"Everyone, are you willing to listen to the teachings of God?"
Kaecilius's face was as kind as ever. If it weren't for the pile of mob bosses lying on the floor, the atmosphere would have had a touch of sacredness.
A few pretty words indeed couldn't change Hell's Kitchen, but relying on who had the bigger fist could very well change it.
As it happened, at least now, these mob bosses were willing to listen to the Great Father's teachings.
"Reverend sir, please explain the doctrines of the Great Father. We are all very willing to learn."
Murphy struggled to get up, fawning over Kaecilius with a flattering expression. The other mob bosses were the same.
There was no choice. This Reverend was too terrifying. With a wave of his hand, they all fell down instantly, completely unable to fight back.
Although they were mobsters, anyone who had risen in the ranks among them was not stupid. After witnessing such power, how could they dare to resist?
No matter what he said today, it would be right!
"Mr. Murphy, thank you for your understanding and acceptance." Kaecilius replied with a smile, a hint of relief in his eyes.
He walked slowly to the center of the conference room and suddenly changed his tone: "However, the Great Father hates poison dogs the most, let alone those who create them. You are not worthy of entering the Great Father's Heaven!"
Kaecilius's words were like cold, sharp blades, instantly cutting through the warmth and harmony in the room.
His gaze became sharp and cold. Those mob bosses who still held onto a sliver of hope turned pale as paper upon hearing the words "poison dog."
"Among you, how many hands are stained with the blood of the innocent? How many have pushed others into the abyss for money and profit?"
Kaecilius's voice was deep and powerful, each word like a heavy hammer striking everyone's heart.
His gaze swept across the crowd, finally settling on those mob bosses who were involved with the powder.
Their eyes began to dart around nervously. Some were filled with fear, others with despair, and some tried to cover their inner panic with fawning smiles.
As for resisting, they wanted to, but they couldn't even stand up right now. How could they resist?
"The Great Father is merciful, but His mercy has a bottom line. For those who have completely abandoned humanity and harmed society, His wrath will be as unstoppable as a raging fire."
As Kaecilius spoke, he slowly raised his hands, and a dazzling light began to gather in his palms.
"Today, I will represent the Great Father and judge you!" With a roar, the light shot out like lightning, instantly striking the mob bosses who sold the powder.
They didn't even have time to scream before they were torn to shreds by the powerful magical energy, dissipating into black smoke in the air.
The entire conference room fell into a deathly silence, with only Kaecilius's cold and firm voice echoing. "Remember, no matter where you are, no matter how much power you possess, if you violate the teachings of the Great Father, you will ultimately receive the punishment you deserve."
After the punishment, more than half of the mob bosses in the conference room were gone. Including Murphy, those poison dogs died miserably.
The profit from selling powder was so high that they couldn't help but be tempted. After all, they couldn't get involved in other high-profit businesses like avocados.
However, Xia Ling didn't like these things. No matter what reason you had, if you sold powder, there was nothing else to say. Just go die obediently.
Among the surviving mob bosses, hot-tempered Jack and experienced Aiden survived. Although few, the "Golden Spirit" surprisingly still had a market.
At the very least, there was a basic bottom line.
After the slaughter, the surviving mob bosses looked at each other, filled with both shock and fear, but also a sense of unspeakable relief.
"Reverend sir, we... we are willing to repent." Jack, the hot-tempered mob boss, was the first to break the silence. His voice trembled but was firm. "We are willing to give up those dirty businesses and find new paths."
Aiden, the experienced and profound wise man, also nodded slowly in agreement. "Yes, since the Great Father has given us a chance to be reborn, we should cherish it. The darkness of Hell's Kitchen cannot continue. We need to change."
Kaecilius's eyes flashed with approval at their words.
After dealing with these mob bosses, the obstacles to preaching in Hell's Kitchen were greatly reduced.
As for Kingpin, Kaecilius had no intention of dealing with him for now.
After all, that person was not just a mob boss. Unlike these dregs of society, their deaths wouldn't cause any problems.
Kingpin's real name was Wilson Grant Fisk. He was an extremely successful businessman who had carefully invested his illegal earnings into legitimate businesses, building a vast commercial empire and possessing immense social influence.
Going after him now would be too conspicuous.
"Since you sincerely repent, the Merciful Father will naturally forgive your sins."
Kaecilius's voice became much gentler. He continued, "Since I have shown you the severity of the Great Father, it is time to show you His mercy."
Jack and Aiden exchanged glances, not understanding what reward this Reverend could offer them.
"You two, come forward."
Upon hearing Kaecilius's command, the bodies of the two mob bosses seemed to regain their strength, and they suddenly stood up.
Their eyes held a hint of fear as they looked at Kaecilius, but they had no choice but to brace themselves and step forward.
"I will bestow a portion of the Great Father's blessings upon you. Only the devout can receive greater rewards."
With that, Kaecilius waved his hand, and green light flew around the two of them.
Under everyone's gaze, an incredible miracle descended at that moment.
The aged Aiden's face, full of wrinkles, seemed to be smoothed out instantly. His skin became smooth and plump.
The hot-tempered Jack felt a great comfort in his chest. The internal damage caused by years of excessive smoking and drinking seemed to be healed at this moment, and his entire body felt much lighter.
At this point, there was no doubt for the two of them.
The Reverend before them must be an envoy of God, an angel of the Great Father.
And that Great Father must be an infinitely benevolent deity. They would serve Him forever and, after death, would reach His kingdom and surround Him!
The excitement of the onlookers was no less than that of the two. Seeing the miracle descend, they all knelt down, praying devoutly to the Great Father.
Watching this scene, Kaecilius smiled. The Sovereign Lord's mission had finally made significant progress. Now, it was time to make this city convert to the Great Sovereign Lord.
