Albus and his team easily dragged Reverend Yaneri out of the church and immediately fired a reflected flare.
Soon, a flying carriage of the Pushet family landed and Diana jumped off it.
When she saw the priest being escorted by Albus, her eyes were so fierce that they seemed to spit out flames:
"Yaneri...it's you..."
"Long time no see, Ms. Di... Ms. Diana..." Yaneri gave a tearful smile.
Diana stepped forward and slapped Yaneri in the face, causing drops of blood to splatter onto the lawn.
"We've found the murderer..." Diana raised her head and exhaled deeply. "The man who stabbed Luffy... wasn't from Xing Sui. He was a bastard directly transferred from the Xinghai Church's church army and disguised as a soldier of the Pushit family. The Pushit family guards present didn't attack Luffy."
"You monster..." Albus glared at Yaneri with gritted teeth.
"He even thought of pulling people from the Xinghai Church to avoid implicating Ophelia," Diana said in a cold tone. "But it doesn't matter. This little trick is useless. Your relationship with Ophelia is more than just this. Even if she can clear her name, we will definitely make her suffer."
"Oh...how cruel..." Yaneri closed his eyes, "Then please."
Diana waved her hand, signaling two guards to carry Yaneri onto the carriage.
Half an hour later, the White Tower Council.
There are only a few members left at the parliamentary table. Those who are still alive have either completely become Ophelia's puppets or still have a relatively stable foundation.
Most of these MPs felt uneasy about the sudden call of Parliament.
Their uneasiness was intensified when they saw Pastor Yaneri being tied up like a criminal and escorted to the meeting hall.
"Please be patient, everyone," Diana said calmly. "This is just a trial."
Attacking members of Section 1... inciting a riot... privately interpreting the Goddess' teachings... Yaneri could die in prison for the rest of her life...
But Diana's idea goes beyond that. She wants to use Yaneri's imprisonment to bring Ophelia down.
At least, let those congressmen see that Ophelia is not invulnerable.
""
"Clang."
The door opened, and Ophelia Thain, dressed in formal attire, walked in with an indifferent expression.
The first thing she saw was Yaneri kneeling on the ground, and the second time she looked at Diana, her face expressionless.
"For trial, you can go to the Trial Court. This is the White Tower Council." Ophelia said calmly.
"Inciting a riot is treason," Diana said, her eyes meeting Ophelia's fiercely. "Pastor Yaneri secretly mobilized the forces of the Star Sea Church to assassinate Luffy, the representative of the Golden People. Then, the Star Sea entered the territory of the Pushet family, triggering multiple violent incidents..."
She walked over to Ophelia and looked down at the girl whose face remained calm.
"Ms. Ophelia, your relationship with Yaneri has always been very good...right?"
"I don't deny it." Ophelia nodded.
"Xing Sui entered the base almost immediately after Yaneri ordered the assassination of Luffy and provoked the violence. This is also true, right?"
"I don't deny it." Ophelia nodded.
"So... so..."
Diana's eyes burned:
"Can I accuse you, Ophelia Sean, of attempting to incite a riot in order to take control of the entire Golden People's residential area?"
"Your desire for control never seems to subside. Those congressmen obeyed you, but you were not satisfied. You needed to control everything about them, so you killed them.
right? "
"This is another accusation. Please provide evidence." Ophelia remained calm.
"Okay," Diana smiled. "So, regarding today's accusation...how do you explain it? Yaneri colluded with you to mobilize the church army and assassinate Luffy."
"How do you explain so much blood and so much tragedy?"
""
Ophelia closed her eyes and shook her head gently.
"explain?"
Her expression seemed to be one of sadness and pity.
She walked past Diana and looked towards the council table, towards the seat at the end.
There once hung the Sword of Dawn, the holy sword that judged sinners.
The sword is not there.
"Why do I need to explain?"
In full view of everyone, Ophelia looked back, Diana's face reflected in her pupils.
Then she whispered:
"The military power of the Xinghai Church was taken back from Yaneri by Alice Puxit herself several weeks ago. He simply doesn't have the ability to mobilize the army."
In the face of Diana's suddenly widened gaze, Ophelia smiled gracefully:
"Ms. Diana Puhit, the person you should accuse...is not me, or Yaneri."
"But he is the one who holds military power and is the only one capable of mobilizing the church army to assassinate Luffy..."
"...Alice Puchite."
Chapter 570 Good Angel (Part 5) -4k- (Two updates in one)
With Ophelia's final words like a shot...
Two paladins followed her footsteps and entered the room.
They each held a scroll in their hands, and in front of all the White Tower councilors, they unfolded the scroll:
"After a long absence from prayer, Archbishop Alice Pushiter of the Xinghai Church came to the church in person, handed over military power from Pastor Yaneri, and took the initiative to exclude him."
"These two paladins... were the ones who were responsible for the handover with Alice Pucht. The signed documents are here."
Ophelia looked at Diana Pitchfort and Albus calmly, like a vulture waiting for its prey to die completely before feeding.
"Thank you very much for sacrificing your own life for the White Tower Council, Lady Diana," Ophelia said. "Thank you also, Mr. Albus, for being a member of the Star Angels."
"No, you're framing me!" Veins bulged on Albus's forehead. He hadn't expected things to develop in this direction.
"Frame-up? You were the ones who found out that Luffy's assassins were the church army?" Ophelia tilted her head slightly. "Could it be that there's something wrong with your investigation?"
"you..."
"Is there something wrong with your investigation, or is the story about Alice Phelps holding military power false?" Ophelia pressed on. "We have witnesses and evidence, and you came to this conclusion on your own, right?"
"Shut up! You devil!"
Albus suddenly drew the silver blade from his waist, and almost at the same time, the paladins and the parliamentary guards raised their weapons.
"Lady Diana, this is a coup!" Albus growled, "We..."
Diana held out her hand and stopped Albus.
She raised her head, her expression having regained composure:
"Even so, it's a proven fact that Pastor Yaneri brainwashed the Golden People in the church. As your right-hand man, Ophelia, his actions are inextricably linked to you."
"I don't know about this," Ophelia shook her head. "Yanelli, did you really do these things?"
"I..."
Yaneri closed his eyes with a look of pain.
"Yes... Miss Ophelia... I'm sorry..."
"I betrayed you... betrayed the White Tower?"
What did he say? The corners of Albus's mouth trembled violently.
He saw Yaneri glance at him with disdain in his eyes, which disappeared in an instant:
"I... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry... Alice Puxte took the military power from me and used threats and inducements to force me to... to educate those golden people..."
"I...I dare not disobey her. She is the Archbishop...How could I disobey her?"
Amidst everyone's surprised gazes, Yaneri raised his chin, his face filled with tears.
"Miss Ophelia...may the goddess bless you...a true descendant of the saint..."
"I will pay for my sins..."
He gritted his teeth:
"Atonement..."
"thump."
Yaneri collapsed almost immediately.
Albus rushed forward and turned over Yaneri's body, only to find that dark blood was flowing out of his seven orifices.
He's dead! The curse killed him!
The soul will be destroyed along with it! Not even a trace of information will be left!
For a moment, Albus's mind went blank.
Got hooked.
Yaneri is a trap, and his existence is to set a trap.
The purpose is to torture to death anyone who tries to resist!
Who could have imagined that a priest with such a clean resume and such a high status would be willing to turn himself into Ophelia's pawn and sacrifice himself without hesitation when necessary?
He died, died a martyr!
"It seems that everything has been concluded."
Albus looked up and caught a glimpse of Ophelia's condescending eyes.
Alice Pool
Hitler... treason... apostasy... well, the rest will be left to the Inquisition."
She turned around and faced the horrified council members:
"I propose that Alice Pushit be impeached immediately, and the Pushit family be investigated. The Pushit family guards should be suppressed. In order to protect the Golden People, we need to take over the North City Port Area."
"Ahhh!"
Ophelia turned her head and saw Albus picking up a silver knife and rushing towards her.
She waved her hand, and a golden light came from the side, and the Paladin's sword hit Albus' head hard, knocking him unconscious.
"Go ahead. Mr. Albus obviously has some vested interest in Miss Alice. Let's investigate."
Ophelia waved her hand and turned to look at the parliament table:
"Now, let's vote."
Needless to say, Ophelia's proposal was passed.
And what surprised her was...when the voting began, Diana also sat down at the table and voted in favor of Alice's arrest warrant...
Ophelia looked at Diana, the head of the Pushet family.
Diana returned the gaze, her face calm even as her fingertips trembled.
"It seems that you want to sacrifice your own family for the sake of justice, Ms. Diana." Ophelia said calmly.
"Ophelia," Diana whispered, "have you been taught the tenets of your family?"
"Yes," Ophelia replied.
The two looked at each other without saying anything, but many things no longer needed to be explained in words.
No matter which family it is, there must be a column in the creed.
That is a blood debt, to be paid with blood.
Pukhit House.
Xingsui's soldiers surrounded them, and with solemn expressions, they showed the search warrant and takeover order signed by the White Tower Council to the family guards.
