That’s… quite a lot of information!
Facing this sudden change, Fu Qian still sat there without moving.
Ariel undoubtedly made a shocking statement.
First, his words were obviously addressed to Windbreaker Guy, and the clever guest he referred to was without a doubt himself.
The most crucial point was that after hearing this, Windbreaker Guy genuinely seemed to have let out a sigh of relief, even casually putting away his cane.
…
“Do we need to call anyone else?”
After sizing up Fu Qian with caution, Windbreaker Guy asked Ariel in a tone seeking confirmation.
“No need. I’ve said our guest is a smart person.”
Ariel waved his hand again, looking at Fu Qian with interest.
“Curiosity is quite a wonderful trait, but it not only brings surprises, it also brings danger.”
“This conversation was indeed not within my plans.”
“Unfortunately, one always has to adapt to the situation.”
“So if I’m not misunderstanding, you’re trying to tell me that you’re actually on their side, and that the Night Watchman knew about the hunt from the beginning?”
After pondering for two seconds, Fu Qian pointed at Windbreaker Guy.
“Now, you seem somewhat cuter than the former Camus.”
Ariel seemed very satisfied with Fu Qian’s quick comprehension.
“The demigod will lingering within your facial mask must be an interesting person.”
“That’s right, for this opportunity to catch several big fish at once, we’ve been preparing for quite a long time.”
As Ariel spoke, he picked up the manuscript from earlier and flipped through it.
“To make the prey less wary of the trap, the best way is to let them believe the trap was set for other prey.”
“Beastly Disease is a good idea, isn’t it? It gives us ample reason to deploy personnel.”
“And such a rare chance that comes only once a year is so valuable that it’s hard to decide to call off the operation directly when the tension is still within a controllable range.”
“So neither Veheler nor Ya Yu are privy to this information?”
Without interrupting, Fu Qian waited for Ariel to finish before asking thoughtfully.
“Of course, Veheler has no idea, as for Ya Yu, though he hides it well, considering the earlier use of a secret puppet, it’s clear he’s also in Dunis… Yes, so he doesn’t know either.”
The smile on Ariel’s face grew even broader.
“In fact, confirming this was thanks to you.”
“I see, so when were you all planning to make your move originally?”
“Your focus is quite unique!”
A look of surprise crossed Ariel’s face, but after a thought, he still answered Fu Qian’s question.
“Naturally, when you make your move, when the horn blows. Veheler will be by Count Valentin’s side… and so will I.”
“As for you, there will surely be specialized personnel to entertain you.”
“Understood, thanks for the clarification.”
Fu Qian nodded his head.
“So sorry, but to ensure the plan goes smoothly, you’ll need to follow my man and find a place to rest for a while—or perhaps attempt to struggle.”
Ariel signaled to Windbreaker Guy with a gesture.
“You’re a smart man, I believe you’ll make the right choice.”
“Yeah, it does seem quite obvious.”
As the Night Watchman approached, Fu Qian stood up while speaking.
“Hello there!”
The next moment, he politely greeted Windbreaker Guy and, before the latter could subconsciously respond, fired an Air Bullet straight at his forehead.
“`
At this distance, for a Middle Tier competitor, such an attack was almost certainly fatal.
Meanwhile, Fu Qian’s body didn’t hesitate as he leaped backward, crashing towards the direction of the window.
This series of movements was fluid as flowing water, even as Ariel reached out to block the Air Bullet, Fu Qian had already drawn “Mercy,” spun the Turning Wheel, and pulled the trigger directly at him.
Regrettably, at the next moment, no gunshot sounded in the darkness.
…
A dud? That was far too coincidental.
