Chapter 1738: Snake Tail

At night, Execution Agency headquarters, inside the Legion Commander's office.

"What progress do you have on your side?"

Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the sofa. There were only him and Madam Nancy in the office. Of course, this was in Madam Nancy's cognition. At this time, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was also there.

"No progress. His Majesty limited me to find the thief who destroyed the mausoleum within five days, otherwise I will go to serve as a clerk."

Madam Nancy took off the black gloves on her hands and threw them aside, looking somewhat depressed.

"If you need, you can mobilize some Awakened ones from my side."

Su Xiao put away the Checking Zhan Long Shan he had maintained. It seemed like he spoke unintentionally.

"Really? I want Reinhardt to assist me temporarily."

"Do you think that's possible?"

"Hank is also fine."

Madam Nancy settled for the second best. She had witnessed the abilities of the Eyeless Squad these past few days. Searching for Eye Chambers in a large city of over six million people like Zuer City was like looking for a needle in a haystack in her view, but the Eyeless Squad had done it.

"At most, I can mobilize one hundred and fifty Awakened ones for you."

"Oh? What is your purpose in actively helping me?"

Madam Nancy became vigilant. The painful experience of these past few days told her that she didn't understand Kuku Lin Bai Ye at all before. After the Phantom incident broke out, she truly witnessed the ability of this Deputy Legion Commander—no, now he was the Legion Commander, and she had become the deputy instead.

"The cemetery matter is very likely related to the Ghost Ring. If all of them are dug out, I can't stay out of it. Negligence is inevitable. Harold asked you to handle this matter, which means this. Within five days, find the thief who destroyed the mausoleum, and the previous matters will be written off. What he wants is the result, not the cause and process."

Su Xiao leaned his head back on the sofa and let out a long breath. The special medicine provided by Harold was very good, allowing his injuries to recover by 70%.

"Harold, you really dare to call him that. I wouldn't dare to call His Majesty by his name."

Madam Nancy looked at Su Xiao with seductive eyes. Compared to charm, this poisonous snake wanted to know another thing more.

"What's there to dare? If I die, the one who will have the biggest headache is Harold. Conversely, if he dies, I will have to purge all threats in Zuer City to lay the foundation for the next king to take the throne."

"Stop, stop, stop. Do you want to kill me? I wouldn't dare to call His Majesty by his name like that. I'm leaving first. I don't want scandals to spread tomorrow. I'll die—I mean I will die."

Madam Nancy stood up to leave. Su Xiao placed Checking Zhan Long Shan flat on his legs.

"Nancy, thank you for the insane asylum matter."

"……"

Madam Nancy, with her back to Su Xiao, paused. She grabbed her right hand because her hand was shaking. A burst of blood energy touched Nancy's back.

"Such a good opportunity, there won't be a second time. Don't you consider killing me right here? Just like you killed Jones and Leopold. Don't quibble with me. As long as I have determined this matter, you can't walk out of here alive. That set of politicians is useless to me. Dead people don't defend themselves, just like Joshua Eddie."

A smile gradually appeared on Su Xiao's face. Madam Nancy turned around slowly. She was shaking, shaking all over. This beautiful woman was so uncomposed for the first time.

"Does Harold... know about this?"

Madam Nancy breathed slowly, gradually overcoming that kind of fear. She was shaking just now, not because of inner fear, but physiological fear—fear of the blood energy all over Su Xiao. As for not admitting it, she wasn't stupid enough to that extent. How Joshua Eddie died was still vivid in her mind. The one in front of her might blow her head off if they didn't agree. She dared not deny it; the outcome would be being carried out—being carried out full of blood. This was something Madam Nancy absolutely couldn't accept.

"Of course... he doesn't know."

"?"

Madam Nancy was stunned, her eyes flickering.

"Impossible, you..." Madam Nancy was only stunned for a moment before guessing the hidden situation. She spoke: "It seems you aren't loyal to Harold either."

"Of course. Jones was loyal to him, and now his corpse is still refrigerated in the backyard of the Council Palace. The most ruthless is the royal family. I think you should understand this principle."

"……"

Madam Nancy didn't speak, just sat on the sofa opposite Su Xiao. She began to unbutton the buttons behind her back, and soon took off her long dress halfway.

"Let me leave Zuer City two hours later. Within these two hours, you can do whatever you want to me."

Madam Nancy revealed her poisonous snake nature again. She wanted to survive as much as possible now.

"Are you dreaming?"

"Then what do you want? Hand me over to Harold to claim credit?"

Madam Nancy was about to unbutton her bra while speaking.

"Continue to investigate the cemetery matter. If there is any news, notify me immediately."

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Madam Nancy's hand paused. She looked at Su Xiao in disbelief because this was a handle.

In fact, Su Xiao was deliberately giving Madam Nancy some sweetness. He really wanted to know one thing: why this poisonous snake would betray the Empire.

Su Xiao found that Madam Nancy was wrong, not by coincidence. When he first entered this world, he let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang monitor Madam Nancy. Indeed, he didn't find anything before, but out of caution, Su Xiao let Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang install micro-bugs in Nancy's home and on all her clothes.

And this afternoon, when Su Xiao was thinking about Ghost Ring-related matters, he quickly reviewed the recordings and audio of several suspicious targets in the past few days, and finally, he obtained a very important piece of audio.

Su Xiao couldn't figure out one thing before: the two councilors died too simply. That kind of assassination clearly showed a deep understanding of the two councilors.

"You are such a smart person, what did the Phantoms use to bribe you? Or did they grab your handle?"

"Neither."

Madam Nancy leaned limply on the sofa, then giggled, seemingly mocking herself.

"Because, I'm getting old. Unknowingly, I'm already 37 years old, and my beauty is gradually fading. Perhaps it was seeing my mother having an affair with a man in my childhood that made me have a serious rejection of men. But I care very much about my beauty. I can die, but I can't become an old woman. Power is just an accessory for me to enjoy life. It once kept me beautiful, but unfortunately, after 35, it couldn't do it anymore. Coincidentally, those Phantoms have a way, so I tried it. This is very reasonable. Everyone has pursuits, just like your desire for strength, Kuku Lin."

Madam Nancy held her face with both hands. Her long nails made her look both beautiful and morbid.

"……"

Su Xiao was very surprised. That's right, it was surprised. There weren't many things that could make him show this expression. He racked his brains and didn't expect that the big fish had been by his side all along. He wasn't coaxing Madam Nancy. He could concoct recovery potions. The beauty Madam Nancy wanted to maintain was nothing more than making herself look young.

Diluted concentration lower than 0.071% Hashirama cells + materials containing vitality + mild solution, roughly concocted, could create what Madam Nancy craved. ===== CHAPTER 1739 =====

Before Mrs. Nancy could finish her words, Su Xiao leaned his body forward.

"I can make you so beautiful that even you won't believe it. In exchange, help me ferret out those people who assassinated the councilors."

Su Xiao looked at Mrs. Nancy with burning eyes. He hadn't expected the big fish to be right by his side all along. He wasn't deceiving Mrs. Nancy; he could concoct recovery potions, and the appearance Mrs. Nancy wanted to maintain was nothing more than looking young.

Diluted Hashirama cells with a concentration lower than 0.071% + materials containing vitality + a mild solution—with a rough concoction, he could create what Mrs. Nancy craved.
