The Archangel of Death - Chapter 316

316: Captured 316: Captured Chapter 316 “Good evening, Your Majesty,” An old man, along with many others greeted the newly crowned king who was welcomed with open arms by the council and the people.

“I still don’t feel comfortable with that title, elder Hama,” Hua Luo replied, “For now, shall we focus on the issue at hand?” The suggestion was accepted by everyone to which Hua Luo nodded and said, “All said and done, an imperial member has been assassinated by a person of Jianghu.

The most likely suspect is the Just faction’s Namgoong family, but it could be just a ploy to start a war.

We need to approach this calmly.” “Well said, your majesty, well said,” Another elder approved of the decision and he wasn’t the only one to do so.

Everyone in the court appreciated the calm approach that didn’t bring up the possibility of a straight-out war.

“On that account, send an envoy to the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Ask them to act as mediators to our upcoming meeting with the just faction.” Hua Luo issued a command which was once again appreciated and well-received by all the elders and officials.

With this approach, no rift would be created while they remain dominant in the situation.

“Is there anything else?” Hua Luo asked.

“I don’t know if this is important or not, but many of our servants have run away.

They ran away at once which suggests something deeper.

We’re still investigating it.

So far, nothing has been stolen.” Elder Hama replied.

“Hmm, is that so?” Hua Luo mused before he added, “For now, proceed under the possibility that they have stolen something from the palace.

But also consider the possibility of them being spies.

The timing of their disappearance aligns with my brother’s death so it might not just be a coincidence.” “Very well, Your Majesty,” Elder Hama replied before they all left to carry out their own tasks.

The wheel of motion was set in quickly and soon enough, everything was set.

While this was happening, another organization, somewhere deep inside the mountains, gathered to discuss their own plans.

“What do you mean by ‘The assassination failed’?” A man draped in darkness asked.

Another man, shrouded in darkness, replied, “It is as it sounds.

The assassination attempt of the imperial prince failed.

Someone else got to him before we could.” “But he’s still dead, correct?” A feminine voice asked.

“He is.

But contrary to what we expected, the imperial palace remained silent.

The worst news is that we don’t know what is happening inside the imperial palace because all of our spies have disappeared overnight.” The first figure replied.

“Is it possible there’s been an infiltration?” The woman asked before she added, “Or…” No one needed that ‘Or’ elaborated.

Everyone knew what it meant and the implications were serious.

The only problem was that there was no evidence of it and discussing it like so could create a massive rift among everyone.

“We don’t need to go that far,” An elderly voice flowed into everyone’s ears.

They all turned to look at the old man sitting at the same table as them.

While they were all equal in position, that wasn’t quite the case.

The old man was definitely the assumed leader of this group, whether they admitted it or not.

“Then how do you suggest we deal with this problem, Elder?” The woman respectfully asked.

The old man nodded and said, “Our objective, although not achieved by us, is complete.

We don’t need that anymore.

What we do need to do is to make sure the rift created between the just faction and the imperial family does not close up.” “And how will we do that?” The first figure asked, “Do we need to make another assas–” The old man, on the other hand, interrupted him mid-speech and said, “No, we do not need to kill another prominent figure.

We just need to make sure the meeting the imperial family is hoping to end in peace doesn’t.” “What do you think they will do?” Another man asked.

“They will most likely try to use the peaceful approach and clear the matter between them.

For that, they will need a mediator which would be most likely the demonic faction because they cannot allow the evil faction to judge the just faction.

Too many complications.” The old man explained his reason.

“So what we need to do is…” The first man spoke.

“Exactly,” The old man replied and another wheel was set in motion.

~~ The sky is so blue.

The clouds are so white.

And the view is just breathtaking.

“Why are you looking at the sky?” A woman asked me.

I replied, “So I don’t have to look at you.” “Why not?” The woman asked.

“I might jump you.” I replied which the woman didn’t understand because of how modern the term was, prompting her to ask, “What?” “SO I CAN’T LOOK AT YOUR ENORMOUS CHEST, which by the way is amazing, AMAZING I SAY!!” I yelled my response and returned my attention back to the sky, heroically saying, “I have my woman waiting for me at home and I shall not betray her.

I SHALL NOT BETRAY HER YOU SUPER BUSTY WOMAN!!!” “What is this maniac saying?” Another feminine voice asked.

I turned to look at her and said, “This maniac is professing his love for his wife.

He will not be tempted by you.

I SHALL NOT BE TEMPT—UGH!!!” Quick note.

Getting slapped across the face by a super beautiful and busty woman wasn’t as kinky as I hoped.

“You think you will be returning anywhere?

You wouldn’t even be leaving this place.” The feminine voice.

“What do you plan to do to me, you monsters?

Just know this, my body may be conquered, but my heart will never be yours.

NEVER BE YOUR—UGH!!!” Another slap mid-speech.

How rude can one be?

[I like seeing you like this] ‘Only you would be.’ Like what you say?

[Let me] [Like upside down] ‘Not as dramatic as I was gonna make it sound.’ So, the story went like this.

I was returning from finishing my super duper important mission when I saw a big as* fish in a lake.

Now I knew I had tons of food in my inventory but something about that fish was prompting me to fish it, skin it, grill it, and eat it.

So I tried to catch it.

Which, unfortunately, didn’t work well.

I was so close to catching it when it slipped me.

[Your aim was ten inches to the left] Anyhoo… The important point to pick up was that the fish evaded me.

ME!

The fish meister.

[Twenty bucks no one ever called you that] ‘No one even once.

I hate this world.’ So that turned into a revenge match.

I chased the fish but just before I could catch it, it slipped into one of the underground canals.

Still, I had supernatural senses.

I could follow it from above the ground and followed it directly to a big, well-hidden, very well hidden, pond.

“Kyaahhh!!!” Now usually, I would receive the shouts of ecstasy when some bathing women would spot me but this time, these women screamed at me.

I blame Adrian’s body.

Anyway, I told them politely that I wasn’t interested in their bodies and they had nothing to fear from me and also I was just going to turn around and leave.

[You explained for three minutes about which position would suit which of the girls best] ‘I’m telling you, I worked really hard on that.’ And since I worked very hard on that, it was quite harsh of them to attack me.

Which I, like a member of the true gender equality, returned in kind.

[You tried to grope them] Same, same but different.

It’s all about one’s perspective.

[No you definitely tried to grope them] So like in every novel, where the story just escalates, this one escalated very quickly as well.

The girls screamed and rained attacks of Qi on me which attracted the attention of their master.

She came running and when she spotted me fighting back against the unfair attack on me, she joined them too.

How can a teacher not guide her students but instead join them?

Sloppy teaching, I tell you.

Oh, yeah.

She attacked me as well.

So I attacked back.

[You groped her too] Tomato, tamato.

And just like that, another person joined in this time.

She was also a beauty and no, I could not attack her this time because I was a gentleman.

[She was a level 581] That too.

Had I fought back, the waves would have been too noticeable, and since I didn’t want to risk that, I, being ever reasonable, surrendered.

[You just wanted to be cuffed by a hottie] That too.

And so, that was how I ended up in this situation.

But there was no fear in my eyes.

I was sure these women wouldn’t do anything to me.

[But you hope they would] ‘God, I so hope they would.’ While I was flashbacking, the woman who captured me, grabbed me by my hair, perched my head up, and asked in a very cold, but soothing tone, “Who are you, you waste of skin?” Haa… Her voice was soft like rose petals.

[And her gaze full of thorns] ‘That’s the beauty of it.’ CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Bad_Wolf_7811 Creation is hard, cheer me up!
