Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 3068

Hepburn's expression looked pinched, and she sighed pensively. “I can't change the Curia's decision.”

“The dark clans will surely go after Mr. Cross' daughter after she is crowned as the future Holy Maiden, attempting to kill her, consume her blood, or even use her in evil rituals.”

“Let's hope he will keep his daughter safe.”

“Don't worry, Holy Maiden. Mr. Cross is the chosen one and the God of War. He will protect Queenie,” replied Milo. “The Curia considers it our obligation to try our best to protect the future Holy Maiden as well.”

Hepburn used to be a devout disciple of the Curia, but now she felt disgusted.

The Curia coveted Nathan's power and tried to intertwine their interests with his by bestowing Queenie the title of the future Holy Maiden.

The title came with the risk of constantly being an assassination target, putting Queenie in danger anytime.

The Curia, on the other hand, righteously claimed that it was their sacred duty to protect Queenie.

As the current Holy Maiden of the Curia, she felt her gorge rising.

Milo was right.

Eugene IV did send someone to take over Hepburn's unfinished tasks.

Hepburn's private jet had left Eurasia not long before another plane belonging to the Curia touched down in an airport at Channing.

A middle-aged woman with short auburn hair stalked out of the plane, accompanied by several subordinates.

She was the most renowned cardinal among hundreds of cardinals in the Curia, known as Laura, the Killer Cardinal.

Laura had an iron-willed character and was merciless toward dark clans. She was willing to sacrifice everything to fight them, believing that it was worthwhile to do so at any cost.

Thus, her vehemence and cruelty earned her the moniker of Killer Cardinal.

She was wearing a trench coat, the ends of her hair curling around like stringy snakes, giving her an aggressive appearance.
