Chapter Two Is Here / Your Time Has Come (Three Thousand Five Hundred Words)
It's right outside the hotel.
Milo, Fini, and Selma all wanted to go in and check on Qin Chu's current situation.
After all, anyone could tell that the Hero was in a very bad situation when they saw Qin Chu's body falling from the sky.
This was the first time they had ever known that, besides Magic Creature, there existed such terrifying beings in this world.
The crimson light has disappeared.
But the entire royal city was in ruins.
Many residential buildings collapsed. Although there were few casualties due to the protection of the mysterious giant tree, the fear it brought was still shocking. Even now, many residents are still prostrate on the ground, piously praising the Goddess of Holy Light.
The Luo Sisters were intercepted by Athena and Sylph.
The three were not angry; they were only worried.
Milo, in particular, took a deep breath to suppress her panic. "Miss Sylph, Miss Athena... how is the Hero doing now?"
Athena frowned slightly, her expression somewhat subdued, but she still managed a weak smile, "It's alright, Miss Little Saya is taking care of her, everything will be fine."
"Please return, everyone. Our master needs rest now, and the royal city has suffered a severe disaster. I imagine you all have many things to attend to."
Fine?
I'm afraid it's not a good idea?
The suppressed expressions on Sylph and Athena's faces revealed a deep sense of worry in their eyes.
However, with Miss Little Saya taking care of me, there will absolutely be no problem.
That's the most outstanding magician in the world.
"I understand, but please tell Miss Saya that whatever she needs, please inform the royal family and we will do our best to meet her needs," Milo said in a deep voice.
Unbeknownst to the people engaged in conversation, another pair of eyes were watching them from the other side.
It's Eileen.
She just arrived.
Previously, the pressure emanating from the Void was so terrifying that Eileen didn't dare to come over until the Eileen faded.
Whether it was Milo, Athena, or Sylph, they were all quite skilled fighters. Even though Eileen was very confident in her own abilities, she didn't dare to get too close, and could only vaguely hear their voices.
It appears that Qin Chu is seriously injured.
This is normal; in fact, it would be shocking if Qin Chu Aili completely unharmed.
Aili didn't know what had just appeared in the Void, but she could feel how overwhelming the pressure was. Under the spreading red light, even her breathing became difficult. The sound in the sky, like muffled thunder, made her legs almost give way, and she knelt on the ground, offering her submission. Even though it had disappeared, she couldn't help but tremble when she thought about it now.
That was a level of existence she couldn't contend with.
The fact that Qin Chu could fight against such a monstrous existence already terrified Aili. If Qin Chu were to emerge unscathed, Aili would be in despair and might even abandon her idea of assassinating Qin Chu to resurrect Jello.
Eileen's brow furrowed as she stared at the window of the hotel in the distance; she desperately wanted to go closer and check.
But there was nothing she could do; the inn was surrounded by magical barriers, preventing her from getting close.
Moreover, it's an extremely powerful magical restriction; it must have been set up by that woman, Athena, right?
The more this was the case, the more certain Eileen became that Qin Chu's injuries must be extremely serious; otherwise, Athena wouldn't have gone to such lengths to set up such a powerful magical barrier to prevent anyone from getting close.
Pretending nothing was wrong was merely an attempt to conceal the fact that the Hero was seriously injured.
Eileen felt she had almost guessed Sylph and Athena's plan.
After all, if something really happens to the Hero —if he dies or becomes a cripple—the status of Sylph and Athena, who depend on the Hero for survival, will be severely affected, and they might even be held responsible for failing to protect the Hero.
So the two of them did everything they could to hide the fact that the Hero was seriously injured. On the other hand, they contacted the women in Qin Chu's Imperial City of the Orwell Empire, especially the mysterious silver-haired, red-eyed woman who was skilled in potion making, asking her to go to the kingdom to treat Qin Chu so that Qin Chu could recover quickly.
Therefore, the period between Qin Chu's serious injury and the arrival of the other women is the best time to assassinate the Hero.
At this point, things would be hundreds of times simpler if only Athena and Sylph were dealt with.
Eileen's eyes were shining.
Although some things were still unconfirmed, Eileen didn't have time to worry about them anymore.
After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and once missed, it's almost impossible to have another one.
Taking a deep breath, Eileen's figure disappeared without a sound.
The Elf King Alfred is dead, but he can still serve a purpose; at least his room is being used as a temporary base.
At this very moment, a large number of people have gathered in the Elf King's mansion.
These people were divided into three distinct groups.
The most striking figures weren't the numerous men in black, but rather three tall, unusually large individuals shrouded in strange cloaks. A fleeting glimpse of their faces would send chills down one's spine, making one feel a shiver run down their spine and their scalp tingle.
What kind of face is that?
Their faces were completely devoid of color.
It couldn't even be called a human face; it was more like a face forcibly sewn together from human skin, and the sewing technique was so bad and crude that the marks of the skin being forcibly torn were clearly visible on the three faces.
They were more like three monsters than three people.
I really don't know where Eileen found these three guys.
However, despite its ugliness, no one dared to express their dissatisfaction.
Simply because these three people are... very strong.
Even just getting close to you, you can feel that heart-pounding pressure.
Fortunately, the three people were like motionless puppets, simply standing still without making any deliberate provocations.
Besides these three terrifying monsters, there were also the men in black. These men were all members of the Secret Society. Among them, there were three people above level 80, including Tattle. The rest were a group of experts over level 70, totaling about 70 or 80 people. Together, they could unleash some considerable strength.
If you look closely, you can even spot some of the men in black as well-known nobles within the kingdom.
As for the last person, it was none other than King Edson of the Exeter Kingdom.
Call...
With a slight ripple, a figure appeared in Alfred's mansion.
Eileen is finally back.
"Everyone, the Hero is seriously injured."
"Our chance has come." Eileen had barely appeared when she brought exciting news.
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
"Are you sure?" Tattle asked quickly.
"It's absolutely certain that Athena used a magical barrier to seal off the inn, strictly prohibiting anyone from approaching Qin Chu. If Qin Chu's condition weren't so dire, why would she go to such lengths? Even Milo, Fini, and Selma were refused entry when they wanted to visit him."
"Furthermore, after fighting such a terrifying being, is it possible to not get injured?"
Eileen's eyes burned with excitement as she looked around at the many experts surrounding her. "Our chance has come."
"Athena is contacting Qin Chu's women in the Imperial City of the Orwell Empire. Until those women arrive, only Athena and Sylph can protect Qin Chu."
"This time, Qin Chu is doomed."
"It's a pity. Alfred's potential is even greater than I thought. If we could have acted together, our chances of winning would have been much greater," Eileen with some frustration.
I've warned that idiot Alfred many times not to be so reckless as to go and provoke Qin Chu.
This guy wouldn't listen, and now look what happened, he's dead!
Of course, without Alfred's heroic sacrifice and even his act of summoning the will of the Evil God, Qin Chu would not have been seriously injured, and this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity would not have arisen.
From this perspective, although Alfred died, he could be considered a contributor to this operation.
Elf King, oh Elf King, go in peace.
I will fulfill your last wish and personally send him to hell.
Tattle's eyes were also flashing rapidly. Compared to Eileen's excitement, this man was clearly thinking more deeply, and he had a feeling that things weren't so simple.
"Miss Eileen, did you really see Qin Chu seriously injured with your own eyes?" Tattle asked in a deep voice.
Eileen shook her head. "No, that's not it. I deduced this from various situations, but it's definitely not wrong."
Tattle's brow furrowed even more deeply. "Miss Erin, this operation is unusual. I think we should investigate thoroughly before proceeding, just in case..."
"There's no such thing as 'what if'..." Just then, a clear, cold, and authoritative voice suddenly came from the inner room.
"I can suppress it no matter what."
The sound gradually faded, but the Pride aura still lingered in the surroundings.
Tattle's eyes flickered slightly. He knew who the voice belonged to, and since that person had already said so, he didn't need to worry anymore.
They were already familiar with that person's temperament and wouldn't show any dissatisfaction.
A smug smile played on Eileen's lips, "Everyone, you haven't forgotten what we discussed before, have you? Qin Chu's body belongs to me after he dies."
That was the request of the mysterious person he was cooperating with; he wanted Qin Chu's corpse, otherwise he wouldn't have sent three powerful experts to help.
"Of course, for the Secret Society, all we need to do is confirm Qin Chu's death and complete the Divine Oracle," Tattle said, shrugging.
Only Edson, his eyes flashing with barely concealed Wrath, said, "Eileen, you haven't forgotten, have you? After this is done, you have to give me back my little daughter."
Eileen's smile grew brighter and brighter, "Of course, Your Majesty Edson."
"Your youngest daughter, Princess Suna, is living a very good life now. I promise that after killing the Hero, I will return your most precious little princess to you completely, without losing a single hair."

Chapter 449 Your Death Is Coming (3500 words)
Eileen's charming and lovely face was full of smiles, but those smiles only sent chills down one's spine.
She will absolutely keep her promise and return Princess Suna to Edson completely, not a single hair will be missing. However, whether the king will be able to rebuild himself by then is another matter.
The little princess is still alive because they still need to use her to blackmail the king.
However, things might change after it's done.
That little bitch dared to insult her; for that alone, Eileen would never let her live.
When Suna sees her body being cut into pieces, she'll probably regret the insults she once hurled at her, won't she?
Who would have thought that beneath that innocent and adorable face lay an extremely vicious and cruel heart?
Her bloodshot eyes swept across her surroundings. She, Eileen, had three helpers provided by her mysterious collaborator. Although the leader of the Secret Society had not yet appeared, there were four powerful individuals, including the Pride Witch, plus Edson.
Nine powerful individuals at the War God level or above.
The dozens of experts from the Secret Society, each at level 70 or 80, could barely match two War God.
In total, there were eleven people.
This was originally a formation arranged for Qin Chu.
It's really a waste to use it just to deal with Athena and Sylph.
Originally, Edson's three daughters were also to be included.
Of the three daughters, only Milo has reached the level of War God, but Eileen knows that the other two daughters' combat power will also increase significantly after transforming, but it seems that they are completely useless now.
Besides, it's better not to let them get involved, especially that Milo.
The more Eileen looked at the surrounding forces, the more Eileen confidence swelled. "Tell me, how could we possibly lose?"
After a long while, Eileen finally looked away. "Everyone, let's go."
Meanwhile, in the hotel.
There wasn't even a single person guarding it.
Sylph had long since disappeared.
Athena remained in her room, regaining control of the city's rats and keeping a close watch on the situation within the capital.
In another room, Qin Chu's eyelids trembled slightly, and after a long while, he finally opened his eyes.
Qin Chu, who had been unconscious, has awakened.
