is the son of the Holy See, but the master of black magic

Chapter 59 Investigating Andy
When Father Matthew mentioned the plan to use the general trend to force Andy into the organization, many people opposed it.

This is not because of conscience, or because of the loss of manpower in rescuing the boy.

It's because, doing this will expose the opposition organization that was originally hidden in the dark to the sight of the housekeeper and even the royal family.

This is very bad for the organization.

It's hard to say whether it's worth it to exchange for a boy who is very talented but needs years of training to be useful.

Until the priest claimed that he would send an absolutely reliable person to do the most exposed rescue link, and would not implicate the organization itself.

They reluctantly agreed to the plan.

Facts have proved that Father Matthew is still very organized.

The police chief who rescued Andy was unreliable, but he was obviously an outcast. Although he confessed, the information he provided was either wrong or misleading.

No matter how annoyed the housekeeper who arrested the abandoned son was, he didn't realize who the real opponents were.

The higher-ups breathed a sigh of relief.

It's a pity, but now they know that it's too early to let go of this tone!
"If we hadn't gone to save that damn boy, how could we be taking such a big loss now?"

The speaker did not pay attention to Father Matthew, but looked at the "mummy monster" at the top of the conference table, and said angrily:
"Decades of hard work have been ruined like this. Someone must stand up and take responsibility for such a heavy price!"

"Yes."

Another high-level person said in a deep voice: "The people on the island don't know what happened yet, but if the channel is closed for a long time, they will find something abnormal sooner or later."

"Many people's relatives are on land. If they don't handle it well, there will be trouble..."

"Undead, this matter cannot end."

"Damn Matthew! Damn that boy!"

"Shouldn't we discuss first, what should we do next?"

"Aside from hiding and waiting for the royal family to calm down, what else can I do?"

"..."

There was no cover for the successive discussions, as if Father Matthew was not there at all.

Obviously, these people no longer think that he has any way to survive, and the reason is still the same sentence - someone must stand up and take responsibility for the organization's decision to dock its tail to survive!

Even, one Matthew is not enough, and neither is the boy.

As the meeting continued, the few people who were on Matthew's side and agreed to his plan first became the targets of criticism!
As for whether this will make the organization that has already lost a lot of money worse?

In the current bleak situation, relative to the possibility of civil strife due to improper handling, the high-level officials don't care about making things worse!

In this regard, the gray-haired Father Matthew remained expressionless.

Sitting in the middle of the conference table, looking at the smoky surroundings, not only was he no longer angry, but a smile appeared in his eyes.

Because the current situation seems to be extremely unfavorable to him, but it is actually not the case——

Those who once supported his decision-making were also annoyed by this sudden disaster.

But now, being attacked by other high-level officials, they can only choose to defend Matthew.

Or rather, choose to assert yourself.

"It was indeed Matthew who we supported first, but you didn't object later, did you?"

"If it is not supported by all members, can this plan be passed?"

"And this incident is obviously abnormal. Why did we not get hit when we rescued the boy at first, but now suddenly there is an accident?"

"Why did the royal family get so angry?"

"Obviously related to the butler..."

The chaotic situation in the conference room, as the dispute continued, did not intensify, but gradually became "clear".

Because there are indeed many strange things in the matter, the high-level executives are angry, and they are not completely emotional after all.

And as long as you participate in the discussion, the state of the needle tip against the wheat awn will be greatly relieved.

Unknowingly, the atmosphere became relatively relaxed.

Seeing this, Father Matthew, who remained silent, secretly glanced at the black deputy mayor who had been looking at him.

The other party immediately caught the signal.

After hesitating for a while, he coughed loudly, and after everyone looked at him, he said in a serious tone:
"We may have made a fatal mistake!"

"What is wrong?"

"The steward didn't pay much attention to the boy before, because the boy's background couldn't allow him to compete for the place of that disciple. But what if the problem of birth is no longer a problem?"

"You mean, Matthew made a mistake in the investigation?"

Apparently someone didn't want to let the priest go, and immediately said after hearing the words: "Isn't this more to be held accountable?"

"Perhaps that is the case."

The deputy mayor nodded first, and then said: "But everyone knows who Matthew is, would he make such a low-level mistake?"

The ability and means of the chief exorcist are still very convincing.

Moreover, the character of the priest has also been tested for many years and has been unanimously recognized by everyone.

So, as soon as these words were said, although there were still a few people who were upset, most of them really calmed down.

"If the boy was not born in the world, but was born in the extraordinary, then as long as someone stronger than Matthew has covered him up, Matthew will naturally not be able to find out anything."

"Is that teacher's discriminatory character wrong?"

"Impossible, this has been proven by many deeds, how could it go wrong?"

"But what if someone with a higher rank than that teacher gave the order?"

"That's right, with the crown prince as a classmate, is it possible that the top management of the empire will completely let that one decide without authorization?"

"The royal family is so angry now, obviously they know something..."

"Do they think that the boy is a threat in our hands?"

"threaten?"

As soon as the word appeared, the conference room fell completely silent.

Everyone looked at each other and didn't speak for a long time.

The priest's trading plan is not difficult to guess, but they usually fall into a misunderstanding of thinking.

That is, he felt that the boy was not competitive, and he subconsciously never thought of betraying his own people.

But now, with the guidance of the situation, and the obviously abnormal large-scale actions of the royal family, such a layer of window paper was naturally pierced!
Moreover, it will be smoother than the priest voluntarily speaking out!
Not all high-level people are heartless, or fail to see the downside of such things.

They may eventually compromise, but they will definitely object in the meantime, requiring constant persuasion.

On the other hand, Andy's lecture behavior a few days ago also brought him great benefits——

At least some extraordinary people on the island like Andy very much, and look forward to Andy growing up.

For the priest, this is an opposing force that cannot be underestimated.

But now, under the coercion of the situation, none of these so-called opposition forces made a sound!
"If the royal family really thought we were threatening them with the boy."

Seeing this, the black deputy mayor spoke again, "Then those we stayed on the shore will not really lose their lives, but will only be used by the royal family as part of the bargaining chip."

"Yes."

Someone next to him agreed and said: "The royal family seems angry, but is it not a kind of fear? They are the kind of people who will definitely prepare for the worst before doing things."

What's the worst?
Of course, when he found out that he couldn't find the boy's hiding place no matter how hard he searched, he compromised with the rebels.

And, it won't take long at all.

Because that teacher will be back in more than a month!
And if the royal family compromises... what will it bring to the organization?
No one said some words, but the expressions on their faces were no longer gloomy as before.

The atmosphere in the entire meeting room became more relaxed.

Simply enduring a huge loss will make everyone angry, so angry that they need to find someone to vent their anger!
But it turned out that the matter was not the worst.

After the operation is done well, and it can even bring huge benefits, people's anger will only dissipate.

Then, apart from apprehension, I felt ecstatic!
So a crisis that should have been fatal was easily handled by Father Matthew.

What's more, those who were attacked by other high-level officials like him before have now become his potential allies!
"This period of time will be difficult, but as long as it passes through, everything will be over, and the development of the organization will completely move to a new level."

An executive who used to like Andy very much is now the first to propose it.

"Contract, negotiation process, method, venue, all these need to be carefully considered, and..."

He hesitated for a while, and then said: "The most important thing is that there should be no accidents on the boy's side. The job transfer resources we prepared for him before should be distributed to others now, not to him, so as not to make any noise."

"I think he should be put in a dungeon," added another. "Living by the sea is still risky."

"Yes."

The third person responded immediately, "He is weak, what if his feet slipped while walking, and he fell into the sea and drowned?"

"But the environment in the dungeon is not very good, what if you get sick?"

"He's a semi-transcendent, not that fragile..."

No one thinks about what Andy thinks, and no one cares.

Because from now on, Andy is just a bargaining chip in their eyes, a bargaining chip for trading.

Father Matthew, who watched the discussion of the people around him coldly, actually thought so too.

Andy is very smart, has a very poisonous vision, has a plan in doing things, and is even more amazingly talented.

But the weakness is too obvious.

The body is fragile, the vision is insufficient, and the personality is flawed.

Although the plan had an accident today, and the organization suffered heavy losses, it was impossible to knock him down with a single stick.

But after careful consideration, the priest did not think that the accident could be related to Andy.

His main target of suspicion was that the butler was being followed by people from the royal family, so he leaked the news.

This actually made him reflect inwardly, thinking that he was not secretive and cautious enough, and almost made a big mistake.

As for Andy being able to pass a letter, use a childish and impulsive nun to run errands, command Norman's useless old turtle to dig clues, and bring down the housekeeper...

This possibility never appeared in his mind.

That's so funny, it's like telling a joke!

……

The priest doesn't think so.

But at this moment, someone was wondering about the possibility of this matter.

"A little boy, a young girl, an old jerk like you..."

Standing in the bishop's bedroom, the Duchess named Anjou had her hands on her hips, looking suspiciously at the old Norman who was shivering at the foot of the bed, wrapped in a white sheet and looking terrified.

"Can you get the butler down?"
