The Ifer clan, one of the three major Italian mafia families, possesses power beyond what most people can imagine in Italy.

But under such circumstances, Clan Leader Albert told Luo Hanlin that the person he had offended was someone even the Ifer family dared not cross, someone they couldn’t afford to offend, yet he had somehow managed to do just that!

What kind of existence had he actually offended?

Luo Hanlin was like a soul that had lost its grasp, petrified on the spot, unable to find any words to describe the shock in his heart.

Albert didn’t dare say much to Luo Hanlin either; he felt that informing Luo Hanlin was already quite considerate of him.

If he were to continue, provoking the marshal’s displeasure would spell a huge disaster for the entire Ifer clan!

So, Albert hung up the phone directly.

Just as Luo Hanlin was petrified, his phone suddenly rang.

The piercing ringtone pulled him back from his shock to reality. Instinctively shivering, he hurriedly answered the call without looking.

"Hello..."

"Hanlin, what on earth happened, why have all the Blackwater company’s security personnel been withdrawn..."

Xiahou Yuzhu’s voice was filled with an unprecedented sense of panic and unease.

Hearing this, Luo Hanlin’s originally pale face turned even uglier in an instant.

What Albert told him was beginning to be confirmed.

For a time, Luo Hanlin fell back into silence again, his hand gripping the phone ever tighter, his face ferociously contorted, eyes blood-red like a wild beast in a rage!

"Yuzhu, get in touch with Ming Yue, have him kill Avid for me!" Luo Hanlin growled like a lion driven to madness, "Whoever wants us dead, we’ll send them to hell!"

Luo Hanlin didn’t know who the mastermind behind the scenes was; since Albert dared not say, he had no choice but to target Avid!

"Yuzhu, book your ticket back to the country immediately, return right away!" Luo Hanlin said heavily.

"Hanlin, what exactly happened?"

"Don’t ask any more, just return to the country immediately!" Luo Hanlin nearly yelled out: "Right now, we can’t stay here any longer!"

The Xiahou Yuzhu on the other end of the phone also realized the gravity of the situation, saying in a frantic manner, "What about you?"

"After I kill Avid, I’ll leave too!" Luo Hanlin said softly, "Don’t worry, nothing will happen to me!"

"Whoever wants to kill me, they better be ready to go to hell!"

At that moment, Luo Hanlin was ready to fight a desperate battle, to be all in, succeed or die trying!

After hanging up the phone, Luo Hanlin took several deep breaths, trying to calm his turbulent emotions.

But before he could get his emotions under control, Luo Hanlin’s phone rang once again.

He hurriedly picked up the phone and answered, "Hello... "

"Boss, it’s bad, the people from the Papacy have issued a strong accusation against us, saying we sent an assassin in front of the great cathedral to disrupt their mass, a provocation against their church; they see us as enemies and are going to launch an attack..."

"Smack!"

The moment Luo Hanlin heard this, he dropped the phone in fright, staring dumbfounded, his face filled with bewilderment!

The Papacy was making a move against him at this time...

Who the hell had he offended?

Why were so many people after him all of a sudden, and especially when he had clearly made an agreement with Nicholas, why would he betray him now, why turn against him?

Could it still be because of that mysterious person?

At this moment, Luo Hanlin felt as if he were in hell itself!

The church held tremendous influence throughout the entire world, with its followers numbering in the billions!

Now that the church had declared that the assassin who disrupted their Mass and appeared in the cathedral was sent by Luo Hanlin, he had likely become an enemy in the eyes of the church’s congregation and followers, a villainous force to be eradicated!

Luo Hanlin was unaware that someone had already begun secretly buying up all the shares of his Hongyuan Group from the other shareholders, bit by bit.

He was about to lose control of Hongyuan Group, about to fall from heaven straight into hell.

In the face of all these actions, the mastermind Ye Xunhuan showed not the slightest reaction, nor was he at all surprised by the lightning-fast pace at which he had crushed Luo Hanlin.

In his view, all of this was normal, for after all, he was a marshal, and with just one word, many people in Europe would be willing to please and flatter him!

Moreover, Ye Xunhuan used such thunderous methods, crushing Luo Hanlin effortlessly, precisely because Qiu Ruoxi was coming to Milan!

Originally, he had wanted to let Luo Hanlin walk towards despair in fear, step by step, and then be destroyed, but Qiu Ruoxi had arrived!

He had to accelerate the destruction.

Not for anything else, but because after Qiu Ruoxi arrived here, there absolutely could not be any accidents.

Not even the slightest mishap was permissible.

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan was reclining in a villa by Lake Como owned by Avid, resting his head on Mei Hanqing’s lap, his face full of pleasure, oblivious to the turbulent outside world.

Suddenly, a muffled set of footsteps came from outside the door.

The next moment, Avid strode in from the outside.

Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan resting on Mei Hanqing’s thigh, Avid’s face immediately showed an unprecedented level of respect!

"My king, Luo Hanlin has been driven into a corner. With one final blow from us, he will lose everything!"

Fear and respect filled Avid’s eyes as he looked towards Ye Xunhuan.

It was beyond his expectations that even the church would take action against Luo Hanlin.

In his eyes, the church had always represented light to the people, yet it was aiding Ye Xunhuan, the devil. What kind of immense and terrifying power would be needed to accomplish this!

It is known that the Pope of the church is the strongest entity beneath the ten overlords, and should the Pope aspire to contend for power, he might well become the eleventh overlord!

Yet, under such circumstances, the church’s people were helping Ye Xunhuan.

This made him feel a deep sense of fear towards Ye Xunhuan’s power and methods!

He was simply too terrifying!

At the same time, Avid also feared for his own previous foolishness.

Resting on Mei Hanqing’s lap, Ye Xunhuan asked without even lifting his eyelids, "What about the shares of Hongyuan Group?"

No sooner had Ye Xunhuan’s words ended than Avid quickly replied, "Everything has been prepared for you. Do you need to go to Hongyuan Group now?"

Ye Xunhuan nodded in satisfaction, "No, I’m still waiting for someone. She is more suitable to go to that place than I am!"

As he spoke, the image of Qiu Ruoxi slowly formed in Ye Xunhuan’s mind.

"What about the brand merchants I asked you to contact?"

"My king, all the contracts are ready!"

"Launch the final strike tomorrow morning!"
