Chapter 193: Chapter 191: Prince Henry Goes Fishing_1

"The Horizon Bureau has been creating obstacles, and Guardian Hall has not been able to recruit any talent. As a result, they have been aggressively absorbing Ghost catchers and Demon Beast hunters, who are all wilderness cultivators."

Prince Henry nodded. He had previously sensed that these people were full of vagabond spirit, and this confirmed his suspicion.

"Haha..." Prince Henry smirked grimly: "Adonis Dunn is the secondary aide, and Abner Lane is in charge of the Horizon Bureau’s Southern Prison. With them in place, Guardian Hall will still be able to recruit some strong characters from the wilderness cultivators."

"Well, these two fellows, they really think I’m easy to exploit? They want to use me to establish their authority and seize the opportunity to open the situation?"

He said ominously: "Let Mr. Nicholas takes care of this matter in full. The goal is to gather strong men and sweep them all into the net! If Adonis Dunn wants to use me to establish his authority, I will first cut off his minions!"

"The student shall obey!"

...

The Broken-Star Sect still possesses strength. Half of all disciples are guarding the broken gate of the mountain, and the other half are making a fuss about searching for the "thief".

However, the elder in charge of the team was aware that they must not find him, for when they do, it would be the day of their demise. Therefore, Owen Bertram and Nathan Lane left the perimeter of Wind and Rain Mountain with ease. Instead of returning to the outpost, they went to Darnell Manor.

This time, "Jamal" informed Nathan Lane: the River God does possess the ability to inspect souls. From the memory of the Bat Taoist, many useful leads were found, such as those who contacted him and those who delivered various supplies to him.

Along the way, they discussed the case again and exchanged opinions. In summary, there are two key points: the first is to confirm the real location of Prince Henry.

If the one in the Royal Palace is a fake, then how can they guarantee that the Prince Henry in that mansion is real?

Also, after the last surprise, Prince Henry might change his location.

The second point, find out the location of the massive treasure that Prince Henry has amassed.

As for that powerful Variant Soldier... both wisely avoided discussing it; first, the target is too strong, and second, there is no benefit.

...

In front of Prince Henry, Mr. Nicholas humbly referred to himself as a "student", but in front of others, he truly carried some aura.

At this moment, a cultivator standing before him, although at The Second Level, still looked scared, "Sir, is this plan reliable?"

Mr. Nicholas spoke calmly, "There are four powerful individuals setting up the trap in secret, all possessing the strength of the Fourth Great Realm.

I’ve specifically requested one of them to ensure your safety. Besides, this operation also has the Fifth Great Realm’s Morris Brenton presiding, ensuring no unexpected incidents. What else are you worried about?"

"Concentrate on your role as the bait. Once we capture these fanatics, it will be a great achievement. I will speak highly of you in front of his Royal Highness. He will gift you with the Divine Seal Pill to assist you in breaking through to the Third Great Boundary."

The man, out of options, bowed to receive the order: "Subordinate acknowledges the command."

He exited the dark room, drew in a deep breath and settled into an air of nonchalance, carrying on with his usual work.

He is one of Prince Henry’s underlings, a clerk. His position isn’t high-ranking but is very crucial. He is responsible for liaising with the varied talents that Prince Henry has recruited and for distributing the necessary resources they require.

The Bat Taoist’s contact was him.

He works from the Henry Mansion. As the shift ended and darkness fell, like always, he tidied up all the documents, locked up, and left.

Someone invited him out tonight for drinks and music at the Flower Building. His position holds little formal power but grants him plenty of perks and dinner parties were aplenty.By midnight, the intoxicated Clerk staggered out of the Flower Building, heading home for rest. The old woman with the yellow face had long been asleep, and two little maids attended to his washing, naturally arousing his lust, he groped and teased them again.

This day passed surprisingly quietly.

Cultivators who laid traps in secret quietly retreated. Mr. Nicholas was accompanying an elder, who was none other than Morris Brenton of the Fifth Great Realm. If Owen Bertram were here, he would recognize him as the Fifth Great Realm individual who had sent that batch of treasure materials to Bat Taoist.

Morris Brenton snorted coldly: "Quite cunning".

Mr. Nicholas smiled mildly, saying, "Elder Morris, one must have patience when fishing. The more cunning the fish, the greater the sense of accomplishment at the moment of reeling it in."

Morris Brenton couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

They used the Clerk as bait for three days but caught nothing, no fish took the bait. Morris Brenton and the other four from the Fourth Great Realm were all somewhat impatient, but Mr. Nicholas still calmly ordered: "Continue tomorrow."

On the evening of the fourth day, the Clerk went to the famous "Berg Tower" in Prefecture City, where a cultivator who wished to pledge allegiance to Prince Henry had hosted a banquet.

The Berg Tower was one of the most expensive restaurants in the city, boasting more than ten high-level singing girls who were billed as "performers not courtesans", a prospect that was quite appealing to some people.

The cultivator hosting tonight’s banquet was not only generous, master of flattery, his ass-kissing made the Clerk receive much useful advice, but he also proved to be a real talent.

He claimed to possess miraculous alchemy skills, specializing in strange poisons. This skill could serve useful purposes for Prince Henry, so he sought refuge under Prince Henry to secure a future for himself.

Although the Clerk looked down on him as a mere cultivator and thinking of something like "Supporting Dragon Court", he was quite dismissive in his heart. But this cultivator was very "knowing", hinting the Clerk that as long as the matter was settled, he would share thirty percent of the various benefits given by Prince Henry to him.

So, in the singing of the three singing girls, the banquet was enjoyable for all, the cultivator saw him off downstairs, and the Clerk happily returned home.

But as soon as the carriage entered a dark small alley, the Clerk sobered up: something was wrong!

The whole alley was eerily silent, with no one in front and behind, the carriage was slowing down, the Clerk lifted the curtain to take a look, the coachman had already passed out.

The Clerk inwardly cried out in alarm, and attempted a flip - the maneuver failed. Before he could hit the ground, a dense wave of silk threads surged from the surrounding darkness, enveloping him layer after layer, then aiming at a direction and it flew off, landing in someone’s hands.

The person who grabbed the Clerk jumped up, but heard a long laugh: "The fish finally took the bait!"

There was a burst of radiance in the alley, and the aura of the strong cultivators rose one by one, blocking the person’s path.

However, after a brief combat, that person was caught, and the Clerk was saved. But then, Morris Brenton snorted coldly, "A puppet, thinking to deceive my eyes!"

A more powerful aura soared into the sky, Morris Brenton rode his sword, heading straight for a small building not far away, then with a bang, the entire building was blown to pieces by his sword light, a figure tumbled and fell, fleeing towards the northeast - Morris Brenton pursued relentlessly!

Underneath the small building, in the secret tunnel, the Bamboo Hat Woman hurriedly traversed, looking rather disheveled.

She gritted her teeth and cursed silently, her well-planned operation, how could it have fallen into an ambush?!

Even a cultivator of the Fifth Great Realm was on guard?!

The clues to the Ghost Lair that the Bamboo Hat Woman traced pointed to the Clerk – the supplies from the Master of the Estate were all distributed by him.

She sneaked into Darnell Manor, covertly investigating for several days before figuring out the Clerk’s patterns, then waited for two more days, confirmed there was no danger before making her move tonight.

Who would have thought that after losing two expensive puppets, she managed to escape. The Bamboo Hat Woman was heartbroken: this deal was a big loss.

She crawled out of the tunnel exit, but instantly froze in place, under a big tree not too far away in the night, stood an elder with a sword, he gave her a cold smile and said, "If such petty tricks allowed you to escape, I, a dignified Fifth Great Realm, might as well bash my head in!"
