Everyone's gaze turned toward Nathan again.
“Being a traitor is not determined by words, but by evidence,” Nathan said with a smile.
Then, he turned to Colin beside him and asked casually, “Have you compiled the information I had you investigate?”
At once, Colin produced a folder and presented it to Nathan respectfully. “Here is the information you asked for, Chief Cross,” he reported sonorously.
“I won't bother. Let them go through it instead, so no one can say I accusing Eugene IV unjustly,” Nathan said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Colin handed over the documents in his hand for Leopold and others to peruse.
They looked confused, unsure of what the documents were about. However, after taking a look, their expressions shifted alarmingly.
Eugene IV did not know what evidence Nathan had presented. Feigning shock, he wore a look of surprise. “Oh, Nathan, what kind of false information have you prepared to slander me? My conscious is clear. I'm not afraid of what you have to say.”
Nathan sneered. “Slander? You think you're worthy of that accusation? Now, has everyone finished reading? If you're done, let the old man see it so he cannot deny it any longer.”
At this moment, the folder was in the hands of Thomas Dunn, the Minister of Defense for the country of Wallera.
Eugene IV glanced doubtfully at the documents in Thomas' hand.
Thomas scowled. “Take a good look. Once you're done, prepare to meet your end.”
Then, he flung the documents in his hand at Eugene IV.
Ducking, Eugene IV narrowly avoided being hit in the face.
One of his subordinates caught the documents and handed them to him.
His hand trembled slightly as he took the documents, scanning them rapidly. The longer he read them, the harder his heart pounded, and his expression grew increasingly grim.
When he reached the end, his heart had sunk, and his face had turned extremely pale.
The documents that Nathan had prepared contained ample evidence of the Curia betraying humanity by colluding with the extraterrestrial Divine Realm and willingly becoming the lapdogs of the Gods.
