As a villain, I really can't become stronger anymore

Panagiotis' heart had silently fallen to the bottom.

He looked between Ron and Christian and noticed Panagiotis's gaze. Although he didn't know the man, from the way he was dressed, he knew he should be a high-ranking official in the church and one of Christian's more important subordinates.

Ron will still give this little face.

So Ron smiled and nodded at Panagiotis as a greeting.

Facing Ron's smile, Panagiotis forced a smile that was uglier than crying and nodded slightly in response.

As for Christian, his golden eyes were fixed on Ron from beginning to end, as if he didn't even notice the presence of Panagiotis next to him.

That gentle look.

That gaze full of affection.

And there is an atmosphere filled with happiness.

Panagiotis saw all of this for the first time on the face of the Great Saint.

It turned out that her smile was not directed at herself.

It turned out that Virgil was not kidding when he told himself that Saint Christiane had always had a lover. This saint with a cold personality and stunning beauty already had someone in her heart.

There is a scorching sun above my head.

But Panagiotis felt an indescribable coldness all over his body, and even his soul was about to be frozen. It was the first time in his life that he fell in love with a woman, but in the end he lost so completely.

Just by looking at Christian's eyes Panagiotis knew that he would never have another chance in this life.

But Panagiotis was not an ordinary man after all. Although he was sad, he quickly adjusted his mentality and looked at Ron again. He wanted to see what was so special about this man that he could be favored by the Great Saint.

But after a careful examination, Panagiotis frowned.

He didn't think there was anything special about this man.

Isn't it just that he is a little younger, taller, and more handsome than me...

In short, he was just an ordinary man, nothing big. He really couldn't see how such a man could be qualified to win the heart of the Great Saint.

He shook his head vigorously, suppressed the strange thoughts that emerged in his mind, then cleared his throat and looked at Ron: "Sir... I am Panagiotis, the Archbishop of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn. May I know your name?"

"I am Ron..." Ron nodded: "The Church of the Goddess of Dawn... uh..."

Soon, Ron scratched his hair and looked at Christian in confusion: "What is my role in the church?"

"Pastor?"

"If I remember correctly, I seem to have a senior priest certificate issued by the Grand Saint herself."

Christian also thought of something and couldn't help but chuckle with his hands covering his mouth. That smile made Panagiotis feel helpless. The Great Saint usually looked cold and aloof, and it was the first time he saw so many expressions on the Great Saint's face.

It turns out that Her Highness the Great Saint is not always serious.

She just didn't see anyone who could make her smile.

"What do you think about becoming the honorary pope?" Christian tilted his head and said, "If you want to be the pope, that's fine. I think Virgil wouldn't mind giving up the position to you."

Panagiotis' lips couldn't help but tremble violently.

What do these two people mean?

Even though Panagiotis had always admired Christian, he felt that the Saint was going too far at this time.

That is the supreme and honorable position of the Pope.

How can you make a decision so frivolously?

Even if it's a joke, it's blasphemy.

Ron looked helpless and spread his hands: "Please, spare me. You know I don't have that much time to deal with the messy trivialities in the church."

He also refused.

Panagiotis felt like he was going crazy.

He has never been as confused as he is now. What is going on?

Why is the position of the Pope so casual to these two people as if it were a child playing house? Why don't they have the slightest desire or pursuit for the position of the Pope?

There is no respect at all?

It seems that, for them, becoming the Pope is just a very easy and trivial thing?

It is normal for Saint Christian to have such an attitude. After all, she now holds all the authority of the church. Who the Pope is is just a matter of a word from her. But why does Ron have the right to do so?

He just said that he was just a senior pastor?

Since when did senior pastors have such a big say in the church?

"How's Virgil doing lately?" Ron said, "I haven't seen him for a while."

"That guy has a very comfortable life. The nun brought from Larnaca serves him very well every day." Christian smiled softly. In front of Ron, he always put aside all his manners and was particularly relaxed. "There are also many girls at the church headquarters who have a special liking for Virgil."

"This guy is pretty good. Although he is not very serious, he will never do anything beyond the line."

Ron nodded. "That's good. I was really worried that this guy would kill all the nuns in the church and make the Church of the Goddess of Dawn a mess."

Listening to the conversation between Ron and Christian, Panagiotis finally couldn't help it.

He felt that this man was going too far, and Ron's words lacked the most basic respect for the Pope.

Although Panagiotis did not like Virgil's character many times, he recognized Virgil's ability. Moreover, Virgil was now the acting pope anyway, and it would not be long before he could actually wear the papal crown.

The Pope is looked down upon, and the glory of the entire Church is damaged.

Panagiotis didn't know why Saint Christian could be so calm, but as a clergyman of the church, he had to maintain the reputation of the church no matter what.

His brows were already tightly knitted together. Seeing that Christian still had no intention of reprimanding Ron, Panagiotis finally couldn't help it. He coughed softly and said, "Sir, be careful with your words."

"Acting Pope Virgil is the future Pope of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn. No matter who you are, please show the most basic respect to His Holiness the Pope."

Panagiotis' voice was a little harsh.

Ron was slightly stunned, then he realized that although he and Virgil were good brothers, this was a church after all, and it was not a good thing to openly ridicule the future Pope in the church.

Ron was not the unreasonable guy. When he heard this, he wanted to apologize on the spot.

However, before Ron could speak, Christian's face beside him suddenly darkened.

Compared to Ron, Christian didn't think so much. She only knew that she had finally met Ron and could chat with him casually and reminisce about the past. However, such a rare opportunity was ruined by Panagiotis.

Didn't the future vice-pope realize that neither himself nor Ron really wanted to pay attention to him?

Why is this guy still here? Doesn’t he have any ability to read people’s expressions?

"Mr. Panagiotis, if I remember correctly, as the deputy pope, you should have a lot of things to do, right? Why do you still have time to stay here and listen to me and Ron chatting?"

"If you feel that you are unable to shoulder the responsibilities of the Vice Pope, please let me know clearly. I can arrange for someone else to take over your job."

The gentleness she had shown towards Ron had completely disappeared. Christian's pretty face was cold, and her voice was like the cracking of ice. In a trance, Panagiotis even felt that the temperature around him had dropped out of thin air, and an invisible chill had enveloped his entire body.

The air exhaled from the nostrils turned into a light white mist, and even a layer of white frost appeared on the ends of the hair and eyelashes.

Panagiotis' heart trembled slightly, and he couldn't help feeling a little sad. He knew that Saint Christian was really angry. He didn't understand why. Ron was the one who humiliated the Church of the Goddess of Dawn, and he was the one who maintained the glory of the church. Why did he become the disgusting one in the end?

He still felt a little aggrieved.

He probably already knew that the man Christian had always been thinking about was this Ron.

But even so, Christian is still the Grand Saint of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn. Just because the man who humiliated the Church of the Goddess of Dawn is her lover, can she forget her identity as the Grand Saint and ignore it?

I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

In Panagiotis's heart, the Great Saint should not be such an existence. She is elegant and beautiful, but also kind and strong. She is the pillar of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn. No matter what happens, no matter what changes happen in the Dusk Continent and Granville, she will protect the interests of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn at all costs.

But now, just for a mere man, the Great Saint gave up the principles she had always adhered to.

A strong feeling of disappointment filled Panagiotis' heart, making him feel depressed and uncomfortable. He didn't want to see the great saint whom he had always admired look like this.

This loss and disappointment also made Panagiotis's brain hot. He couldn't control his emotions all of a sudden. He took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, I know that it's not appropriate for me to say these words."

"I also know that this Mr. Ron is your lover."

"But I still want to remind you that you are the Great Saint of the Dawn Goddess Church. Even if she is your lover, you cannot casually damage the reputation of the Dawn Goddess Church. As the Great Saint, you must always protect the glory of the Dawn Goddess Church."

Panagiotis' words were very serious, and he did not relax at all because of the identity of the Great Saint Christian.

This guy is wholeheartedly devoted to the Church of the Goddess of Dawn.

What a pity, this mouth.

No wonder, he was stronger than Virgil and had better character than Virgil, but in the end Virgil was the Pope and he could only be the Vice Pope. This is the gap.

Ron also felt that what he said might have been a bit too much.

He had a very good relationship with Christian and Virgil, and no one would care if he made some harmless jokes on a normal day. He just accidentally forgot that there was someone next to him, and to Panagiotis' ears, what he said was simply an insult to the Church of the Goddess of Dawn.

At that moment, Ron was ready to apologize.

But before he could even utter a word, he suddenly felt that something was not right in Panagiotis' words.

Lover?

What does this guy mean?

When did I become Christian's lover?

Ron was thick-skinned and naturally didn't care about such rumors, but Christian was the Great Saint. Wouldn't such rumors be bad for her?

Subconsciously, Ron looked at Christian, and at that moment Christian was also looking at Ron. In an instant, their eyes met, and Ron could clearly see a red cloud suddenly emerging from Christian's neck, and almost instantly covered her entire handsome cheek. Her whole face was red, and for a moment, she actually lost the elegance and dignity of a great saint, and looked extremely cute.

That was not all. There was a barely perceptible hint of panic in her pair of golden eyes, and her gaze instantly drifted away to other places nearby, as if she was afraid to meet Ron's gaze.

Ron was stunned.

This reaction was obviously beyond Ron's expectations.

He thought Christian would be very angry when he heard this, but what the hell is shyness?

Suddenly, a flash of lightning seemed to flash through Ron's mind. At that moment, Ron felt as if a blessing had come to his mind, as if he understood everything at once.

He knew, this must have been intentional on Christian's part.

Well, yes, absolutely.

That makes sense. Although Christian is the Grand Saint of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn and the actual ruler of the strongest church among the seven orthodox religions, her status is no less honorable than that of Queen Dolores.

Such an identity is enough to discourage many men.

But Christian is so beautiful. Although she is not young anymore, time has not left any traces on her face. Instead, it makes her more charming. Her charming face and hot figure are enough to make every man crazy, and even make people subconsciously forget Christian's respected identity.

It can be imagined that when Apu was still around, although everyone knew that the relationship between Vice Pope Apu and Christian was very bad, and it was no exaggeration to say that they were mortal enemies, but daring to pursue Christian at this time meant that it was clear that she did not take Apu seriously, which would inevitably lead to Apu's tragic revenge.

However, after Apu died, the threat disappeared.

Christian's charm was fully revealed. All the suitors who had only dared to secretly pursue him in their hearts were about to come out in a swarm. What's more, Christian held enviable power. Whoever could marry Christian would save thirty years of hard work in his life. Even Christian's dark history as an egg crusher was not so important.

With this rate, the number of suitors would probably be countless.

I figured that circling Granville's royal city three times shouldn't be a problem at all.

Christian is a man who is extremely hot-tempered in battle, but is quite cold and calm on ordinary days.

There are so many suitors, but they are just pursuing him and have not done anything else excessive. Even with Christian's temper, it is impossible for him to kill all of them directly. He can only tolerate these shameless people buzzing in his ears like enduring mosquitoes and flies in summer.

After such a long time, I'm afraid the anger in Christian's chest has already become as hot as a volcano about to erupt.

It was under such circumstances that Christian deliberately made up a lie, claiming that he was her lover, hoping to use this very crude but very useful excuse to dispel the thoughts of these suitors.

Just like Panagiotis in front of him, it was at this moment that Ron realized how burning Panagiotis's gaze was when he occasionally looked at Christian. It was obvious that he was one of Christian's fanatical pursuers.

Christian didn't dare to look at her, and even looked away. It was obvious that he felt that his plan to use his name to drive away suitors was about to be exposed, and he felt embarrassed and didn't know how to face her.

Ron felt that his speculation made a lot of sense and it should basically be the truth.

After all, Christian is also his good friend.

If a good friend is in trouble, you should definitely help him if you can.

Ron felt that he was still very loyal. He must not show weakness at this time. He had to help Christian finish the lie perfectly.

At that moment, Ron suddenly stretched out his hand, and in front of Christian's surprised eyes, he hooked Christian's waist, which was not too slender but absolutely round and toned, and directly embraced the Great Saint into his arms, looking at Panagiotis with flaming eyes opposite him:

"Uh...lover, um, lover."

"Sir, you are right. The Great Saint is my woman. Is there any problem?"
