Chapter 1380 - 1379: This Is Fate!

Looking at the sinister expression on Gao Ta's face as he once again posed a dilemma for him, Lin Fan's expression remained unchanged. Instead, he pulled out a cigarette, stuck it in his mouth, and took a deep drag after lighting it!

The smoke he exhaled obscured his visage, turning it into a hazy blur, making it hard to see his face clearly. Yet through the thick smoke, his eyes constantly flickered with a stern and chilling light!

Subsequently, Lin Fan shook his head calmly, and lightly uttered two words: "No!"

Gao Ta had anticipated this scene, but after hearing Lin Fan's words, he could hardly contain his excitement on his face!

Gao Ta laughed heartily: "Haha! Mr. Tyrant, I never expected that in these two days, you would do nothing. I fear you are going to lose!"

"Really... lost?"

Lin Fan, indifferent, continued to smoke.

Gao Ta smirked coldly: "Apologies, Mr. Tyrant, according to our bet, I captured the vampire, and you lost to me in the scripture contest, so the position of the Pope is mine now!"

"You haven't killed the vampire yet, why should you be given the position?" Lin Fan suddenly sneered!

Upon hearing this, Gao Ta's expression changed slightly!

Originally, he planned to let the vampire go after he successfully assumed the position of Pope, but he didn't expect Lin Fan to make him kill his subordinate right now!

Lin Fan sneered at Gao Ta and said: "Since you claim this vampire is one of those who killed Pope Kidd, then kill it now in front of all the followers, to avenge Pope Kidd!"

"Yes! Kill him!"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

For a moment, the surrounding followers started roaring furiously!

The people feared the vampire's hideous face and dared not approach, yet each wore expressions full of hatred!

Upon hearing this, Gao Ta's expression became exceptionally grave!

But looking at the Pope's position within his grasp, Gao Ta was unwilling to give it up at all costs!

Immediately, Gao Ta turned and walked over to the vampire bound by ropes!

As the vampire faced imminent death, a flicker of terror appeared on his face, especially since he was about to die at the hands of his own leader!

"Die!"

Gao Ta suddenly shouted coldly, then fiercely struck, raising his broad palm, and slammed it toward the vampire's head!

"Thud!"

A dull thud echoed immediately!

Followed by the crisp sound of "crack, crack, crack" coming from the vampire's skull, the sound of bones shattering!

The vampire spewed a mouthful of blood, then gradually fell and breathed his last!

"I'll avenge you! The vampire clan will remember your contribution!"

Gao Ta silently vowed as he looked at the fallen vampire!

"These obedient ones, they're truly ruthless!" Lin Fan quietly muttered as he witnessed the scene before him!

Then Gao Ta turned to Lin Fan, his eyes exceedingly cold!

Gao Ta spat coldly: "Now, do you have anything left to say?"

"Nothing!" Lin Fan shook his head, his expression still calm and composed, seeing Gao Ta with arrogance, yet seeing through him like he was a mere circus clown!

A clown is a clown, unable to stir up any waves!

"Haha! Tyrant, since you have nothing to say, then let me take the position of Pope!"

With excitement written all over his face, Gao Ta abruptly turned, spreading his arms, seemingly savoring the excitement and thrill of the moment!

Gao Ta loudly declared: "I, Gao Ta, will become your new Pope, leading you all onto a path of light!"

"Long live the Pope!"

Instantly, all the followers in the square knelt and shouted, their voices so loud, like thunder!

The several stewards also bowed low and saluted Gao Ta!

According to the bet, Gao Ta indeed won the contest, and the position of Pope rightfully belongs to him!

Unfortunately... if it wasn't for last night, when Lin Fan discovered his true identity, the position of Pope would have been forever out of Lin Fan's reach!

Gao Ta sneered looking at Lin Fan and said: "Mr. Tyrant, you've lost. Hand over the Pharaoh's staff to me. I will become the Pope and lead my people onto the path of light!"

However, Lin Fan did not hand over the Pharaoh's staff to Gao Ta; instead, he removed the cigarette butt from his mouth, now only a stub, and stomped it out underfoot!

Lin Fan looked at Gao Ta with a playful smirk and said: "Who said you won?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Ta's expression changed and he said: "Do you still have a countermeasure?"

"No!" Lin Fan shook his head straightforwardly!

"Hmph! Since you don't, on what grounds do you say I didn't win? Tyrant, hand over the Pharaoh's staff immediately, or don't blame me for being rude!" Gao Ta ordered!

Lin Fan ignored him and started walking towards Gao Ta!

"You're courting death!"

Gao Ta's expression twisted with malevolence as he shouted: "Tyrant, committing insubordination, Holy Knight Order, surround him immediately for me!" "Whoosh~"

However, Mansite, with the Cross Sword over his back, stretched his arm, and all the members of the Holy Knight Order stood their ground, not daring to move!

"Mansite, are you planning to betray us?" Gao Ta barked coldly!

"Gao Ta! You are in no position to give me orders, much less be the Pope!" Mansite retorted coldly, his tone filled with lethal intent!

Upon hearing this, Gao Ta's expression grew slightly tense as he took in Mansite and Lin Fan's expressions—did they find something out?

By now, Lin Fan had approached Gao Ta!

Lin Fan chuckled coldly: "Gao Ta, you say... should I kill you? Or should I flay your skin, then parade you on display?"

"How dare you!"

Gao Ta shouted in anger!

"Why wouldn't I dare? Do you think I don't know your identity? Steward Gao Ta... oh no! It would be more fitting to call you Leader Gao Ta!" Lin Fan sneered!

Upon hearing this, Gao Ta's expression changed dramatically, showing surprise!

Lin Fan continued with a faint smile: "I never expected that the vampires had planted one of their leaders within the Vatican, and that after investigation, he had been hiding for decades, now even reaching the status of a steward, one step away from becoming the Pope!"

"Had it not been for my timely discovery, I fear, the entire Vatican would have fallen into your hands. Gao Ta, do you believe in fate? Let me tell you, this is fate!"

Lin Fan's lips curled into a cruel arc, as murder lust overflowed from his eyes!
