Chapter 113 Attending the Banquet

After deciding the fate of Jotaro Shoho, the two went to Angel's house and were invited to a banquet.

Since it was a family dinner, the preparations were not very grand.

However, after hearing about this, Angel's parents postponed their plans and rushed back to meet the hero who saved their son's life.

Ling Luxian rang the doorbell, and the priest, who heard the noise, came out to greet him immediately.

"Hello, you are the ones who saved Bridget, right? I am their godfather, you can call me Father Pucci." Pucci introduced himself gently and politely.

It was like seeing a ghost. Ling Luxian took out a handkerchief from his chest pocket and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Wow, even Father Pucci has come out, I wonder if there will be a substitute.

Don't be careless and send yourself to heaven.

Ling Lu muttered to himself and introduced himself and Lucy to Father Pucci, "You can just call me Tie Yu, and this is Lucy, who helped a lot today."

As he spoke, Ling Luxian pointed at Lucy.

Lucy smiled back.

"Thank you for saving my child. Please come in." Father Pucci smiled and stepped aside, inviting the two into the house.

Walking into the room, the interior was simple and warm. Angel warmly invited them to sit down and served them tea.

"Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, Bridget might be in danger." Father Pucci said gratefully again.

"Don't say that, this is what we should do." Ling Luxian responded politely.

Everyone started chatting and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

However, Ling Luxian remained alert at all times. He always felt that there was something strange about Father Pucci, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Wait, godson?

Could it be that the brother and sister are not Pucci’s biological children?

"Did you just say that Bridget and Angel are your godsons?" Ling Luxian asked tentatively.

Ling Luxian could clearly notice that Father Pucci's body stiffened slightly.

Of course, this does not mean that he is guilty.

However, this made Ling Luxian even more certain that Father Pucci must have his own purpose.

Instantly, Father Pucci adjusted his mindset and said, "Yes, that's right. Maybe you are not a Catholic and don't understand our doctrine. In Catholicism, priests are not allowed to marry and have children."

"I see."

Ling Luxian didn't expect that priests couldn't get married.

But what Ling Luxian didn't understand was, is this Father Pucci really that good? He helped others raise their children for no reason.

He did not deny that there were such selfless people in the world. He was just not sure whether the person in front of him was sincere.

Perhaps it was because of prejudice, the title of Father Pucci alone was enough to make Ling Luxian alert.

Also, it's because of Bridget and Angel's looks.

It is no exaggeration to say that the looks of the brother and sister, even if not one in a million, are not far apart.

If Puchi is really kind, why doesn't he adopt those disabled children?

Even if she was of average appearance, Ling Luxian would not doubt her.

What's more, Father Pucci is still a rich man. It's not absolute that rich people should die, but in Night City, nine out of ten rich people are bastards.

Didn't the Catholic Church not allow priests to get married? Ling Luxian remembered that in the game, the client of the unethical transaction was a priest.

It seems...his name is Stone, and he’s a big star in N54.

Ling Luxian felt it necessary to ask.

"Father Pucci, do you know Father Stone from News 54?"

"You mean Bryce Stone?"

When talking about Bryce Stone, Pucci seemed to have some disdain on his face.

I don't know if these two people have any connection.

"Yes, it's him. What do you think of him?" Ling Lu replied.

Speaking of Bryce Stone, Pucci was obviously a little impatient, but he couldn't get angry because Ling Luxian was here.

"My friend, you may have misunderstood. Stone is not a priest, but a pastor. He is a Christian, and Christianity does not have priests."

The relationship was caused by religious conflicts. I thought there was some big news, but Ling Luxian was a little disappointed. It seems there is no drama to watch.

But in the final analysis, the two religions are two sides of the same coin. I didn't expect that they would become irreconcilable. This is really laughable.

"So that's how it is." Ling Luxian nodded thoughtfully, "But I heard that there are often criminals who use religion to control people's minds. I wonder what the priest thinks about this?"

Father Pucci's eyes suddenly became serious. "Religion should be a force that guides people to do good, but if it is used by people with ulterior motives, it will have a bad impact. We must be vigilant against this kind of situation and stick to the true meaning of religion."

Tsk, on the surface, this Father Pucci seems quite serious.

I just hope he's not just talking.

Ling Luxian smiled slightly, "Father is right. But in this society full of temptations of interests, it is not easy to do this."

At this time, Angel interrupted and said, "Don't worry, the priest has always been our role model. He has taught us a lot."

Father Pucci patted Angel's shoulder and said, "I'm just doing my best. I hope I can have some positive impact on you."

Looking at this scene, Ling Luxian sneered in his heart. What a scene of deep love between father and daughter.

Then Father Pucci changed the subject and said, "Okay, everyone, it's time for dinner. Please move to the restaurant."

When everyone walked to the restaurant, Father Pucci said apologetically: "We Catholics have to pray before eating. Please don't mind. You can eat as you like."

"Of course I don't mind. I respect your beliefs."

Ling Luxian and Lucy said they didn't mind and waited quietly for Father Pucci to pray.

Father Pucci and the other two prayed.

“Our Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us, and do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen."

After Father Pucci finished his prayer, everyone started to eat.

At the dinner table, Ling Luxian continued to chat with Father Pucci, trying to learn more about him.

But you can't force it to fit in, otherwise Puchi will sooner or later realize that you are trying to trick him.

If we alert the enemy, we will be in trouble.

However, Ling Luxian just happened to have a topic.

"Father, I heard that there is a murderer who wants to atone his sins. I wonder what you think about it." Ling Luxian said with a smile.

"A murderer who wants to atone his sins? That's great. But my friend, is there another story behind what you said?" Father Pucci asked curiously.

The corners of Ling Luxian's mouth curled up slightly, and the fish was hooked.
