, Your Majesty wants to baptize Jiang Fan. Please also ask for instructions on the patrol of the holy city."

"Haha...With your Majesty, security is just a gesture, you can arrange it at will!"

"Yes, then, the subordinates retire."

"Um!"

Bartholomew slowly withdrew from the villa until he left completely, then took a few breaths and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Companion with a monarch is like a companion with a tiger!

As an old man of the Knights of Glory, Bartholomew has been the chief of staff from the time of Benedict. However, compared to Benedict, who was once under the pope, Gustav puts him under unprecedented pressure!

He really couldn't imagine that Gustav, who was dull at first and looked like everyone else, would have such a terrifying potential!

Over the years, he has witnessed Gustav’s strength from the beginning of his appreciation, to shock, and then to fear. By now, he has no way of guessing whether Gustav is in the end. Which realm have you entered!

And compared to strength, what made him more fearful was Gustav's more terrifying scheming!

He looks rough and wild, but this appearance is just to hide the delicate and suspicious heart!

Whether Barkley or Clarence, they are all human beings, but compared to Gustav, they are really far behind!

Only one thing can prove the gap, because even now, they don't seem to regard Gustav as a real opponent!

And now, there seems to be only one obstacle on Gustav's further path...

But is it true?

Bartholomew took a deep breath, he understood that the time to make a choice was approaching.

Looking back at the villa deeply, Bartholomew's figure finally gradually disappeared.

At the same moment, the other end of this huge residential area.

There is also a building standing here.

However, compared to Gustav's villa, this small building is full of traces of time, and the mottled walls are almost completely occupied by creepers.

In a room at the top of the small building, Barkley looked at the wall of the holy city in the distance through the window.

And behind him, Sharman, Greer, and Thomas are all in the list!

But compared to the silent Barkley, several people have different expressions.

Sharman was worried, and Greer's expression was obviously in a daze. As for Thomas, his eyes flickered and he looked at Barkley from time to time.

After a long time.

"Ahem."

Thomas gave a light cough and spoke actively:

"My lord, it doesn't seem appropriate that Tobias's body has been kept here, so why not send it to the holy city for purification?"

When he spoke, Sharman and Greer both moved their eyes, but they didn't say anything.

Barkley seemed to have just reacted, and he turned his head:

"Huh? What did you say?"

How could he not hear him at the twenty-fourth level!

Thomas opened his mouth, but immediately changed the subject:

"My lord, who do you think is appropriate for the purification of Tobias?"

"Oh."

Barkley nodded and asked suddenly:

"Where did Jiang Fan go?"

Thomas was taken aback, but Sharman spoke first:

"My lord, Jiang Fan went to the Nicholas family. Just now, I heard that he beat Herbert from the Knights of Glory."

"what?!"

Thomas and Greer were all taken aback.

Herbert is a strong nineteenth level. Can Jiang Fan beat him?

This, doesn't it mean that Jiang Fan's strength at the moment has reached at least level nineteen?

How could his strength grow so fast?

Barkley was also stunned, frowning slowly.

"My lord, Jiang Fan is nominally a member of our trial office. He beat Herbert. The Knights will count on us for this account. We have to make early plans!"

Thomas spoke suddenly.

Buckley looked at him:

"What do you think should be done?"

Thomas spoke immediately:

"This is not Britain. We are nowhere near as powerful as the Knights. Once we have a bad relationship, I am afraid that we will not get any advantage. It is better to throw Jiang Fan away and let him apologize to the Knights!"

Sharman and Greer also nodded, and now it seems that there is only this way, otherwise the matter will become a big deal, and both parties will not end well. If your Majesty is unhappy, everyone will be unlucky by then.

Barkley took a deep breath.

Looking at Thomas' eyes, the words "idiot" were clearly written!

Thomas was unaware, and instead asked kindly:

"My lord, what do you think?"

Barkley took a deep breath again, and finally tried to calm his emotions as much as possible:

"Gustav is so...reckless, hehe..."

When he said the word "reckless", he suddenly laughed.

Thomas is unknown, so I don’t know how Barkley laughed, but Barkley quickly reduced his smile:

"Since Gustav has not come to the door now, it proves that he doesn't want to go into this matter, whether it's because he wants to show favor to Jiang Fan or he doesn't want to offend your majesty, this matter has passed! And at this time, you Let Jiang Fan apologize, let this master who is stronger than Herbert take the initiative to bow his head and apologize. What do you think?"

Thomas opened his mouth wide and his face was very ugly.

Although Barkley didn't say a stupid word of him, these words almost slapped the word stupid on his face!

Thomas swallowed and opened his mouth cautiously:

"My lord, it's me, it's me who was wrong..."

Barkley turned his head and looked at the walls of the holy city again. After a long time, he suddenly spoke:

"Glier, you can do this, and let Jiang Fan apologize to the Knights."

"what?"

All of them were taken aback.

"But my lord, didn't you just say..."

Barkley waved his hand:

"Go and do it! After you come back, you will send Tobias' body to the Holy City as compensation."

"Yes!"

Greer's eyes lit up and immediately nodded excitedly.

As one of the upper members of the Dark Council, Tobias's identity is so important. Sending to the Holy City is definitely a great achievement!

And if it’s bad, you can meet the Pope, and meeting the Pope is more important than getting credit!

Thomas and Sharman were both very enthusiastic, but they didn't expect this good thing to fall on Greer.

Neither of them noticed the words "as compensation" in Barkley's words.
