Chapter 1747: Sin and Madam Nancy, Beaten Throughout

That afternoon, Zuer City returned to stability. The Eye Chambers in the city had all been dealt with. Even so, the Security Forces and the Execution Agency remained on alert.

Parliament Palace, fourth floor, in a study.

"Basically, that's it. Sin's goal was only to rescue Fadir."

Su Xiao was sitting opposite Harold. After hearing his account, Harold behind the desk was speechless for a long time.

"Just like that?"

Harold rubbed his forehead lightly. He had even sent out the Imperial Asylum to prevent other Ghoul forces from taking advantage of the situation after massive civilian deaths in Zuer City. However, this felt like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. Sin's operation had indeed impressed Su Xiao and Harold. Bubu Wang still laughed out loud occasionally even now.

"That's just it. The losses in the city are far less than imagined."

"..."

"..."

Su Xiao and Harold sat opposite each other in silence. Through Harold, Su Xiao already knew that someone had informed them of the locations of two Eye Chambers by way of selling them. However, Su Xiao still couldn't figure out one thing: where did the last four Eye Chambers go?

According to the Eye Chamber intelligence Su Xiao learned in the second ring of the mission, four Eye Chambers were the minimum standard for forming a summoning array. Multiple signs indicated that Sin and Mr. J were cooperating; otherwise, Mr. J wouldn't have been able to create that pillar of light that looked so much like an activated Eye Chamber.

Sin had already achieved his goal. As for Mr. J, Su Xiao found it hard not to associate the other party with the other four Eye Chambers.

"Try your best to track Fadir's whereabouts. After all, he is..."

Before Harold finished speaking, the door was pushed open. A red-haired man hurried to Harold's side, leaned over, and whispered something to him. A moment later, Harold signaled for the red-haired man to withdraw first.

"Four Eye Chambers were transferred to Badansha Town and activated. Less than ten thousand people survived there."

Hearing Harold's words, all the clues Su Xiao knew connected.

First, with the cooperation of Sin, Moon Eclipse, and the Joshua family, they collected the items needed to deploy the Eye Chambers. During this period, they reached a cooperation with Madam Nancy. As for Joshua Eddie, he was a close friend of Sin, and both were mixed-bloods.

Sin saw Madam Nancy's ambition. After several negotiations, he set the deployment location of the Eye Chambers in Zuer City, nominally to help Madam Nancy eliminate Harold and make her queen.

As for the purpose of deploying the Eye Chambers, Sin claimed he wanted to swallow the Immortal King, take his place, and gain powerful strength. In reality, from the beginning, Sin knew the Eye Chambers couldn't be successfully activated—at least not in Zuer City. He knew how difficult Harold was to deal with.

When all the Eye Chambers were transferred to Zuer City, the plan was announced to begin. It was after this that Sin witnessed how terrifying the Execution Agency was.

After the plan began, Madam Nancy knew the Execution Agency was the biggest obstacle to success. She herself was the Execution Agency's Commander, so she intended to frame the Deputy Commander. In this way, she could control the Execution Agency in a short time. Even if a trusted Deputy Commander were brought in, they would be sidelined by her.

Unfortunately, at this time, Su Xiao entered the Ghoul world and became the Deputy Commander. Madam Nancy's plan failed. That night, she sent people to assassinate Su Xiao through secret channels. The result was obvious: the assassin was killed on the spot and, before dying, revealed the existence of the Ghost Ring organization.

On the second day of the plan, the Ghost Ring's stronghold, Wild Boar Manor, was wiped out by Su Xiao. Sin was seriously injured. Therefore, Madam Nancy chose to actively approach Su Xiao to reach a "cooperation."

Just as the cooperation began, Su Xiao shot Joshua Eddie down with one bullet. The Ghost Ring's funding chain broke. At that time, Sin was so angry he wanted to kill someone, once thinking Madam Nancy was a mole.

Just as Joshua Eddie died, the Ghost Ring's headquarters exploded, and the Ghost Ring's number two figure, Moon Eclipse, was killed in the explosion. At that time, both Sin and Madam Nancy were stunned. After meeting secretly, they even considered temporarily abandoning the Eye Chamber plan. They had been beaten too hard, but after thinking it over, they chose to act like a cornered dog, cooperating with Madam Nancy to assassinate the councilor.

Fortunately, at this time, Mr. J appeared, helping Sin and Madam Nancy overcome the difficulty and successfully assassinate the councilor. But even so, the Eye Chambers in Zuer City were dug out one by one. Sin and Madam Nancy's expressions at the time were more than just a "WTF" could describe. Their common thought was: Zuer City is so big, how did the other party find the Eye Chambers? And after some Eye Chambers moved, Sin didn't even know the locations of those Eye Chambers for a short time.

The misfortune hadn't stopped. Sin, hiding in Harold's ancestral grave, was inexplicably dug out, encountered three hammer-wielding men, and after taking a few hits, Sin repelled the three and successfully escaped.

Just as Sin was beaten, Madam Nancy was exposed, and she was fooled by the Su Xiao + Harold combination to the point of doubting life. Before dying, Madam Nancy even suspected that if Harold hadn't been hiding behind the mirror, she might have been played by Su Xiao for two hours, which would have been even more suffocating. The other party said she wouldn't live past 60, and it was very accurate; she died that night.

Just as Sin was disheartened and prepared to give up, he was surprised to find that the two terrifying enemies didn't seem to have noticed his ultimate goal. The other party seemed to think he had some grand plan, which made Sin both happy and secretly ashamed. Finally, with Mr. J's funding, Sin attempted to infiltrate the Execution Agency headquarters.

Before using the spatial scroll to leave the Execution Agency's basement, Sin was still terrified. The successive painful experiences earlier almost made him develop persecution paranoia. He had been beaten too miserably; whoever cooperated with him would lose their whole family.

As for Mr. J, he only did three things from beginning to end, and the number of times he appeared was very few.

One, fought with Gess and used some kind of prop to steal part of Gess's memory. Precisely because of this, Sin knew how to enter the Execution Agency's basement. And fortunately, Mr. J had this legendary-grade prop; otherwise, Sin wouldn't have been able to complete the follow-up plan. It could be said that without Mr. J, Sin's plan would have already failed, and he might even have died in Zuer City.

Two, helped Sin infiltrate the Execution Agency headquarters.

Three, took away four Eye Chambers and got them to Badansha Town to activate.

Su Xiao didn't know if his deduction was completely correct, but it should be very close to the truth. Although Sin's plan succeeded, Su Xiao gained a lot. Or rather, if Sin had been completely trampled into the mud halfway, Su Xiao wouldn't have had his current gains.

"I'll handle the matter in Badansha Town."

Su Xiao still needed to continue mobilizing the Execution Agency. He wouldn't ignore a bloody fact: when the birds are gone, the good bow is put away. Sin had already fled in a sorry state. If there was nothing major, Harold would take back part of the power. As for the position of Commander, even if Su Xiao voluntarily resigned, Harold wouldn't agree.

The Empire's Golden Triangle had been formed. After the Eye Chamber incident, the only two people Harold trusted most were Su Xiao and Gask (Minister of the 7th Unit).

"Hmm, I'm more at ease with you handling this matter. By the way, the positions vacated by Jones and Leopold are also a problem. Gask has agreed; he will replace Jones. As for Leopold..."

Harold picked up a bottle of red wine from the bookshelf and leaned over to pour Su Xiao a glass. The Eye Chamber incident had been mostly resolved; it was time to reward based on merit.

"I'll be a councilor?"

Su Xiao smiled and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Harold was silent for a moment, then laughed dumbly.

"Harold, I am an Awakened, an Awakened who won't live long. Sooner or later, I will demonize, and then I will need to be dealt with. That day shouldn't be too far off."

Su Xiao wouldn't serve as a councilor; that would waste too much time.

"Almost forgot about this, but..."

"Leaving first. The matter in Badansha Town needs to be handled as soon as possible. After all, over a hundred thousand people died. Blood debts must be paid in blood."

"..."

Harold didn't speak, just picked up the wine glass on the table. After Su Xiao pushed the door and left the study, only Harold remained, holding the wine glass.

"With two more commanders like you, I, Harold, could kill every last Ghoul. Sigh~"

Harold drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. After a moment of sadness, his eyes narrowed because he was considering one thing: Su Xiao's power, he had witnessed it with his own eyes. If Su Xiao demonized, what kind of powerful demon would appear?

The old schemer Harold still considered everything comprehensively. However, he was worrying blindly; Su Xiao wasn't an Awakened at all. ===== CHAPTER 1748 =====
