Villain: Glory bows to me

The funeral begins.

Vito handed over the hosting task to Zhu Shang, while he led Catherine over and held the resting ceremony.

Catherine burst into tears when she saw her parents transformed from two broken skeletons into what they looked like in life.

She didn't expect that Vito would be willing to organize the funeral to this extent. This was already a great kindness to her.

So Vito's status in Catherine's heart once again reached another peak.

However, what Vito did next shocked Catherine even more and left her speechless.

Vito took out two secret orders in front of all the guests and began to read them out.

“Everyone, please witness with me that these two secret orders were issued by the late king and the king respectively.

You may also be curious about who is the protagonist of today's funeral.

The two of them were actually the late king's secret envoys. Due to a certain mission, they had to bear the charge of rebellion and escaped and got married, and this lady was their daughter.

Through the suicide note left by the late king, we learned that this couple became traitors reviled by everyone in order to break into Wanling City.

All this was to help the late king detect the movements of Wanling City, and the rebellion happened anyway.

But Duke Yelena found out about this, and she killed them in the name of helping the late king deal with the traitors.

Everyone, there are many heroes like this who silently contribute to Huiyuan Country, but we have no way of knowing.

That’s why I will redress the grievances of these two heroes today, so that their efforts cannot be wasted.

This is a secret order given to me by the king, asking me to rehabilitate this couple, and at the same time, because what they did is in line with the creed of our Lantern Cult, which is to burn their own lives for the sake of the peace of the country and the world.

So I decided here to canonize these two as martyrs and build reliefs for them in the cathedral so that everyone can remember their names.

Everyone, please remember the names of these two heroes and martyrs, Mr. Louis and Miss Katie! "

As Vito finished speaking, Chris untied a piece of white cloth hanging on the cathedral, which was engraved with a relief of the couple's portrait.

Catherine could no longer control her emotions and knelt directly on Vito and kowtowed to Vito.

Vito understood that Catherine's heart now completely belonged to him, and all these efforts were finally in vain.

The funeral will continue, but Vito is no longer involved. He is not very good at comforting people, and he doesn't really want to overwhelm others, so the matter is left to Catherine and Zhu Shang.

He himself left the cathedral with Paul.

The destination this time was still the remote tavern. Vito knew that Gaither must still be celebrating his victory in the tavern.

When they arrived at the tavern, the owner of the tavern saw Vito coming and quickly ordered the place to be cleared. However, Vito just waved his hand nonchalantly to stop the owner.

He said that he just came to catch up with people and let everyone in the pub drink in peace. Today he will pay the bill.

Then Vito went straight to Gaither, who was sitting in a small corner, and used magic to isolate the small corner, while Paul stayed at the door to take care of security.

"You don't have any intention of inviting you to drink?"

Vito came to Gaither with a smile on his face, but Gaither gave him a mocking expression in return.

"Your Holiness, I think you are too much of a pariah to get angry even after being humiliated like this. It's really sad."

Faced with Gaither's ridicule, Vito still didn't get angry.

"Okay, there's no need to make the relationship between us so tense. Just think of me as your old friend. It's normal for an old friend to invite you to drink, right?"

"Vito, if you fart, let it go. If you don't say anything, I will leave."

Gaither snorted, still not giving Vito face.

At this point, Vito no longer bothered to pretend to be a good friend, and he said something intriguing.

"The pendant on your waist is very nice. It is indeed a good thing made by a noble lady."

Gaither was stunned immediately, but he quickly regained his composure, as if nothing had happened.

"I do not know what you're talking about."

Facing Gaither who was pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, Vito did not expose him. Instead, he poured a glass of wine and continued talking.

"It's normal not to know. After all, you are not an official or a noble, so naturally you don't know about some important things.

The daughter of the Minister of Finance, Miss Julie, is about to get married to our dear Wang Luoli.

All the officials and nobles knew about this matter, and I also chose the wedding day.

However, my people got some information. This finance minister is very close to Duke Wagner, and he has always been against me.

So, do you think there is any similarity between this wedding and the wedding of the former head of the Knights? After all, I am the king's master, and I have to think about the king. "

Vito's words were a direct threat to Gaither.

He had long known Gaither's weakness, and she happened to be the only daughter of the finance minister who opposed him every day.

Since Vito's family was extremely wealthy, he didn't care who took the position of Minister of Finance, so Vito had long been interested in killing him.

Now that he controls the government, he can kill whoever he wants as long as he finds a legitimate excuse.

This is the right given to them by the two kings. All they have to do is to explain to the people.

But Gaither could no longer remain calm. He stood up suddenly and grabbed Vito's collar, only to find that the violent energy in Vito's body made him weak.

"I came here today not to fight with you, but just to make a bet with you.

Let's take a gamble and see if the Finance Minister has any intentions of rebellion. The bet is Miss Julie's life, oh no, it should be the life of her whole family. "

Vito effortlessly pulled Gaither's hand away and tossed an invitation to Gaither.

"This is the last banquet held at the Chancellor's residence before the wedding. Go and say goodbye to her."

After saying that, Vito stood up and left.

"Vito, if you dare to touch her even a hair, I will definitely kill you until I die!"

Gaither was furious.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, the prophet who once deceived powerful people on the street and faced death threats without a blush or a heartbeat, is actually so out of his mind today.

Alas, the reason is that it is for a woman. Gaither, I am very disappointed in you. "

Vito laughed and walked out of the tavern.

Gaither also crushed the wine glass in his hand, and the pain of the glass piercing his skin made his brain, which was overwhelmed by anger, clearer.

He knew he couldn't wait any longer, so he immediately picked up the invitation and prepared to attend the banquet.

For Gaither, even if it was the Hongmen Banquet arranged by Vito for him, he would definitely go to the meeting.

Gaither thought of the beautiful and kind noble lady, when he was not completely blind.

When he was about to starve to death, he was rescued by Julie. Julie was the only one who didn't mind him being dirty and even cooked and changed clothes for him.

These were also the happiest days of Gaither's life.

At that time, Julie was also suffering from terrible diseases.

In order to repay his kindness and let Julie find the prescription, Gaither even blinded himself and peeked into the secret, finally pulling Julie back from the hands of death.

After Julie recovered, Gaither left, taking only the pendant left by Julie. He didn't want to lower Julie's status himself, nor did he want to implicate Julie in God's punishment.

In his heart, Julie was his White Moonlight, and Gaither would not allow anyone to hurt her.

"Vito, I won't let you succeed!"

Gaither took his hard-earned money to the clothing store, put on a set of decent and gorgeous clothes, and walked towards the finance minister's mansion.

This time, he was willing to use his life in exchange for Julie's escape from Vito's plan.
