Cole's mansion.

As usual, the wood and bamboo trimmed the flowers and plants in the garden.

The sun was shining brightly today, but the empty courtyard seemed to be a little too quiet, so quiet that there was not even the sound of birds.

Mu Zhu's expression was very serene, and there seemed to be only the reflection of the pot of red camellia in front of him in his eyes. She carefully trimmed the extra branches of the camellia, tenderly like a mother breastfeeding her baby.

Syllable......

A drop of crystal water drops down on the red camellia-like sound, making the most lively sound in this courtyard.

"What the hell do you want, Mr. Cole!"

Weifeng angrily asked Cole, who had just woken up from his coma. Fortunately, Luthor finally accepted his proposal, otherwise he was afraid that he would have to fight hard for the two Holy Orders today.

"You still shot it? stupid ......"

Cole's voice was weak.

"So, you're lying to me in the first place, and that's what you can't tell me, how you can fool Luther?"

"I didn't lie to you, this is indeed the best way to fool Luther. ”

Cole's tone was calm, so calm that it was impossible to believe that he was talking about his life and death.

Weifeng looked at the pale-faced elder a little wordlessly, not knowing whether to be angry or admiring.

At the beginning, Cole tells Weifeng that he has a way of convincing Luthor that he is dead. The assassination was also planned. Weifeng originally thought that Cole would find a way to find a dead man as a stand-in, but when Cole stepped down from the carriage and came to his side, Weifeng could confirm that this person was Cole himself. Later, when he was making a choice, Weifeng guessed that the scimitar was someone from Cole's side, but the terrifying killing intent exuded from the last oblique slash shattered Weifeng's last illusion.

This bastard originally wanted to trade his life for Luther's trust in him.

"You, have you ever thought about what would happen to Mino, if I didn't make a move today and watched you die at the hands of Luther like this, Mino. ”

"She's going to hate you, hate you for not saving you. Cole still answered the question in a flat tone.

When Weifeng heard this unthinking answer, he was stunned for a moment, and then understood Cole's plan, and said with a wry smile: "But this is exactly the result you want, isn't it?"

"You are the prince of Fasener and Minglan, and you have to deal with the behemoth of the Holy Court. I don't want Mino to be in danger later by standing with you. What's more, there is Her Highness Elsa. ”

"Does Aunt Muzhu know that you do this?"

"Yes. ”

"She agrees with you, too?"

"Yes, we are husband and wife. But she hesitated about Mino, thinking that we shouldn't make a choice for her, but I convinced her. ”

"You two are really admirable. Weifeng sneered.

"Thank you. ”

Weifeng didn't know how to proceed with this conversation, but the plan had to go on.

"What you have on your back is a sword technique called the Demon Sealing Thorn, which can permanently seal the magician's ability to summon elements, and I can't help you unlock it for the time being. However, I have traded it for Luther's trust for a while, and if you can trust me, give me a list of your personnel in the strongholds of the Upstart Faction. ”

Cole frowned, the situation in front of him seemed to be better than he had imagined.

"Yes, but I have to warn you. Albert, who is known as the first person of the younger generation of the Holy See, is almost in Norvi City, and you are running out of time. ”

"Got it. ”

Mitsuki placed Cole in Chrissy's mansion. Chrissy left, leaving a letter before leaving, briefly stating the reason for her departure. There are also some servants in the mansion who have not been evacuated, just enough to take care of Cole.

For Chrissy's departure, Weifeng still understands. After all, there are too many complicated things in front of them, and it is normal for the White Shield Chamber of Commerce to be reluctant to get involved.

About half an hour later, Cole was at Luther's place.

"I don't have time for any more guessing games with you, Mr. Luther. My father summoned me back to have an urgent matter, give me a list of your cronies in the Upstart Sect, and I promise that they will get help from the White Shield Chamber of Commerce. Correspondingly, I'll leave Cole at your disposal, and of course, I'll take Mino. This is the most deserving concession I have, and please show me your sincerity, Mr. Luther. ”

Luther looked at the aggressive teenager across from him with a gloomy face. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't determine his true identity, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to stand his arrogance a long time ago. The situation seemed to be out of his control, and he regretted letting Cole go at the time. originally thought that as long as Cole was abolished, even if he couldn't get the help of the White Shield Chamber of Commerce, he would still have the patron of the Holy See, even if this backer was a hungry wolf with bad intentions. But when he returned to his residence, he found that Chekov and the people of the Holy See who had lived in his house had long since disappeared. Suddenly, Luthor found that his situation had become awkward, and the domineering teenager in front of him seemed to be his only choice.

"You should understand how important that list is to me. How can I believe that you won't go down to my people when you get this list? You won't even give me a hostage. ”

"Hmph, isn't it enough for Cole to be in your hands? The Lu clan is only interested in business. For the upstart school, we are just investing and have no interest in taking over such an emerging school. ”

Weifeng's words obviously alleviated Luther's doubts, but Weifeng knew that it wasn't enough.

"Well, treacherous politicians don't even have a decent businessman. Let's take it and see it for myself......"

Weifeng tossed the list he had obtained from Cole to Luther.

Luthor looked at the list in his hand with some confusion, and gradually showed an incredulous expression.

"This, this is ......"

"This is the list that Cole has in his hand, and I traded Mino's safety for him. If you talk nonsense with me again, or lie to me with a list of half-truths, I promise I won't talk to you again. ”

Weifeng looked at Luthor with fierce eyes, and there was undeniable majesty in his tone.

Weifeng knew that this was a contest, and if his momentum was still relaxed, Luthor would continue to delay. After all, Cole can't afford to be seriously injured now, even without the assistance of the White Shield Chamber of Commerce, as long as there is enough time, Luthor can still control the upstart faction.

But Weifeng knew that Luther's ambitions were far more than that, and he must have delusionally thought that he could get more money and power through the upstart faction, in this case, there must be a strong enough support behind the upstart faction. Greed will make this porcupine, who is good at playing with human nature, lose the last shred of reason.

Sure enough, despite the hesitation on his face, Luthor pulled out a list from a secret compartment in the room.

Weifeng finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the nearly month-long plan finally came to fruition.

In the evening, Mikaze sent Cole to Luther's side and picked up Mino.

Unwinded, Luthor would not attack Cole until he had full control of the upstart faction. Perhaps Luthor didn't realize that greed and over-prudence are also weaknesses in human nature.
