The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse
Chapter 993

Chapter 993: Chapter 792, Being Your Shield Chapter 993: Chapter 792, Being Your Shield “I can't worry about so much anymore.”

Wu Heng leaned back in his chair, feeling helpless.

The original plan was to wait until the agency finished its investigation, but now Wen Mansha had been continuously targeted for assassination, and her words reflected a sense of threat.

Especially a threat to her daughter.

The matter couldn't be delayed any longer, lest uncontrollable events occur.

“Should we just kill the Second Prince?” Glenda asked.

Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, “We might not be able to pinpoint his exact location. Let's see how things go, but if we do find him, then kill him.”

The Second Prince, in terms of strength, was definitely not as formidable as the Crown Prince.

However, he was like a persistent thorn, constantly causing trouble for Lundham City.

Glenda, floating nearby, whispered, “With our current strength, killing him shouldn't be difficult. The main issue lies with the Investigation Team. We've only just reached a higher level, and we don't have the foundation those heroes have.”

“I understand. I'll ask Lilith later.”

“She might not tell you. How about letting Xiao Xiao ask?”

Wu Heng thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, “Let's not get Xiao Xiao involved. She finally made a friend.”

“You see to it. I've put the stories of the Great Detective in the drawer. When you leave, just have your little maid follow the sequence to post in the newspapers,” Glenda said.

“Alright,” Wu Heng nodded.

While they conversed,

Xiao Xiao and Bella flew back from outside.

They phased through the walls into the study, excitedly discussing the battle they had just witnessed outside.

Wu Heng furrowed his brow and listened for a while but couldn't make sense of it, asking, “What exactly started the fight?”

Bella explained, “Two guys had too much to drink and started fighting at the table. Then they went back and brought their friends turning it into a brawl, wrecking a whole bunch of tables and chairs at the tavern.”

“People are still fighting while drinking?” Wu Heng was curious.

“Later, the Vice-executive led a team over and arrested these people,” Bella said.

Xiao Xiao added from the side, “Sister Bella and I even broke up the fight. It would have been fiercer otherwise.”

“How did you break it up?”

Xiao Xiao crossed her arms, “Some were trying to fight dirty, so Sister Bella and I took possession and scared them off.”

Bella clarified, “Some wanted to use weapons, so Xiao Xiao and I stopped them.”

Wu Heng nodded, “Well done. You did the right thing.”

“Hehe!” Xiao Xiao smiled.

Wu Heng also stood up and said, “Go ahead and play; I'm going back to rest.”

The ghosts bid goodnight and floated to their respective places.

Wu Heng walked out of the study, reflected for a moment, and ultimately decided against contacting Lilith that night.

He returned to the study to rest.

In the morning, after breakfast,

Andre Willow and Annette headed to the city hall, while Mini and Robey were practicing in the courtyard.

Wu Heng sat in the yard for a while and then checked the time.

He then went upstairs into the radio room.

He looked over the logbook to confirm no one had tried to contact him, then sat down in front of Lilith's radio.

Actually, contacting her last night wouldn't have been a problem given Lilith's usual habits.

After all, reaching out to chat in the middle of the night, although not impolite, was a bit inconsiderate.

He picked up the microphone and directly said, “Leader Lilith.”

After a brief silence, Lilith's emotionless voice came through, “Hmm!”

Wu Heng directly said, “Leader, I wanted to ask about Leader Saidu's progress on investigating in the Yeko Kingdom.”

Saidu was the Religious Leader, currently still leading the team investigating the Yeko Kingdom.

Lilith responded flatly, “Still in the Kingdom. Worried he might come back and cause trouble for Gold and Silver Island?”

Still investigating in the Yeko Kingdom.

And from Lilith's tone, he wouldn't be back anytime soon.

Wu Heng said, “I was just inquiring about the Investigation Team's progress. Leader Saidu is magnanimous, he wouldn't trouble Gold and Silver Island.”

There was a hint of amusement in Lilith's voice, “I don't believe you'd think that! The Holy Court is the most extreme, with deeply ingrained beliefs hard to change. If he does come back, I'll inform you in advance and make some preparations.”

Informing him in advance.

Lilith would still look out for him somewhat.

“Thank you, Leader,” Wu Heng expressed his gratitude and said, “Leader, actually there is another important matter I wanted to ask about.”

“Let's hear it!”

Wu Heng didn't beat around the bush any longer, stating directly, “In the city where I previously served as the captain, there was a battle with the rebels of the Yeko Kingdom. I want to ask, will the conflict between the two factions affect the association's investigation?”

…

At the Steward's Office.

After knocking, the door was opened and an elf merchant, dressed in a light green robe, stepped lightly inside.

He glanced at the two sisters inside the room and, after bowing respectfully, said, “Representative of the Emerald Shadow Chamber of Commerce, meeting Vice-executive Xi Ligui and Assistant Shi Yali.”

Xi Ligui looked at him and nodded, “Mr. Helien, please take a seat.”

The Emerald Shadow Chamber of Commerce was a permanent elf merchant establishment on Gold and Silver Island.

The items that Xi Ligui and Shi Yali needed were also delivered by the ships of the Emerald Shadow Chamber of Commerce.

The elf representative didn't sit down but instead stepped forward and took out a letter from his Space Ring, handing it over. “This is a letter from the Elder's Council.”

Xi Ligui received it.

The representative then took out another letter, “This is Mr. Silvaron's letter.”

Silvaron was the name of Xi Ligui and Shi Yali's father.

Xi Ligui continued to receive it and opened the letter, while Shi Yali moved to her side and sat on the arm of her chair.

Their gazes both fell on the text of the letter.

The content discussed the same issue, urging Xi Ligui to ensure cooperation with Gold and Silver Island.

After reading the letter, Xi Ligui folded it neatly and set it aside, saying, “Last time, I already recommended the Emerald Shadow Chamber of Commerce to city hall.”

They were of the same race, and even without this letter, she would have facilitated this cooperation anyway.

However, it seemed not to go as smoothly as expected.

The elf representative said, “Vice-executive, I've learned that some chambers have already been notified and are going to city hall to discuss this matter, but our chamber hasn't received any news.”

Perhaps feeling a bit too anxious he coughed lightly, slowing his voice, “Our race highly values this trade, so please take extra care and speak more on this matter. The Emerald Shadow Chamber of Commerce isn't inferior to the Starflower Commerce Association and can surely meet the demands of Gold and Silver Island. We're also willing to offer twenty percent of the profits to the steward.”

From his tone, one could sense a hint of urgency.

Previously, he had recommended them to city hall, but it seemed not to have any effect.

The sisters exchanged glances, a hint of confusion in their eyes, since Wu Heng couldn't possibly refuse them this courtesy.

“Call the Island Lord's Mansion and check the situation,” Xi Ligui suggested.

Shi Yali stood and walked to the side, directly using the phone and making the call.

The elf's eyebrows raised–was she already making contact?

It seemed to be some sort of device.

Were relations with the Island Lord's Mansion really that close to allow for direct communication?

Soon, Shi Yali hung up and said, “Let's go to city hall now, they're about to have a meeting.”

The elf merchant's expression brightened, and he quickly stood and bowed, “Thank you, Vice-executive; thank you, Assistant Shi Yali. I shall head over first and come back to express my gratitude after the matter is resolved.”

“Yes, go ahead,” Xi Ligui nodded.

The elf merchant turned and left, taking his people to city hall.

Once they had left,

Xi Ligui remarked, “I heard they're selecting ten chambers of commerce. The Emerald Shadow should be included, too.”

Shi Yali returned to her seat, smiling, “Mini received the call; they said the chamber gave us a split, asking us to go to city hall.”

Xi Ligui raised an eyebrow, “What is this about? Are we really going to take this money?”

Being a steward on Gold and Silver Island had certainly made them wealthy.

Shi Yali resting her chin in her hand, “We might not take it, it's also to make the elf race pay more attention to us, making it better for our parents too.”

“Is this Wu Heng's idea?”

“Definitely him. Who else would think of these things?”

“Hmph, credit to him for having conscience.”

Shi Yali smiled and remained silent.

…

In Island Lord's Mansion's radio room.

The matter of Lundham City, the association headquarters must also have records.

Especially since I had been particularly noticeable recently, I don't believe the Secret Speaker of Lundham City hasn't sent any information along.

Taking the long way round is pointless; better to just come out with it, also showing trust.

Lilith pondered for a moment before speaking, “The chaos in Lundham City is on record at the headquarters. When handling affairs, do not let 'Saidu' catch any leverage.”

Wu Heng's brow raised.

Meaning, the association would not interfere in this matter, but also cautioning not to give Saidu any reason.

“Thank you, Leader. The mansion prepared for you is starting construction, and a large entertainment venue is being built on the island. When it's done, you can consider settling here.”

Lilith said lightly, “You want me to be your shield?”
