Chapter 1386 - 1385: A Display of Authority? (Seventh Update)

The beautiful female journalist was flattered when Lin Fan specifically called her to be the first to interview him, and she quickly handed the microphone to Lin Fan!

The beautiful reporter asked, "Hello, Tyrant Pope, I'm a journalist from the Information Agency. Could you tell me why you named yourself the Tyrant Pope? Is there any meaning behind it?"

"As for the meaning, there really isn't any. I just thought the name was quite trendy, so I chose it!" Lin Fan said with a cheerful smile.

"Tyrant Pope, what are your thoughts as the first Huaxia person to become a Pope?" another male journalist asked!

"No particular thoughts really. I just did something that many people have been striving to do, but they didn't succeed, and I did," Lin Fan shrugged with a smile!

"Tyrant Pope, it's said that once you become the Pope, you can't marry or have children in the future. Won't you feel bad about that? Or... have you already had that, um, removed?" a male journalist asked!

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan immediately felt displeased. He glared at the pimple-faced male journalist and directly cursed, "I say, you with the pimply face and gourd-shaped face, who gave you the confidence to remain a journalist forever? Aren't you afraid of making people cry during interviews? It's not your fault for being ugly, but scaring people in broad daylight is your fault!"

The male journalist unhappily said, "Tyrant Pope, how can you insult people?"

"Insult? I actually want to hit you! Next one~"

Lin Fan exclaimed without any concern!

In a flash, ten minutes passed. After Lin Fan answered some official questions, members of the Holy Knight Order immediately surrounded him again to protect him closely!

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Alright, everyone, the ten minutes are up. If you really have more questions, I will hold a press conference where you can freely interview me!"

"Oh oh oh~"

Some journalists who didn't get to interview Lin Fan cheered!

Subsequently, under the protection of the Holy Knight Order's members, Lin Fan made his way through the throng of journalists and headed to the roadside!

At this time, there was a car parked on the side of the road, and a young man in church attire was leaning against it!

Seeing Lin Fan approaching, the young man hurriedly greeted him respectfully, "Tyrant Pope, welcome to Huaxia!"

"You're too kind. Where's your steward?" Lin Fan asked!

All over the world, almost every church has a steward in charge!

The young man said, "The steward is in the church, welcoming the Tyrant Pope!"

"Alright! Take us to the church!" Lin Fan nodded and said!

This time, he returned to his country as the Pope, so naturally, the first stop had to be at the church!

"Tyrant Pope, please!" The young man opened the car door and respectfully made a gesture to invite him in!

Lin Fan got into the car, followed by Mansite, while the other members of the Holy Knight Order took another car to the church!

The church in Yanjing is very grand and majestic. Nowadays, many people in the country prefer foreign things, and many prefer to have their weddings in a church, celebrating with a Western-style ceremony!

When the car stopped at the church's entrance, to Lin Fan's surprise, there wasn't anyone there to welcome him!

This scene made Lin Fan frown tightly!

Mansite's expression also darkened, and he said to the young driver, "Why didn't your steward come out to greet us...?"

"Maybe! The steward is busy!" the young man said nervously!

"Nonsense!"

Mansite shouted angrily, drawing the Cross Sword from his back and pointing it straight at the young man's throat!

The Pope's arrival should have been met with a warm welcome from the steward; this disrespect could not be tolerated!

With the Cross Sword at his throat, the young man's face immediately turned pale with fear!

"N... No, please don't kill me!" the young man said in a panic!

"Tell me! What exactly is your steward doing?" Mansite demanded fiercely!

"Our steward was transferred from the Vatican. He always wanted to compete for the position of Pope, but when he heard that the position went to the Tyrant Pope, especially since the Tyrant Pope is a Huaxia person, the steward..."

"...took it lightly and intentionally wanted to give the Tyrant Pope a hard time!"

The young man was so frightened that he didn't dare to hide anything and revealed the truth of the matter!

"Courting death!"

Mansite was instantly furious!

Lin Fan patted Mansite's shoulder and shook his head at him!

"According to the church rules, if there's disrespect, it should be dealt with on the spot!" Mansite said!

"No worries! We're all very good people. What good is fighting and killing? Let me persuade him instead!"

Lin Fan said, with a sly smile at the corner of his mouth!

A hard time?

Lin Fan loves nothing more than smacking down those who try to give him a hard time!

After getting out of the car, Mansite took the lead, Lin Fan followed closely, and the other members of the Holy Knight Order brought up the rear, as the group marched towards the church!

Entering the church, what met their eyes were only two rows of wooden chairs with a small platform at the front, and behind that stood a tall cross!

This was the area used for holding weddings!

The actual prayer room was in another section behind this large church!

Walking through a corridor, Lin Fan, Mansite, and the others entered another chapel!

While this chapel was smaller than the first one they entered, it appeared much more solemn and grand!

At this moment, a middle-aged man was kneeling in front of the cross, muttering words of prayer!

When Mansite saw him, he shouted angrily, "Nowitzki, the Pope has arrived. You didn't come to the airport to greet us, and now you won't even step outside of the church, requiring the Pope to personally find you. How dare you!"

When Nowitzki heard Lin Fan's words, he finally stopped praying, got up slowly, turned around, and looked at Lin Fan!

Nowitzki was a man in his fifties, with a crew cut, very thin, his face full of wrinkles but with a surprisingly healthy complexion, unlike the usual dry and pale faces of middle-aged long sword wielders!

Seeing Lin Fan, Nowitzki didn't show the slightest respect, instead saying, "Tyrant Pope, I'm sorry for not coming to greet you. I was praying to God, and you, being the Pope, should know that interrupting prayer for God is a great disrespect, so please forgive me!"

"No problem, praying to God is important. Whether you greet me or not is inconsequential; I can come myself!"

Lin Fan shrugged, but his tone carried a hint of coldness!

He then approached the cross and paid his respects!

However, upon seeing Lin Fan's failure to blame him, Nowitzki's face immediately showed a trace of contempt. How could such a weak person become the Pope?
