Chapter 1497 Zurinus

"So Ning, how do you know His Holiness? Are you a Paladin?" the Emperor asked.

"No, Your Majesty. I helped His Holiness and his people by catching a criminal while I was visiting Airan. I got to meet His Holiness at that time," Ning said. He noticed that the Emperor did not go for his handshake, making him wonder why that was. He moved his hand around as he spoke instead, hoping to touch the Emperor somehow, but it didn't look as though it was working.

"A criminal, huh? Must've been a rather terrible one to get an audience with his Holiness," the Emperor said.

"Young Ning is underselling himself. The criminal was a bad one, yes. But he also gave us a Zurin treasure that he captured from the criminal."

"You didn't value the treasure?" the Emperor asked.

"I valued my meeting with His Holiness even more," Ning said.

"And of course. The young man that Ning goes around with, a young man by the name of Tim has the potential to become the next pope after I abdicate the rank."

The Emperor was quite surprised this time around, quite surprised at the fact that there was someone who could become the next pope in his party.

"I wish to meet this young man. Can you call him for me?" the Emperor asked.

Ning turned around and pointed to where Tim was. One of the men around the Emperor quickly rushed toward Tim and called him over. Tim rushed toward the Emperor, wide-eyed and confused. "Your Majesty, I am Timothy Orstar. It is my pleasure to have met you," Tim said quickly.

"Timothy. I hear you have what it takes to be the next pope," the Emperor said.

"Hmm? I mean, yes, Your Majesty," Tim said quickly.

"No need to get flustered. I'm just a man," the Emperor said. "Tell me, are you going to become the next pope then?"

"I... haven't decided just yet. I'm taking my time with the decision."

"Don't wait too long," the Emperor said. "Good things come for those who seek to get it. Not to mention, being that close to God Zurinus himself is an opportunity that no mortal man could ever hope to have in his life."

It was a very conniving plan, and it worked super well.

Ning stopped before the woman and reached out with his hands. "Miss Jenny, is it? I've been wanting to meet you for a long time."

The old woman in her 80s turned around. "Oh, how can I help you, son?" she asked as she reached for Ning's hands.

Ning grabbed it and smiled.

The woman's face immediately paled. "Would you kindly die?"

Ning was suddenly grappled by half a dozen men, pinning him to the ground. But the job was done now. He had found the person he had been meaning to find ever since he came here.

All this time, he expected Zurinus to be someone popular with a lot of fame. Instead, it turned out that he liked staying in the shadow, manipulating people into spreading his name even more.

Well, not anymore.

Ning had found him, and this would be the end of Zurinus.

"What..." the woman named Jenny faltered back. "What did you do to me?"

"Happy death day, Zurinus."
