Chapter 1061: Chapter 842, Insulting Each Other Chapter 1061: Chapter 842, Insulting Each Other He walked out of the conference room.
At the door, several members of the Association's squad remained, including 'Cavina.'
Wu Heng's teammate during his time in Black Stone Town.
“The Steward, are you alright?” the captain of a squad came over and asked.
Xi Ligui replied, “I'm fine, the personnel from The Holy Court being held can be interrogated normally.”
“Then… what about the Church Knight from just now?” the captain hesitated, but still inquired.
Church Knights were all Level 18 professionals.
On the Association side, there really wasn't anyone who dared to interrogate them.
“Keep him locked up for now, I'll conduct the interrogation,” Xi Ligui said, then instructed, “Everyone go about your business; today's events are not to be spread outside.”
“Yes!” Everyone nodded and dispersed to attend to their own matters.
Shi Yali asked Wu Heng, “Where are you going?”
“I'm heading back first; tonight I have a meeting with a few officials on the island; I'll come over tomorrow to see you all,” Wu Heng replied.
Shi Yali nodded, “Then come for dinner tomorrow; I'll make you something delicious.”
“Sure!”
Xi Ligui and Shi Yali headed towards the office library, while Wu Heng entered the Steward Mansion through the back door of the Association.
He cast [Teleportation Technique] and returned to the Island Lord's Mansion.
…
Back at the Island Lord's Mansion.
Mini and Bella were preparing dinner.
Wu Heng greeted the two women and went straight upstairs.
After waiting in the study for a while, three ghosts flew back through the walls.
Glenda spoke up first, “After the Archbishop returned, someone quickly sent letters to the port; they must have passed the message on.”
Bella asked, “The letters haven't been sent out yet; should we intercept them?”
Wu Heng shook his head, “No need; Xi Ligui will also write to the headquarters. Intercepting such letters is pointless.”
Xiao Xiao spoke discontentedly, “What kind of people are they! When they were bullying us, they said nothing, and now that they can't beat us, they go looking for help, just like a gang.”
Bella chuckled, “It's really quite similar; it's just a matter of what you call it.”
“True!” Xiao Xiao nodded in agreement, “The Association is similar too.”
Bella continued, “I thought the Archbishop would be so formidable! But Shanshan frightened him so much he didn't dare to make a move.”
“Exactly, our Shanshan is the impressive one.” Xiao Xiao flew to the doorway, her transparent little hand patting 'Shanshan's' shoulder appreciatively.
Wu Heng thought for a moment then followed up, “It's not a big problem; they write to the outside, and I write to the outside as well, we just sully each other's reputations.”
“I knew you wouldn't be afraid of this kind of thing,” Glenda said.
Wu Heng looked at her, “You'll help me write it when the time comes.”
“Why don't you write it yourself? You want me to write this too.”
“My handwriting isn't good, and your content is deeper. We're the best, help me write it,” Wu Heng pleaded earnestly.
Xiao Xiao muttered, “If only auntie were here when I was at school.”
Glenda looked at both the big and the small in silence, then helplessly remarked, “Let's wait for the interrogation results from the Association before sending out the letter.”
“Alright, let's wait for Xi Ligui's letter first; then we can refer to it,” Wu Heng said.
Xiao Xiao and Bella flew to the side to watch a movie.
After pondering for a moment, Glenda still said softly, “Wu Heng, your goal is Level 20. Don't get too caught up in these skirmishes with them; if you become a hero, all the problems will be solved.”
“I know.” Wu Heng nodded.
Glenda flew behind the desk, manipulated a book to fly out, and began flipping through it.
Wu Heng also got up, opened the door, and walked out.
…
After leaving the room, he entered the radio room.
On a whole row of wooden tables, different frequencies of radios were set up.
In front of each radio sat Skeleton Investigators, waiting to record information.
Wu Heng looked over the Skeleton Investigators' record books one by one, then sat down at the radio communicating with Lundham City.
He picked up the microphone and said, “Wen Mansha, are you there?”
After about two or three minutes, Wen Mansha's voice came from the other side, “Master, have you arrived at Gold and Silver Island?”
“I just got here today; what are you busy with?” Wu Heng leaned back and asked casually.
“I've just finished feeding the baby; ever since you left, there's been plenty of milk,” Wen Mansha said with a laugh.
“What are you saying, trying to stir up trouble between me and my daughter again?” Wu Heng replied with mock severity.
Wen Mansha's laughter came through from the other side.
Wu Heng continued to ask, “Has the Second Prince's Guard Team arrived?”
As the conversation turned to official matters, Wen Mansha's voice became serious. “The Guard Team and that Princess's servant have arrived; Natalia, posing as the Second Prince, has met with the Commander, and so far, no problems seem to have arisen.”
Wu Heng left the Princess 'Natalia' to continue working overtime with the Second Prince.
Although the arrangements were quite good, he was still worried that some problems might arise.
According to the news from Wen Mansha, it should be about the wedding.
Wen Mansha continued, “Today, I discussed with Natalia, and we have already started to transfer some officials and troops to the cities south of Seter.”
“Just make sure you arrange everything well. Have Natalia continue to write letters to the managing minister to keep in touch, to prevent any problems,” Wu Heng continued to instruct.
“Okay! Is there anything else you need me to arrange, Master?” Wen Mansha agreed and continued to ask.
Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, “I need you to step up my publicity, arrange for the newspapers and bards to get on it, and try to boost my reputation as much as possible.”
“Understood, I'll arrange that soon,” Wen Mansha agreed.
There were no other significant matters remaining.
After a brief chat, the two promptly ended the phone call.
Then, Wu Heng contacted 'Shanaela' from Netalee City and the little pirate 'Philippa.'
Of course, she was no longer a pirate, but the Captain of Gold and Silver Island.
Shanaela had been staying by the Fifth Princess's side, helping her manage some affairs of Netalee City.
According to Shanaela, Netalee City was gradually returning to normal and once again becoming a key port.
According to Shanaela, staff reassignments were still ongoing and quite frequent at the headquarters.
Although no specific intelligence had come through.
But it felt like they were still in a state of readiness for battle, or perhaps had already engaged in conflict.
Heroes were there, and it was so troublesome to handle, making one wonder what kind of people Yeko Kingdom had found internally.
Wu Heng's current goal was to fix the gap in his reputation, and he had no intention of getting involved.
After warning Shanaela to stay safe, he ended the call.
There wasn't much going on with Philippa. She mentioned that she had recently eradicated several groups of pirates and self-proclaimed herself the Queen of the Emerald Sea.
Hearing that Wu Heng had returned to Gold and Silver Island, she said she wanted to visit him in the next few days.
Wu Heng also agreed.
After chatting with everyone, he ended the communication.
Sitting on the chair and pondering for a moment, he then stood up and left the room.
As he descended the stairs, he could hear lively conversations from downstairs.
Walking into the hall, along with Mini and Andre Willow, Mackintosh wore a blue formal dress with a dark shawl.
Seeing Wu Heng coming down, they all stood up.
“Master,” the maids greeted him with smiles.
Mackintosh also paid his respects, “My Lord.”
“Hmm, is dinner ready?” Wu Heng asked.
“We were just waiting for you, Master,” Mini said with a smile.
“Let's eat first, and then talk afterwards.”
The group walked into the dining room and sat down respectively, and dinner was served.
Since it was a celebration of Wu Heng's return, dinner was quite lavish.
After a simple meal.
Mackintosh picked up her glass, took a light sip, and her gaze turned to Wu Heng, “My Lord, I heard that the Archbishop went to the Association.”
“Hmm, he went to the Association to ask for people, but there's no need to worry. The Association won't hand the people over, and an investigation will follow. I'll arrange for the release of the people later,” Wu Heng answered calmly.
Hearing this, Mackintosh's expression visibly brightened.
When she received the message that the Archbishop had intervened, her heart also sank instantly.
No matter how fast Wu Heng's growth was, it was because his future looked promising.
But now, he couldn't suppress the Archbishop of the Church.
Actually, on her way here, she had internally prepared to give up on Wu Heng, so as not to cause him more trouble.
But now… hearing his tone,
It seemed the Archbishop had not achieved his goal, and the Association didn't intend to hand anyone over at all.
Mackintosh hesitated, then slowly said, “My Lord, won't this bring you any trouble?”
“It's fine; Gold and Silver Island is not a place the Church can dictate,” Wu Heng said, then continued, “I need you to arrange for some news to be spread around the island.”
“Tell me!” Mackintosh immediately asked.
Then, Wu Heng roughly recounted the events that had taken place at the Association.
When they heard that Church Knights had struck first and Wu Heng's skeleton had defeated everyone, the entire dining room fell silent.
Only the skeleton wearing a chef's hat and cutting fruit could be heard as the blade fell on the cutting board.
Everyone looked over in amazement.
In their eyes, there was disbelief.
“Just say that the Church was randomly grabbing people on the streets, then tried to use their Church status to pressure the Association to release them directly. The Association and Gold and Silver Island stood firm under pressure and insisted on investigating the matter thoroughly,” Wu Heng directed.
