Chapter 1597: Meeting the Pope

Amid a round of applause, Air Force One landed smoothly on the runway and slowly taxied towards the tarmac.

After Air Force One taxied into place, finally turned off the engine and parked on the tarmac, the airport staff immediately drove the gangway car and delivered the gangway to the cabin door accurately.

Immediately afterward, the head of the Secret Service on the ground stepped forward with several agents and quickly checked whether the gangway was safe and the connection to the Air Force One airframe.

After the safety was confirmed, the Secret Service ground chief used the walkie-talkie to inform Air Force One that the cabin door could be opened

In the next second, the door of Air Force One opened.

At the same time, there was also a round of applause on the tarmac, and everyone who was on the tarmac who had come to greet the Pope looked eagerly at the cabin door.

Except for Ye Tian, who did not believe in Christianity, everyone at the scene was counted as one, and they were all very excited at this time, and everyone's eyes were full of expectation

Many religious figures pressed their right hands to their chests, waiting for the Pope to appear with solemn expressions, and some devout believers even lightly drew crosses on their chests and prayed in low voices

Just as people were looking forward to it, a figure appeared at the door of the cabin, it was the Pope.

He stooped out of the Air Force One cabin, stood on the gangway platform at the door of the cabin, raised his right hand, and smiled and waved gently to the welcoming crowd on the tarmac and to the many media reporters.

It was a white man in his seventies, with silver hair, a skullcap, a white robe, and a golden cross on his chest

With the appearance of His Holiness the Pope, the atmosphere of the scene instantly reached its peak.

"Bang Bang Bang"

The applause became even louder, resounding throughout Boston International Airport.

At this time, not only the welcoming crowd on the tarmac applauded, but everyone in the departure hall, and indeed the vast majority of the people of Boston and Massachusetts, applauded to welcome His Holiness the Pope.

In the midst of this warm applause, there were countless voices of sincere prayers, from those devout believers, for whom it was a moment of happiness

Many media reporters at the scene raised their cameras and video cameras one after another, pressed the shutter of the camera almost frantically, and the sound of clicking became one and the sound was endless

What's more, some people have already shed tears of emotion.

In the vicinity of Ye Tian alone, there were Evelyn and Sophie, and Betty's eyes were also a little moist, but tears did not flow out

After waving his hand, the Pope began to walk down the gangway, slowly but steadily.

"Honey, let's go over"

Ye Tian whispered to Betty, then gently took her hand, stepped out of the crowd of pick-ups, and walked unhurriedly towards the gangway.

Also walking forward to greet the pope at the gangway were Cardinal Kent, several religious leaders of the Diocese of Boston, and the governor of Massachusetts and the mayor of Boston

Looking at these people who walked forward and were about to face the Pope, everyone on the scene and on the live broadcast side was extremely envious, and they hated to replace them

Especially Ye Tian and Betty, their eyes are red that many people envy

However, everyone knows very well that the Pope was able to come to the United States and visit Boston at this time because of these two guys

That's why they are here, and they enjoy special courtesy, and go to the gangway to greet the Pope, which is a matter of course, and it is beyond reproach

Who is not lucky enough to be unlucky, without a pair of eyes to discover treasures, without Raphael's Madonna and Michelangelo's mourning Christ can only envy themselves in vain

In the middle of three or two steps, everyone has come to the gangway, and according to the order set before, on the right side of the gangway, lined up along the red carpet.

Ye Tian and Betty stood very far ahead, before them, Cardinal Kent was the only one, and as for the others, they could only be ranked behind them

That is to say, after the Pope walked down the gangway, the first person to meet was Ye Tian, then Betty, and then the others.

As for Cardinal Kent, he was originally a confidant of the Pope and came to Boston to fight the front station, so naturally he could not talk about meeting with the Pope

"Wow Steven, this bastard is so lucky, and his beautiful and sexy fiancée, if I had been there, I would have met the Pope as soon as possible"

"Don't even think about it there, do you have the Vatican's art collection that has been lost for hundreds of years, do you have the masterpieces of Raphael and Michelangelo, if not, just rest as soon as possible."

At the tarmac scene, as well as countless live broadcasts, envious discussions sounded everywhere, and everyone hated to replace Ye Tian and Betty

Amid the chatter, the Pope had already stepped down the gangway and stood on the red carpet.

At the same time, the President of the United States and the First Lady also stepped out of the cabin and stood on the gangway platform at the hatch, smiling, waving to everyone at the scene and to many media reporters

There was another round of applause on the tarmac, but much less than when the Pope had been welcomed, and it was clear that the focus was not on the president and first lady of the United States.

"Sir, this is Steven, this beautiful young lady next to him is Steven's fiancée Betty, tomorrow they will have a wedding at the Old South Church in Boston"

Kent stepped forward and introduced Ye Tian and Betty to the Pope.

Before his words fell, Ye Tian and Betty had already stepped forward, bowed slightly to the Pope, and said with a smile

"Good afternoon, Your Majesty the Pope, I am Steven, welcome to Boston, it is a pleasure to meet you, and thank you very much for agreeing to the request to officiate for our wedding, you are truly a gracious Your Majesty"

While he greeted and greeted, the Pope looked at him with interest, his eyes full of curiosity and appreciation.

As soon as he finished introducing himself, the Pope stretched out his right hand and shook his hand.

"Good afternoon, Steven, I am glad to meet you, I have long known your name, and according to legend, you are a man of eternal God's favor, and very lucky

I hope that in the days to come, God will still favor you and bring you good luck, and I would like to thank you especially for helping us recover those two long-lost masterpieces.

Needless to say, the reason why I was able to come to the United States and visit Boston this time is largely because of you, and I am very happy to officiate at your wedding and send you my best wishes."

"You're welcome, Your Majesty the Pope, the statue of Our Lady of Raphael and Michelangelo's mourning Christ can return to the Vatican, we can get your blessing, it's the best of both worlds"

Ye Tian shook hands with the Pope, said a few polite words, and behaved neither humble nor arrogant, very decent.

Then they talked a few more words, and the Pope looked at Betty and greeted her with a smile.

"Good afternoon, Betty, you are a beautiful girl, it is a pleasure to meet you, and I am also honored to be here in Boston to officiate your wedding with Steven, I wish you a happy life and love each other forever"

Finally, Betty's tears flowed uncontrollably, and it was all due to excitement and happiness

"Good afternoon, Your Majesty the Pope, I am Betty, it is a pleasure to meet you, and thank you very much for coming to Boston to officiate for our wedding, it is a great honor for me, you are such a merciful priest"

Betty said respectfully, her voice choked up.

As she spoke, she bent her knees slightly, gave a salute, bowed her head and kissed the back of the Pope's right hand, and then quickly drew a cross on her chest, showing great piety and respect

Looking at her actions, the Pope nodded slightly, and a glint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

Then the Pope said two more words of comfort and blessing, and he was ready to step out and walk to the next person who came to greet him, the governor of Massachusetts

He just took a step, as if he suddenly remembered something, and turned his head back to Ye Tian and said

"Steven, do you have time later, if I have time, I would like to invite you to dinner with Betty, there are some things I want to talk to you about"

"It is a great honour to accept your invitation, His Majesty the Pope, and we are also very honoured to have dinner with you, and Betty and I will be on time for the dinner when we have time in the evening

If possible, I would like Betty's parents to attend the dinner as well, they are very devout believers and must be eager to have dinner with you."

Ye Tian smiled and nodded in response, agreeing very happily

And he hit the snake with the stick, which also created an opportunity for Matthew and Evelyn to get close to the Pope, and once the two of them knew, they would probably be crazy

As for some of the things that the Pope said to discuss, of course he knew what the Pope was talking about

Since there is a request, where will the Pope refuse his request.

"Okay, Steven, let's have Betty's parents come to the dinner, I'm happy to have dinner with them, and have a conversation, Kent will let you know the time and place of the dinner later."

With that, the Pope turned around and walked towards the governor of Massachusetts.

Some of the people at the back of the team all looked at Ye Tian and Betty, and their eyes were red with envy.

The opportunity to have dinner with His Holiness the Pope, who doesn't want it, dreams of it

At this time, Ye Tian and Betty had already stood back in place, quickly collected their emotions, and looked at the President and First Lady of the United States who had already walked down the gangway

In the blink of an eye, the President and First Lady of the United States were in front of them, both with bright smiles on their faces and neat, white teeth

"Good afternoon, Mr. President, and welcome to Boston, I'm Steven, and it's a pleasure to meet you,"

Ye Tian greeted the President of the United States with a smile on his face, and took the initiative to stretch out his right hand.

The other party looked at him, his eyes full of curiosity.
