Chapter 619: Chapter 446: Aileen Holds the Winning Ticket (4000 words)_2

No matter if it was Miluo, Asina, or Silf, all of them were quite capable masters. Even though Aileen was very confident in her own strength, she dared not get too close, barely hearing a bit of their voices, muffled and unclear.

It seemed that Qin Chu had been severely injured.

This was normal, or rather if Qin Chu showed no signs of injury, Aili would have been shocked.

Aili wasn’t sure what had just appeared in the Void, but she could feel how overwhelmingly oppressive it was. Under the spread of a red glow, even breathing became laborious for her; the sound in the sky was like thunder, causing her legs to give out and making her kneel on the ground, offering her submission. Even though it had faded, the memory alone made her shudder involuntarily now.

That was a presence from another level that she couldn’t contend with.

The fact that Qin Chu could confront such a monstrous existence had already sent shivers down Aili’s spine. If Qin Chu had come out unscathed, Aili would have been driven to despair, perhaps even abandoning her plans to assassinate Qin Chu and revive Jie Luo.

Aileen’s gaze fixated on the distant inn’s window, her eyebrows tightly knitted. She really wanted to get closer to confirm.

But she couldn’t, as the inn was sealed off by a Magic Restriction, preventing her from getting near.

And it was a very powerful Magic Restriction, probably set up by that woman Asina, right?

The more it was like this, the more Aileen was convinced that Qin Chu’s injuries were terribly severe, otherwise Asina wouldn’t have spent the energy to lay such a powerful Magic Prohibition to keep everyone away.

Pretending nothing was wrong was merely to conceal the news of the Hero’s severe injuries.

Aileen felt that she had almost figured out Silf’s and Asina’s plan.

After all, if something really happened to the Hero, his death or him becoming a cripple, the positions that Silf and Asina held, dependent on the Hero’s survival, would be severely impacted. They might even be held accountable for not protecting the Hero properly.

Thus, the two of them strained themselves to hide the Hero’s severe injuries, while on the other hand, they contacted the women in Oville Empire Imperial City, especially that mysterious silver-haired, red-eyed woman skilled in Magic Potion Refining, to have her come to the Kingdom to treat Qin Chu, to speed up his recovery.

In doing so, the period before Qin Chu’s severe injury healed and before the arrival of the other women was the best time to assassinate the Hero.

At this time, just dealing with Asina and Silf would simplify the situation by hundreds of times.

Aileen’s eyes shone brightly.

Although there were still some things she couldn’t confirm, Aileen no longer had the time to worry about them.

After all, this opportunity was rare, and missing it would mean she might never have another chance.

Taking a deep breath, Aileen’s figure silently vanished.

The Elf King Alfred had already passed away, but he could still be of some use, at least his room was being used as a temporary base.

At this very moment, the Elf King’s residence was filled with a large number of people.

These people were clearly divided into three groups.

The most conspicuous were not the ones in the largest number, the men in black, but three exceptionally tall figures whose appearances were noticeably different from normal humans, cloaked under strange capes. Even a brief glance at the faces of these three would cause one to instinctively shudder, feeling as though the hairs on the back of their neck were standing up, scalp about to burst.

What kind of faces were those?

There was no trace of color on their faces.

It could hardly be called a human face at all, but rather seemed like human skin was forcibly stitched together to form a face, and the workmanship was rather bad and crude, since one could clearly see the traces where the skin had been forcibly torn.

To say they were people was a stretch; they were more like monsters.

It was a mystery where Aileen had found these three individuals.

But despite their ugliness, no one dared to complain.

Simply because the strength of these three... was formidable.

Even just approaching them, one could feel a heart-pounding pressure.

Fortunately, these three were like numb puppets, just standing motionlessly in one place, not provoking anyone intentionally.

Apart from these three terrifying creatures, the next notable group was the men in black; these were members of the Hidden Society. Among them, those Level 80 and above, including Tatter, total about three members, aside from them was a group of over 70 level experts, roughly seventy to eighty people altogether, combined to exert quite impressive strength.

Upon closer observation, one might even discover that some of these men in black were well-known Great Nobles from within the Kingdom.

As for the last person, it was none other than the King of the Exeter Kingdom, Edson.

Sigh...

Accompanied by a slight fluctuation, a figure appeared in Alfred’s mansion.

Aileen had finally returned.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Hero is gravely injured."

"Our opportunity has come." Aileen announced this exhilarating news as soon as she appeared.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up.

"Are you sure?" Tatter quickly asked.

"Absolutely sure. Asina has used Magic Restriction to seal the inn, strictly prohibiting anyone from approaching Qin Chu. If Qin Chu’s condition weren’t terribly bad, why would she go to such lengths? Even Miluo, Fini, and Selma were refused entry when they wanted to visit."

"Moreover, having battled that terrifying being, how could he not be injured?"

Excitement flickered in the pupils of Aileen’s eyes. As she looked around at the many masters present, she said, "Our opportunity has come."

"Asina is now contacting the women of Qin Chu in the Oville Empire Imperial City. The only ones who can protect Qin Chu until those women arrive are Asina and Silf."

"This time, Qin Chu is doomed."

"It’s a pity, Alfred had more potential than I thought. If we could act together, our chances of success would be greater." Aileen expressed some annoyance.

That dimwit Alfred, I had warned him repeatedly not to recklessly provoke Qin Chu.

And now look, he’s gone, right?

Of course, if it weren’t for Alfred’s brave sacrifice and even attracting the descent of the Evil God’s will, Qin Chu wouldn’t be severely injured, and this rare opportunity wouldn’t have arisen.

Looking at it this way, although Alfred is dead, he can still somewhat be considered a contributor to this operation.

Oh, Elf King, rest in peace.

I will fulfill your last wish and personally send him to Hell.

Tatter’s eyes also flickered rapidly, clearly deep in thought compared to Aileen’s excitement, always feeling that things may not be so straightforward.

"Miss Aileen, did you really see with your own eyes that Qin Chu was severely injured?" Tatter asked gravely.

Aileen shook her head: "No, I haven’t seen it myself; this is my conclusion based on various circumstances, but there is absolutely no mistake."

Tatter’s frown deepened: "Miss Aileen, this operation is extraordinary. I think we should investigate thoroughly before acting, just in case..."

"There are no ’just in cases’..." Just then, a cold and authoritative voice suddenly came from inside the room.

"No matter what, I can suppress it."

The voice gradually faded, but the arrogant aura still permeated the surroundings.

Tatter’s pupils shimmered slightly; he knew who the voice belonged to. Since that person had said so, there was no need for him to worry.

Having become familiar with that person’s temperament, he would not express any dissatisfaction.

Aileen’s lips curled into a proud smile: "Gentlemen, we haven’t forgotten what we discussed earlier, have we? After Qin Chu dies, his body belongs to me."

That was the demand of the mysterious person she was collaborating with; he wanted Qin Chu’s body, otherwise, he wouldn’t have arranged for three powerful experts to come and assist.

"Of course, for the Hidden Society, we only need to confirm Qin Chu’s death to fulfill the oracle," Tatter said, spreading his hands.

Only Edson, whose gaze flickered with barely concealed anger: "Aileen, you haven’t forgotten, have you? Once this is done, you are to return my little daughter to me."

Aileen’s smile grew more radiant: "Of course, Your Majesty King Edson."

"Your little daughter, Princess Sona, is living very well now. I assure you, after killing the Hero, I will completely return your most cherished Little Princess unharmed, not even a single strand of hair will be missing."
