As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime Chapter 15
Advertisement
While waiting for Andrew to arrive.
Even Quiniel did not dare to continue to anger Monn.
In the era where strength was respected.
Power, status, and money were all assets that would make others respect a person.
However, the most respected ones.
It could only be those experts!
He would receive sufficient respect no matter where he went once he grasped powerful abilities!
Moreover, in Quiniel's guesses, Monn had very likely already broken through to the Holy Rank at this moment!
The Holy Rank was the most powerful group of people in this world!
All were mortals below the True God!
And at the peak of mortals was the Holy Rank existence!
For a moment, the small path was silent. Those bishops and archbishops did not even dare to breathe loudly!
Whether it was Monn, Quiniel, or Prince Burton...
They were all existences that they could not afford to provoke!
Some of the bishops even felt some resentment towards Quiniel.
Why did he provoke Cardinal Monn?
Why didn't he find an excuse to fool Prince Burton?
Wasn't it enough for them to accompany him and act like dogs there?
He had to provoke a tiger!
Was he happy now that he was killed by the tiger instead?
If Quiniel were to hear the thoughts of these bishops.
He would probably be aggrieved!
Of course, if there was a chance to return to the first ten minutes ago.
Quiniel would not choose to stop Mon!
This guy doesn't play by the rules!
Why was there even a person who didn't even care about the man's identity and kicked him until he was seriously injured?
Moreover, Prince Burton's status was so high.
He was the king's younger brother!
Was it so difficult for him to go over and pay his respects to the prince?

Why couldn't he bow since everybody was doing it?
However, looking at Monn, who had a calm expression and cold look in his eyes.
Quiniel did not dare to say a word.
That person...
He indeed could choose not to bow!
The existence of the Holy Rank Ability.
He had the right not to bow even in front of King Aldrich!
That was the effect of ability!
...
The pope was waiting for Prince Burton in the Holy Church.
He was not like Quiniel, who was purely licking the boots.
Andrew accepted Burton's visit because he had something important to discuss.
Although Prince Burton was a playboy who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun, he could not resist the fact that his status was high enough!
At this time, there was also a secret envoy sent by King Aldrich to talk to Andrew in Prince Burton's diplomatic mission.
Simply put, Burton was just a mascot!
King Aldrich couldn't directly come to talk to Andrew. After all, the Kingdom of Kate was separated nominally from the church and politics, and their identities were sensitive.
Sending someone with too low a status would also show disrespect to Andrew.
Thus, they sent Burton, the mascot, over to hold the reputation...
Who knew that this dog-licking Quiniel...
When Pope Andrew said "welcome", it was directly interpreted as a "grand welcoming"…
He could only say that the boot licker's powerful imagination was the same in every era!
"Pope! Pope!"
"It's bad! Cardinal Quiniel, Prince Burton, and Cardinal Monn are fighting!"
A bishop staggered and rushed in from outside the holy church.
He did not even have the time to bow and shouted directly!
"What?"
Andrew was shocked!
What was going on? Prince Burton had not even arrived at the holy church, and he was already fighting with the cardinal under him?

"Speak clearly. Who was fighting with whom?"
"It was... it was Cardinal Monn who beat up one of Prince Burton's guards in front of the Holy Church!"
"Cardinal Quiniel asked all of us to go and welcome Prince Burton. In the end, the Cardinal Monn just got off work and was unwilling to pay respect to Prince Burton, and then..."
The bishop roughly explained the situation and then continued with an anxious look.
"Pope, quickly go and take a look!"
"I'm afraid that Cardinal Monn will even beat up Quiniel if we don't go over now!"
Andrew's face was gloomy.
He could almost imagine the situation.
There were already bishops and archbishops who expressed their dissatisfaction with Monn for coming to work and going off on time.
That matter had even been brought to Vernal, the prelate of the Judicial Department.
Later, he was the one who personally persuaded Vernal to stop this matter from continuing to ferment.
Now, such a thing had happened again!
"Quiniel, that idiot!"
Andrew could not help but curse angrily.
It gave the bishop beside him a fright.
Why did the Pope scold Cardinal Quiniel?
Was it not because Cardinal Monn was unwilling to pay respect to Prince Burton?
Such a thing would not have happened today as long as he paid his respect!
But he naturally did not dare to say these words to Andrew.
He could only silently criticize in his heart.
Andrew was having a headache.
Other than going to and from work on time and rarely going out to hunt dark creatures.
Monn, the cardinal, had almost no shortcomings!
Monn could quickly and efficiently complete the matters he arranged!
And there would never be any mistakes!
To be honest, any wise leader would like this kind of subordinate!
As for the little problem of never working overtime and going to and from work on time.
It was not a problem at all, in Andrew's opinion!
His work efficiency was already enough to complete all his work perfectly during his working hours, so why would he still work overtime?
But...
He had beaten up the subordinate of that prince, after all!
Although almost everyone in the Kingdom of Kate knew that this was a fool who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.
But he was also a prince!
He was the younger brother of King Aldrich!
As long as Aldrich was still the king, then Burton, this fool would always be that high and mighty prince before he openly violated the laws of the kingdom!
On one side was the subordinate that he valued highly, and on the other side was the prince who, although stupid, had a noble status.
How should he deal with the conflict between them...
Andrew sighed lightly.
He cursed again!
"Quiniel, this idiot!"
Even he had similar thoughts as those bishops.
Why did he f*cking provoke Mon?
He never worked overtime, and it was not the first time Quiniel knew that!
Moreover, was that idiot prince worthy of his high-profile welcome?
Was an idiot like that worthy of him provoking Monn?
Of course, if Quiniel didn't know that Prince Burton was a fool...
Then he would be even more of a fool!
