Chapter 1136 - 449: Level 3S and Celestial Level? (3)
Alexander took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart. "Enough, I can’t blame you for this. Who would’ve thought that Zhang Beixing would be so charismatic?"
"Now, among the populace, they’re probably all praising his heroic deeds, right? It’s laughable that a mere upstart dares to compare with our Holy See."
Thinking of Zhang Beixing’s reputation among the people, Alexander gnashed his teeth, wishing he could tear him apart. But in a quick turn of thought, a cold smile crept onto his lips.
"However, this could also be an opportunity."
"Sir?" Giovanni was somewhat confused, looking at Alexander with a bewildered expression.
Alexander chuckled darkly, his tone playful. "Think about it, now Zhang Beixing’s prestige among the people is as high as the midday sun, he’s indeed the center of attention."
"At this moment, if some scandal were to break out, wouldn’t it deal a greater blow to him?"
"You mean..." Giovanni suddenly understood, his eyes lighting up.
"Precisely!" Alexander said, full of confidence, a hint of malice flashing in his eyes. "I want that Zhang Beixing to fall from grace, to the point of doomsday irreversibility!"
"As long as we expose some dirt on him, even if it’s completely groundless, it would be enough to make his reputation plummet instantly!"
"By then, all his efforts among the people will come to naught. Whereas our Holy See can justifiably denounce him as the source of chaos!"
Alexander became more excited as he spoke, his face brimming with a determined smile. In his view, no matter how strong Zhang Beixing was, he was merely a puppet in his hands, to be manipulated at will.
"Understood! I’ll arrange it right away!" Giovanni was brimming with excitement, applauding the brilliance of the plan.
"Go, investigate! Make sure you dig up everything about that Zhang Beixing!" Alexander waved a hand dismissively, indicating for Giovanni to depart.
Giovanni nodded repeatedly, bowing as he left. He knew this was a significant task entrusted by his superior, and there was no room for error!
In the secret chamber, Alexander’s arrogant laughter echoed once more. He couldn’t wait to see Zhang Beixing disgraced and reviled by all.
However...
When Zhang Beixing received the news and learned that the Holy See was spreading rumors among the people, he wasn’t flustered. Instead, a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"They are truly relentless. Do they think such clumsy tactics can take me down?"
Zhang Beixing chuckled coldly, dismissing the actions of the Holy See with disdain. To him, mere rumors couldn’t possibly shake his standing among the people.
"Master, I believe we should still deal with this cautiously," Richard said anxiously, quickly reminded. "After all, the Holy See’s influence is deeply rooted among the people, and their ability to spread rumors isn’t ordinary."
"Exactly, Master, if they do fabricate some enormous crime, we will be on the defensive." Alina also looked worried, fearing that their master might take it lightly and fall into the enemy’s trap.
But Zhang Beixing, confident, waved a hand. "Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, they can’t cause any significant trouble."
"Furthermore, this is exactly the effect we want. Let them weave their tales and spread rumors. When the truth comes out, their vile face will be wholly exposed to the public!"
In Zhang Beixing’s eyes, a confident glint shone. He had long seen through Alexander’s schemes and wouldn’t easily fall for them.
"The master truly has foresight and leaves nothing to chance!" The two realized the brilliance of their master’s strategy and admired him wholeheartedly.
With such a master adept in managing situations, what more was there to worry about?
Sure enough, in the next few days, various rumors spread rampantly among the people.
Some claimed that Zhang Beixing secretly colluded with the Demon Race with ulterior motives;
Others said that Zhang Beixing privately committed numerous murders, employing cruel methods;
There were also those who alleged that Zhang Beixing was indulgent, living an extravagant and debauched life...
In short, the negative news about Zhang Beixing was diverse and abundant.
For a time, it stirred a storm among the people, leaving them in panic.
However, Zhang Beixing remained calm, appearing leisurely and at ease.
"Let them weave their stories. The more exaggerated, the more interesting the slap in the face will be."
Zhang Beixing leisurely sipped tea, calmly watching the Holy See’s performance.
He had already secretly laid down an Earth Net, waiting for the fish to take the bait.
Sure enough, within a few days, the source of the rumors was thoroughly investigated by Richard.
"Master, I have already secured conclusive evidence. All these rumors were disseminated by the Holy See!"
Richard reported excitedly, holding documents that were more than a dozen pages thick.
"The Holy See went to great lengths, trying every means to frame you," he added.
"Despicable!" Alina was also furious, eager to rush to the Church Headquarters and fight to the death with them.
Zhang Beixing sneered repeatedly, filled with disdain. "I knew they’d resort to such measures when cornered."
"Well then, it’s time to confront them."
Zhang Beixing stood up and stride out of the mansion. A chilling aura emanated from him, sending shivers through onlookers.
Alina and Richard exchanged a glance and quickly followed. They knew their master was heading to the Holy See for a showdown with Alexander.
...
Meanwhile, in the secret chamber of the Church Headquarters.
Alexander sat in a chair, gleefully listening to his subordinates’ reports.
"Sir, the public’s critique of Zhang Beixing has reached unprecedented levels," Giovanni reported excitedly, his voice trembling.
"Almost everyone is condemning his actions, which are beyond description!"
"Hahaha, excellent! Truly excellent!" Alexander laughed heartily, filled with satisfaction.
"It looks like that Zhang Beixing should now taste our might!"
"Giovanni, issue the order immediately, summon the Holy Hall Warriors, and prepare to purge that sinner!"
Alexander stood up, his eyes gleaming with madness. He was eager to personally annihilate everything Zhang Beixing had.
"Yes, sir!" Giovanni rejoiced, eagerly accepting the order.
Just as he was about to leave, the door to the secret chamber was abruptly kicked open.
With a loud bang, the door shattered to pieces.
Countless shards flew everywhere.
Giovanni turned pale with fright, backing away repeatedly.
A young man strode in.
He wore a black robe, exuding an imposing presence.
His eyes, like lightning and fire, shone with a captivating and formidable light.
