Chapter 1267: Chapter 939: The Princess Signs a Contract

The room fell into an eerie silence.

The Ghost noticed Wu Heng remaining silent for a long time, a hint of smugness flashed in its eyes as it sneered, "What’s the matter, scared? The Holy Court’s iron cavalry will flatten your Gold and Silver Island, and everything you hold dear will be..."

Before it could finish, three Ghosts suddenly leaned together, whispering.

"She’s so fierce." Xiao Xiao shrank behind Bella.

Bella sheltered her and said, "Isn’t this what Wu Heng always says about... what’s that illness again?"

"Paranoia?" Glenda answered.

"Yes, yes!" Bella immediately nodded.

"So, she’s sick! Poor thing." Xiao Xiao followed up.

The Ghost’s expression froze instantly; its threats seemingly had no effect.

It glared maliciously at the three Ghosts across from it, finding them still discussing it in hushed tones.

This feeling was unbearable!

It folded its arms and turned its face aside, muttering, "What kind of people are they?"

"Are you from the same clan as that three-eyed general?" Wu Heng suddenly asked.

"Hmph!" The Ghost glanced sidelong and then turned further inward.

Wu Heng looked at Glenda, who in turn signaled Bella.

Bella frowned but still said, "She definitely isn’t. That general has three eyes on his forehead, she doesn’t, and she even has a fox tail, clearly a member of the fox people clan."

The Soul’s upper body was the clearest, becoming increasingly more translucent downward.

But one could still see a fox tail.

Moreover, having had contact with Andre Willow, one naturally thought of the fox people clan.

"Country woman, what do you know." The Ghost mocked.

"Then do you dare to tell the truth?" Bella put her hands on her hips, pressing closer, her tavern-bred sharp tongue coming into play, "Or can you only do those sneaky little tricks behind others’ backs?"

The Ghost suddenly laughed, "Provocation tactics don’t work on me... little girl!."

As they spoke, the clear laughter of the Fifth Princess could be heard from downstairs, along with Shanaela’s voice.

Wu Heng’s fingertips moved subtly; amidst the Ghost’s loud cursing, it was sucked back into the Demon Soul Pot.

Knock knock knock!

"Wu Heng?" Shanaela’s voice sounded along with knocking on the door.

The three Ghosts seamlessly hid in the shadows.

"Come in!" Wu Heng said.

The door opened wide, and Shanaela strode in, with the Fifth Princess following closely behind.

"How did you catch it?" Shanaela asked directly.

"I chased down a passenger ship, the boots and belt were left behind to mislead us." Wu Heng explained, recounting the events in general.

The two women listened carefully; Shanaela continued to ask, "Who exactly is targeting you?"

There had been two speculations before: one was that the Ghost held a grudge against Wu Heng, and the man was an accomplice of the Ghost; the other was that the man had a vengeance, helping the Ghost find items to nourish the Ghost, thereby setting Wu Heng up.

Seated opposite the two women, Wu Heng said, "The Ghost, it’s actually an old grudge; one of her friends died at my hands previously."

The two women exchanged glances and also relaxed.

Why the Ghost wanted to harm Wu Heng didn’t really matter.

What mattered most was finding the mastermind to prove Wu Heng’s innocence and avoid worsening relations between Gold and Silver Island and The Holy Court.

Now that they had captured the target, the matter was naturally resolved.

The three continued chatting in the study for a while.

Shanaela and the Fifth Princess left to attend to their own affairs.

...

After dinner, in the study.

Ring ring ring~!

The phone rang, showing Lilith as the caller.

"Lilith Leader!" Wu Heng answered the call and greeted.

"How’s the investigation going?" Lilith asked coldly.

"The target has been captured." Wu Heng replied directly.

Lilith’s tone noticeably relaxed, "So, the information was useful?"

"Thanks to the Secret Speaker’s intelligence." Wu Heng said.

Capturing the target was largely due to the Secret Speaker providing their location.

Of course, the other side had also prepared in advance, leaving false clues to mislead them.

But it also proved the strength of the Secret Speaker’s intelligence.

"Capture it and return quickly, before the Holy Court receives the information." Lilith instructed.

"Alright." Wu Heng agreed.

After the conversation, Wu Heng ended the call.

Looking at the phone, Wu Heng put it away.

Knock knock~!

Two soft knocks, then the Fifth Princess’s timid voice came from the door, "Leader?"

"I’m here, come in!" Wu Heng said.

The young girl, dressed in casual wear, pushed the door open, standing nervously across from Wu Heng, wringing her hands.

Seeing her appearance, Wu Heng curiously asked, "Did someone bully you?"

"No, no." The Fifth Princess looked up and said, "Are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Yes, the construction of the church still needs your attention." Wu Heng replied gently.

The girl suddenly lifted her head, her gaze firm, "You promised me, you would support me, does that still count?"

The room fell silent instantly.

Wu Heng looked at her youthful but determined face and said, "This path may not suit your personality."

"I’m not afraid, the Kingdom can no longer be left to them!" The Fifth Princess knelt on one knee, "Please sign a contract with me."

Moonlight streamed through the window, casting its glow on the Fifth Princess.

It reminded Wu Heng of their first meeting, where the Fifth Princess stood imperiously aside, declaring to form her own team, inviting Wu Heng to join her to reclaim the Kingdom.

Now, she still wanted Wu Heng’s help, just in a different way.

Wu Heng looked at her and said, "Once the contract is signed, there’s no backing out. You need to think it through."

"I’ve thought it through, boarding Gold and Silver Island was the best decision I ever made, and I believe this choice is also right." The Fifth Princess spoke with even more determination.
