C229 Mafia

"Lin Bai, just how many evil deeds have you done? The Priest actually said that you have committed too many sins and that you can't even hold the number one cathedral in all of history?"

After Shen Xiaoyi heard what the two priests said, she asked while looking at Lin Bai with a smile.

"A bad thing is just killing people and setting fire to their gold belts, doing things like forcing people to buy and sell abducting women. "Xiaoyi, I think your appearance is very good. You should be able to sell it for a good price!" Lin Bai pretended to be an evil person as he threatened Shen Xiaoyi.

"Master, you are a martial arts expert. You are peerless in this world. You can even do evil in this church. This is truly admirable!" After flattering him, Shang Zhuo raised his wrist to look at the time and continued, "Master, when I came, my family's old man asked me to go meet that big client in the business. Do you want to come with me?"

"Sure, let's go together and see how the lives of the rich overseas are like." Lin Bai nodded his head in agreement with a smile.

The small boat slowly moved across the dark river. Lin Bai stared at the layout of the buildings from a gap in the roof. Although his expression was incomparably calm, his heart was in turmoil.

Lin Bai's confession to the church was naturally not as simple as it seemed. After entering the small black room, he opened his Heaven's Eyes and observed the flow of elemental energy within the church. In the end, he discovered a shocking truth.

Not only did the cathedral suppress the destiny of the Italian peninsula, but there was also an extremely strange fluctuation revolving within the cathedral. Even with Lin Bai's level, he was unable to see through the origin of the strange energy wave. He could only roughly guess just how powerful it was and how it came from. However, if he tried to deduce further, it would only be pitch-black.

Lin Bai admitted that he had great means in the field of photographic skills, but as soon as he left the country, he realized that it was impossible for him to follow the route he had set at home. Moreover, according to the standard of this cathedral, there was probably someone who was not weaker than him among the foreign masters.

If there were any conflicts in Europe, such as the one between Zhang Jingyin and him that night, could he really guarantee that he would be able to escape unscathed?! Even if he was skilled in the art of a crosstalk, able to keep his life in the competition, this was Europe, not his territory. If those enemies used other methods, the danger would still exist.

The worst thing was, he still didn't know anything about the enemies who were hiding in the darkness. Why was the chance of the heavens deceived to such a degree? What was the strange energy wave in the cathedral then? Lin Bai's heart was filled with doubt as well as a hint of fear.

While he was thinking about this, the boat gradually left the bustling downtown area and arrived at the small pier in front of the wealthy merchant's house. The whole city of Venice is a river. There were no cars, no bicycles, no traffic lights. The boat was the only means of transportation in the city. With the exception of the boat, all means of transport are prohibited.

The mansion was huge, so big that Lin Bai found it inconceivable. Even though Lin Bai had already felt luxurious when he saw He Shaoyu's villa back in the country, he felt that He Shaoyu's villa was just a small matter after seeing the foreigner's villa.

This house no longer belonged to the villa, so it would be more suitable to call it a castle. The white wooden fence extended along the two sides of the gate, and one could barely see the end of it. He looked through the white fence and saw a huge garden. The branches were growing and the rain water on the vines was shining under the light.

Behind the garden was the castle and villa. The city wall was five to six meters tall, and its mottled old walls were filled with creeper and other vines. On the walls of the villa, there were even countless stone carvings, which were exceptionally exquisite, exuding a strong sense of ancient history and culture.

Looking at this villa, Lin Bai was very tempted. He thought that after he returned home, he should spend some money to find a Feng Shui treasured land and build an ancient castle according to the design of this place. At that time, all villas would be trash. That would be the true grandeur.

At the entrance of the villa, there was a row of burly men in black suits and sunglasses holding umbrellas. In the center of the crowd, there was a beautiful woman holding an umbrella for a man in his forties.

The foreigners were different from the Chinese, the older they were, the older they were. The foreigner had a medium build, a high nose bridge, a bald forehead, and a beard that was gray at the temples.

He was dressed in a black suit, white shirt, and white bow tie just like the other bodyguards. Although his clothes didn't look special, he exuded a powerful aura, which made people feel a sense of respect for him.

He was the object of his invitation, the richest man in Italy, and the godfather of the Sicilian Peninsula: Jorva Frances.

Seeing Lin Bai coming over, Jova Francis rushed over with a warm smile on his face. He hugged Shang Zhuo Cai and started a big conversation. Although Lin Bai did not understand what the old man meant, he could tell from the old man's expression that he was probably talking in a pleasing manner.

They were led into the castle by Giovanni Francis. Seeing that the old man was being supported by that beautiful woman at the side, yet his footsteps were still as dashing as before, some doubts surfaced in Lin Bai's heart. How could this old man, so old and worn out, stamp his feet so hard that the whole Sicilian Peninsula would tremble?!

Judging from the appearance of the old man, this man was a little weak. How could such a person become a domineering mafia? But no matter what, this Jova Francis gave Lin Bai a pretty good first impression. At the very least, it had the air of a gentleman.

The interior decorations of the castle were almost the same as the outside, all using wooden floors, and the staircase was also made of complicated iron. Whether it was the decorations of the house or the daily necessities, they all retained a strong classical style.

The servant served coffee to the people in the room and left the room. The only ones left in the living room were Jova Francis, the beautiful woman and Lin Bai. Fortunately, both of them were familiar with Italian and thus, there was no need for an interpreter to explain it to them.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Joanna Francis pointed to the beautiful woman beside him and introduced her, "This is a theologian I've found from far away in northern Europe, Lucy. He asked her to help me with some business matters. "Zhuo Cai, you guys can get to know each other. It should be very helpful to the future development of your Shang Clan!"

The beautiful woman lightly nodded her head in greeting, but when her gaze landed on Lin Bai, a hint of bewilderment flashed past her eyes, as though she had met with some difficulty.

"Zhuo Cai, there is something I'm sorry to have to inform you of. The transaction between your Shang Family and I might be cancelled! " After taking a sip of the coffee in front of him, he said in a light tone.

With that, the living room immediately became quiet, leaving only the patter of an old clock on the wall as it moved.

As soon as he heard these words, the smile on his face froze, and he frowned as he looked at Qiao Wa Francis in panic. This time, the Shang family had a huge business deal with Qiao Wa Francis. It could even be said that this was the Shang family's first gamble to bet all their family assets! Now that Giovanni Francis had suddenly said that he was out of business, he was asking for the life of the Shang family!

"Mr. Francis, I thought you and my grandfather discussed the business. Why would such a big change happen?" Shang Zhuo Cai's hands were tightly clenched. His palms were full of oily sweat as he asked with a trembling voice while staring at Qiao Wa Francis.

Joanna Francis waved his hand: "Child isn't this the way to do business? We have no way to change something like this." This time, it's my fault. I will make it up to you when I get the chance in the future! "

"No!" We've already signed the contract, and you're breaking it. You're going to be punished! " He wiped the sweat from his forehead and glared at Jorva Francis.

Giovanni Francis said nothing, smiled, and shook his head. He placed the coffee cup gently to the side, then picked up a small metal box that was emitting some light. He opened it and took out a messy stack of papers.

Then he took his lighter out of his pocket with his other hand and lightly lit one end of the pile of white paper. The flame soared high into the air, and in an instant, the contract filled with his name, the old monk's name, turned into a pile of black ashes.

"Child, you know who you're talking to right now. In the Sicilian Peninsula, no one has ever dared to talk about punishment before me! " Qiao Wa Francis coldly smiled and used his feet to trample the ashes on the ground. He chuckled: "If you continue to talk about punishment or something like that in front of me, I believe you will never see tomorrow's sun!"

Shang Zhuo bit his lips and stared at the bald man who was threatening him. He felt that the black shadow behind this man was like a ferocious beast hiding in the darkness, ready to swallow him at any moment!

The living room was completely silent. Shen Xiaoyi nervously stared at the two people in front of her. Lin Bai, who was sitting beside her, had a relaxed expression on his face. There was even a trace of a smile on his face.
