At night, Nathan and his family were eating dinner as international news played on the television.
Nathan enjoyed watching international news during meals, which was a habit he had developed in recent years.
All of a sudden, a piece of news caught everyone's attention.
Queenie's photo had appeared on television, and the background of the broadcast was the Curia.
As it turned out, the Curia's representative was announcing to the believers that the Curia had chosen its next Holy Maiden—Queenie Smith from the South of Eurasia.
Upon hearing the announcement, the believers cheered fanatically.
Right then, an anchorwoman with a microphone in hand said with a smile, “The pope, Eugene IV, has chosen the next Holy Maiden today, and it is none other than Queenie Smith of Eurasia. According to the reports, Queenie Smith is still in elementary school. When she reaches the age of sixteen, she will take over Hepburn's role as the Holy Maiden...”
Bam!
Nathan, whose expression was as black as thunder, slammed his fork against the table.
Instantly, Penny, Queenie, Benson, Leah, and Ava turned to look at him in shock.
They had never seen Nathan that angry, but they were equally furious.
They could not believe that the Curia stubbornly insisted on going their own way, one-sidedly announcing Queenie the future Holy Maiden, despite their warning to them.
From the moment of the announcement, Queenie would face tremendous danger.
It came as no surprise that Nathan would be crossed about it.
“Colin!” the man then called out in a cold voice.
Colin's towering figure immediately emerged. “Yes, Mr. Cross!”
“Has Laura left Eurasia?”
“Not yet. She and her subordinates are still in Channing.”
“Get her here right now.”
