Before Fang lost his temper, Oliwier lowered his voice and said, “General Fang, Mr. Baccio is an important guest from abroad. Could you perhaps show some courtesy and be more lenient?”
He paused before continuing, “Everyone knows Mr. Cross has a good relationship with Pope Eugene. If things get ugly, it may affect Mr. Cross' friendship with Pope Eugene. I'm afraid that Mr. Cross will get upset about this.”
Fang was in a dilemma upon hearing that.
He did not want to let Eddie and the gang off.
Although Nathan had sent them to intercept and arrest Eddie and the gang, Nathan had also instructed them to handle it discreetly.
Now that Baccio was also there, there was no way Fang could handle it discreetly anymore.
Also, taking action against Eddie and the gang right in front of Baccio would undoubtedly make the situation uglier. Even the Curia would be displeased by then.
The relationship between the Curia and Eurasia would go sour as well.
Fang wondered if Nathan would blame him for doing things impulsively.
Besides, although Baccio had only shown a glimpse of his capabilities just now, it was enough to reveal his terrifying strength.
If Fang were to take down Eddie and the gang in front of Baccio, it was unlikely that Baccio would sit idly by.
He might not be a match for Baccio if Baccio stepped in.
Numerous factors were currently affecting Fang, putting him in a difficult position.
On the other hand, Eddie secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Baccio come to his rescue.
Seeing Fang's indecision, he even sneered, “Haha! Generals, you guys need to consider the big picture and prioritize the better good. It's just a few insignificant lives, yet they've caused us such a fuss. Now, take your men and get out of here. Don't get in our way and stop us from capturing the people inside.”
Fang was enraged when he heard that.
Just then, a sedan appeared in the distance.
The license plate of the sedan had caught everyone's attention. Fang instantly recognized it was Nathan's private vehicle.
Mr. Cross is here!
Fang, Destroyer, and Heptakill were delighted to see that.
Everything was fine now.
