The plan succeeded

After Duke Negan left Washroom, he waved everyone around him to leave, as if it didn't happen.

From the time he left Washroom to the time he returned to the banquet center, Secretary Lockhart of Duke Negan came over. "Duke, what just happened? How do you bring in all the guards?"

Lockhart is originally Twilight Hermit Order's person, responsible for providing Duke Negan's trip information.

Although he didn't know Twilight Hermit Order's actions, he estimated that there would be an assassination in the next two days, so he came to test the matter at this time.

Duke Negan looked at Lockhart with a smile and said, "It's nothing, it's just for safety reasons."

The most important thing Kronos reminds Duke Negan is his Secretary problem.

As a Secretary who has been with him for so many years, any change in Duke Negan will be discovered by Lockhart.

Lockhart I have never seen the smiling face of Duke Negan. I felt something was wrong, but I couldn't explain the problem, so I suppressed my doubts for the time being.

The two continued to walk towards the banquet center, and at this time, a person was walking across from them. This person was Baron Gramir.

In the original Timeline, Duke Negan was always surrounded by the great nobles, so Qilingus was not qualified to get close at all.

But things are different now. Kronos has introduced Duke Negan into Washroom, which provides this disguised "little noble" with an opportunity to get close.

Qilingus is getting closer and closer to Duke Negan. A disguised flattering smile has appeared on his face, and he plans to say Fatal Strike after he gets completely close.

At this moment, Kronos, who had just walked out of Washroom, saw Audrey following Qilingus from a distance.

After Audrey reported the situation at the scene to the Earl Hall and Mr. Fool, he went around looking for Vice Admiral Hurricane who was disguised as Baron Gramir.

Seeing this Vice Admiral Hurricane walking towards Duke Negan, this Miss Justice shouted loudly and prepared to expose this matter in public.

In fact, at this time, even if Miss Justice directly exposed it, it should not be able to change the situation.

Pallas·Duke Negan is just Judge of Sequence 6, and opposite him is a who owns Creeping Hunger's Sequence 6's Wind-blessed, and behind him there is a Sequence 5's Mentor of Disorder with evil intentions.

But Kronos doesn't want this kind of change to happen.

Because he knew that Twilight Hermit Order did not intend to use Lockhart in this assassination.

So it is unknown how Lockhart will react.

If the traitor did not choose to cooperate with Qilingus, but instead helped Duke Negan, then it would not be so easy for Qilingus to complete the assassination.

So Kronos dodged and came behind Audrey. He did not touch Audrey abruptly with his hands, but directly suppressed all actions of Audrey with the majestic Spirituality.

"I'm sorry, Miss Audrey, you'd better be quiet here Rian." This was the first sentence spoken by Mr. Fate and Miss Justice in Real World.

He didn't expect Audrey to be so tough. Under the suppression of Demigod-level power, she still gritted her teeth and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Kronos chuckled lightly and did not answer.

Just after Qilingus arrived in front of Duke Negan, the flattery on his face instantly turned into murderous intent. A short blade appeared in his right hand and stabbed Duke Negan in the chest.

The moment Qilingus's short blade appeared, Negan knew that what Kronos said to him had begun.

Kronos clearly saw Lockhart's expression not far away. He was shocked at first, then flashed with a hint of surprise, and finally moved back a small step, as if he didn't see anything.

The traitor obviously didn't want to help Duke Negan and wanted to promote the success of this assassination.

For this attitude, Kronos really wants to give him a thumbs up.

When the assassination began, the entire scene was in chaos. No one paid attention to Audrey and Kronos who were standing aside. Only Audrey, who was closest to Kronos, heard the sound of the match sliding, but he didn't know why.

Although Duke Negan is Judge from Sequence 6, logically speaking, Sequence is the same as Qilingus, so there shouldn't be too much difference in strength.

But perhaps because he was used to living a comfortable life, the first blow just barely avoided the vital point and was still scratched on the chest.

Afterwards, Duke Negan tried to escape, but Qilingus was obviously faster and did not give Duke Negan a chance to open his mouth, so he stabbed him in the back with a knife.

A thrilling assassination ended like this. Duke Negan, who played an important role in the Loen Kingdom, was killed at his own banquet.

But there is one thing, at least this time Duke Negan did not die in bed and did not bring more sexy news to Backlund.

Qilingus glanced around and found that the people around him had already fled to nowhere, and even the guards did not appear, so he laughed wildly, turned around and fled the scene, as if he had not seen Kronos and Audrey next to him at all.

Kronos chuckled in Audrey's ear, and then said, "Miss Hall, my goal has been achieved, and we will see you next time."

After saying this, Kronos gently knocked out Audrey and put it aside.

After completing all this, a person walked out from the stone pillar not far away and said, "This little girl is still very beautiful and matches your status. I believe Hall will not prevent you from contacting her."

Kronos said helplessly, "Uncle Negan, you have just been assassinated in public. To start making such jokes now would be a bit disrespectful of your own death."

Kronos's words made Duke Negan, who had a playful smile on his face, become more serious. "Will that person escape?"

Kronos shrugged. "Who knows? Whether he escapes or not, he will only think that he did kill Duke Negan."

If you look around again at this time, you will find that although the surroundings are messy, there is no trace of blood, and there is no body of Duke Negan who was stabbed in the back by Qilingus.

In fact, the first time Qilingus took action, Kronos moved, which was the sound of a match sliding when Audrey heard it.

Fairy Tale Magic: The Little Match Girl.

This move appears in the original work and condenses burning matches, which can cause the enemy to fall into hallucinations.

The Kronos just condensed into a huge illusion, including everyone present.

Everyone saw Duke Negan being assassinated, and then fled in a hurry. Qilingus clearly saw the whole process of assassinating Duke Negan, but in fact he was just waving his short blade randomly in the open space.

As for Duke Negan, he was independent from the illusion, so he also saw Qilingus waving the short blade randomly.

So just as he had discussed with Kronos, he hid aside in advance and waited for Qilingus to leave.

Now that everything has settled, even if Qilingus did not die in the end but was caught by Church of Storms, he would only think that he killed Duke Negan.

Kronos quickly took out the corpse that had been prepared before, laid it down on the last position of Qilingus, and then used a knife to fill in the necessary marks on it.

"Uncle Negan, do you have any private rooms in this house? Maybe you need to hide for a while."

Duke Negan was mentally prepared for this matter, so he took Kronos to a place Secret Room.

"This is a location no one knows about, so it should be safe."

Kronos looked around, the room was quite good, and the traces on the outside were also very clever, so it was not easy to be discovered.

"Lockhart doesn't know either?" Kronos asked.

Duke Negan thought for a while, and then said, "He may have suspected that there is Secret Room in this room, but he probably doesn't know the specific location."

As someone who has been with Secretary for so long, there is no way to completely hide many things from him.

Kronos nodded, and then said, "That's it for now, Uncle Negan, is there anyone you trust? I can call him over for you."

Duke Negan is now in a bit of a dilemma.

Speaking of trustworthy people, there must be some, but Secretary Lockhart himself is no longer worthy of trust, so how many of those originally trusted people are really worthy of trust? Duke Negan dare not confirm.

After hesitating for a moment, Duke Negan took out a Badge and handed it to Kronos.

"Kronos, originally you saved my life today, so I shouldn't make excessive demands anymore, but now I really don't dare to confirm how many trustworthy people there are around me."

"I wonder if I can ask you to temporarily pretend to be my nephew before Philip comes back, and take charge of Backlund affairs for the time being."

"I believe that within a week, Philip will definitely return to Backlund, and we will definitely have generous gifts to thank you by then."

Kronos can understand Duke Negan's thoughts, and also thinks that this approach is very sound.

Kronos can understand the problem of Lockhart because this situation is introduced in the original work, but for others, Kronos is not sure.

No one knows how many people Adam has placed in this world in order to complete his Apotheosis Ritual.

But don't wait until the end, when Duke Negan, whom you tried your best to save, died here in the end, then you really failed in your efforts.

So after thinking for a moment, Kronos took the Badge bearing the Negan family crest from Duke Negan's hand and obeyed Duke Negan's instructions.

After Time Barrier was planted in Secret Room, Kronos officially took over the place as Duke Negan's nephew, Mills Negan.

The influence of Duke Negan destined his affairs, just like a Cannonball dropped, it exploded instantly.

It didn't take long for Negan Residence to be surrounded by countless politicians and military officers.

They also include Church of Storms Cardinal, Backlund Diocese Archbishop, and "Spellsinger of God" Ace Snake.

In the team led by God's Dove, Kronos saw Alger.

Kronos didn't care about those politicians and military officers. Dealing with these people was not Kronos's strong point.

He came directly to Church of Storms's team and said to Ace Snake: "Cardinal Snake, I wonder what happened to the thug who assassinated my uncle?"

Kronos Clearly saw a hint of gloom in the cardinal's eyes.

"Qilingus is dead. A strong High Sequence killed him, or he used Sealed Artifact of the same level, but this is quite dangerous and the possibility is not high."

"After preliminary observation, I think the strong High Sequence who is 'Death God' Pathway may be a member of Numinous Episcopate, or may be a member of other Secret Organizations."

"The motive is unknown."

Cardinal Snake did not hide the situation. After all, Church of Storms and Negan can be considered allies. Even if Duke Negan died unexpectedly, the alliance still exists.

Kronos showed a surprised expression, and the surprise was genuine.

He didn't expect that in the end it would go back to the original ending. This God's Dove's persuasion clearly showed that Fool's "Angel of Illness" Mr. Azik took action.

That's good, at least that piece of Creeping Hunger will fall into the hands of Klein like the original situation.

Kronos no longer needs to worry about his future combat power.

But Kronos wanted to continue his performance at this time, so he maintained the surprise on his face and asked, "You mean, the person who attacked my uncle is probably a member of Numinous Episcopate? What is their purpose?"

Cardinal Snake shook his head. "I don't know, and I can't be sure of the other party's identity. I can only say that there aren't many strong High Sequences from Death Pathway. Most of the ones I know are in Numinous Episcopate, or... forget it, it's not important."

Kronos probably guessed what Snake was going to say next. Most of the High Sequence strong ones from Death Pathway are among Numinous Episcopate or Church of Evernight.

But you can't say this. Who knows if Negan will lose his mind and really take revenge on Church of Evernight.

After all, there was some friction between the two forces because of the issue of military control. If it was really Church of Evernight who took action, this matter really makes sense.

But Snake himself knows that both churches want to control more armies, but they will never take action against Duke Negan, because their common opponent is Royal Family. How could they backstab each other so early?

So after considering all these factors, Snake did not name Church of Evernight.
