Chapter 173: Not enough right to
After returning from the cemetery of death, Han Shuo discovered that Emily was standing next to him as soon as he reappeared from the secret chamber.
“So you’ve seen your little lover?” Emily immediately asked when she saw Han Shuo.
“Regarding those siege weapons that Bob Ascher asked for, Phoebe is completely out of the loop. Moreover, I told her everything and she will cooperate completely with our work. I think, we can conceal the fact that Phoebe is implicated in this.” As he walked out of the transportation matrix, Han Shuo retrieved the six magical sticks one by one while explaining to Emily.
“If Phoebe is truly ignorant of the situation, then she won’t be implicated in this matter. We of the Dark Mantle will definitely not treat a good person with injustice. In the future, you will know of this,” Emily resolutely replied. Then she smiled tenderly and said, “You entered her room in the middle of the night, did she not mistake you as a rapist and beat you up?”
“Of course not,” Han Shuo replied with a straight face.
Emily stared intently at Han Shuo, trying to decipher something, but she realized that Han Shuo’s expression was bland with absolutely no particular changes.
“Alright alright, let’s leave this matter as it is. I just received a message. That Belinda that you released contacted me using your method. I don’t know what happened.” After Emily realized that she could not read anything from Han Shuo’s expression, she dropped the matter and continued to talk about proper business.
Before he released Belinda, Han Shuo had left her a means to contact him and told Emily about it so that she could keep an eye on it for him. Now, when he heard her say this, he immediately replied, “That’s good. Then let’s go meet Belinda right now to see what she wants.”
Han Shuo traveled with Emily to the Dark Forest where he had previously killed the two Gryphon knights. Although he had already left some insurance on Belinda’s body, Han Shuo continued to be very cautious. He had been utmost vigilant on the way here, afraid that he would fall into one of Belinda’s schemes.
“Uncle Johnny, this is precisely what we need!” Belinda suddenly spoke up beside Johnny.
“You’re likely members of the Lancelot Empire?” Johnny wasn’t an idiot and naturally made out Han Shuo and Emily’s identity at this point.
Nodding, Emily admitted, “That’s right. I hope you can keep this secret for us if we work together.”
‘Humph. You people are so fake. You’ll cooperate with us when you need us, but will pretend you don’t even know we exist when the matter passes. You’ll come at us with everything you have.” Johnny sneered with utmost sarcasm.
“Then the matter’s settled then. We’ll tell you if we find a suitable time to kill him in the next couple days. We’ll let you know when the arrangements are made. You can make use of the time to find more helpers, otherwise it won’t be that realistic in wanting to kill Bob Ascher.” When Han Shuo saw Johnny’s experience, he knew that although the latter didn’t care for those who worked for the country, he seemed to be used to using others. He looked like he’d agreed to work together.
With the Calamity Church’s current level of strength, it wasn’t feasible to assassinate Bob Ascher alone. Han Shuo and Emily had agreed to work with them not because they hoped they could kill Bob Ascher, but they wanted to make use of the chaos to slip into his manor and obtain the information they needed, and then use the Dark Mantle’s power to take him down.
“Alright, then this matter is settled. I hope you two don’t get up to some tricks, or you’ll regret it.” Johnny finally agreed with a darkened face.
