The Council!

His words were dismissed as mere ramblings before his death, and he could only struggle in vain as the two soldiers dragged him step by step toward the incinerator.

The once ambitious Brandt thus met his end.

All of this was naturally part of Chen Mo's plan!

After this period of development, the Resistance Organization's strength has expanded rapidly, and the large net that Chen Mo set up has been fully deployed and is now ready.

However, they still face a problem.

Within the Church, apart from the Pope, the true power holders are Vice Chairman Dupont and eleven other members of Council. Above the High Priest, they are the true rulers of Libya, and they are the ones who must be eliminated to overthrow the Church's rule.

However, they are each responsible for government, military, and Church affairs, and usually work in different buildings with very tight security. It would be difficult to eliminate them all at once due to the lack of manpower and force, and eliminating them one by one would definitely alert them. Therefore, the only way is to launch an attack when they are together and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

However, it is not easy to get them together. As the rulers at the top of the power pyramid, they rarely gather together unless there is a major event.

Chen Mo's plan was to give them a reason to get together for a meeting.

That's how everything that happened before came about.

Elo Partger deliberately exposed his true colors to Brandt, revealing that he was a love criminal and was hiding a banned book.

Normally, Brandt might have hesitated before reporting Chen Mo had become Gray Robe Cleric High Priest alongside him, deeply aroused him. Brandt, blinded by jealousy, no longer cared about anything else and only thought about seizing the opportunity to rise to the top in one step.

By exploiting Brandt's ambition and greed, Chen Mo lured him into a pre-ordained scenario and then used his Spatial Ability to frame Brandt at Elo Partger's house.

The couple, Airo Partger and his wife, originally had a lot of contraband in their home. In addition to Mary O'Brien's decorations and artworks, Airo Partger also had a large collection of books. However, having made preparations in advance, they had already cleared out and moved all the contraband, so no matter how they searched, they would not find anything.

However, J.A.R.V.I.S. used the internet to unlock the electronic lock on Brandt's house, and the Resistance Organization soldiers he had arranged secretly placed contraband and classified information in his home, confirming his crime of betraying the Church and joining the Resistance Organization.

The Brandt incident led to the conclusion that the Resistance Organization's infiltration of various departments of the Church could pose a threat to the Church, prompting DuPont to convene a Council meeting.

DuPont could never have imagined that the person who joined the Resistance Organization was not just a Gray Robe Cleric, but three High Priest!

Everything is proceeding according to Chen Mo's plan. All the councilors are arriving one after another. The three of them are not in a hurry to take action, but instead follow DuPont's previous orders to go downstairs.

Chen Mo and his two companions separated at the entrance of the Church building, each leading a squad of soldiers to the residences of other High Priest to conduct searches.

Upon arrival, the soldiers were left behind for a search, while Chen Mo and his two companions took the four High Priest directly back to the Church building and arranged for someone to conduct emotional tests on them.

The test would take a considerable amount of time, so Chen Mo and the other two did not stay to supervise it personally, but instead left the test room together.

Upper floors of the Church building, the Council chamber.

Dozens of fully armed soldiers, dressed in black leather trench coats and fully enclosed helmets, stood guard at the entrance to the Council hall and along the corridors leading to it.

At this moment, sitting in the Council hall behind them was the Jehovah Council, the de facto ruler of Libya and the highest authority under the Pope.

At the large round conference table, all twelve Church councilors had arrived, and DuPont, sitting in the chief speaker's seat, began to explain the reason for convening this Council.

"Ladies and gentlemen, just now, the grey-robed priest Brant has been confirmed as a sentimental criminal who attempted to frame other high priests."

DuPont looked at the crowd in front of him and said with a serious expression.

"All indications suggest that he has joined the Resistance Organization and is helping them recruit members in the government and the army."

Upon hearing that the Resistance Organization, which they had always underestimated, had actually extended its reach into the Jehovah Clerics and had begun using traitors to frame other priests, the faces of the councilors changed.

They quickly realized the seriousness of the situation; the Jehovah Clerics were their strongest support in maintaining their rule, and they could not afford any mistakes.

Only after learning from DuPont that Chen Mo and the other two were confirmed to be safe and that the remaining four High Priest were being tested and searched did everyone breathe a slight sigh of relief.

"We don't know exactly how many Resistance Organization members are still in each department, but one thing is certain: the Resistance Organization has posed a threat to the Church's stable rule, and Libya needs a major purge!"

DuPont's voice was full of coldness. Once this massive purge targeting the Resistance Organization and involving the entire country of Libya begins, given the Church's ruthless approach of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free," tens of thousands of people will die!

However, the councilors didn't care how many people would die. As long as they could maintain the Church's rule and protect their ruling position and interests, it didn't matter how many people died.

Just as the Church leaders inside the Council hall began discussing the details of the upcoming large-scale cleanup operation, two tall, cold figures dressed in black priest robes suddenly appeared at the end of the opposite corridor outside the tightly closed doors of the Council hall, striding towards the Council hall along the wide corridor.

The two men had cold expressions and aggressive demeanor, clearly indicating that they had come with ill intentions. However, the soldiers guarding both sides of the corridor seemed not to see them at all, standing straight in place, not glancing to the side, and ignoring the two men in front of them.

Upon reaching the entrance of the Council hall, the two forcefully pushed open the heavy and ornate doors of the Council and stepped inside. Through the open doors, they could see that Vice Chairman Dupont and a group of members of parliament, who were in the middle of a meeting, were startled and turned around with frowns and displeasure.

DuPont frowned as he looked at the two people standing at the door, clearly very displeased with their unauthorized intrusion. However, as if he had thought of something, DuPont asked in a deep voice.

"Cleric Preston, what's wrong?"

His response was four pistols that suddenly appeared in the hands of the two men, and the dark muzzles of the guns pointed at him.

DuPont's eyes narrowed sharply upon seeing this, and the events of the day flashed through his mind.
