All of the information and logistical support John had ever desired stood before him. At least two thousand years of it, going by just one of Armande's titles. Based on his knowledge of the material on the tablets, at least five thousand years. How does one walk away from that?
Jesus was a heretic, and as His follower, so am I. Most, if not all of our history, is a lie. A lie perpetuated by men and institutions in league with the man standing before me today. Yes, John was somewhat convinced that these lies may have been necessary, but he didn't have to like them.
Staring at the outstretched hand of the Regus, another proposition came to mind.
καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ Ταῦτα πάντα σοι δώσω ἐὰν πεσὼν προσκυνήσῃς μοι
And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me
"Et dixit illi haec tibi omnia dabo si cadens adoraveris me"
John whispered. Looking back into Armande's eyes, "As much as I may come to regret declining your offer, some things come at too high of a price. For years I have waited and searched for someone who possessed the answers at your disposal. Someone who could help me achieve the maximum impact in this war on the Darkness. And yet here I walk away. I serve another."
John walked over to a briefcase resting in the corner and placed it on a coffee table. "We don't have much time, do we?"
John opened up the briefcase for Armande. One hundred million dollars cash, all in crisp thousand dollar bills. "'Only fools believe that we war not with the flesh.' Monsters and demons come clothed in flesh as well as in the spirit. And weapons and other materials require money. And lots of it. You kill your wolf, and I will kill mine."
