When Horn heard the news of Tommy and Madlan, he was extremely surprised and shocked.
Two Cardinals, these are two Cardinals, figures just one step away from becoming the Pope.
Placed in Horn's ancient hometown, they would be like two Cabinet Elders, each leading their followers in a brawl in front of the Pope's Palace.
Could the Gulag Monastery be a mafia den?
Concerning the news brought by Fuchev, Horn, rather than believing that Tommy or Madlan came to assassinate, believed more that this was likely an eruption of a private vendetta between the two bishops.
They were merely using their own pretexts to attack each other.
But in any case, with things having blown to such a degree, especially when Tommy shouted out "storm the Pope's Palace, demand justice", it had already become irreversible.
Quickly running through the whole affair in his mind, Horn finally decided—to strike with a heavy hand!
