Chapter 917 Assassination

At this time, a guard's phone rang.

He looked at the caller ID and ran to Peter.

"Boss, it's Mr. John calling."

Peter took the phone and his face eased.

If John was really an undercover agent, he probably wouldn't dare to call him, so this call must be a belated alarm, reminding him not to be fooled by the illusion in the air.

Peter answered the phone and was about to speak when a crate suddenly appeared in front of him, as if it was transmitted along the communication line.

Peter's face changed immediately!

Bang!

The suspended crate fell to the ground and broke into pieces, and a CL-20 bomb with a timed detonator rolled out.

The countdown number on the display was about to return to zero.

Philip's eyes almost popped out of his sockets, and he lay down without thinking, holding his head with both hands, and spitting out a swear word in despair.

"Shit!"

At this moment, the air seemed to freeze.

Philip waited for the expected explosion, and when he was wondering, Peter's voice came to his ears.

"Get up, Philip, take my guards and escort John and Matthias here."

Philip quickly got up and looked at the bomb with fear, only to find that the detonator had been crushed at some point.

Peter stood in front of the bomb with his hands behind his back, looking indifferent.

He did not do anything, but just slightly used the superpowers given by the hero medicine to distort the gravity field near the bomb, turning this powerful bomb into a dud.

"Okay... okay boss, do you want to find Hitti and Big Jacob too?"

Philip's heartbeat had not yet returned to normal after a false alarm.

Peter nodded and said coldly: "It's okay to let them come. Before resisting foreign enemies, we must first eliminate the internal pests."

Philip hurriedly left with his guards armed with guns and live ammunition, and soon escorted "All-Seeing Eye" John and "Postman" Matthias over and pushed them to Peter.

Behind this team of murderous guards, followed by "Queen Ant" Hitti and "Son of Thunder" Jacob, who had different expressions.

"You two are obviously smart people, why are you being stupid?" Hitti stepped forward to rebuke John and Matthias, "It's already this time, why do you still do unnecessary stupid things?"

John glanced at Hitti, his face showing shame, and he said nothing.

"This is none of your business," Matthias said to Hitti expressionlessly, "You have your plans, I have my mission, things are messed up, I can only blame myself for my incompetence, you stay out of my business."

Hitti bit her rosy lips, her face was particularly complicated, it was hard to say whether she was angry or anxious.

"Okay Hitti, let me interrogate these two traitors personally."

Peter waved at Hitti, feeling a little displeased with her for taking over the show.

Turning his eyes to John and Matthias, Peter's eyes turned cold, and he pressed his right hand down, and the "Earth Domain" was activated.

John and Matthias could not bear the 16 times super gravity on them, and immediately knelt down, their faces flushed, and their bones were groaning in pain.

Peter reduced the gravity multiples so that the two could answer his questions.

"Who is Judas, you two?"

John shook his head with difficulty.

"Not me..." Matthias gasped and denied.

Peter frowned and examined the expressions of the two.

The result disappointed him.

These two traitors showed no signs of lying.

"If you are not undercovers planted by Tiangong in the organization, why did you betray me and try to assassinate me? Isn't my treatment to you good enough?"

Peter pretended to be calm, but he couldn't hide his inner indignation.

"We are following the will of Christ..."

Matthias, under the pressure of the super gravity field, made a cross on his chest with difficulty.

"Peter Vanderwal, you act in the name of Christ, but you are actually Satan's shadow on earth!"

"Your ambition and evil deeds are not pleasing to the Lord, and the most serious blasphemy you have committed is to imprison Christ in a dungeon and steal His holy blood to satisfy your insatiable desire for power and wealth!"

"Matthias, my poor friend, do you understand what crazy talk you are talking about!" Peter gritted his teeth.

"No, I'm not crazy. In fact, I'm more sober than anyone else in the world. The Holy Spirit descended on me and guided me to accuse you of your crimes!" Matthias' eyes were full of fanaticism. "Peter Vanderwal, you false prophet, Satan's lackey, why don't you free the Lord Christ from the cage!"

Peter shook his head, as if he felt sorry for Matthias' mental state, and turned to ask John: "Do you also believe Matthias's crazy words and believe that there is really a Christ who is imprisoned in the basement of the Holy Blood Monastery?"

John adjusted the frame of his glasses, but the supergravity field caused his glasses to slide off his nose and shattered when he landed.

Rubbing his tired eyes, John asked Peter: "I don't completely agree with Matthias's point of view, but I really want to know, you who have always claimed to serve the Holy Body of Christ, don't believe that the creature in the basement pool is really Christ, right?"

"You don't believe it yourself, but pretend to be pious and instill fabricated religious myths to people around you. Matthias believed your words, but you said he was crazy."

"Does this mean that it doesn't matter to you whether the mysterious creature is Christ or not? What matters is the exclusive possession of the mysterious knowledge obtained from the so-called Christ, the heroic medicine created with this knowledge, and the wealth and power obtained from it."

"What you did is like a real devil, and Matthias's accusation against you is not excessive."

Peter was so angry that his face turned blue at John's words.

Especially when John mentioned the "basement pool", the astonishment and anger in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

Peter suddenly waved his hand, and John and Matthias' helmets fell off their heads due to anti-gravity.

Hitti, Philip and James all focused their attention on the two broken helmets, and were surprised to find that the lead layer on the inside of the helmets had been removed.

No wonder John and Matthias claimed to have received the revelation of Christ, it turned out that the problem was with the helmet.

Every member of the Holy Blood Knights must wear a helmet inlaid with heavy metal when entering the Holy Blood Monastery.

Peter explained this rule in order to avoid being stabbed in the brain by Christ's powerful spiritual power, and becoming crazy like the "holy fool" in religious legends.

The members of the Holy Blood Knights may not believe Peter's explanation, but for the sake of safety, everyone has always strictly abided by this rule.

Until recently, for some unknown reason, John and Matthias took off their lead helmets and successfully communicated with Christ. They were persuaded by Christ and decided to betray Peter and jointly planned this failed assassination.
