Chapter 294: Chapter 289: The Little Think Tank of the New Policy_1

Owen Bertram said, "What you guys are worried about is that if the person executing this task is not capable or skilled enough, and can’t kill these eleven aristocratic families in one blow, they might find a chance to incite a revolt, right? So why don’t we just find someone with enough weight to carry it out?"

Abner Lane answered, "Though that makes sense, who else could we find? Don’t tell me it’s you."

"Of course not me." Owen Bertram said, "I’m talking about the North Prison Commander Liam!"

"Hmm?" The two masters furrowed their brows.

Owen Bertram continued, "We killed Adair Barton, so doesn’t that mean Commander Liam owes us a huge favor? We let her handle this matter and return the favor for us.

The North Prison Commander’s status should be enough, right? She should also have the ability to act simultaneously in various places and wipe out these aristocratic families in one swoop!"

In the capital, Adonis Dunn had a strange look on his face as he glanced at Abner Lane beside him. Abner Lane didn’t speak for a long time, while Owen Bertram on the other side, unaware of the situation, was getting impatient, "Is it feasible or not?"

Abner Lane finally spoke, "It’s not that it’s not feasible..."

"If Master Lane can come up with another idea, we’ll listen to you."

Abner Lane, with his hands behind his back and looking up at the sky, sighed helplessly, "Let’s do it this way then, I’ll go find Nick Liam."

Owen Bertram: "No need to thank me."

Abner Lane angrily disconnected the Communication Talisman and immediately saw Adonis Dunn looking at him with a smile that was not quite a smile. His old face turned red, "Are you still remembering some old stories, Lord Dunn?"

"Hehe, no, what story? I’ve forgotten it long ago. Hehe!"

"The military expenditure wasn’t enough, but after confiscating these aristocratic families, there should be some surplus. How gratifying!"

...

Sophia came out of the Lifeless Gorge with a full heart of doubt. She was just a little later than David and the others who had first dealt with Elder Collins’ men outside the gorge.

When Sophie came out and was passing by, she couldn’t help but feel that the Fifth Great Realm, whom she had seen in the Henry Case, seemed to be looking at her strangely.

Sophia was a bit frightened by his gaze, not because she liked to worry too much, but because she, a woman like her, had really encountered many powerful men with lustful intentions during her solo adventures over the past years.

Sophia wasn’t made of stone, and when she was young she had dreamed of a romantic affair, traveling through the Eight Desolates with a dual cultivation partner. As she grew older and became burdened by her family, she became more pragmatic and would think about finding a well-conditioned male cultivator stronger than herself for mutual support.

From a practical standpoint, this Fifth Great Realm was indeed a good choice. Just at that moment, Sophia scared herself because the moment she had this thought, she felt a sudden twinge of guilt towards Lord!

Sophia shuddered and didn’t care whether the Fifth Great Realm was still looking at her or not, she wrapped her clothes tightly and hurried away.

Behind her, Calvin was pointing the finger, "Don’t look, don’t speak, don’t listen, don’t touch what you shouldn’t!"

David rolled his eyes at him, thinking: What an idiot.

When Sophia returned to Black-water County Town, it was almost dark. She used to have a place to stay in a local inn, so she could go back with ease now.

At the inn after taking a bath and dressing, Lord’s Communication Talisman jumped out from her pile of clothes. Sophia blushed and spat, "Old pervert, always picking such a time to return messages."

She took her time getting dressed, preparing to make the old man wait, but as soon as she was dressed, there was a knock at the door, "I know you’re in there. If you don’t open the door, I’m going to barge right in."

It was Lord’s voice.

Sophia pouted and reluctantly opened the door, "What do you want?"

Lord walked in with his hands behind his back and a haughty look in his eyes, "If it wasn’t for me sacrificing my face and begging the master behind me, could you have been rescued so quickly?"

Only then did Sophia snort and say, "That master isn’t like you, stingy and petty. They gave generously with two thousand more Spirit Jade than needed!

And they are young and hold high positions, wealthy, and dashing, unlike you, just a withered old ghost."

Intentionally while saying this, Sophia swayed her hips and looked lively. Lord’s face indeed turned green with anger, and he sat down sulkingly in a corner. Sophia secretly delighted, but she didn’t know that Lord’s mood was so complicated at the moment: Did I just...cuck myself?

"Alright!" Lord slapped the table, "Don’t look down on me either. A great opportunity is about to land on my head. I, Lord, have a chance to be promoted to Tier-5!"

"Really?" Sophia was delighted, and Lord snorted, "You stupid woman, I still care about you and want to make up for your troubles with a light and profitable job..."

Sophia’s pretty face suddenly collapsed, "Stop it... "

"I give up. I won’t take any more of your business."

Lord crossed his legs, "Are you sure? Why don’t you at least listen? This job is specially arranged for you."

Sophia hesitated again, "Then... let’s just listen."

Lord grinned, "You’ve heard about the highly popular River God near the river recently, right?"

Sophia’s face changed again, she waved her hands in panic, "Don’t try to screw me, I don’t have enough lives to spare messing with a deity."

"What are you afraid of?" Lord scolded, "You’re such a useless, stupid woman. I’m not asking you to investigate the River God. Just go and find out who’s behind the River God faith.

And you can rest assured, the master behind me is very confident in assuring you that there will be absolutely no danger in this job!"

Sophia was puzzled, "So confident?"

Lord went on, "And for such a simple task, the reward is a full five thousand Spirit Jade! You just need to find a River God Temple and ask a few questions to find out."

Five thousand Spirit Jade wasn’t much, of course, compared to her previous jobs. The less money, the safer, so Sophia was tempted, "Alright, I’ll go and check it out."

Lord nodded, then lingered and refused to leave, his eyes looking sneakily everywhere in the room. Sophia’s heart tightened as she pushed him out the door, "What are you looking at? I’ll poke your dog’s eyes out! Come on, get out of here! What are you doing here at night?"

Lord was driven out and stood on the street outside, shaking his head with a bitter smile.

Owen Bertram had always wanted to figure out who was the mastermind behind his old second River God alter ego, so he decided to throw this task to Sophia.

The entire Black-water County Town was not large, and Owen Bertram’s current realm was fully capable of capturing everything.

He reached out across the air and grabbed, so Lord made a whooshing sound as he vanished from the street and appeared in front of his master.

Owen Bertram pulled out Adair Barton’s soul under the cover of night and handed it to Lord.

Then, controlling Lord, he began to absorb the Tier-6 soul.
