Chapter 578

“Everyone, there’s no turning back regarding the matter of the Crocodile Kingdom.”

As Prince Andre, the traitor of the Execution King Assembly, set off on his final journey in utter confusion, Bai She, who had stormed off earlier in anger, had already gathered all official members of the Execution King Assembly. After briefly recounting what she had seen and heard, her tone turned slightly cold as she began to speak:

“Our years of planning have been completely ruined by that Level 3 Cleaner. Not only did he rescue the叛徒 Black Owl and Snow Owl, but he also utterly destroyed one of the thirteen kingdoms, the Crocodile Kingdom.

Including the previous incident at ‘Tin Palace,’ this is already the second time he’s disrupted our plans. Personally, I believe we underestimated Leon Lane too much. His threat level should be immediately increased.”

“I agree with that.”

As Bai She finished speaking, Dawkya wearing a mask of a sparrow sitting to her left nodded immediately, opening his mouth with an expression of pain:

“This Leon Lane is truly strange. The cleaners sent by the Scorpio Division were almost wiped out, and even their director was compromised, yet I can’t figure out how he managed to turn the tables.”

“Hmm…”

Sitting across from Dawkya, the slender figure known as “Black Cat” sighed, nodding along: “The incident at ‘Tin Palace’ could be excused; it was due to insufficient preparation, and there were many loopholes in our rushed actions, so it was understandable that he found them.

But concerning the Crocodile Kingdom, 99% of the royal family is dead, and the remaining two are our unofficial members, each bound by three highly specific blood oaths, making it impossible for us to lose under any circumstances.

And despite this near-guaranteed victory, we still incurred great costs, forcibly transferring Bai She’s power down to assist Black Owl in controlling the Scorpio Director.

Yet, even after doing all that, not only did he manage to sever the royal lineage, but he even retrieved the previously deceased cleaners from Deathscape and burned down the entire Crocodile Kingdom… This guy is really over the top.”

“Yeah, this guy is just…”

“The level of importance placed on him must increase!”

“I agree too; this person is too strange.”

“Since none of you oppose, let’s finalize this decision then.”

With unanimous agreement from all Execution King Assembly members, Bai She spoke decisively from her seat: “From now on, the level of importance placed on Leon Lane, the Level 3 Cleaner of the Virgo Subdivision, will be directly raised by two levels, treating him as equivalent to the director of one of the twelve Zodiac Divisions. Begin gathering all intelligence about him and monitor his every move closely.

Furthermore, in all future plans, if there’s any possibility of direct contact with him, no action should be taken without immediate consultation and discussion among all official members!”

“Agreed!”

“That’s how it should be.”

“I have no objections.”

“Then today’s first resolution is unanimously passed.”

After concluding, Bai She glanced towards Hei Mao seated to her right, asking gently: “How’s the Witch Kingdom coming along? Is the situation stable?”

“To be honest, it’s not looking good.”

Hei Mao sighed helplessly upon hearing this: “The situation in Mifara Kingdom is relatively stable; the Great Mage King won’t live much longer. However, the Fish Division has been very active recently, increasing manpower guarding the Deity Palace and holding dozens of large-scale rituals.

If I’m not mistaken, the Fish Division likely suspects that the Great Mage King’s daughter is a fake planted by us and is probably using these soul rituals to search for the true princess of the Witch Kingdom.”

Bai She frowned slightly, her expression turning somewhat unfriendly as she pressed further: “Your Yarn Ball Society has been operating in Mifara Kingdom for many years. Have you still not managed to find the missing princess despite all your efforts?”

“It’s different.”

Hei Mao shook her head and explained: “The Fish Division can search openly, while I have to act covertly to avoid drawing attention from the Clearing Bureau. How can my efficiency compare to theirs? Currently, I can confirm that the real princess of the Witch Kingdom is alive and did not die in the attack years ago. Instead, she managed to hide herself to avoid being targeted again.”

I see…

After listening to Hei Mao, Bai She couldn’t help but sigh.

“So you don’t have any good news either, huh?”

“There is some good news.”

Hei Mao hesitated for a moment before responding uncertainly:

“One of the people we sent to attack her back then was from the Fish Division, so she doesn’t trust the Clearing Bureau. Over the years, she has avoided any contact with them and has been actively evading the Fish Division’s search.

Additionally, she is a genius witch with abilities close to those of a deputy director of the Clearing Bureau. The more the Fish Division searches for her, the deeper she hides. Although we can’t find her, neither can the Fish Division.”

None of the content within 69shu exists!

“This hardly counts as good news.”

Upon hearing this, Bai She furrowed her brow and reminded her:

“Even if the Clearing Bureau can’t locate her, as long as she remains alive, she can maintain the strength of the Watchtower Palace. Only by killing her outright can our plan be considered successful!”

“Don’t worry; there will be opportunities.”

In response to Bai She’s reminder, the woman wearing the Black Cat mask paused momentarily before answering calmly:

“Recently, someone in my Yarn Ball Society received an audience with the Great Mage King. She’s already 138 years old, and her condition has deteriorated significantly compared to previous years. It seems like she’ll pass away within a year or two at most.

At such a time, regardless of how patient the hidden princess might be, as the sole daughter of the Great Mage King, she will undoubtedly try to return to see her mother one last time. As long as my people continue waiting inside the Deity Palace, we will surely have a chance to catch her trail!”

“Alright, if you’re confident, that’s fine.”

Satisfied with Hei Mao’s answer, Bai She nodded slightly before glancing toward the empty seat opposite her, where a Fox Flower Mask lay, and asked:

“Where’s Huahulu? What’s the status of Aquarius Director’s preparations? Does anyone know?”

“His progress… should be going well?”

Upon hearing Bai She’s question, the Dawkya facing Hei Mao hesitated for a moment before replying uncertainly:

“After Leon took the airship and left, he immediately returned to the Capital City and prepared quite a few things, seemingly targeting the woman from the Virgo Subdivision. According to the Aquarius Director, he has already found a way to deal with the Virgo Subdivision, and everything is awaiting Leon’s return.”
