Chapter 1171: Chapter 890, Leader in their 20s_3 Chapter 1171: Chapter 890, Leader in their 20s_3 The maids were babbling messily, their tones filled with excitement.
Wu Heng also understood the meaning behind their words–his official appointment by the headquarters had been announced.
From this moment on, he had truly become the Leader of the Association.
“Stay calm; it's not a big deal!” Wu Heng patted several of the maids on the head.
Andre Willow looked up at him, curiously asking, “Master, aren't you surprised at all, did you know about this in advance?”
Still the clever little fox.
“I had heard about it from the Lilith Leader.”
The maids nodded, showing they understood.
The sound of 'tap tap tap' running came from upstairs; Xiao Xiao controlling a puppet ran down, looking at the group gathered at the stairway entrance, puzzled, “What's going on, what happened?”
Robey said, “Master has been appointed Leader by the Association.”
“Oh!” Xiao Xiao responded, then said to Wu Heng, “Uncle, I'm going to find Sister Lilith.”
“Go ahead, and have Lilith Leader come over for dinner tonight,” Wu Heng said.
“Okay.” Xiao Xiao nodded and ran out directly.
Robey said, “Xiao Xiao knows too?”
“Lilith mentioned it while Xiao Xiao was also there,” Wu Heng responded, sitting down in the living room with the group.
Mini took out three letters from the Space Ring and handed them over, “Master, the Association also sent over two more letters.”
Two letters!
Wu Heng took them, placing two on the coffee table, and directly tore open one to read.
The first letter was the appointment decree from the headquarters.
Written in complicated terms, the main content was that Wu Heng's level had risen to Level 20 and had made outstanding contributions to the Association, thus being appointed as the Field Leader, entitled to the same treatment as the Association Leader, except for executive powers.
The latter part stated that upon becoming Leader, the positions of Flag-bearer and Inspector would be canceled.
Wu Heng finished reading and was not at all surprised.
As the new Leader, he would naturally possess authority above that of the Flag-bearer and Inspector; thus, these titles were unnecessary.
Moreover, the levels associated with the Flag-bearer and Inspector did not match his own.
Their cancellation was not an issue.
Continuing, he tore open the second letter.
This one was an ordinary letter.
“Respected Leader Wu Heng:
Upon hearing that you have become a hero revered by all, during this moment full of cheers and applause, please allow me to offer my belated congratulations.
Previously, you placed an order for Deceit Puppets, which I have carefully considered, and am willing to fulfill the making of Deceit Puppets for you.
However, regarding the payment, I have a special proposal, hoping that you can help me promote my reputation, in exchange for crafting the Deceit Puppets…
…I look forward to your response and hope our cooperation can proceed smoothly.
–Mortimer.”
A reply from the Deceit Puppet Master.
The puppet Xiao Xiao used was now ordered from Lilith, but there were still two Ghosts at home hoping for bodies.
From the tone of the letter, the Puppet Master did not seem as elusive and bizarre as Lilith had described.
The content indicated that he was willing to accept the order but did not want payment–instead, he sought help in promoting his reputation.
Lilith mentioned last time that he had reached Level 19; it seemed he hoped to leverage Wu Heng's help to make a breakthrough.
He would discuss with Glenda later in the evening how to fulfill this cooperation.
Putting down the letter, the maids were still looking his way.
Wu Heng said: “One is a letter from the headquarters regarding my appointment as Leader, the other is from the Deceit Puppet Master who plans to construct puppets for the Ghosts like the type Xiao Xiao has.”
“Oh!” The maids realized.
They thought there might be something special, but it was still the same matter.
Wu Heng asked, “Where is Shanaela?”
“Upon knowing you became a hero, Sister Shanaela went to meet some representatives from the Chamber of Commerce who are still on the island, and she hasn't returned yet,” Mini explained.
Wu Heng nodded, then said, “Let's celebrate tonight; Mini, call Xi Ligui and Mackintosh over to the island for dinner.”
“Alright.”
Hearing about the celebration, the maids all stood up to prepare for the evening banquet.
In Netalee City, at the Fifth Princess's mansion.
Several figures in black robes were slashing their way through the Skeleton Guards with speed.
Wherever they passed, swathes of Skeletons were shredded by Sword Qi and Magic, scattering into a pile of white bones.
“There! Try to catch them alive,” someone shouted, leading two others straight towards the Fifth Princess.
The Fifth Princess's face showed grave concern; she gripped her sword tightly until her fingertips turned pale.
Whoosh–!
Dark clouds amassed in the sky, followed by streaks of Thunder striking down from the heavens.
The charging figures suddenly halted.
An old mage with a white beard, accompanied by several Association members, quickly approached from a distance.
“Dean Gianvito!” the Fifth Princess exclaimed as if she had been granted a reprieve after a catastrophe.
Dressed reminiscent of Gandalf, the old mage had a floating beard and an angry face as he roared at the few people opposite, “You dare to barge in here; you're looking for death!”
Boom–!
Another clap of Thunder struck from the sky, the black-robed figures instantly losing several members.
The rest of the Association members also launched an attack on the remaining assailants.
Although the Religious Leader had returned to headquarters, the investigation into the Yeko Kingdom had yet to be finalized, and Netalee City was a critical location for the Association.
These people were here to kill the Fifth Princess, showing a blatant disregard for the Association.
Seeing the mission fail, the leader of the killers shouted: “Retreat!”
After speaking, they turned and ran.
The Association members and the surrounding Skeleton Guards began to close in.
“We've only caught two; the rest escaped,” the Association member reported upon return.
Gianvito ordered, “Catalog their characteristics and issue a wanted notice throughout the city.”
“Yes,” the member responded and left.
Gianvito turned to the Fifth Princess, “Your Highness, please come with us to the Association's residence for now–it's safer.”
The Fifth Princess took a deep breath, “Alright, please wait a moment; I'll go back and get some things.”
After saying that, she went upstairs with the Maid,
And slipped the walkie-talkie Shanaela had given her into the Space Ring.
