After what had happened, they dared not trust anyone at this moment, including their colleagues. Only by seeing the Pope in person, confirming his safety and situation, and receiving his personal orders could they be completely at ease!

John Preston and Elo Partger exchanged a glance, unsure of what to do. Should they say the Pope was not seeing anyone? The four men in front of them clearly wouldn't accept that, since they weren't their superiors and might just barge in.

But the Pope was already dead, and his body was in the bag behind them. If they had let them go up earlier, they would have been exposed.

If all else fails, we'll have to kill them!

However, it was two against four at this point. Even if John Preston was the strongest among the High Priest, I didn't mean he could take on three opponents at once.

Just as the two were caught in a dilemma, the miniature communication earpieces in their ears suddenly rang.

"Let them come up."

It turned out that Chen Mo had learned about the situation from J.A.R.V.I.S..

Chen Mo originally wanted to take a shortcut and just fool J.A.R.V.I.S., but he didn't expect that these High Priest were not so easy to fool. Normally it would be fine, but for such an important matter, they had to see the Pope in person and make sure his safety before they could feel at ease.

As the savior, father of the nation, and spiritual icon of the Libya people, the years of indoctrination have not been in vain. Everyone's loyalty to the Pope is unshakeable. In the movie, even after the Pope's death, DuPont, who succeeded him, still ruled in the name of the Pope, which shows the Pope's influence.

In fact, Chen Mo had initially considered killing the Pope and taking his place. However, the Pope lived a secluded life and was heavily guarded. Killing him would be easy, but doing so silently would be impossible. Once he made a move, he would inevitably alert the guards and priests. Even if he eliminated everyone, he would not be able to control the Church smoothly, and there would be no place to learn Gun Fu.

It would be better to infiltrate the priests step by step, learn Gun Fu first, and gradually gain some manpower to help him take over the Church smoothly.

John Preston and Elo Partger received Chen Mo's orders, but they thought that Chen Mo intended to lure the four of them up so that the three of them could work together to kill them. Judging from Chen Mo's performance of killing a hundred members of the Pope's personal guard and defeating the Pope, Chen Mo's strength far exceeded that of the two of them. With their assistance, killing four High Priest should not be a problem.

But don't forget, the Pope's body was also placed in the elevator along with the bodies of other guards. The Pope's body was of great importance and had to be personally taken to be cremated to ensure its safety. Otherwise, if the Pope's death were discovered, many changes would inevitably occur, and the situation would not be so easy to control.

"Pastor Patjee is escorting the body, and Preston is bringing his men up."

Upon receiving Chen Mo's further orders, the two immediately ceased their hesitation. John Preston withdrew his gaze from the group and nodded to them.

"His Holiness the Pope also wishes to see you. Please come with me."

John Preston and Elo Partjae obeyed Chen Mo's orders not because of Chen Mo's strength, but because that night in the underground base, Chen Mo revealed himself to be a "mysterious ally" of the Resistance Organization.

At first, Jurgen and the others couldn't believe that their all-powerful "ally" was just one person. It wasn't until Chen Mo called J.A.R.V.I.S. to perform some operations in front of them that they accepted the fact.

This world was technologically advanced before World War III, and naturally had Artificial Intelligence. Although it wasn't as powerful as J.A.R.V.I.S., it wasn't entirely unacceptable.

Even after learning that Chen Mo was the "mysterious ally" who had been secretly helping them develop, Jurgen and the others still had no objections to the plan proposed by Chen Mo.

In the past period, Chen Mo had already proved his strength with facts. The development that the Resistance Organization has made during this period is something that Jurgen never dared to imagine before. They have been waiting for this day to come. Didn't they establish the Resistance Organization to overthrow the brutal rule of the Church?

Now this day has finally come!

Based on his previous great achievements, Chen Mo easily obtained command of the operation. If Chen Mo hadn't refused, Jurgen would have been willing to hand over the leadership position to him.

Chen Mo was leaving soon, so what use was the leader's position to him? He refused without hesitation.

Upon receiving Chen Mo's order, John Preston signaled to four High Priest to follow him into the elevator.

While everyone was in a standoff, the Church soldiers who had joined the Resistance Organization had already moved the bodies out of the elevator.

The four High Priest glanced at the body bags piled to the side, but showed no intention of going over to examine them; seeing the Pope was the most important thing right now.

After watching the elevator doors close, Airo Partger directed the soldiers to transport the body to the crematorium, his attention focused entirely on the bag containing the Pope's body.

Led by John Peston, four High Priest took the elevator to the 121st floor. Although the remaining corpses had all been bagged and sealed, the bloodstains on the ground had not yet been cleaned up. A thick layer of bright red blood that had not yet congealed covered the entire ground, turning the ground outside the elevator into a bright and glaring red.

This made the four even more worried about the Pope's safety.

Treading through pools of blood, the four followed John Preston to the door of the Pope's office.

John Peston stopped at the door and gestured for the four of them to go inside.

In fact, according to normal procedures, meeting the Pope requires a rigorous search and test, and the surrender of all weapons. However, this was a special time, with a rebellion just taking place, and the four men were unsure of the Pope's safety, so it was impossible for them to hand over their weapons.

John Preston didn't waste any more words, simply letting the four of them go in on their own while he stayed behind, preparing to attack them from both sides with Chen Mo.

As the four men pushed open the door and walked inside, John Preston's body tensed, ready to fire his dual pistols and join Chen Mo in the attack.

However, the gunshot he was waiting for never came, and the four men's next move surprised John Preston.

The four men pushed open the door and entered the Pope's office, but instead of being attacked by Chen Mo as he had expected, they showed no signs of distress. Instead, they excitedly strode forward to the center of the rotunda and knelt down on one knee.

"Greetings, Your Pope!"
