Chapter 1739: Tempting Power

Three hours later, Madam Nancy stood before a full-length mirror. Her fingertips lightly touched the corners of her eyes, where the wrinkles had disappeared.

"Don't be narcissistic. The effect of the potion will take effect slowly. If you suddenly become a teenager, Harold will slaughter you tomorrow. In about a month, you will be very young. As a price, you won't live past 60, but even before you die, you won't age."

"Can I... be young until I'm 60?"

Madam Nancy turned to look at Su Xiao. That gaze made Su Xiao think of the Distortion he had fought earlier. Perhaps even if Distortion saw Nancy's current gaze, it would subconsciously step back, although Nancy's combat power was weak.

"Tell me, when did you start cooperating with the Ghost Ring?"

"A year ago."

"Oh? Then your assassination, was it a bitter trick between you and Sin?"

"No, that was done by a pack of mad dogs. Those mad dogs have already been dealt with by Sin and his men. Don't worry about them. My plan with Sin is roughly like this..."

Madam Nancy lit a lady's cigarette and raised her eyebrows at Su Xiao.

"The establishment of the Ghost Ring can be traced back to more than ten years ago. At first, it was just a small organization. Until a few years ago, the appearance of Sin and Eclipse, plus another old Phantom, it has already been blown up by you."

Madam Nancy's disguise ability was absolutely explosive. If there weren't those bugs, Su Xiao wouldn't be able to dig her out. Facts proved that being cautious still had benefits.

"Speaking of which, I can be considered a big shot among them. Joshua Eddie provided financial resources to the Ghost Ring, and I was responsible for helping them open up channels. Otherwise, do you think that just relying on Sin and Eclipse, they could bring so many Phantoms into Zuer City?"

Flicking the ash, Madam Nancy continued:

"Before the whole thing started, Sin and Eclipse had already prepared the Eye Chamber and the 'Core'. The so-called core is a metal pillar, full of eyeballs, which looks very disgusting.

The range of the Eye Chamber can affect one-fifth of Zuer City. Originally, Sin and Eclipse didn't want to arrange the Eye Chamber in Zuer City, but they were rejected by me, and I told them how terrifying Harold was. Sin was persuaded by me and decided to use the Eye Chamber to eliminate Harold. This is also my opportunity. You should... understand what I mean."

Through Madam Nancy's description, Su Xiao understood the Ghost Ring's plan: summon the Immortal King through the Eye Chamber, and then swallow it.

This made Su Xiao couldn't help but think, could it be that Sin knew about the existence of the Void? He wanted to turn himself into an energy body? So as to enter the Void?

It wasn't that this possibility didn't exist, but for some reason, Su Xiao always felt this was a bit ridiculous. He had fought Sin, and with the other party's IQ, he shouldn't place his hope on a summoning that didn't know whether it could succeed.

As for Madam Nancy, she seemed to be paranoid about her own beauty, but in reality, it wasn't that simple. This woman was clearly trying to become a queen!

With Madam Nancy's status and position, she could never become a queen through normal means, so she cooperated with the Ghost Ring, which wasn't too dangerous, because she knew that the Ghost Ring didn't want to subvert the Empire's power system, and the Ghost Ring couldn't do it either. Sometimes, people were more terrifying than Phantoms.

Joshua family, Ghost Ring, Eye Chamber, Immortal King, etc. —all intelligence was connected. Su Xiao finally knew why the previous Deputy Legion Commander had committed job-related crimes; clearly, he was framed by Madam Nancy, just done perfectly. Su Xiao hadn't found any flaws before.

"Where is Sin?"

Su Xiao spoke.

"Temporarily unknown, but I know where those Eye Chambers are. Of course, the locations of some Eye Chambers have changed."

"Speak, otherwise I'll peel your skin off now."

"The first Eye Chamber is at..."

Madam Nancy began to narrate the locations of the Eye Chambers. She was willing to reveal these entirely out of helplessness. If she couldn't persuade Su Xiao, she would die here tonight.

"How about it? Interested in this matter? Actually, I regret it a bit, but there was no turning back from the beginning. Quitting would mean becoming a corpse in the sewer. I've already been exposed and lost the qualification to sit in that position. I'll leave it to you, but I want Jones's position."

Madam Nancy reached out her hand, clearly preparing to pull Su Xiao into the group. This was also out of helplessness.

"He should have no interest."

A slightly dull voice came from behind the full-length mirror. With a snap, the mirror was shattered, and Harold bent over and walked out from behind the mirror, sitting on the sofa beside Su Xiao.

"Kuku Lin, I stood behind that for three hours."

Harold rubbed his sore legs, not caring at all about Madam Nancy, who was full of dullness.

"Acting is also tiring."

Su Xiao yawned. His injuries hadn't healed, and staying up late was a bit tiring.

"You..."

Madam Nancy spoke in a low voice, then sat limply beside the desk and laughed. She was laughing at Sin because she felt Sin couldn't beat these two "evil ghosts".

"Your Majesty, basically that's it."

"Don't call me Your Majesty. Harold

"Stop calling me Your Majesty. Harold sounds more pleasant. Nancy, do you want to sit in my seat?"

Harold looked at Mrs. Nancy with great interest.

"If you want to sit, just tell me. Why go through such a big circle? You, you always like to play little tricks. Don't sit on the floor. You have done many things for the Empire; I won't kill you."

"Heh."

Mrs. Nancy sneered, expressing her disdain for Harold.

"I indeed didn't intend to kill you. Go to Wind Sea City and spend the rest of your life there."

"Impossible, how could you let me go? I know you too well, Harold."

Mrs. Nancy looked at Harold in confusion.

"Of course, there is a prerequisite for this."

"..."

"Tell me, what did Leopold say before he died?"

"He said... he didn't regret following you. At least that's what the Ghost that assassinated Leopold said. I know you won't let me go."

While speaking, Mrs. Nancy lowered her head. She still couldn't figure out where things went wrong or why she was exposed. She was only a few steps away from success. In fact, that was indeed the case.

"Is that so?"

Harold let out a long sigh. Just then, the door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked into the office.

"Can I choose to take poison?"

"No, you guessed right. You must die here."

Harold's expression was slightly ferocious. He hadn't even shown this expression when his wife died. Councilor Jones had followed him for too many years; he had to give the other party an explanation.

"For my father."

The middle-aged man who walked into the room raised the old-fashioned rifle in his hand.

Bang!

Blood splattered. Mrs. Nancy leaned against the desk, a large hole blown into her face.

Su Xiao stood up. He had to deal with the eye chambers. Although he didn't know how many more he could find, it was an extra harvest, and he had to figure out what Sin's true purpose was.
