“ This is ridiculous ! Lucianus has gone crazy “ President Clevelander exclaimed.
“ He will make it by force, Mr. President, if we decline him. “ the Chief of Staff said.
“ He can’t do that. That’s literally, aggression. He’s trampling our dignity in our very own land “ the President added.
“ He means what he said, Mr. President “ the Chief of Staff added.
“ It is our duty to protect the nation from crazy aggressors. We will go to war if he pursues his whimsical mission.” He said.
“ Why does he have to do that when he just wanted to get his cult rival, Elijah Michaels ?” the President asked.
“ He claims himself as the ruler of the world and he wants to unify the world by his persuasive cult. Elijah has been an obstacle and offending him by his messages that has been drawing in followers, and even his own people, that’s why Lucianus wanted him arrested. “ the Chief of Staff explained.
“ But not to trespass in one’s own land that does not belong to his creed. We are not his dominion. “ the President continued.
“ He’s taking this time of great distress to colonize other nations to be part of his colony.”
“ Where can you find Elijah ?” the President asked.
“ Nobody knows. But they say, he’s hiding somewhere here. He could cause us war. “ the Chief of Staff replied.
“ He’s part of our responsibility. Whatever it takes, we have to protect the nation from our enemy. “ the President insinuated.
“ But, Mr. President, we may not be ready to engage “ the Chief insinuated.
“ We are ready, whatever happens “ the President said.
“ Tell them that we will handle the arrest of Elijah but not them to enter our territory and arrest his followers as I told them “ the President ordered.
The reply was received by Lucianus.
“ They say, they do not know the whereabouts of Elijah and they are not hiding him. They will handle the arrest of Elijah but not us to step into their territory to arrest its citizens ” the protocol explained.
Lucianus became restless and took a pensive moment for the replied suggestion of the White Palace.
“ Alright, give them a chance. Be sure to bring Elijah in a week’s time alive. “ he instructed.
There was no other resolution for President Clevelander to pacify and avoid war with Lucianus but to call on Elijah to heed the Vathikan’s demand.
“ I am appealing to you Elijah to please come out and abide by the call of Lucianus from the Vathikan. We don’t want any bloodshed in our country but we want peace for the nation and for your followers to be spared. I hope you know what shall be the next move of Lucianus if he fails to get you. ” President Clevelander pronounced.
Elijah heard the appeal but demanded a private plane as an alternative to evade his detractors. As a strategy he sent his message to President Clevelander and Lucianus informing them that he had left the US territory.
“ Where are we heading to ?” Elijah’s aide asked.
“ England “ Elijah replied.
Lucianus affirmed the flight of Elijah from the US territory and alerted his trackers in all possible routes that Elijah would take in his escape. Elijah’s supporters in designated areas had programmed and facilitated his itinerary to Europe evading the trackers of Lucianus in all possible exit and passage points.
By the cunning moves of Elijah’s strategists they frustrated Lucianus’ trackers enabling Elijah to sneak into bewildered old town in England.
“ In here you will find rest with your loyal supporters” An English follower said.
“ I may find myself dealing with some Russian Orthodox in this old English town” Elijah replied.
“ Be careful. Though they are Lucianus’ defiants you cannot always trust them all.” the English follower added.
“ I will be able to discern who’s who” Elijah said.
“ Lucianus’ frustration might compel him to do a drastic move for your capture” the English follower continued.
“ If it happens, then it’s my time to give up” he replied.
“ For the sake of the gospel, don’t do that. It’s yet time” Elijah’s elect said.
“ If it will cause lives of many, then there is no more reason to hide. Anyway, multiple CDs of my teachings are enough to disseminate them to the remaining souls hungry for Word. “ he said.
In the Vathikan Tower. Lucianus was infuriated by the audacity of Elijah’s escape.
“ If he shall persist from defying my command, then It’s time to enforce the ultimate strategy that may weaken his stand” Lucianus said.
“ Elijah was tracked down to be hiding in England, the hometown of his late missionary Father. “ his protocol said.
“ If it is confirmed, then we shall conquer England to produce Elijah.” Lucianus exclaimed.
“ Master, Britannia has been militarily alerted against us since we had been a great threat to them by our impending plans of invasion.” His Chief of Staff explained.
“ Master, no need to launch a drastic action towards England. We have assets who can easily trace Elijah there “ the protocol said.
“ Then do it right away. I am really fed up with Elijah.” Lucianus added.
While there were plenty of unknown elements that surrounded Elijah in his father’s hometown, Lucianus assets were able to keep track on his activity. Elijah was assured of his safety and received protection from Prime Minister David Monroe who knew his English father’s religious activity in England where he was a church member.
“ I cannot stay here for so long Mr. Prime Minister. My men have detected that I had been tracked down by Lucianus’ spies in this country already.” Elijah said.
“ We are always ready to repel any attack from them as we know that sooner or later our confrontation is inevitable” Monroe said.
“ I will be an instrument for that inevitable war if I don’t leave this place now. At least, war can still be avoided.” Elijah said.
“We can defend you against Lucianus at any moment he decides to launch an attack. But if you insist on leaving, I would suggest that you proceed to the Islands of Sta Lucia where you can temporarily hide.” Monroe suggested.
“ I will try to slip to that place Sir to calm down the situation, but I shall return to the Far East to be with my people” Elijah said.
Immediately, the English government facilitated Elijah’s escape to the island of Sta. Lucia where he stayed to resume his online and satellite gospel broadcast. After a day, Lucianus’ emissary arrived in London bringing a message to Prime Minister Monroe.
“ We cannot always allow hunting operation in our country by a government whose mission is to sow terror and employ atrocities to humans. I am sorry we do not have any kind of external relations with your government” the Prime Minister announced.
“ My government would just want to ask permission to capture one dangerous man who has been wanted and at large in this country, Sir.” the emissary said.
“ And who is that dangerous person you want to take by force?” Monroe asked.
“ Elijah Michaels, a leader of a great cult in the East. Wanted by the Vathikan States for sabotage “ the emissary added.
“ The man, Elijah Michaels is a good man and leading many souls to salvation. How could he be wanted for sabotage ?” he added.
“ He has been offending our Master by his maligning pronouncements” the emissary added.
“ What maligning pronouncements? Is there maligning when a church man teaches the gospel ?” Monroe continued.
“ Our Master had declared war against this fellow and his command cannot be spurned.” He continued.
“ And who do you think he is ? We do not know him and we don’t recognize his sovereignty. We are an independent country and not under his dominion.” Monroe insinuated.
“ Sir, your words may be too much, but I shall go home to Vatican bringing your repulsive and inimical reply.” the em
issary said.
“ Your government has been threatening to conquer us and we always receive repulsive words that have been challenging our capability. We can always repel any attack in the event your government launches any military action on us.” Monroe said.
“ Your word is inviting us to a real confrontation, Mr. Prime Minister” he said.
“ Before you go, I want you to know that Elijah has left Britannia already.” Monroe said.
The emissary returned in despair to the Vatican tower bringing with him the frustrating reply of Prime Minister Monroe to Lucianus.
“ He is damned and stupid. Leading his nation to catastrophe!” Lucianus exclaimed.
“ Just a few minutes ago, our tracker said that Elijah has departed Britannia and leading to undetermined location.” the emissary said.
“ Try to track him down and don’t lose your eyes at him” Lucianus commanded.

The protocol approached him and whispered what could be a critical message.
“ What !? Another group of self-professed fundamentalists are evangelizing in the metropolis? Where are they from ? “ he asked.
“ Yes, Master. They’re from Afrika. “ the protocol replied.
“ You know what to do. Go, Go, “ he ordered.
Meantime in France, Lucianus’ woman and partner for life, Claudia was a woman with great interest in politics and religion. She had been an avid listener and viewer of Elijah’s religious program. The woman was intrigued and fascinated by the mystery of Elijah’s gospel revelations.
“ I have been viewing and listening many religious programs all my life, but I don’t understand now why I have become so compassionate with this man’s gospel pronouncements.” Claudia insinuated.
“ Lucianus will get mad at you when he learns that you have been fascinated by Elijah’s teachings.” Her house aide said.
“ Don’t you ever tell anyone about it or I will get you fired.” She warned.
“ Yes. Madam. Trust me, I won’t tell anyone.” The house aide said.
Unfortunately, without their knowledge, behind the pillar of the mansion was the approaching granny-servant who heard about their conversation. Being a trusted servant of Lucianus, she shunned Claudia and her aide after learning the disloyal tale.
“ What ? Are you sure of what you discovered ?” the protocol asked.
“ I heard their conversation and saw the TV program she was viewing.” The servant said.
“ I just can’t believe that she could do this to the Master.” He added.
“ Claudia will get killed or suffer the consequences of what she has been concealing.” The servant added.
“ What do you think we shall do ? Shall we let Claudia and her aide tolerate their treachery to Lucianus ?” she asked.
“ We can’t let snakes grow bigger in this house, or one day we find ourselves being bitten and get killed by their venom.” The protocol said.
The servant thought of confronting Claudia and her aide to give them a chance to live.
“ We can’t allow your treachery stay in this mansion. We are loyal and trusted servants of Lucianus and before he learns about your treachery, you better leave this place now.” The granny-servant said.
“ Who do you think you are ? You can’t just drive us out from house without Lucianus consent. Where is your proof that we’re viewing and fascinated by Elijah’s gospel indoctrination? ” Claudia asked.
“ There is no need to prove. It’s enough that I heard and saw what you had been talking and viewing in the screen.” The servant explained.
“ You will find it difficult to prove your allegations, Granny. “ she added.
“ I have been serving Lucianus for a long time and he knows me well. I have never talked and confided lies to him ever since that made him trust me. If ever, this is the first time I will confide something that will put him in critical situation. So, there’s no reason for him to doubt and think about his security.” The servant explained.
“ I am her woman and he won’t let me out of his life.” Claudia said.
“ That’s what you think. The protocol has already known about your case. By this time he is on the way to the Vathikan to tell a tale.” The granny insinuated.
“ If I were you, I won’t wait for Lucianus to inflict harm or penalty on you. But rather, pack up and escape his wrath.” She added.
Claudia felt guilty and scared by the possible scenario she and her aide would suffer when Lucianus learned of her treachery.
“ Where are we going ?” he aide asked.
“ We will go home to my parents in the Amerikas. We will never come back here anymore.” Claudia said.
Lucianus was infuriated when he learned about Claudia’s treachery and ordered her expulsion from the mansion in France. However, it was too late when Claudia and her aide had already left for the US. Since then, Claudia never showed up to Lucianus anymore.
In downtown Rome, a multitude of South Afrikan fundamentalists were converged in the park pronouncing boldly and fearlessly their religious faith that had been catching attention of the folks. The emissary of Lucianus arrived in limos. Along with other warriors in dark suits they got into the wave of the crowd and reached the elevated portion of the assembly. The emissary got the megaphone.
“ Silence ! Silence ! Who is the leader of this crowd?” the emissary asked.
From the midst of the crowd, a white-curly hair and blonde man in black suit emerged and approached the emissary.
“ I am the leader of this congregation” he said.
“ And what is your name?” the emissary asked.
“ I am Minister Robert Dunhill of the Afrikan Christian Freedom Church” he replied.
“ In what authority are you doing this street evangelization in our very own premises ?” the emissary asked.
“ We’re appealing to the nations of the world to support our congregation so we can feed our starving fellow citizens and be unified through our religious doctrine in preparation for the coming judgment “ he replied.
“ Do you know what you’re talking about ?. And do you know where you are ? ” the emissary asked.
“ I know and we all know that we are in the territory of what you believe is the Master of the world. Lucianus, the ruler of the world and the leader of the new world order of the Vathikan States, the most powerful union of States of the Global Covenant Church” he pronounced.
“ I believe you know that your country does not belong to the Vathikan States. And don’t you know that anyone who is proclaiming his faith other than our faith in this country will be eliminated?” the emissary said.
“ You cannot do that to us. We invoke the international freedom of religion that is accorded in the Geneva Convention. You cannot harm us because our nation as a whole will defy your drastic action in us. “ Dunhill insinuated.
“ You’re so courageous and gallant to face the consequences of your action. “ the emissary added.
“ The world knows the filthiness of Lucianus and his congregation. He cannot conceal the iniquity and the evils he has been doing. All those things will come to an end. “ he added.
“ I am giving you twenty-four hours to leave this country or all of you will be in trouble” the emissary warned.
“ We’re ready to fight and to die whenever necessary so that the world may see the filthiness of your works. You can’t hide anything to the world now. The people will be incited to rebel against you when they cannot swallow your filthy works “ Dunhill added.
The emissary and the warriors were silenced when the crowed murmured and began to hiss. They were moved and quickly they left the crowd.
“ I saw the man on the screen. He is brave and bold.” Lucianus said.
“ However, Master, he is inciting the citizenry to sedition . What shall we do now ?” the emissary asked.
“ Summon Pastor Swanson. He’s the right man for Dunhill.” Lucianus said.
“ We need not worry about Dunhi
ll. He and his followers are in dire need. They need feeding “ Lucianus insinuated.
“ But how can we stop them? The way he spoke means something that may give us a big deal. He is ready to repel “ the emissary explained.
In a few minutes Pastor Swanson arrived.
“ Swanson, I believe you know what’s going out there. Deal with this fellow named, Dunhill from Africa.” Lucianus instructed.
“ I know He just needs some feeding. But wait. Be sure to know what’s keeping him blatant “ Lucianus said.
“ Yes, Master. “ Swanson replied.
Pastor Swanson got the attention of Minister Dunhill in a nearby coffee shop while his followers were hanging around the city.
“ It doesn’t make any sense if you will continue your campaign. You’re be putting yourself and your people in danger.” Swanson said.
“ What do you want us to do? Dunhill asked.
“ Yield. Lucianus will give what you need.” Swanson added.
“ Yield to his evil doctrine?” Dunhill asked.
“ No. Our mission is to propagate our Christian doctrine and ask the support of the citizenry and not his.” He added.
“ Don’t be a fool Dunhill. Who among us doing pious works do not think of amassing wealth and get the caprices we crave in life and live affluently all the days of our lives?” Swanson insinuated.
“ I know that you’re enjoying all those earthly things working for Lucianus leaving all the good works for the sake of evil. You’ve corrupted many and lived a life that’s heading to damnation.” Dunhill added.
“ Don’t be hypocrite, Dunhill. This is a critical time for mankind. We’re living in desperation and might be heading to a worst scenario in the days to come. People will turn away from righteousness because of extreme situation. All the powers and material things will turn to nothing but to this great world order of the Vathikan. Lucianus has all the powers and the empire of wealth. He will be adored by the world as he will provide support to those who believe in him” Swanson explained.
