章 1407: A Deal

The Cardinal quickly took back his hands and stared at Ning with wide, angry eyes. "You dared to touch me when I wasn't looking?" he asked.

"You dared to ask me to cut myself. So why not?" Ning said. "And don't get too angry. Being angry isn't good for your health. Tell me, did your scar come from when you were angry by some chance?"

The man reflexively touched his scar and narrowed his eyes.

"I will ignore what you just said," he said. "But, I cannot ignore the fact that you wish to kill either the Pope or one of the other 2 Cardinals."

"Or none," Ning added.

"What?" the Cardinal asked.

"I came to check if either of you four is the one I'm looking for. I never said one of you was guaranteed to be the person," Ning said. I have 2 more people far away in the world that are also my target. Once I confirm here that none of you four are it, I will leave the island and travel away."
