Chapter 1175: Chapter 892, They Wouldn't Come to Poach People, Right? Chapter 1175: Chapter 892, They Wouldn't Come to Poach People, Right? The Fifth Princess's voice carried a tinge of loss.
Her previous thoughts of sibling affection had completely disappeared after this incident.
Wu Heng asked, “Have you questioned the corpses?”
The Fifth Princess took a deep breath to calm herself and said, “Dean Gianvito used a scroll, and these people are from the Shadow Brotherhood. They were hired to assassinate me, and they came from the direction of the Yeko Kingdom.”
Continuing, she said, “The Dean mentioned that this organization operates within the territory of the Human Race, specializing in accepting assassination contracts, and is quite infamous.”
The Shadow Brotherhood?
His own skeleton attendant Tiao Tiao was a member of the Shadow Brotherhood.
He was caught attempting to assassinate Wen Mansha in Lundham City and was subsequently imprisoned, where he underwent zombie cultivation.
According to the information gathered earlier, the Crown Prince's supporters were from the religious sect, the Second Prince from the Secret Cultivation Hall, and the Secret Cultivation Hall had hired the Shadow Brotherhood for certain tasks.
The people who came to kill the Fifth Princess this time were also from the Shadow Brotherhood.
Either the Crown Prince had hired the Brotherhood as well, or the Secret Cultivation Hall was up to some tricks again.
“What does the association say about it?” Wu Heng continued to inquire.
The Fifth Princess replied, “They only told me to stay on the association's premises, and also mentioned they wrote a letter to you and headquarters, asking me to wait for reinforcements.”
Until the new Flag-bearer was appointed, Wu Heng was still the Jade Sea Flag Bearer.
It was still his responsibility to dispatch reinforcements.
Wu Heng then asked, “The assassins didn't leave, did they?”
“The association has information that the assassins are staying outside the city, not too far away. They're suspected to be waiting for others or planning another attack,” the Fifth Princess replied.
Wu Heng sat in his chair and thought for a moment. He had no other plans today.
He could go help the Fifth Princess with this matter and at the same time, add some high-level zombies to the prison.
After deciding, he said, “I understand, don't go outside; wait for me to deal with it.”
“You're coming over?” The Fifth Princess's tone carried a hint of self-reproach. “I'm troubling you again.”
“Let's leave it at that for now. We'll talk more when I get there.”
“Alright!”
After hanging up the phone, Wu Heng sat in his chair, deep in thought.
Then he gave his seat to the skeleton Investigator and rose from his chair, walking out of the room.
As he headed upstairs, he saw Shanaela, dressed in fresh clothes, coming down the stairs.
“Heading out?” Wu Heng asked.
Shanaela replied, “I'm going to check on the progress at the Church.”
“The Fifth Princess sent a message via radio. The City Lord's Mansion was attacked last dusk. She's now staying at the local association's dormitory,” Wu Heng informed.
Shanaela's brows furrowed sharply. “Is she hurt?”
“She said she isn't hurt, but some skeletons were lost,” Wu Heng explained.
“The Crown Prince's people?”
“From the Shadow Brotherhood, and there's a high chance they were hired by the Crown Prince,” Wu Heng leaned on the stair railing.
Shanaela pondered for a moment and then asked, “What are your plans?”
“I'll go there myself. The Phantom Train is fast, I'll deal with those people first,” Wu Heng replied.
Shanaela, no longer in a hurry to leave, looked at him and said, “When you get there, arrange for a high-level skeleton to protect her. You can't always be running around everywhere as a Leader.”
“Alright, I'll do as you say,” Wu Heng said with a smile, nodding.
“I'll be going out now, and I'll be back early in the evening,” Shanaela said, resuming her descent.
Wu Heng then returned to his study.
Glenda and Bella were in the room, and Xiao Xiao must have gone out to play.
He called upon the two ghosts in the room and greeted Mini.
He summoned the Phantom Train in the courtyard and headed to Netalee City.
The train reappeared.
It had arrived at a wilderness just outside Netalee City.
Wearing his hood, he walked directly into the city.
In the time that had passed.
Netalee City had revived somewhat.
The streets were bustling, and the pubs and shops along the streets were open for business as usual.
The most noticeable were the lampposts erected on both sides of the road, which also flew the flags of Gold and Silver Island and the Yeko Kingdom.
To outsiders, Gold and Silver Island and Netalee City had signed a defense pact.
In reality, the Fifth Princess had promised him joint governance over the territory.
Looking at the unusually lavishly decorated lampposts, the invisible Glenda floated beside him and said, “The Fifth Princess has been doing a good job.”
Bella also chimed in, “Last time, this place looked like Ghost City. It's much livelier now.”
“After all, she's of Royal Family origin, received a different education than us. Being good at management is expected,” Wu Heng remarked.
Bella said, “That might not be entirely true; I feel the Second Prince isn't as strong at management as the Fifth Princess. Despite occupying so much territory, he's being attacked from both sides.”
“The Second Prince is somewhat special,” Glenda also said with a smile.
The Second Prince had managed to bungle a good hand.
With officials following him and the Secret Cultivation Hall providing funds, he had both people and money.
In the end, he was attacked by the Crown Prince from the front and by Lundham City from the back.
If it hadn't been for the Religious Leader investigating the Crown Prince, they wouldn't have waited for Wu Heng to arrive. The Second Prince might have been finished.
The two souls conversed as they walked.
Upon entering the association's hall, the two ghosts kept silent to avoid drawing attention to themselves.
Wu Heng stood in front of the notice board for a moment but didn't see an announcement from headquarters declaring him as Leader.
Judging by the timing, the news was still en route.
He took out the Inspector's Emblem and showed it to the guards at the dormitory entrance.
He went upstairs and arrived at the door of the Fifth Princess's dormitory.
He softly knocked on the door.
Quickly, the Maid who was always with the Fifth Princess cracked the door open slightly and peeked out cautiously, “Whom are you looking for?”
Wu Heng removed his hood, revealing his usual appearance, “It's me, Wu Heng.”
“The Great Detective.” The Maid's eyes lit up, and then she turned to run back into the room, calling out, “Princess, the Lord Island Master has come to save us.”
