Chapter 1014: Chapter 807, Minister of Political Affairs Chapter 1014: Chapter 807, Minister of Political Affairs Wu Heng's mind stirred, and without waiting for the other person to speak, he waved to those behind him. The carriage curtain was pulled back, revealing several bags of money inside.
The Commander's expression softened upon seeing the money and he waved his hand, prompting the soldiers behind him to quickly go and take the money.
After verifying the amount, the Commander didn't continue to stare at him.
He spoke indifferently, “Well done. Keep it up. The Supreme Commander has mentioned that if you continue to perform well, the South District will also be entrusted to you.”
Wu Heng nodded, “Thank you for the Supreme Commander's recognition, and thank you, Commander, for your promotion.”
The Commander frowned, “Where did you learn those words? They don't suit you.”
“I heard them from a Bard.”
“Go back then, and focus on your duties.”
“Alright.” Wu Heng waved his hand, and the gang members reformed ranks and began to disperse.
Upon returning to the gang headquarters,
Wu Heng told several gang members, “You heard what the Commander said; if we do well, the South District will also become our territory. When that happens, with more hands, you all will be the core members, earning more money for less work.”
The members' eyes sparkled with zeal, “Don't worry, Boss. We will definitely do a good job.”
“Go on then, attend to your own duties. Keep things quiet recently, don't stir up trouble, and kick some of those bad habits.”
“Yes, Boss,” the members responded and all dispersed.
Wu Heng also returned to his room and took off his mask.
Quietly waiting.
By noon, Bella was the first to fly back.
“Wu Heng, I've found the Minister of Political Affairs, a Level 13 professional, a member of the Secret Cultivation Hall.”
Level 13 professional?
In the gang's distribution, the Minister of Political Affairs gets 40% while the Supreme Commander only gets 30%.
Only Level 13?
“Let me see!” Wu Heng said.
Bella nodded, directly entering his body, and shared the recent vision she had.
After the gang members had left.
At midday, someone came to collect the money, and Bella followed them into a mansion.
Inside the mansion, she saw a woman with graying long hair, wearing a pearl necklace, and dressed very lavishly.
The money bag was handed to the woman, who put it away.
Still sitting at the table, she twirled the gold ring representing the Secret Cultivation Hall in her hand.
Bella was surprised to see the ring and flew straight back.
The shared vision ended.
Wu Heng released Bella.
Glenda asked, “Is she from the Secret Cultivation Hall?”
“Wearing the ring of the Secret Cultivation Hall and judging from her attire, she must be a member,” Wu Heng said.
Bella also said, “She wears the ring normally, and the people in that mansion probably all know her identity.”
“It seems the Secret Cultivation Hall is no longer content with just being merchants and has started occupying significant positions,” Glenda mused.
“No surprise there, spending so much effort and financial support on the Second Prince, they're bound to occupy important positions,” Wu Heng said.
“What agreement the Secret Cultivation Hall has with the Second Prince is not important to us,” Glenda looked over femininely, “Wu Heng, what will you do next?”
“What else can we do, capture her and 'Communicate with the dead'!” Wu Heng said.
Glenda agreed, “That's what I was thinking too. Dragging this on isn't good for us or Wen Mansha.”
“Let's act tonight.”
Both Glenda and Bella nodded.
At dusk, Xiao Xiao flew back in.
Somewhat surprised, she said, “Sister Beini is back already? I thought I would be faster!”
“I came back a bit faster because I made some discoveries,” Bella said.
Wu Heng looked towards Xiao Xiao, “Did you find anything?”
“No, another batch of money was taken by that Level 14 Commander, and now he's gone on a date with a woman. I came back first,” Xiao Xiao was a bit embarrassed, “Uncle, will this delay your plans?”
Watching her expression, Wu Heng smiled and said, “No, Sister Beini has brought back some intelligence, so we'll act tonight.”
“Oh, thank goodness Sister Beini is here,” Xiao Xiao said, smiling again.
“Then let's get ready to move out tonight.”
“Okay!”
The night fell heavily, shrouding the entire city.
The Patrol Guard carrying torches passed by, and darkness engulfed the area again.
Wu Heng stood in a pitch-dark alley, his feet on the muddy, foul-smelling debris, glancing occasionally at the distant mansion and the guards on the surrounding walls.
Soon, the ghost returned.
“The man is dead,” Bella said.
Wu Heng nodded, “I'll check the location and then teleport in.”
Bella dove into his body, sharing the visuals from inside the mansion.
After confirming the location, the Teleportation Technique was cast, the Array slowly formed, and the next second, he appeared in a dimly lit bedroom.
He pulled open the curtain to look outside; the Guard Team was still on normal duty, apparently unaware of anything unusual.
Bella also flew back from outside.
Pointing at the bed, she said, “The person is there, I asked Xiao Xiao to stay outside.”
Wu Heng looked towards the bed where two naked bodies lay, their necks twisted into spirals.
An old woman and a young, sturdy man.
“Who's the other one?” he asked.
“How would I know? They were together when I arrived,” Bella replied.
Wu Heng nodded, gathered the clothes around, and wrapped the bodies together with a blanket, stowing them into the Space Ring.
With a snap of his fingers, he used the Teleportation Technique again to leave.
The Array appeared, and Wu Heng's figure returned to the gang's room in their base.
Glenda was still sitting inside the room and asked, “Is it handled?”
“A Level 13 professional, not too difficult,” Wu Heng said, taking out the two bodies.
Glenda frowned at the naked bodies, “Did you kill them midway?”
“Was I supposed to wait for them to finish?” Wu Heng continued, “Cover them with sheets, Xiao Xiao will be back soon.”
“She's a ghost, she's going to be exposed to this sooner or later,” Glenda said, covering the bodies with simple sheets.
“Give it a few more years, she's still young.”
“You expect ghosts to grow up?”
Wu Heng didn't respond, instead he took out the female Minister of Political Affairs's Space Ring and, after putting it on, started taking out the items inside.
Jewelry, Elixirs, scrolls, lots of gold and silver coins.
Then came a Secret Cultivation Hall ring, several letters, and a letter of appointment.
He opened the letters one by one.
They contained some plans being devised, including actions against Lundham City and the Crown Prince.
Corresponding with outsiders?
Had he guessed wrong? Was the Second Prince really not in the city?
He continued searching through the clothes on the floor.
The Minister's clothes had several defensive items, but given the circumstances, these had been tossed aside.
At that moment, Bella and Xiao Xiao also flew back from outside.
The bodies were loosely covered with sheets.
Wu Heng immediately released “Communicate with the dead,” and the bodies abruptly sat up.
Wu Heng directly asked, “Where is the Second Prince?”
The body answered, “The Second Prince, your Highness, has been placed in a hidden location by the elders; I don't know where.”
The Minister of Political Affairs doesn't know?
Wu Heng thought for a moment, then asked, “Is he in this city?”
“In the city!”
