This Cardinal Paul is one of the five cardinals who manage the Vandigo Bank. Gabriel also found out that he was the one who signed and was responsible for the 40 billion dollars that day.
"My Lord Bishop, I believe you have also noticed that although we maintain respect for God, we do not necessarily respect His servants who have made mistakes in the world. Now, for the sake of God, please tell me——
Who transferred the 40 billion away! "
Paul's body was trembling as he looked at the group of fierce men in front of him. He knew that in the eyes of these people, his "clergy immunity" and his status of "God's servant" had no deterrent effect. They were not at all the same as what he usually faced. Those believers are calm and composed.
The cardinal told everything he knew from the bottom of his heart: "I don't know, I really don't know!
At that time, the US$40 billion was not all transferred away in just twenty minutes! "
"Where did you go! Who were you covering for when you were questioned by that group of people that day!"
"No, I can't say! Oh, no, please don't force me anymore!" The previous question was fine, but after hearing the question, Paul's expression immediately became frightened.
Gabriel's heart sank, and he shot Paul in the thigh without saying anything.
puff--
"Ah - no, I can't say, don't force me!"
Seeing Paul, who still refused to answer despite the screams, reminded Gabriel of Francis's group, and his expression became serious.
Jin Ji said excitedly: "Boss, he must know some important clues, otherwise he wouldn't be like this!"
Gabriel grabbed Paul's shoulders and said word for word: "I don't know who or how you were threatened, but if you think that I will be gentler than those people, you are totally wrong. !
Now, please tell me your answer! "
After saying that, the gun was pointed between Paul's legs.
Paul, who was still moaning in pain, felt a coldness in his crotch and showed a fearful expression. However, he still closed his mouth tightly. There was only fear in his eyes, but everyone in the black cell knew that the other person was not afraid of them. .
Jin Ji could only slowly comfort the unfortunate child, "Even if you say it, the other party won't know it was you who said it, so why are you so harsh?"
But Paul still shook his head vigorously and said nothing.
The people in the black cell just felt a little aggrieved. They didn't believe how principled and tough-tongued Paul was. He was obviously a coward. He could tell the clues they wanted with just a few words, but now he was so stubborn. Got it!
You are afraid of future revenge, aren't you afraid that we will make you want to die now? !
So angry!
Gabriel was thinking more, what kind of power could make Paul so frightened that he didn't even care about the threats that were right in front of him!
He looked at Paul with a gloomy face and said, "Aren't you afraid of me?"
Paul shook his head quickly.
"Then you think there's nothing we can do against you?"
Paul's face turned pale after hearing this. He really wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it.
"I understand, Mr. Paul, it seems you are still lucky.
Okay, I admit that you succeeded in irritating me. Don’t worry, you will never escape from our hands alive!
Even if you tell me the answer I want now, it will only save you a little pain! "
After hearing this, Paul's face turned as white as snow, and he hugged Gabriel's thigh regardless of the pain in his leg, "No! Please! Let me go, don't force me, I can't say it!"
Gabriel couldn't bear it anymore, so he was still stubborn at this time? !
He kicked Paul directly in the face, knocking out several teeth and falling to the ground. He ignored Paul and said to the others.
"Bandage his wounds. Let's leave here first and find a long-term safe house in Rome. I will definitely entertain him well!"
I don't believe he can keep doing this! "
Others in the black cell were also angered by Paul's strange behavior. They felt that they had been insulted by Paul.
Paul covered his face in pain and lay on the ground, with deep despair in his eyes.
I really don’t look down on you!
I really can’t say!

December 2, 1994, 11 o'clock in the morning, Italy, Puglia region, Bari city.
Roberto Saviano is an anti-gang reporter. He has just arrived in Italy, an important port city leading to the Balgan Peninsula and the Eastern Mediterranean.
He found that this port city was very different from what he had imagined. Thousands of colorful containers were piled up on the port terminals, as if there was a border that could never be crossed.
There was no constant flow of people coming and going as he imagined, and he didn't even see a single member of the legendary Holy Crown Alliance.
Originally, in Roberto's imagination, there must be many members of the Holy Crown Alliance here to maintain order, and they could even see a fight, because according to the intelligence he received, the ports in this city were basically empty. It's a matter of the Holy Crown Alliance.
But what he sees now is only order, yes, order, mechanical order. Only containers, ships and trucks are flowing continuously in the port, just like the parts on the machine performing their duties. The whole port is in this atmosphere. Under the background, he only felt a kind of mechanical silence.
Roberto was just surprised, but didn't take it seriously. He came to Bari this time to conduct an in-depth investigation of the Holy Crown Alliance.
Originally, his goal was Camorra in Campania, and Naples, the capital of Campania, was also his hometown, but for some reason it was changed to the Holy Crown Alliance in Apulia.
"Hi, are there any houses here? I'd like to rent one?"
After Roberto left the port, he randomly chose a restaurant by the port to pay homage to his five internal organs temple, and asked a local at the next table. After all, he had to find a long-term place to stay when he first arrived.
The little man at the table next to him had a rather loud voice. He glanced at him and shouted loudly, "Want to find a house? I'll take you there in a minute. I don't know why, but there are more and more empty houses near the port. The less they are, they have all been bought by a group of Chinese people, but don’t worry, I am very familiar with a Chinese person, and I will take you to him after dinner..."
Roberto felt that the local people were quite enthusiastic. The feeling of meeting kind-hearted people when he first arrived made him feel excited. This was a good sign.
After the little man said this, the two stopped communicating and began to quickly eliminate the food on the plate.
After finishing lunch, Roberto followed the little man as he walked along the street beside the pier to an apartment. The little man motioned for him to wait outside for a while and then entered the apartment directly.
Ten minutes later, Roberto looked at the little man and said excitedly: "You are so lucky. This apartment has almost been emptied, and there is still an empty bed."
"Empty bed?"
Roberto's head was full of questions, what the hell is this?
The people have been emptied and there is still an empty bed?
Are you sure you understand what I mean?
I want to rent a house, not find someone to share it with!
Why does it feel like this is a Datong store?
But Roberto thought about it again. There seemed to be something fishy about this apartment!
I heard the little man said that it was hired by a Chinese. Could it be that there is some cooperation between the gangsters in China and the Holy Crown Alliance?
Thinking of this made me feel happy, so it would be a good idea to start exploring from here.
However, he was still reserved and asked the little man: "Aren't there any single rooms for rent here?"
The little man's eyes were full of doubts: "It's just a single room, but there is only room for one bed and one wardrobe."
? ? ?
Roberto had a bad premonition in his heart, "Is this the only kind of house for rent here?"
"Yes, it's like this near the port. If you want to rent a normal house, you have to go to the city. But the rent there is very expensive. But here, you only need to work for the landlord, and rent water, electricity, etc. And the meals are free.”
"Still working?"
The little man asked confusedly: "Don't you come here to find a job?"
