"We have followed your instructions and have been secretly spreading the Holy Relic that the Steam Church has lost is very likely in the hands of Chen Kong in District 12 of Rust Iron Hell."
Scorpio Leighton lowered his head and whispered, showing no trace of the arrogance one would expect from Twelve Brass Nobles.
Tiandao tapped the armrest of the sofa with his finger and asked, "How did Bishop Cleve react?"
He believed it.
Leighton's tone was very confident.
"After all, he knows better than anyone what the real Holy Relic should be, so this kind of half-true, half-false information is the easiest to lure him in."
"Only..."
Leighton's Adam's apple bobbed, and he finally couldn't help but say, " Chen Kong is just a weak Rank 2 Star Envoy. Do you really think he can withstand the pressure from the Church on his own?"
"If he is captured by the Church, it will not only expose that the Church's true Holy Relic are not in his hands, but it will also immediately implicate us, thus affecting our plan to seize the ' Authority of Law ' from the Mechanical God Cult."
I think
Leighton wasn't questioning the Tiandao's decision; he simply couldn't trust Chen Kong's strength.
After all, when Euphemia Andromeda Euphemia went to 'intercept' the goods, she personally fought with that kid.
If it weren't for the protection of her special identity as the ' Starborn ' at that time...
Euphemia could have killed that kid instantly, before he could even react.
Before Leighton could finish speaking, Tiandao interrupted, "Just do as I say, don't think about doing anything unnecessary, otherwise..."
Tiandao leaned forward, slowly pressing down the sunglasses on his nose with his fingertips, revealing a pair of pale blue eyes that gleamed with a dangerous Glimmer.
He gazed at Leighton not far away with a smile.
"I'll kill you before you do anything bad."
Although Tiandao's tone was playful, Leighton couldn't detect a trace of joking in it.
Yes, but it's a silent threat.
"Understood"
From Leighton's perspective, Tiandao could understand his concerns.
After all, Bishop Cleve wanted to ensure that he had complete control over this self-directed and self-acted drama.
However, they specifically hired the Qianxia Group from Martial Arts Heavenly Capital to deliver the goods.
This clearly shows how much he valued the Holy Relic.
Therefore, it is foreseeable that Chen Kong will face immense pressure as they spread this news.
But those who have read the original story know the Tiandao.
Being wanted by the Church was something Chen Kong was destined to experience.
All I did was get everything back on track.
So, after glancing briefly at the silent Leighton, Tiandao turned to look out the window.
Seeing the Tiandao looking at her, Euphemia, dressed in a pure white dress, subconsciously licked her red lips with the tip of her tongue.
A flush crept across her fair cheeks.
This scene, which should have been extremely tempting, had no effect whatsoever on Tiandao, who knew the true nature of this guy.
" Euphemia, someone will be investigating you soon."
"This person not only vaguely guessed your true identity, but may even know that I joined the Hidden Star Society. I guess he must have planted spies in the Hidden Star Society, or he may have some other intelligence channels."
"Oh? There's such a person in the Steam Capital? Who is he?"
Euphemia straightened up, her white skirt sweeping across the ground with a soft rustling sound.
"My Deputy Captain, Yu Chen."
"He?"
Euphemia raised an eyebrow, her exquisite and charming face filled with confusion.
Leighton, who was not far away, seemed to understand something, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
The Tiandao Dao witnessed this moment of panic, but did not expose it.
Meanwhile, Euphemia, standing by the window, asked in confusion, "But I've never had any dealings with him before, so why would he be targeting me?"
Upon hearing this, Tiandao, who was leaning back on the sofa, explained casually, " Euphemia, do you still remember the Church orphan who ran away from you twelve years ago?"
"Twelve years ago..."
Euphemia tapped her chin with her fingertip, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly laughed.
"Oh, it's that clever little rascal."
"But I clearly remember that after he managed to escape to the Lower City, I immediately asked the Grey Rat Gang in the Lower City to bring back his body for me, and they did indeed give me a body."
At this point, Euphemia finally understood.
She clicked her tongue twice, then said with disgust, "What a bunch of greedy sewer rats. They didn't complete the task, but they still handed in a fake corpse to fool me."
"It's just that my position in the Church was unstable at that time, and I was distracted by other things. Otherwise, how could I have been so easily deceived by them?"
Tiandao replied, "He was lucky; he happened to run into William, the previous generation of Clockwork Knight was patrolling the Rust Iron Hell, while he was fleeing for his life."
"As a price for being spared by William, and out of greed for your reward, the Grey Rat Gang simply kept it a secret."
"But this kid was afraid of implicating William, so he didn't tell William the truth. After recovering from his injuries, he quietly left the Steam Capital and only returned six years ago."
Euphemia continued, "When you came back, you became the Association Star Envoy, Yu Chen, right?"
The Tiandao Dao nodded, indicating that this was the truth of the matter.
After hearing this, Euphemia pondered for a moment, then suddenly clapped her hands and said, "No wonder Vivian, the tribute I had my eye on five years ago, suddenly obtained Star Source three days before I was to collect the goods, and was thus chosen by the bishop and incorporated into the Church Knight Order."
"So it was him who was behind it all! He made me so angry I had no appetite for days!"
At this point, Euphemia licked her lips, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in her eyes.
" William, that kind old man, has done a lot of good deeds. Even though he's been dead for so many years, there are still people who remember his kindness and are willing to risk exposure to save his only daughter."
"It's a pity that the Steam Capital wants everything, but it doesn't want a nice guy like him."
"Even if he hadn't died in that special mission six years ago, I would have joined forces with Cleve to secretly take action on his way back."
At this point, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Euphemia's eyes.
"Although it was a mistake I made twelve years ago, it's not too late to make amends now."
" My Lord Tiandao, would you please allow me to give this brat Yu Chen..."
"No need."
Tiandao interrupted her, then took the soda from Little Danika and said, "Let him investigate. This will distract him and make my plans in the Association go more smoothly."
"After all, with me in charge right now, Cleve can only truly kill Vivian and shut her up by making good use of the Twelve Brass Conference."
"And I also need him to help me gather these guys together without any defenses."
As he spoke, Tiandao's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he shook the soda in his hand vigorously. Before Little Danika could react, he suddenly opened the soda bottle!
Pfft!
The spray of soda instantly soaked Little Danika.
The little guy was so angry that he bared his teeth and raised his hand to wipe his wet little hands on Tiandao as revenge.
But at this moment, the Tiandao changed its attitude of contempt and indifference towards Euphemia and the others.
Smiling, I gently pressed down on the other person's head to prevent them from getting the sticky soda all over me.
After all, he was Tiandao the one who bullied others, and there was no reason for him to actually be bullied back.
joke!
Watching Tiandao playfully interacting with Little Danika, Euphemia, bathed in moonlight by the window, curtsied and said in a sickeningly sweet voice, "Don't worry, Lord Tiandao, I'll know my limits~"
That being said, Tiandao was not listening at all at this moment.
Because a certain little guy, seeing that his revenge was futile, had been driven to the brink of despair by the will of Tiandao.
"Master Tiandao!"
"Why are you yelling so loudly? You were the one who brought this soda over, is it my fault?"
"But you shook that soda on purpose!"
"I may shake my soda, but what does that have to do with you getting sprayed by it? Don't meddle in lord matters, what do kids know?"
"Aaaaaah!!!"
Looking at the little guy in front of him who was so angry that he was going crazy, Tiandao not only felt no remorse, but also laughed with schadenfreude.
Although bullying others is a bad habit, Tiandao feels that he seems unable to break it.
Because happiness is more interesting when it's built on the suffering of others!
