Chương 211: Plans of the Church

Leo's pushed those thoughts aside and refocused his gaze on No. 201 before asking the next question.

"And what of the plans of the church? What do they intend to achieve?"

"The church's current objective... is the destruction of the order." No. 21 responded calmly

Leo's surprise was palpable, his features a study in astonishment. He had expected the church's attention to be squarely fixed on him, a consequence of his tumultuous history and his reputation as a figure of darkness. But the revelation that the church's sights were set on the order, not him, was a twist he hadn't seen coming.

"The order? Not me?" Leo asked, completely bewildered by the answer.

" Yes. The church is preparing for a large-scale assault on the order. Preparations are already in motion." No. 201 responded mechanically with a nod.
