Chapter 996: Chapter 794, 18 Levels to Kill Her (One chapter today.)_2 Chapter 996: Chapter 794, 18 Levels to Kill Her (One chapter today.)_2 “When I come back, I will accompany you every day.”
“Who cares about that.” Shi Yali said before adding, “Be careful, don't take any unnecessary risks.”
“I know, Gold and Silver Island is in your hands now.”
“Hmm!”
Having finished speaking, Wu Heng hung up the phone.
Mini stood by and said, “Master, are you leaving now?”
“I'm leaving now. If there's anything, notify me through the radio.” Wu Heng walked outside.
He couldn't delay matters concerning Wen Mansha; he needed to go as soon as possible.
“Okay, Master, please give our regards to Sister Wen Mansha,” Mini said.
He walked into the courtyard.
Wu Heng directly put on the Train Captain's Hat, waved goodbye to the maids, and boarded the train.
The next second, he vanished from sight.
At the headquarters of the association, inside the castle.
The heavy wooden doors were slowly opened.
An old man, holding a wooden box in his hands, entered the room and bowed to the black wooden coffin in front, saying, “Miss, the latest medicine tablets have been sent over from Gold and Silver Island.”
The room fell into a brief silence before the coffin lid was opened and Lilith propped herself up on the edge. She glanced at the box in the elder's hands and asked, “Is this all there is?”
“Just one box,” the elder continued, “I also saw the same kind of boxes being delivered to the Hongwen Alliance and the Field Envoy hall.”
A frown formed on Lilith's brow as it seemed that a box had been sent to each familiar party within the association.
“Bring it here.”
The elder brought over the wooden box, and Lilith took out a bottle of medicine and opened it. The first thing that appeared was a neatly folded instruction manual.
Lilith looked over the content, her brow slightly raising.
She then fell into thought.
“Miss, is it a letter written to you by Island Lord Wu Heng?” the elder asked with a smile.
Lilith handed the instruction manual to him and said, “To be plotting for himself so early, he really is confident.”
After glancing at it, the elder also smiled, “Island Lord Wu Heng is indeed full of surprises.”
Lilith laughed softly, “Clever trick.”
Tap tap tap~!
Footsteps once again echoed from the direction of the corridor.
A person stood at the door and spoke softly, “Leader, there's a visitor outside. Leader Hadara invites you to the hall for a council meeting.”
“Understood.” Lilith got up, quickly made herself presentable, and headed toward the meeting hall.
Inside the brightly lit council hall.
Four leaders entered the room one after another and sat down in their respective places.
Aside from the Religious Leader who was still outside, the rest of the ruling leaders had all been summoned here.
Once everyone had arrived,
Field Envoy Leader Hadara spoke, “We've received complaint letters from alchemy organizations everywhere, stating that Gold and Silver Island's medicine tablets are affecting local interests, demanding that the association intervene to prohibit their sale.”
The leader of the Hongwen Alliance and Lilith each glanced this way, their expressions revealing a sense of 'as expected.'
Only the Hunter leader, the Dwarf Bruno furrowed his brow and stroked his beard, saying, “Those kinds of medicine tablets have begun to be sold? When did this happen? How come I didn't know about it?”
No one paid attention to him, while Lilith looked around at the people present and said, “The market is about survival of the fittest, and moreover, the association has no precedent for suppressing others' innovation.”
The Hongwen Alliance hero glanced this way, “Survival of the fittest does indeed fit this situation. I also advise against the association interfering in this matter.”
Hadara nodded, looking toward the Hunter Dwarf Leader, “Bruno, what do you think?”
“I have no objections,” Bruno immediately replied.
Hadara said directly, “Then I'll have headquarters issue an announcement that we will not intervene in this matter.”
The others nodded in agreement.
Lilith regarded the two Elven heroes,
and her thoughts also shifted slightly.
It was no wonder he had sent out two extra boxes of medicine tablets. He had anticipated that someone would come to headquarters to complain.
With the tablets delivered, they would understand the characteristics and effects of the medicine, rather than just seeing the content of the complaint letters.
Good or bad, it would be instantly apparent.
This guy had really considered everything.
After the meeting concluded, everyone left the council hall.
The train door opened, and Wu Heng alighted.
Looking around, it was still a wilderness.
Splash!
Having just pulled up his trousers beside a tree,
Three wolves the size of calf bulls sprang out from the grass behind, pouncing straight towards him.
Boom~Thud!
Sounds of fighting erupted, Kai Xiu quickly threw punches, and in the blink of an eye he sent the three wolves flying away, his footsteps following closely, he snapped the wolves' necks in succession.
“Wrap them up.” Wu Heng took out a grass mat.
Kai Xiu wrapped up the bodies of the three wolves, and Wu Heng directly put them into the Space Ring.
Then, he released three Ghosts.
“Are we there yet?” Glenda asked.
“We've arrived, determine the direction,” Wu Heng said.
Xiao Xiao stretched her body, then flew down, “Uncle, it's over there.”
“Let's go.” After determining the direction, he traversed through the forest.
Upon sighting the distant city walls, Wu Heng cast the Teleportation Technique to get close to the city.
He strode inside.
Nothing seemed off within the city; on the streets, one could see Beastmen and humans shopping, quite lively.
It seemed, the assassination plan was aimed only at the City Lord and some important officials, with little impact on ordinary citizens inside.
Perhaps the outside world didn't even know about the assassination attempts on the Island Master.
He traveled all the way to the City Lord's Mansion.
“Open the door,” Wu Heng shouted to the Skeleton on the wall.
Creak~
The gate opened, and he walked straight through.
Entering the courtyard, he immediately saw Wen Mansha holding a child, and upon seeing Wu Heng, her face showed surprise, “Master!”
Wu Heng embraced her, “I'm here now, it's all right.”
“I've worried the master,” Wen Mansha said softly.
Wu Heng was about to speak when another figure emerged from the house.
With long brown hair tied back, bright eyes, and slender embroidered eyebrows, she was dressed in Leather armor, taking slow steps towards them.
A shiny-furred Cheetah was following at her feet.
Slyther!
Steward of Black Stone Town.
“Slyther,” Wu Heng's eyes brightened.
Wen Mansha explained, “Steward Slyther was worried about me and the child, so she stayed behind.”
Slyther said, “I just came to check on Money Cat, and also to help Wen Mansha with the child.”
Wu Heng opened his arms, “Come here.”
Slyther stood still, just quietly watching him.
Only the Cheetah came over and rubbed against his trouser leg, showing affection.
Wu Heng naturally hugged the Cheetah, “It's always been just the two of us.”
“Let's go inside first!” Wen Mansha said.
After entering the room.
The three of them sat down in their respective seats, Wen Mansha soothed the child for a while and then handed him over to the Skeleton Ghost Hag who took him to another room.
Then, Wen Mansha recounted her consecutive experiences with assassination attempts.
Continuous assassination attempts, and high-level professionals had already appeared among them.
After listening, Wu Heng asked, “Can you be sure it's related to the Second Prince?”
Wen Mansha shook her head, “The envoy of the Second Prince even came to visit me, it felt like he was trying to distance himself from the matter, but apart from him, I can't think of anyone else who would spend so much to assassinate me.”
“Where does he live?”
“In the Iron Axe Tavern, in the Outer City Area, on the second floor, the fourth private room, to be exact. He looks like a thin, tall middle-aged man, dressed more like a merchant, and his retainer is a brawny warrior, judging from the weapon, looks like a Heavy Sword Warrior,” Wen Mansha pondered as she spoke.
Wu Heng nodded, and with a slight glance to the side, a Ghost flew straight out.
Inside the tavern's private room.
The thin, tall middle-aged man, twirling a ring on his index finger, said softly, “Has Wen Mansha not left the City Lord's Mansion yet?”
The brawny man replied, “She must be scared out of her wits, shall we try to attack the City Lord's Mansion?”
“That's difficult, the Inner City District is guarded by Skeletons; we don't have the advantage if we go in, and it could possibly anger her, prompting her to take action against us,” the thin man said, “In a few days, an 18th-level professional will be arriving on the Phantom Train, he will deal with Wen Mansha.”
Hearing about an 18th-level professional, surprise flashed across the brawny man's eyes.
