Chapter 306 - 290 Integration 2
The spider took the box and casually slipped it into his coat pocket.
"Then that’s settled. If you need anything, feel free to contact me. Considering his share, I’ll give you a twenty percent discount."
"Thank you," Lin Fei said with a smile.
The spider walked to the door, then suddenly turned around. "Oh, by the way, although this is our first meeting, I have a fairly good impression of you. So, I’ll give you a piece of information for free: the greatest threat to the Holy See is the Church of the Hand of Radiance."
"The Hand of Radiance?" Lin Fei repeated, watching the spider disappear through the door that closed with a click. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend," he murmured.
Gently taking out the small USB drive, Lin Fei slowly poured potential energy into it.
This type of USB drive was actually not a real flash drive, but a decoy used for transmitting messages in other ways. This little thing could not be inserted into a computer, for doing so would immediately activate its self-destruct mechanism, triggering an internal micro-bomb to explode, destroying the USB. The proper method to read the contents was to directly infuse it with potential energy, using energy to enlarge the extremely minute engraved coding information inscribed on the chip inside. Then, using the independent decoding method obtained beforehand from a separate channel, one could decode and finally restore the real intelligence.
Carefully amplifying the encoding within with potential energy, Lin Fei then used the decoding method Sis had previously given him, which he and the spider often utilized, and with his brain working at high speed, compiled a complete file within ten minutes.
"The Holy See’s power in Europe is mainly divided into two parts: overt and covert.
Overt: Centered around the Holy Flame Consortium, a core economic syndicate as the driving force, with churches of all sizes across Europe serving as branch outposts, creating a blanket occupation over the majority of European territories. Many of these churches are in touch with government departments and have the support of many local powers, continuously supplying Europe with potential seeds. Most members are real-world elites, who carry out programmatic tasks according to set standards. They have very close relations with the European upper echelons and also a high reputation among the general populace.
Covert: The known forces primarily consist of the heretical tribunal, the Judgment Knight Order, and the Holy War Knight Order as the main combat power. The core members’ strengths are mostly B-level or above, with the newly exposed Knights of the Light of Punishment having unknown member strengths. These three Knight Orders report to the High Inquisitor, yet each possesses considerable autonomy. Their specific areas of activity are unknown.
