Chapter 258 Kill Rewards
Not long after Evan finished his ambush, a figure in a black trench coat appeared in the night carrying a briefcase and arrived in front of the villa. It was Beckeron who had come to make contact.
Beckeron looked around and, finding no one around, easily scaled the wall and entered the villa, relying on his excellent physical abilities.
Just as he put down his suitcase and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a clear and melodious voice rang out.
"Not bad, it seems that years of comfortable life haven't eroded your vigilance!"
Upon hearing the sudden sound, Beckeron jumped to his feet, his entire body tense. He conjured a ball of orange-red flame in his hand, and with a flick of his right hand, the flame transformed into a long, crimson whip, flowing like water.
The long whip scorched the surrounding air, and the terrifying temperature instantly raised the temperature of the entire room, dispelling the chill of early autumn.
Dressed in men's clothing, "Alice" emerged from the shadows in the corner of the room, took out a pocket watch from her chest, glanced at the time, and...
They discovered it was only 11:30, half an hour earlier than their agreed time.
From this perspective, Beckerang maintained his vigilance as a "hunter" and did not relax his due caution because of "Alice's" identity.
Seeing that the newcomer was Alice, whom he had already pledged allegiance to, Beckron breathed a sigh of relief, dispelled the flaming whip in his hand, and said with a smile:
"You flatter me greatly. I am deeply humbled. I never expected that Your Highness would personally come to my aid. I am moved to tears!"
Having decided to pledge allegiance to "Alice," Beckeron would not be shy about showing his respect and would seize every opportunity to demonstrate his subservience.
Alice placed the pocket watch in her hand into her breast pocket. Sensing, through her intuition, that Beckeron's briefcase contained some extraordinary items, she asked curiously:
"Be careful what you're carrying, or your identity will be exposed at the checkpoint!"
Becker glanced at his briefcase and said nonchalantly:
"Now that I have decided to pledge allegiance to the Empire, I will naturally have no more attachment or affection for Intis. I have killed the extraordinary individuals who were secretly monitoring me; they all possessed extraordinary characteristics."
While speaking, Becker felt a tickle in his nose and throat, and wanted to sneeze or cough, but he didn't want to be impolite in front of Alice, so he had to hold it in.
Alice also looked at the person in front of her with surprise. She did not expect him to be so decisive. Once he made a decision, he could do it to this extent, leaving himself no way out.
It's obvious that Becker deliberately didn't set up a spiritual wall around the suitcase to conceal its contents, and instead made "Alice" ask questions. This was to show his determination to sever ties with the past.
Now Evan is genuinely starting to appreciate Beckeron, but unfortunately, no matter how much he appreciates Beckeron now, Alice can't save his life.
Becker endured the itching in his nose and throat, but his body changed very quickly. In just a few seconds, his body became burning hot, his lungs were in excruciating pain, and his throat was so swollen that he found it extremely difficult to breathe.
"Watch out, the Witch of Pain is lying in ambush!"
Cough cough! Cough cough cough cough!
Becker could no longer bear it and coughed violently, as if he were coughing up all his internal organs.
The strange sensation in his body finally made Beckron realize that he had been attacked, and by the witch that Intis was most common.
After saying just one sentence, Beckeron's throat swelled up so much that he couldn't make a sound.
But being very familiar with witches, he immediately set his entire body ablaze, intending to use the terrifying heat of the flames to eliminate the pathogens within his body. Then, he flashed to the edge of the room, leaning against the wall, and at the same time, took out the only sealing artifact he carried from his pocket to probe his surroundings, searching for the 'witch' who was skilled at invisibility.
When Beckeron looked at the tiny, completely black-eyed puppet exploring the surroundings and found no trace of a third person, he was very puzzled.
Just after his reminder, "Alice," who had gone invisible, appeared beside him, slapped the puppet out of his hand, and punched him in the stomach with her other fist, silencing what Becker was about to say.
Since Alice had already made her move, she naturally wouldn't give Beckron any time to react. She grabbed Beckron's body with both hands and threw him into the air.
Beckeron had no time to ponder why "Alice" wanted to kill him. He knew that if he couldn't avoid Evan's next attack, he would have no chance of survival.
But Beckron couldn't get any leverage while in the air, so he could only rely on his own muscle strength to forcefully twist his body, while simultaneously gathering a dozen or so fire crows around him and hurling them at Alice. He didn't expect to hurt Alice; he only hoped to slightly disrupt her and help her land safely.
But Evan, who had already devised a complete assassination plan, had anticipated his actions. As soon as he threw Beckeron into the air, he had a dozen or so dark and cold flames gather around him and rush towards the fire crow in the air.
The "Reaper" ability that Aiwen pre-borrowed through the "City of Calamity" - Part 2
Under "precise" control, the "Black Flame" collided with the Fire Raven created by Beckron without any mishap.
There was no explosion as expected. The collision between the fire crow and the "black flame" was like snow meeting fire—they melted away.
The extra "black flames" struck Beckeron.
At the same time, Alice's emerald green eyes suddenly turned iron black—"Weakness Observation".
In just a moment, Alice saw Beckeron's weakness in his left chest.
Without the slightest hesitation, Alice concentrated all her strength in her right fist, and with a light tap of her foot, she gracefully entered the air. With lightning speed, she struck Becker's left chest amidst his terrified, confused, and pained gaze.
Beckron's life force was instantly reduced to zero, and he fell onto the floor of the villa. The 'black flames' fueled by his spiritual energy dripped onto the floor along with the blood flowing from his mouth and nose, but caused no damage and gradually went out.
"The Audience Path ability is really useful. Without the help of 'Golden Gaze,' I wouldn't have been able to kill Beckron so easily. After all, in order to frame the Witch Cult, I had no choice but to fight using the 'Witch' Path ability."
Looking at Beckeron, who was already dead and beyond any hope of survival, Evan turned the yellow gemstone ring on his left index finger and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
When Becker entered the villa, the first thing "Alice" did was not to attack him with pathogens, but to hypnotize him with "golden gaze" and plant two psychological suggestions.
The first psychological suggestion is that when Beckeron falls ill, he will not suspect "Alice" but will subconsciously think that the witches of the witch cult have attacked.
The second psychological suggestion is that, faced with an attack, Beckeron would not consider retreating, but instead would want to work with "Alice" to deal with the ambushers, completely disregarding the danger involved.
These two psychological suggestions perfectly created the ideal assassination environment for "Alice"!
Suddenly, billowing black flames erupted from Evan's body, "cleaning" the entire room to prevent any clues from being left behind.
At the same time, they opened Beckeron's briefcase and found that inside were two pieces of clothing and two anonymous bills that could be cashed immediately.
They were all small boxes.
Both checks can be cashed at any bank that is a member of the International Banking Union. The total cash value is approximately 3...
Wan Jinbang (a list of names of people who have made a fortune).
This is pretty much all of Beckeron's wealth, which has eased my current immense cash flow pressure.
Evan currently holds mostly fixed assets and has very little cash left; he's extremely strapped for cash.
The things to be done next all require money, and a lot of money at that. These two receipts greatly relieved Evan's pressure.
As for those small boxes, Alice casually opened one and found a red extraordinary trait inside. Based on her sensitivity to things from the "Hunter" pathway, Alice immediately determined that it was an "Arsonist" extraordinary trait.
Looking at the dozen or so identical little boxes in the suitcase, Alice thought to herself that she had struck it rich. Even if not all of them contained the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 7, it was still a great fortune for her.
After all, sometimes money doesn't guarantee you so many extraordinary traits, let alone when he's about to build an army.
In Evan's mind, the middle and lower-ranking officers in the army he was building should all be extraordinary individuals, and once the army was completed, it should at least have combat power no less than that of a pirate general.
Moreover, both he and Robert hoped that this newly formed army would become their "private army," rather than an army truly loyal to the Kingdom of Rune.
Therefore, this kind of task of helping officers become extraordinary cannot be entrusted to others; the relevant potion formulas and extraordinary properties must be obtained.
It should be provided by Robert and Irwin.
Therefore, the extraordinary characteristics that Beckeron brings are exactly what Evan needs now.
Could these extraordinary characteristics all have been obtained by Beckeron from a recent kill?
If that's the case, the Intis embassy in the Kingdom of Rune would probably be a bloodbath by now!
Beckeron had long harbored rebellious intentions and understood the ill will towards him within the country. He was certainly resentful of those who were secretly monitoring him.
Therefore, it is not impossible that when he decided to pledge allegiance to Princess Alice of the Fusak Empire, he would preemptively plot a "conspiracy" to wipe out all those involved.
The deaths of two ambassadors were already a major event, but now the entire Intis embassy has been bloodily raided. It's inevitable that the situation will escalate, and it remains to be seen how King George III will respond!
As Evan resealed the suitcase, he thought to himself with a smug grin.
In short, the bigger the matter and the more chaotic the situation, the less the Witch Cult should show itself at this time, and the more advantageous it is for Robert and Evan to delay George III's plan to clear his name.
Then Alice took out a cigarette case she had prepared in advance, which contained the sealed artifact that Beckron had never played a significant role in from the beginning, and also put a golden talisman into the cigarette case.
It was the "Sun Flame" talisman that Evan had previously acquired from Klein for 10,000 gold coins.
Judging from the fact that Beckeron always carried it with him, the side effects of this sealing artifact with living properties should not be significant.
However, due to his cautious nature, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he prepared to use this demigod-level "Sun" pathway talisman as a temporary sealing measure.
As expected, upon noticing the presence of a demigod-level talisman beside it, the usually docile puppet-like sealed object clearly showed fear, looking pitifully at 'Alice'.
Alice naturally ignored the emotions of the sealed object and directly closed the cigarette box lid.
After checking and finding no loopholes, "Alice" left the villa with her suitcase. As she walked, she gradually transformed back into a man and hailed a night carriage, heading towards her home in the West District.
I wonder how Klein's operation is going. This time, he's taking advantage of the situation, so it should be much more proactive and smoother than in the original story!
Evan looked at the scenery rushing past outside the carriage window, thinking about Klein's actions.
Klein and his team's operation here went very smoothly. Through various probes, Klein and his team confirmed that Rosago had two Mystic Puppets, not the maximum of three for Mystic Puppet Masters.
Klein and Miss Sharon's plan was simple: to lure Rosago to a place with very little cover.
Meanwhile, they placed explosives in places where they could hide.
It would be best if Rosago suggested this place to avoid arousing suspicion, since the intuition of the Sequence 5 "Master of the Puppet" who occupies the next player's path is very accurate.
During this time, under Miss Sharon's protection, Ian Wright disguised himself as a kite with a broken string, and after the previous person died,
A greedy person who is ready to convert what he has into cash.
Rosago initially considered capturing Ian Wright and using psychic abilities to find the blueprints for the ironclad warship.
But Ian Wright was always out in the public eye, which didn't give him a chance to make a move.
Moreover, his spiritual intuition kept reminding him that if he took action against Ian Wright, the outcome might not be as he wished.
Therefore, Rosago restrained his urge to take action and instead had his puppet disguise itself as a trader to make a deal with Ian Wright.
Just as they were about to conduct the transaction during the day, they were "unlucky" enough to encounter an investigation by MI9. In the end, in order to cover Ian Wright's retreat, Rosago was forced to lose an "arsonist" puppet.
The failed bar deal forced Rosago to send another puppet to contact Ian Wright, and the transaction was arranged outside Backlund City to minimize the possibility of unforeseen circumstances.
Rosago thought that since he could decide the time and place, everything would be foolproof, but he didn't know that Klein had already "occupied" the possible trading locations on the "Gray Fog" in advance, completing the ambush in advance.
