The Pope had long been aware of Xu Fan's reputation.
As the Pope, with his children already deceased, he only had his granddaughter Avril, whom he cherished deeply. Six months ago, when Xu Fan came into contact with Avril, the Pope learned of Xu Fan's existence through Arthur and quietly kept an eye on Xu Fan.
Of course, this gaze carried a bit of wariness and a bit of ill intent.
To the Pope, the difference in status between Xu Fan and Avril was like night and day. Avril was the most outstanding talent of the younger generation of the Church of Light, with a special mission, especially at this critical juncture of the approaching millennium opportunity; how could she be mired in romantic feelings?
If Xu Fan didn't bother Avril, so be it, but if Xu Fan foolishly aimed for unrealistic things and affected Avril's future, the Pope wouldn't hesitate to make Xu Fan disappear from this world.
