Looking at Ann-Rue's corpse, Garen raised his hand and beckoned. With a swoosh, an invisible mouth swallowed the corpse whole.
"This is the best way to get rid of the evidence." He turned and left the secret room, satisfied.
Next, it was time to consider the Obscuro's reaction.
Killing an Elemental General level spy was obviously a huge blow to the Obscuro's plan. But they probably didn't know who killed her, and if Jayce and Ann-Rue's crystal balls broke on the same day, they might think that the two generals were killed at the same time.
There was no way to know the other party's reaction, but Garon wasn't worried about their revenge. When the Kingdom was still the territory of the Royal Alliance, the Obscuro didn't dare to act rashly.
Not to mention the Secret Service's strong team in charge of the Kingdom's security, this was just in the dark, there was still the National Service. The National Service's strongest division of the Silver Knights was also stationed in the Kovitan Kingdom. This powerful and mysterious team didn't have many people, but every member was an absolute top fighter. Together with the Secret Service, one in the light and one in the dark, they were in charge of the entire Kingdom's high-end defense.
The last one was the Geometry Service, which Garon wasn't familiar with, but it was an even more mysterious department. What kind of technology they had, how much power they had, nothing was clear.
The Three Departments had their own duties, like three countries within three countries, each occupying a piece of territory. They represented the power of the aristocrats from each country. They were the foundation of the Royal Alliance.
But even he could kill Princess Ann-Rue in a short time, it was better to be careful.
"In the Kingdom now, the Three Departments, the Obscuro, and the Royal Alliance are all mixed together, the situation is a little complicated. I'm in the Secret Service now, so the Obscuro wouldn't dare to make a move too openly. Plus, they don't know my identity, so there shouldn't be a problem. I should go out on a mission to max out my attribute points, and reach the level of the Nine-Headed Hydra. "
He settled his heart, with his hidden power.
Not to mention the Eight-Headed Hydra on the surface, which was a form four totem with special abilities, there was also his hidden body, which was an even stronger existence. He didn't have to worry as much as before.
But the two heirlooms that Ann-Rue mentioned, one was the Absolute Protection, which was on the king's finger, an Endor heirlooms. As for the other imitation artifact, its power was definitely much weaker, but it should still be quite good. After all, an Ultimate Artifact was a Tier 2 item, and for so many people to copy it wholeheartedly, its power would naturally not be lacking.
He was indeed tempted. But when he thought about the complicated situation in the capital, it was best not to get involved before the situation became clear.
"Forget it, I'll just hang around in the Secret Service for a while. I won't get involved in the assassination. I'll just focus on killing my potential points." Garon made his decision and stopped thinking about it.
Following that, he quickly made a trip to the villa that An Lu had mentioned, and rescued Lala who was imprisoned there.
He did not explain much to her, and Lala appeared to be very calm. This girl seemed to have become calmer and calmer after following Garon throughout the journey.
Quietly returning to the manor, Garon returned to his previous routine. He was waiting for the mission to arrive.

In the depths of the Royal City's Palace, in a certain gorgeous white bedroom.
The First Consort was a cold woman with a slender figure and golden curly hair. She was currently wearing a tight white dress that accentuated her perfect waist. She was standing in front of a huge dressing mirror.
Behind her were two maids who were arranging her cylindrical golden curls. These curls were layered on top of each other and were woven into a gorgeous golden jewelry-like cylinder.
Large amounts of golden hair were woven into curls, bouncing up and down as Consort Delouse's body swayed.
"Your Excellency, Master Hong Ju's Derivator was destroyed." One of the maids' lips moved slightly, but her voice was sent directly into the First Consort's ears. She lowered her head and combed her golden hair, as if she was completely focused on her task.
Delouse squinted her eyes.
"What happened? Where's Dida? Wasn't he guarding Hong Ju? "
"Dida is dead. Everyone around Hong Ju was attacked at White Bird Tower around ten in the morning. Hong Ju's whereabouts are unknown, and the rest were all sacrificed." The maid picked up the black crown and put it on the First Consort's head.
Delouse muttered to herself. "Hong Ju's Derivator was destroyed. I just received news that Jess' Derivator was also destroyed. It couldn't be such a coincidence. Inform Mahakala and find out what exactly is going on. "
"Alright."
"In the future, don't spread the news of the military to me. Send it directly to the Divine Cloud military. Be careful not to get caught by that old Veska. "
"Understood. The Minister of Defense went to inspect the defensive line today. "The maid blinked and smiled.

Tens of thousands of kilometers away from the capital, in a pitch-black underground cave.
The walls of the cave were covered with a faint silver light, which provided a bit of light in the darkness.
All of a sudden, the silver liquid on the cave wall squirmed and dripped down like a viscous liquid. With a few patters, several lumps fell down.
The silver liquid slowly twisted and quickly formed a complete human figure, a clear human figure that seemed to be made of mercury.
It didn't have any facial features, and its face was flat. However, its figure was condensed, and it looked like a silver sculpture.
It was a female humanoid with a large chest and long shoulder-length hair. She slowly walked to the center of the cave.
"Your Excellency God Cloud, news came from Delouse. The crystal Derivators of two Elemental Generals were destroyed at the same time. We need Mahakala's people to investigate what happened."
She was the only one in the cave, and there was no one else. However, a voice came from the top of the cave.
The silver cave wall squirmed and a huge silver face appeared. It was a clear male face, but there were two black holes where the eyes should be.
"I already know about this. Mahakala's people have already come to a conclusion. Kovitan's side has been temporarily handed over to Delouse from the elite division. Those two people are already dead. Someone actually dared to attack my people in public. Anya, who are the Generals in the capital recently? "
"There's Schindler who is in charge of Kevita District, and Ariel who is currently fighting with the National Organization's Silver Knights. Together with Delouse, this is all of Kovitan's current strength. "The silver woman replied respectfully. "In order to encircle and annihilate the Geometry Service's Blood Tower, our losses this time are too severe. Three Generals have died."
"However, the situation in Ender has also completely stabilized. Hmph! That bastard Blood Tower, if it wasn't for the fact that I was at a critical moment and couldn't split myself … The situation this time is very complicated. Ann-Rue has no ability to resist at all. Jess has long disappeared in Iron Tank City, and her Derivator has always been used by an outsider. Now on Mahakala's side, our God Cloud Army has completely become a laughingstock! Our Generals' Derivator has been used by an outsider for so long and we don't even know. "
The silver face's voice became more and more gloomy.
"However, to be able to kill Ann-Rue without any injuries, he must be at least spiritualized, with the strength of a Form 4. Send Demetrius over, and lead Schindler and Ariel. Don't return that thing for now, just go and kill that bastard who pretended to be Jess. I will allow her to mobilize all the forces outside the plan. Also, Mahakala will send you some information and characteristics of the murderer. "
"I will pass on your message immediately." The silver woman bowed slightly, and with a splash, melted into a pool of silver liquid.
*****
A few days later, Kovitan's capital.
At the back of the capital, close to the tallest building, the big clock tower, was a grayish-black rock cliff.
The cliff was covered with a dense green forest. From afar, it looked like a large patch of moss covering the top of the cliff.
In the middle of the dense forest, beside a clear small lake, stood a few figures in black.
Among them were old people, children, two young girls, and two young men. There were a total of six people.
The golden noon sun shone down from above the forest, reflecting the true golden water light on the surface of the lake, which was slightly dazzling.
These six people wore the same uniform black skirted armor, with hoods. Their faces couldn't be seen clearly, and only different figures and a little bit of skin could be seen.
"Have you brought everything?" The old man asked softly. "The place we are going to this time, is a path that the Black Prince must pass through. At the same time, other than this mission, we have a new mission that we need to solve along the way. Nine Heads, you tell us. "
A well-proportioned young man nodded. It was Garon with a gentle smile on his face. His long blonde hair peeked out from under the hood, and his face was completely hidden under the shadow of the hood. Like the others, everyone's face seemed to be slightly distorted, as if it was a special effect of the armor.
Garon cleared his throat.
"Yesterday, there was a new message from above, from the Deputy Director.
In the vicinity of our mission area, a superior aristocrat sent out a distress signal, hoping that we can go and rescue him, as long as we clear the monster hordes around him. "
"Another superior aristocrat, so troublesome." The two girls pouted uninterestedly. "Every time we go out on a mission, we get rescued along the way, they really think we are free labor!"
"Since it's on the way, we can go straight to our destination and come back directly, there's no need to waste any time. There's only two of them. "
Garon smiled.
"I don't mind." Red Umbrella crossed his arms in front of his chest, yawning.
"I'm the same as Brother Red Umbrella." Kid always followed Red Umbrella.
As for Fox, she usually didn't speak.
"Then it's decided." The old man took out the map and opened it. His finger pointed at a newly marked red dot. "Remember this, when we go over, we'll clear the monster hordes there. Leave this to Kid. Does anyone have any objections? "
"It doesn't matter, Kid needs the mission points anyway, it's fine to give it to him." It was rare for Kitten to have a good tone.
The others didn't have any objections.
"Thank you, brothers and sisters." Kid thanked them with a smile.
Garon looked at Kid curiously. This kid who was half his height, estimated to be thirteen or fourteen years old, was actually so popular in the team.
