Chapter 417: Teach Jack a lesson
Intramuroline Kloster.
To the east of the central area, the Church of Kang.
The believers suddenly exclaimed, for they saw that inside the round door on the ground, the three black-clothed friars who had entered before had gone and returned, but the man at the head still carried a young man in his hand.
"Patel! You damn bastard! β
Ms. Fana suddenly stood up excitedly and tried to rush over, but was held back by her husband, Johnston. She couldn't help but scold, her eyes hateful, and she wanted to eat the other party.
"I really think of you as a friend, why do you deceive me so much...... Patel! Look at me! β
Johnston said in a deep voice to Patel.
The other party was grabbed by Golov by the back collar, pressed to the ground and knelt, but in the face of Johnston's questioning, he slowly raised his head, sneered twice and said:
"Because only a fool like you can deceive ......"
"Damn it!"
Johnston couldn't help but curse.
The believers in the church were both surprised and excited to see that the friars sent by Father Jack had really caught the fraudster.
"This is the power of the Orthodox Church......
"Father Jack has the extraordinary power of the gods to capture the wicked wherever they flee...... It's great that we can get the shelter of the Church of Kang'an! β
"Praise the God of the Covenant, and praise the Council of Grace!"
The believers spoke excitedly and couldn't help but start praying.
Immediately, they turned their attention to Father Jack to see what he could do next.
Chen Lun walked to the stage with the Bible in his hand, and the three Golovs bowed to him.
"Master Jack, Patel has been captured."
"You're doing a good job."
He complimented.
Immediately, Chen Lun glanced at Petel, who couldn't help but shudder when he saw Chen Lun...... He knew the black-hatted young man, whom he had met on the Pearl Bamogo, and who was a high-ranking cleric of the Conciliation Council.
At first, he was in awe and planned to stop, but the other party didn't seem to care about his little person...... It wasn't until the other party got off the boat and left, that Patel's mind became restless again, and a seed called "luck" took root in him, prompting him to feel that his plan could be carried out.
But he didn't expect that the matter had already ended successfully, and he even fled to the Viscount Rennes' mansion with the money, avoiding the sight of the royal city security office...... But he was easily found by this Father Jack and captured.
It was only at this moment that Pelt realized how powerful the Orthodox Church really was, and how ignorant and stupid he was.
He regretted it in his heart.
It's not that I regret the crime I committed, but that I regret that I shouldn't have done something right under Jack's nose.
"Pettel, I've already given you a chance."
Chen Lun looked directly into the other party's eyes and said softly.
"On the Pearl Bamogo, you used the Trickster sequence ability to induce Johnston to take a keen interest in your business...... If I had been under the Code of the Sun and the Containment Regulations, I should have suppressed you, but I didn't. β
He paused.
Petel's expression was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that the other party had already seen through him at that time, but he was still like a naΓ―ve fool, feeling that the plan was seamless.
The other party is definitely a transcendent person who is much higher than his own sequence!
Patel couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he figured this out.
I saw that Father Jack's expression became more and more serious.
"Because I'm also from an extraordinary background, I know that this group is not easy...... At that time, I thought that you had not done any serious harm, so I let you go, but I did not expect that you were greedy and bold, not only using your extraordinary power to defraud huge amounts of property and insult the followers of our religion, but also dared to provoke the authority of the Orthodox Church. β
Petel suddenly felt a strong uneasiness, buried his head deeply, and said in a trembling voice:
"I ...... I know it's wrong, Father Jack, please spare my life and I'll take all the money......"
"Naive."
Chen Lun shook his head indifferently.
"Naturally, the stolen money will be handed over, but what you have done is no longer an ordinary crime, but a 'mysterious endangerment incident'...... If you don't want to be taken into the interrogation room, confess the whole process of the crime now. β
Patel's expression was distorted, bearing the torment and struggle of his heart.
Eventually, he sighed in frustration and honestly stated his plan.
It turned out that Johnston was not the only one who was targeting, and while deliberately approaching the other side, he also looked for three other targets...... After arriving in the royal city, Patel successively squeezed out the money of these people and ran away with the money.
And Viscount Wren was his new target, but before he could close the net, he was caught by Chen Lun. The so-called "Sarin two-wheeled scooter company" is actually a shell company that he found someone to do, which is specially used as a tool for the bureau.
"Are you smart or stupid?"
Chen Lun shook his head.
"This is the royal city, you are a sequence eight transcendent and dare to stir up the wind and rain......"
He immediately took out a pen and paper, wrote a letter, handed it to Golov beside him, and explained to him:
"Send this letter to the Wangcheng Shelter and give it to Miss Mona, so that she can send someone to assist Wujiao in thoroughly investigating the 'Sarin Two-Wheeled Scooter Company' and recover the stolen money in time...... As for Patel, it's up to us to deal with it. β
"Yes, Master Jack."
Golov replied respectfully.
Chen Lun then pressed Petel about the whereabouts of the rest of the stolen money, and the latter did not dare to hide it, saying that the bank certificate was on him.
Now things are much easier, Chen Lun returned the money to the Johnstons, and warned them that they should be vigilant in doing business and not be gullible...... In the presence of the believers, he explained the teachings of the "Just Instrument", which perfectly achieved the purpose of propagating the Parliament of Justice.
The Johnstons were overjoyed, but they did not expect to get back the original amount of the initial funds that had been defrauded, and they also witnessed the tragic situation of Patel, and they only felt like they were on a roller coaster.
They were very grateful to Father Jack, if it weren't for him, how could there have been such a perfect result.
"Father Jack, I'...... We don't know how to thank you! β
Johnston said excitedly.
His wife, Fana, glanced at her husband blankly, and then looked at Chen Lun sincerely.
"Father Jack, thank you so much for all you have done for us, and we intend to donate a thousand gold pounds to the Council of Grace as a token of appreciation."
"No need, two."
Chen Lun smiled and shook his head.
"It's a good thing that the money is back, and you don't have to be burdened, it's just what I should do...... Your company is not yet in the starting stage and has limited funds, so don't waste it here. β
"This ......"
The Johnstons looked at each other.
Father Jack's posture suddenly rose a lot higher in their eyes.
Such a person who is clean and self-righteous and has a noble character is really admirable.
Even the believers who watched the whole process bowed their heads to Chen Lun and respectfully recited the name of Father Jack and the prayer of the council.
"Well, now that the matter has been settled, it is time for today's service to end."
Chen Lun returned to the bulletin stand with the Bible in his hand, looked down at the nearly 100 believers with a smile, bathed in that respectful gaze, and then said:
"Praise be to the God of the Covenant, and may you be well today."
"Thank you for your blessings, Father Jack."
The believers prostrated one after another.
"Praise be to the God of Covenant."

Intramuros Central District.
The Viscount of Rennes' Mansion.
In the corridor on the second floor of the villa, a bearded man was standing next to the desk near the bedroom, who was holding the microphone of a wired telephone at the moment, wiping his sweat and waiting quietly.
This "new" communication equipment is a technological product that has only emerged in recent years, and it has also been in the limelight at the Imperial Exhibition, and the homes of the powerful and wealthy merchants in the royal city are basically equipped with such telephones.
However, the communication range is limited to the Intramuros area.
Soon, accompanied by a blind voice, an impatient low male voice came from the other end of the microphone:
"Who?"
"Secretary Pocar, it's me, ...... Wren"
Viscount Wren said in a respectful tone.
Pocar was a clerk of the Sun royal family, and he was so powerful that even ordinary nobles had to treat him politely. The two are good friends, and Viscount Wren plans to ask each other for help.
"It's Wren, is there anything important about you calling? I'm compiling the minutes of today's royal meeting......"
"Ah, I'm really sorry to disturb you, so I'll call you later."
Viscount Wren hurriedly said.
"It's okay, you can tell you something."
Reciprocal Pocar said with a chuckle.
"Ahem, that's right, I have a good friend ......"
Viscount Wren took a deep breath and told Petel about it.
He hoped that the other party could help him rescue Patel, and promised to share half of the gold pounds he earned from investing during this time.
After listening to his words, the other end of the microphone was silent for a long time.
"Wren, are you sure that friend you are talking about is really wronged? As the new Orthodox Church, the Council will not arrest criminals for no reason at this juncture......"
"This ......"
Viscount Wren hesitated a little, but still insisted that Petel had not committed a crime.
"Even you can't do it?"
Clerk Pocar seemed to be embarrassed, and after a deep groan, he told Viscount Wren through the microphone:
"You may not know that the supreme head of the Intramuros of the Council of Kang arrived yesterday, his name is Jakespet, one of the ten consuls of the Senate, this person is not small, even the crown prince has heard of him, and seems to have a lot of importance for him...... Most of the arrest was an order given by him. β
"Jakespeter ......"
Viscount Wren chewed on the name for a moment, then sighed.
"I see, Registrar Pocar, in that case, let's forget about Pettel......"
"Wait, Wren."
Pocar also seemed unwilling to give up what Wren called "remuneration dividends", and thought about it and came up with an idea for him.
"Jakespeter is not easy to offend, even I really can't help you get people, but there is someone who can."
"Who?"
Viscount Wren raised his eyebrows and hurriedly asked.
"Duke Abilamatrasur."
From the other end of the microphone came the deep voice of Secretary Pocar.
"Not only is he a member of the Sun Royal, but he is also a friend of Archbishop Terrence of the Church of the Sun...... Archbishop Terrence had a previous conflict with Jakespet, and Duke Abirama was furious about it, and if he asked for his help, he might be able to do it. β
"Duke Abirama ......"
Viscount Wren's eyes lit up.
He understood the meaning of Pocar's words, which was to use the Duke's hatred of Jack to achieve his own ends. But he was a little distressed, because although he was also a nobleman, he had never crossed paths with such a big man.
"Wren, don't worry, I can help you match...... Some time ago, I was invited to a banquet at the Duke of Abirama's palace, and I have the contact information of this lord. β
Pocar laughed.
Seeing this, Viscount Wren couldn't help but be a little happy.
"Thank you so much, Secretary Pocar."
"You're welcome, we should help each other as friends, shouldn't we?"
There was a chuckle on the other end of the microphone.
Viscount Wren had a bottom in his heart, and felt that Patel was probably saved.
However, just a week later.
The news of Patel's 300-year sentence and imprisonment in the church of Kang spread far and wide, and the news of the Kang Parliament's efforts to protect the faithful spread.
The fame of Father Jack and the Council of Conciliation grew louder and louder in the royal city.
When Viscount Wren heard the news from the butler's mouth, he couldn't help but be stunned.
He immediately called his friend Pocar again to inquire about the matter.
Unexpectedly, the other party's tone was full of anger, and he directly scolded him with a snort:
"Wren, didn't you tell me that Patel was innocent? However, the Council of Kang Yi directly produced more than a dozen pieces of evidence to prove that that guy was indeed an extraordinary criminal, and that he was a [fraudster], and he was the best at demagoguery......"
"Hug ...... Sorry, Pocar, I didn't know that Patel turned out to be a liar. β
Wren was a little flustered and hurriedly explained.
He immediately realized that the investment he had been instigated by Petel was likely to be a waste of money. Wren wanted to check now, but he didn't dare to hang up.
Pocar sighed heavily, and then said:
"Duke Abirama promised to help, but there was no room for manoeuvre...... The Duke even went to the Church of Kang to ask for someone, but Na Jack didn't give face at all. β
Viscount Wren's heart sank.
He only felt that he was in a bad mood now, not only did he have lost the money he had, but he might also offend Duke Abirama because of it.
"But don't worry, the Duke told me in private, and he won't give up...... Jack embarrassed him in public, and he planned to take advantage of the end of the Imperial Celebration Day to teach Jack a lesson at the prince's dinner, so that the Council of Kang would lose face and not be able to gain a foothold in the royal city...... At that time, as long as Jack is transferred and leaves, then there will be room for Patel's affairs to operate. β
Pocar said slowly.
Wren listened in silence and finally nodded, which was a glimmer of hope.
"Well, let's do it first, you shouldn't be qualified to enter the prince's dinner, I'll arrange a seat at the end of the invitation list for you at that time, and let's see the duke's means together."
"I'm sorry to bother you, Secretary Pocar."
