Nathan was watching the international news in Riverside Garden, Channing.
At that time, Eugene IV's announcement of the next Holy Maiden was being broadcasted on television.
Relieved, Penny said softly, “This is good. As long as Queenie doesn't have the Holy Maiden title attached to her, she is free from all the evil ones.”
“And so it seems Pope Eugene kept his promise,” Nathan said.
Colin could not help but ask, “Mr. Cross, the Curia called again. They wanted to know your decision.”
Previously, Eugene IV had requested Nathan to help him reveal Max's identity as a vampire.
At that time, Nathan had said he would think about it.
After two days, Eugene IV's patient was running out. He eagerly wanted to know if Nathan would lend the Curia a hand.
Normally, Nathan would not be interested in regular matters, but the deal involved Max, an enemy of Eurasia and the mastermind behind the Eight-Nation Alliance.
Besides, Max had turned into a dangerous vampire.
Nathan had the thought of getting rid of him to avoid dire consequences later.
He grunted and said to Colin, “I won't give a damn if it was somebody else, but Max is exceptionally dangerous. Tell Pope Eugene I can help the Curia to expose Max.”
Colin responded, “Yes, Mr. Cross!”
Immediately, he contacted the Curia and conveyed Nathan's message.
Eugene IV was delighted that Nathan was willing to support him.
On the same day, he instructed Hepburn to lead a troop consisting of bishops, Holy Knights as well as the War Gods of the Light, Daveth and Betty, to depart discreetly in a private jet for Eurasia and meet Nathan.
It was already ten at night when Hepburn and the rest arrived in Channing, Eurasia.
After quickly settling down in the hotel, Hepburn went to see Nathan alongside Daveth and Betty.
She wanted to discuss how to enter Malarnor and reveal Max's true identity.
Nathan received his guests in the living room.
