A few days had passed. In the Dark Moon City, the rumors of Aguile and Beelzebub were still spreading. However, after Jía announced that Aguile, the deputy legion leader of the Red Blood Legion, would also serve as the deputy guard captain of the palace, it had faded a lot.
What is the deputy guard captain of the palace? He is second only to the guard captain, Kaguli's confidant! Let alone mobilizing the imperial guards, just the privilege of entering and leaving the palace freely is enough to prove the trust of Princess Royal Highness. Will Princess Royal put a suspected dangerous member of the Beelzebub Royal Family near her?
This idea was proposed by Chen Rui. On one hand, it was naturally to resolve the rumors. On the other hand, it was to use his official position for personal gain so that he could freely change his identity to meet Princess Royal Highness.
These days, the relationship between the 2 had steadily warmed up. Except for the last line of defense, Jía had completely fallen. Chen Rui could clearly feel the softness that had been suppressed under the indifferent lord's mask, and he was gradually intoxicated by it.
Under the cold and ruthless beautiful appearance, there was actually a deep fear of loneliness, but she had to face loneliness. Fortunately, she was no longer lonely now. She had a shoulder that she could rely on or "bite".
In the last incident where Chen Rui was shot in the knee, the capital's spy leader who was captured finally confessed under Isabella's secret technique. The main purpose of coming to the Dark Moon this time was to investigate the details of the Cloak Gang's "Aguile". If it was confirmed that Aguile was a descendant of the Beelzebub Royal Family, then he could try to contact and make corresponding promises on behalf of Regent Obsidian. It even included assigning the Dark Moon to the Beelzebub Royal Family as a vassal on the condition that he must overthrow Jía and obey the capital.
This intention was indeed sinister. Now that Obsidian was caught in the "fundraising scandal", he was eager to raise money everywhere to pay off his debts. He had no time to concentrate on dealing with Jía. Seeing that the Dark Moon's power and influence were growing, he naturally couldn't feel at ease. Therefore, he used this insidious trick to induce the Dark Moon to fight internally. He even "ceded" the Dark Moon to the Beelzebub Royal Family who was originally his mortal enemy.
Of course, this "cession" was likely to be just an empty promise. At the very least, it had the effect of delaying. As long as the Beelzebub Royal Family and Jía started a fierce battle, the development of the Dark Moon would definitely stagnate or regress. Obsidian was happy to watch the fire from the other side. At the same time, he used the time when the sandpiper and clam were fighting to try to solve the big problem of the fundraising scandal, then he would free his hands to deal with Jía or Beelzebub.
It was just that Obsidian didn't expect that the spy leader he sent would fall into the hands of the enemy so quickly. He also didn't expect that the person in charge of the Dark Moon's spy department, "Dark Demon", was his former capable subordinate, the Devil's Snare Flower, Isabella, who knew the capital's secret intelligence department like the back of her hand. What was even more unexpected was that the so-called "Aguile. Beelzebub" was simply Jía's "own people".
This information made Chen Rui feel a little regretful because before that, Jía had announced that Aguile would serve as the palace guard captain. If he got the news from the spy leader earlier to contact "Aguile", he could use another identity to feign civility with Obsidian, or he could trick the Regent Royal Highness again.
Of course, Obsidian didn't know that the spy leader was captured at present, so he could consider using some strategies. However, Chen Rui had no time to think about this issue now because this information was "invited" to the Dark Demon's headquarters by the Dark Demon's leader, Isabella, in the name of Delia. Ms. Inni was now in front of him, looking at the sir financial officer with a scrutinizing gaze.
There were only 2 people in the entire room, Isabella and Chen Rui. The rest of the Dark Demon members had already left consciously under the signal of the sir leader.
Chen Rui felt a little guilty being stared at, and Isabella said, "There are a few important questions that are likely to be related to the future development of the Dark Demon. Sir financial officer, please answer them for me."
Chen Rui also wanted to find a topic to distract her attention. When he heard that it was of great importance, he nodded quickly.
"The first question, how much do you know about Lomont?"
The first question surprised Chen Rui. Does Isabella suspect that there is something wrong with my nephew? Perhaps as the head of an espionage department, she has reason to suspect anyone. Although Lomont was lustful and frivolous, Chen Rui could rest assured to leave his back to him without being on guard.
"Although I haven't known Lomont for a long time, no matter what the reason or evidence is, I only have 2 words: absolute trust."
Isabella nodded slightly and asked again, "Paglio is also the same for you right? I learned from Betty that the relationship between you two is extraordinary."
Ms. Inni deliberately emphasized the words "extraordinary". Chen Rui felt a little awkward listening to it. There is nothing between me and that dead duck dragon.
"I'm very curious about one thing now." Isabella frowned slightly, "That day, how did the businessman named 'Simon' escape a blow from me and Paglio?"
The range of this thought jump was huge, and it immediately involved "Simon". Chen Rui quickly explained, "This is the case. I was fortunate enough to obtain a grand master's inheritance in the human world. Later, I gradually awakened some mechanics and life-saving skills, but I could only save my life. I didn't have much combat power. If I didn't stop Paglio later, I would have been killed by my own people."
Chen Rui had been thinking about this explanation for a long time, hoping to fool her. However, Isabella was not an ordinary woman. Her wisdom was almost on par with Teris. She once exposed his fundraising scam of pretending to be "Charles". She was also the first "opponent" to see through Chen Rui's layout.
This time, can I really fool her?
Isabella asked casually, "Oh? Grand master's inheritance? Then the two consecutive teleportation … is your life-saving skill? "
Chen Rui suddenly remembered that "Charles" had shown the skill of double teleportation in the death battle with Broc. His heart tightened, but he could no longer deny it. He had to change the topic again, "Yes, when I accompanied Princess Jía to visit the Bloody Vine Flower Estate this time, the inheritance changed again. I must go to the Bloody Empire to find something special …"
Isabella was the master of the Dark Demon. Chen Rui had used the power of the Dark Demon many times in the Bloody Empire, and the person in charge, Tess, was sacrificed because of this. It was impossible for Isabella not to know some of his actions in the Bloody Empire, so she simply explained it to avoid further suspicion.
"The mechanics of the grand master's inheritance? Are you sure it's just mechanics and not pharmaceutics? "
Isabella's curious rhetorical question made Chen Rui's heart jump. It seemed that Isabella had really suspected the problem he was most worried about. He nodded quickly, "Yes, it's … it's mechanics."
"No wonder you went to the Bloody Empire's Mechanic Association. The so-called inheritance should need mechanical materials." Isabella looked thoughtful, but there was a dagger in her hand. She played with it slowly. It was the "Splitting Shadow" that Chen Rui gave her to assassinate Broc. It seemed to have a deeper meaning when she took it out at this time.
"Why don't you go to the Shadow Empire's Mechanic Association? You know, with the current relationship between the Dark Moon and the Shadow Empire, even the rarest materials are much easier to get than the Bloody Empire. Or perhaps … you have a hidden reason why you can't go to the Shadow Empire's Mechanic Association? "
Chen Rui's back was already in a cold sweat. This woman's thinking is too quick, and every sentence is to the point. If this continues, I'm afraid that my trio-specialized genius mechanic master identity will be exposed. He had to change the topic, "It's not that I don't want to go to the Shadow Empire, but this thing is only available in the Bloody Empire. It's called … Fertile Yuan Soil."
"I'm sorry, I have no intention of spying on your secrets. I'm a layman in mechanics. I will believe whatever you say." Ms. Inni's words made Chen Rui secretly ridicule. Isn't this spying on my secrets?
"You did a great job this time. You even pulled down the Demon Realm's top master, Nate. As for Fonsaq, it should be your secret. I don't want to ask more." Isabella gently stroked the back of the "Splitting Shadow", "This kind of ingenious strategy of going to the enemy's core alone, disturbing the enemy's internal affairs with tricks, killing the enemy's general, and finally escaping by faking death, I seem to have seen it on another person."
Chen Rui's little heart was already beating violently. He quickly explained, "I just used tricks to avenge a friend. As for General Adelaide, he died under the infighting of several princes. I don't have this ability."
Isabella said unhurriedly, "Oh, that's my mistake … It's just that everyone has their own habits or styles. No matter how the form changes, it's hard to change the things in the bones, isn't it?"
Chen Rui felt more and more scared. He suddenly thought of something and patted his head, "By the way, I have an appointment with the little princess today to take her to a place. She should be looking for me everywhere this time. If there are no other questions, I …"
This sentence was not a lie. Chen Rui originally promised the little loli today to take her out for a "trip". This "trip" was actually to the underground world of Mountain Xilang to hand over Fertile Yuan Soil to the Earth Elemental King.
Fertile Yuan Soil had the ability to repair itself. Last time, the powerful Black Miss Long took a big bite of it as a seasoning. It had completely recovered now, so it was time to go to the Earth Palace of the earth elementals.
"Do you like flowers?"
Isabella didn't wait for him to finish, and she asked faintly. Her beautiful blue eyes looked directly into Chen Rui's eyes.
This sentence seemed to have multiple meanings. Chen Rui looked away guiltily, "These questions don't seem to have anything to do with the 'future development of the Dark Demon', right?"
Isabella snorted coldly, "Of course it has something to do with it because these questions are very important to me, the master of the Dark Demon. This will directly affect the future movements and development of the entire Dark Demon. Now, I want to hear your answer."
Is this a threat?
Chen Rui inexplicably thought of his "threat" to Jía that day. Retribution comes so fast.
"It's … it's okay." Chen Rui replied awkwardly. This flower is … Devil's Snare? Snow Dallet?
"You seem to have been in a coma for a long time. Since Lomont is here, and there is also a powerhouse like Paglio who has a close relationship with you, why do you need to rely on the Fountain of Resurrection to remove my evil voodoo?" Isabella's sentence once again showed a big leap in thinking, and she went back to the original topic.
Chen Rui was taken aback. Isabella directly admitted that she used the evil voodoo's poison plan. At that time, they were just serving their own masters. However, removing the evil voodoo was indeed a big loophole. With Chen Rui's previous trust in Paglio and Lomont, this seemed to be unexplainable.
The sir financial officer's forehead was sweating. Isabella is indeed powerful. She is not a woman who can be fooled at all. Am I really going to expose everything?
At this moment, a Dark Demon member knocked on the door, walked in, handed Isabella a note, and then retreated. Isabella looked at the note, waved her hand, and the note flew lightly toward Chen Rui, "It seems that your little princess Royal Highness seems to have encountered a little trouble. You should solve it yourself. That's all for our conversation today."
Chen Rui took the note and glanced at it, then he left as if he was granted amnesty.
After flying away from Ms. Inni's sight, Chen Rui felt that his back was drenched. He was not sure how many secrets Isabella guessed, but what was certain was that she had guessed a lot, especially the suspicion of "Charles".
As the saying goes, the onlookers see clearly. Chen Rui looked back and thought about what he had done. It was indeed as Isabella said, he had some relatively fixed styles. This was also a habit. Basically, everyone was like this. Fortunately, only Isabella knew the secret. Otherwise, many things might go wrong.
Isabella disliked Charles at the beginning, feigned civility, and finally sacrificed herself to die for him. It would be a lie to say that he didn't understand some emotions. Especially at the last moment, the sentence "I would rather have met you back then" was enough to explain a lot.
However, Isabella was on the verge of death at that time. Perhaps it was just an instinctive reaction of seeking someone to rely on when she was close to the fear of death. He was not sure what kind of mood Isabella had after the "resurrection".
Now dealing with the 3 wives of the chivalrous woman, the little maid, and the female scientist, as well as the Princess Royal Highness, it was enough to make him anxious. It was not so easy to enjoy the happiness of having multiple wives. Moreover, there was an empress in a distant country who was determined to marry him …
Although the ideal of the otaku was to build a huge harem, there was often a big gap between the reality and the ideal. The more the better was definitely not suitable for the current harem construction. As long as he could consolidate the existing scale and steadily add the first beauty in the future, he would be satisfied. He really didn't want to write any delusional journey of hunting for beauties anymore.
As for the man's aunt, Ms. Inni, the Devil's Snare Flower … Ai, I'll stay away from her for the time being.
At this time, in front of the window upstairs in the assassination department, Ms. Inni clenched the dagger in her hand as she watched the human hurriedly leave. She gritted her teeth and said, "Liar!"
