Chapter 434. The Story of the Third Cycle [2 Reincarnations] (11)

In fact, the Vatican simply doesn't have time to manage this nascent faith.

Because an even more challenging task awaited them: the publication of "Finance and Faith Studies," which exposed the long-standing secret of the Vatican and financial magnates using "holy water" to deceive the masses.

Large numbers of people took to the streets to protest, their shouts against the Vatican nearly shaking the ceiling.

The entrance to Rose Healthcare was also blocked and vandalized by a frenzied crowd, who held up newspapers containing articles on "Finance and Faith" and demanded an explanation from the Rose Group.

Before the Rose Group could even begin its public relations efforts, the Irving family was the first to react.

Three days later, the newspaper published the Irving family's latest announcement.

In the announcement, family heir Owen Angarner clearly stated—

The views expressed in Irving Andorra’s book “Finance and Faith” and related statements represent only the personal views of the Irving family.

The Irving family has always adhered to the principle of mutual benefit and win-win cooperation, maintaining a stable trade partnership with the Rose Group, and expresses its deepest apologies for the continued escalation of this matter.

To demonstrate their stance, the family will cease providing living expenses for Irwin Andorra as a warning.

"That is to say..."

The little girl in the green tutu put down her newspaper.

Those calm and wise eyes looked at the boy in the floral hat.

"You don't have a single penny on you right now?"

The boy in the floral hat took off his hat, tidied his hair which had been messed up by the hat, and said with a pained expression:
"I am indeed poor, but not to the point of having no money at all. The casino still lets me in, and I am still the God of Gamblers. It's just that I no longer receive a living allowance from my family."

He straightened his bird's nest-like hair whorl, then looked at the completely transformed little girl across the table.

Now that she had money in her pocket, Vera bought herself new clothes. Her black hair was loosely tied back with a pearl headband, lustrous pearl earrings dangled from her ears, and a green leaf brocade collar adorned her neck. The soft, lustrous green silk dress she wore was now billowing out, its layers upon layers creating a beautiful effect.

Her face had exquisite features and beautiful eyebrows. Although her expression was aloof, it matched her calm and noble temperament, making her look like a princess from royalty.

Several months ago, she instructed him to take a sealed medicine packet to the casino. Whoever won the bet would receive the packet as a gift, and she told him that the packet could cure the plague and was a blessing from God.

Andor didn't know what was in the medicine packet, but since the little prophet said so, he did it.

After the medicine packets were given out, the gamblers came to the casino more frequently. After all, only the Owen family's casino gave out medicine packets, which immediately increased their casino's revenue several times over.

Andor received a large bonus from his sister and praise from his elders, who commended him for having a good "business sense".

Andor knew he certainly didn't possess that kind of intelligence; the truly formidable one was the Little Prophet.

If he had any doubts about Vera's identity before, he now completely believed it.

—A planner with divine insight, whose strategies are flawless, that is a true prophet!

What happened next shocked him even more.

What the little prophet is truly doing is cultivating a new faith belonging to the "healing power." And the vast Owen family, in this entire game, is nothing more than a stepping stone for her.

She borrowed money from herself to open a shop, which was packed every day. Her subsequent move of raising prices and attracting healers to the market, achieving her true goal, was smooth and natural.

When the newspapers suddenly changed their tone and began praising the healing power, Andorra looked at the completely upside-down society and was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.

For a con artist, he couldn't understand that Vera's plan was the result of years of preparation; he only saw the earth-shattering change that occurred in that one instant.

That almost gave him a huge shock.

Therefore, from that moment on, he completely admired Vera.

With his manuscript recently generating such a huge response, and feeling disheartened by his family's cold and ruthless withdrawal, he couldn't help but ask her, "My sister and my elders have always treated me well, so why are they suddenly cutting off all contact with me?"

Andorra didn't understand.

“I only talked about the Holy Water of Life, without mentioning my family at all. I only stated the facts to the Vatican and the Rose Group, without any sarcasm or exaggeration—I didn’t even show any emotion.”

The elegant little princess across from me, wearing a pearl earring, simply took a sip of the hot tea on the table and then said calmly:
"The problem arises precisely because you told the whole truth. The matter of the Holy Water of Life involves the Holy See's divine grace and the medical system monopolized by the Rose Group. You have shaken the system—the Owen family fears the Rose Group's retaliation."

Under pressure from the Rose Group, the most powerful conglomerate in mainland China, even the Owen family had to consider cutting their losses to survive.

The severed tail was Owen Andor.

"Ugh……"

The boy put his hat back on, and when he pulled down the brim, his eyes looked much dimmer.

When Vera looked at him, the once pure flame in her eyes was tinged with darkness.

Is this what happens when you tell the truth?

He said in a low voice.

Vera nodded, looked at the listless young man across the table, and said slowly:

"Otherwise, where do you think those sinner believers in the God of Original Sin's domain came from?"

"You don't really think that someone who seeks the protection of the god of original sin is necessarily a serial killer, do you?"

The girl put down her cup, the bottom of which tapped softly on the table.
“There are two kinds of people there, one extremely evil and the other—extremely good.”

……

Just like in the previous cycle, when faced with the issue of the Holy Water of Life, the Rose Group quickly whitewashed itself by citing contracts and heretical doctrines.

With the rampant spread of the Blue Leaf God faith and the use of addictive drugs to bribe lower-ranking nobles, the Holy See finally adopted a different approach than in the previous era.

It shifted all responsibility to the current Holy Son of Light, and resigned from his position, pushing a new Holy Son to the forefront.

"boom……"

Fireworks exploded in the sky, and golden sparks fell like rain.

The new Holy Son's carriage slowly drove down the long street and stopped in front of the ceremony platform.

As the familiar young man in the pure white robe stepped off the carriage, his gaze swept across the surging crowd, but suddenly froze when it landed on a small figure wearing a pearl earring and a green dress.

He was momentarily confused, countless dreams flashing through his mind, and almost subconsciously blurted out:

"younger sister……?"

Before he could finish speaking, a floral top hat had already nimbly entered his field of vision.

Beneath the brim, a young nobleman smiled as he removed his top hat, bowed slightly, and spoke in a languid yet wary tone:
"Your Highness, isn't it inappropriate to publicly acknowledge someone as your sister?"

I felt guilty for updating late yesterday, so I'll update earlier today. I discovered that my old book is being promoted on Hongxiu, so I'll try to update twice a day in the next few days. Also, my new book is currently in a PK competition, so I hope everyone will support it.

Furthermore, this incident involved returning to the past after the first reincarnation, creating a gap in information that caused the female protagonist's bloodline to awaken. After all, she had simply forgotten, not become stupid.

The reason why the Sword Master couldn't do this before was because the condition of information gap was not met.

Another point is that some people can't distinguish between predictive layout and omniscient layout. Simply put, the two layout processes are reversed - predictive layout calculates from high information to low information, while omniscient layout calculates from low information to high information.

When we buy lottery tickets, we might say, "Will the winning numbers tomorrow be 123456?" This is actually an omniscient way of thinking (direct reasoning about the result). The predictive way of thinking, on the other hand, is, "I know that 123456 will win, so how can I seize the opportunity to buy this lottery ticket?" (reverse reasoning about the opportunity).
Therefore, an omniscient strategist tries to acquire "information," while a predictive strategist tries to acquire "opportunities."
