Captulo 1562: Chapter 58: Midnight Visit (Part 3)
Dorudu never imagined that the legacy of Tercon he searched for in vain, would be known to Taniel.
Did Taniel know it beforehand?
Or were clues gathered afterward?
Or perhaps something else?
It doesn’t matter!
None of this matters now!
What matters is where Tercon’s legacy is!
"At the Southern Suburb Farm!”
Taniel replied.
Southern Suburb Farm?
Boom!
It was as if a thunderbolt struck in Dorudu’s mind.
Wrong!
He was wrong from the beginning!
That bastard Tercon didn’t keep the laboratory away from Lorde, but instead placed it right under everyone’s nose.
This way would leave most people directionless.
But it truly fits the condition of having numerous corpses and being unexpected.
Is the Southern Suburb Farm lacking corpses?
No, it isn’t.
There are at least hundreds of farmer corpses.
If you count the thieves, it’s thousands of corpses.
Unexpected?
It fits even more.
If Taniel hadn’t told him, he wouldn’t have thought of that place until now.
Who would have imagined that a place occupied by a gang of thieves would be Tercon’s new laboratory?
"Let’s go!”
"We’re heading to…”
"Sir, wait.”
Dorudu was eager to set off.
But he was stopped by Taniel raising his hand.
Dorudu was about to frown and curse out loud, but he recalled the information Taniel had just given and his own diplomatic role, and he forcefully held back, speaking in a relatively calm voice: “Taniel, is there anything else?” ɽ𝔞ꞐОᛒЕŠ
"What’s your relationship with Samen?”
Taniel asked.
"Samen?”
"What’s wrong?”
Dorudu furrowed his brows deeply.
"It’s like this!”
"When I was kidnapped by thieves, and accidentally discovered ‘Tercon’s laboratory’, I saw Samen there as I was about to leave. He should also be looking for ‘Tercon’s laboratory’, and…”
At this point, Taniel paused and deliberately looked at Dorudu.
Now Dorudu’s face was dark, his eyes glinting cold.
That was murderous intent.
This was why Taniel appeared here.
He needed to confirm Dorudu’s true relationship with Samen.
He couldn’t just rely on Samen’s words.
Confirmation was necessary.
Of course, to ensure the two were not putting on an act, Taniel began his own performance,
For example, right now.
"And what else?”
Dorudu asked in a deep voice.
"Moreover, he should have noticed something!”
"When I left, Samen kept circling around ‘Tercon’s laboratory’ entrance.”
"With the distance, even though the thieves are hindering, in less than a day, they will find ‘Tercon’s laboratory’ entrance.” .
While speaking, Taniel observed Dorudu’s expression.
If Dorudu had shown murderous intent before, now it was fully revealed.
Bang!
Dorudu slammed the table, angrily shouting.
"Samen!”
This was true anger.
After pacing around the desk, Dorudu stopped.
Clearly, the ambassador had made up his mind.
"Taniel, I need you to help me kill Samen.”
Dorudu said.
"Of course, I can.”
"However, sir, I’m not skilled in combat, and my strength…”
Taniel first nodded.
Then proceeded to suitably express his difficulty.
"You need not fight; you just need to show you’re joining his camp. With that eager-to-seek-talent posture of the young emperor, Samen will certainly summon you, and I’ll pose as your assistant, at which point we’ll launch a lethal strike.”
"Be assured!”
"This task goes beyond the expected scope; I will pay you extra compensation.”
Seeing the difficulty still written on Taniel’s face, Dorudu immediately said.
Then he gave Taniel a fierce look.
Indicating if Taniel didn’t agree, Dorudu would kill him.
This was what Dorudu learned from the Prince Ruitai—an imposing presence without anger.
Each time facing such a Ruitai Prince, Dorudu felt intimidated, unconsciously began to emulate—sadly, the effect was not very good, always criticized as being bluffingly weak, harming his reputation.
But today’s reaction was satisfactory.
Dorudu saw Taniel’s body shiver.
Then, there was a nod.
"Maybe I was indifferent before, so my gaze wasn’t fierce enough?”
"Now that it concerns my future, everything seems naturally aligned?”
Doulder found the answer himself.
Thinking this, Doulder felt invigorated.
He realized he had found a path that could rival Prince Ruitai.
Although there’s still a long way to go.
But at least he had a goal.
And that’s enough.
Next, it was naturally about catching up.
And now was the beginning of his pursuit.
"Let’s go!”
"Kill Samen!”
Doulder said this.
Then, he attempted to open the room door to leave.
But he was stopped by Taniel.
Doulder glared at Taniel.
He originally intended to use intimidation through his gaze, then have Taniel explain the reason for stopping him.
However, that kind of intimidation was only possible for Prince Ruitai.
He?
It merely turned into a glare.
"Go through the window, it’s more discreet.”
"We not only need to avoid other people but even our own ones. Only when even our people are kept in the dark can we ensure absolute safety. Moreover, that Samen is the head of Lorde’s official Mystical Side—You needn’t worry under Prince Ruitai’s command, but what about your competitors? It’s hard to guarantee they won’t do something nauseating.”
Taniel explained.
At this moment, Taniel felt a bit exhausted.
He always felt Doulder was an empty shell of a waste.
Otherwise, at this point, he should have understood the intention behind his recent actions and cooperated closely.
No need for such a lengthy explanation.
Why did Prince Ruitai send out Doulder?
This doesn’t fit the other party’s style!
Taniel thought inwardly.
Doulder then nodded in realization, pushed open the window, and leaped down.
Taniel, however, picked up a cloak from the side and leaped out as well, simultaneously closing the window in mid-air.
…
Samen returned to his residence.
Different from Doulder’s embassy district.
Due to his Secret Agent status, Samen resided in a place hidden within a residential area, which had a grocery store as a disguise—naturally, the store owner had died due to the ‘Lorde Disaster Day’, and Samen was a distant nephew and the owner’s only relative, thus inheriting the grocery store rightfully.
The official documentation had no issues whatsoever.
Moreover, there were a few witnesses.
Including the surrounding neighbors.
This wasn’t bribery.
But rather, that the owner also had a Secret Agent status, and every year, a man resembling Samen would visit specifically to show his face before a few neighbors.
This was naturally the handiwork of the Secret Agents.
However, not all of them.
Only a particularly special dozen received such treatment.
Samen was one of them.
Outstanding talent, outstanding capability, were among the key reasons for receiving such treatment.
More importantly, it was due to the young Emperor’s appreciation.
At this moment, Samen, who was placed high hopes upon, was sitting in the room quietly thinking.
Thinking about his actions.
Thinking about his meeting with Jason.
Thinking about everything that happened at the southern suburb farm.
Reflection was a necessary daily action for Samen.
Today was no exception.
"Impulsive!”
"Should’ve been more prudent!”
"Fortunately, Sir Jason agreed—didn’t expect Sir Jason to inherit everything from Sir Beta, it’s truly wonderful.”
Samen thought with a slight smile.
Sir Beta was someone they had strenuously tried to enroll but never succeeded.
For some reason, the chivalrous ‘Old Knight’ chose neutrality between the young Emperor and Prince Ruitai.
Fortunately, there’s still Sir Jason.
A high-level professional joining our camp is absolutely a boost of confidence.
Though there’s still an indelible gap with Prince Ruitai, yet one step closer.
It’s a good enough start.
Next step…
While Samen was still thinking, he suddenly looked toward the direction of the stairs.
The next moment—
Knock, knock knock!
"It’s me, Taniel.”
Accompanied by knocking, Taniel’s voice rang out.
Samen walked downstairs, opened the door, and looked at Taniel outside and a cloaked stranger—not Jason, although the face was unclear, Samen’s perception told him so.
"Taniel, do you have…”
Before the words were finished, the cloaked person made a move.
A sharp dagger, thrust straight at Samen.
Thud!
Blood splattered.
