Chapter 1669
"Kill me please..."
Her trembling voice echoed in everyone's ears.
Frey, Kimberly, Raishin, and Yaya were pale while Charlotte looked stunned.
"Henriette."
Sigmund is the first to rebuke her.
"Do you understand the ramifications of your words?!"
Henriette smiled bitterly.
"I am just saying the truth."
"You think you can stop the villain by dying as the bargaining chip?"
Kimberly is angry.
"You don't even know how to value your own life, you fool!"
"—!"
Henriette gnashed her teeth while protesting back despite her meek demeanor.
"Okay, how are we supposed to save Wu Yan then?!"
She's the hostage they used to make Wu Yan go assassinate the principal.
If she died, the problem would be solved.
At least, that's what she thinks.
"Do you think he would be happy to hear this?"
Raishin said.
"He became a wanted criminal for you. Are you going to spit on his effort like that?"
"Wu Yan didn't do it for me."
Henriette shook her head.
"Wu Yan did it for sister."
"So?"
Kimberly laughed.
"You think your death would solve everything? You think your sister would rather you die?"
Henriette couldn't refute it.
"Enough, Henriette."
Charlotte wiped her tears away.
"I will never let you die."
"Sister."
Henriette urged.
"But, Wu Yan."
"I will bring him back."
"Good effort."
Kimberly poured cold water on her.
"You think this would blow over that easily?"
Charlotte, Frey, Raishin, Yaya, and Henriette stiffened up.
"You think the villain is someone simple?"
Kimberly narrowed her eyes.
"Scarlet Eyes would have destroyed the guy if he could."
"You mean..."
Raishin said.
"Is the force behind the villain stronger than Wu Yan?"
"We are talking about someone who Magnus might not even be able to say he could defeat."
Kimberly praised Wu Yan.
"He is someone who can rob the Satan title, a player on another level like Magnus."
Everyone agreed after exchanging a look.
Magnus is already a genius in his own right.
He could fight the Thirteen Rounds by himself with his six automata. Even past Satans wouldn't confidently say they could take him on.
Meanwhile, Wu Yan is someone who shows little of his true abilities. His dolls could also fight Rounds. And, in terms of quantity, he only lost slightly to Magnus.
Plus, Wu Yan's automata had attack, defense, healing, support, and ranged attacks to cover all corners of a team fight.
Magnus' automata that are adept at just attacking might lose in a true fight.
Who could threaten him?
"Who..."
Raishin raised his head.
"No, rather, which faction could threaten him?"
Charlotte and Frey gasped.
"You have a fast brain."
Kimberly nodded.
"Actually, there are rumors that the Kingsford family is trying to talk to the principal in private."
"Kingsford."
Charlotte recalled something.
"Felix's family?!"
"You're saying it might be the Kingsford?"
Raishin looked at Henriette before she hid behind Charlotte.
"Is that possible?"
Kimberly looked around the room.
"Because of Felix, the Kingsford family was hunted down in the courts and in the social spheres by the victims of Felix's crimes. The family has lost favor with the royal court and there are two people responsible for this."
"Wu Yan who defeated and caught Felix."
Raishin analyzed.
"And, the principal who destroyed Felix with his judgment."
"Indeed. If they can get rid of him, the Kingsford could stage a comeback."
Kimberly nodded.
"They can say that the principal was in cahoots with a political rival and slandered them."
"Laughable conjecture."
Raishin retorted.
"I think the people would believe the principal was killed because the Kingsford wanted revenge, right?"
"Oh, the Kingsford have forked tongues."
Kimberly said.
"They do a lot of charity and so they're popular with the laymen. He had fame while in school, they could spin it and come back, don't you think so?"
"Huh..."
Frey said gloomily.
"If Wu Yan killed the principal."
"He will become a scapegoat for them."
Kimberly said.
"They're probably going to say 'he got rid of the principal to tie loose ends' 'He slandered us' and then they can return to the political scene."
Bang
Charlotte was livid.
"I won't let them!"
Charlotte pulled Henriette out of the room.
"Let's go."
Kimberly told Raishin.
"Stop her from doing stupid things."
Frey and Raishin ran after Charlotte.
