Father Sebastian and Father Michael sat in the dimly lit study of the rectory, their faces etched with frustration and worry. The news about John had reached them, and it stirred a maelstrom of emotions within them, fear, anger, and a gnawing sense of impending retribution.

Father Sebastian leaned back in his chair, his fingers drumming anxiously on the armrest. "Indeed, Michael. We've underestimated him and his connections," he replied, his tone cold and calculating. "And we cannot forget the punishment Milan inflicted on us for merely smiling at the corpse of Veronica. They are dangerous, and we need to act quickly."
