Once the envoy entered his private room that seemed empty, he said to himself, “Is there anyone watching?”
After receiving a silent confirmation that it was clear, he gave a nod and a black figure appeared.
This black figure bowed down in front of the envoy and waited for his orders.
The envoy looked at this black figure and asked, “Did you find anything? Are they planning on submitting to his second highness?”
The black figure shook their head, but then they also gave a nod before saying, “We haven’t found any information about them, but we have confirmed that they will submit to the second highness. They have already prepared a large offering to his second highness and as long as we spread the news of this, they have no choice but to fall into our faction.”
The envoy narrowed his eyes to look at the black figure, but seeing the calm look in their eyes, he gave a nod in the end.
This was the most important thing for him since he had been sent here to bring this town into fold.
He had been skeptical about why the second prince had insisted on bringing this town under him, but after seeing the town for himself, he understood why.
The economy of this town was on a completely different level from other towns.
While the scale of the town wasn’t good enough for it to be called a city, the economy was more than enough.
It was all because of that “dungeon” that existed in this town.
He didn’t understand what this dungeon was at first, but the more that he learned about it, the more shocked he was by this thing. Not to mention the amount of items that came out of this “dungeon”.
He had also heard that this dungeon hadn’t been fully explored yet, so there was certainly going to be more items brought out of the dungeon eventually.
This was without a doubt a gold mine.
It was no wonder the second prince was so insistent on having this town.
As long as it kept growing, there was no doubt that this town would become one of the most influential cities in the Mu Empire as long as the “dungeon” didn’t disappear.
Now that he had confirmed that they were willing to fall under the second prince, he couldn’t help revealing a wide smile.
As the one who had brought this town under the second prince, there wouldn’t be a lack of rewards for him.
So it was hard for him to keep his happiness in.
But what no one noticed were the mosquitoes that were on the walls looking at them.
These mosquitoes had strangely bright looks in their eyes…
…
Inside of the secret room, Lin Fan was there with all the girls.
When they heard about the conversation between the envoy and the black figure, they couldn’t help being shocked.
They didn’t know how Lin Fan got his information, but no one doubted him since they already knew that he was someone who had all kinds of strange abilities.
However, other than being surprised that Lin Fan had this information, no one was actually surprised by the contents of this information. This was something that Ming Xin had already predicted, so they were already prepared to deal with this.
Yue Lan had already gathered a group to watch over the envoys and find their spies, but she never expected Lin Fan to find them so much quicker than her.
As for what they were discussing, this had been all set up by them.
The offering was actually a decoy and was a fake.
The real offering that they had prepared was for the fourth prince and would be given to the Mercenary Guild to hand over to the fourth prince.
This would also allow the Mercenary Guild to receive rewards from the fourth prince for bringing their town under him, so it would also build stronger relations with the Mercenary Guild.
It had already shown when Tian Xue and Tian Tian received rewards from the Mercenary Guild for this matter.
The Mercenary Guild higher ups had been surprised by this sudden proposal from Tian Xue and Tian Tian, but they chose to accept it in the end after considering it. After all, there was nothing to gain from not accepting this free gift given to them.
Yue Lan couldn’t help asking Lin Fan, “Do you know where their spies are heading? I’ll send my people there right away to watch over them.”
Lin Fan nodded before shaking his head and saying, “There’s no need, I’m already tailing them. I’m following the one that met with the envoy back to their headquarters and then I’ll send a tail to follow the ones that are hiding out in the headquarters. As long as they don’t leave this town, I’ll be able to trail them.”
Lin Fan was confident in this since as long as they were here, they would be in the range of Greeny’s spiritual senses.
Greeny had improved its abilities a lot during this time and it was now at the level where it could cover the entire town with its spiritual sense even without the antenna seeds.
Lin Fan was hoping that one day Greeny would be able to cover the entire country with its spiritual sense so he could be safe from everything, but of course that was a far off dream right now.
After a pause, Lin Fan added, “If they do leave the town, I’ll need you to send some people to tail them for me. So please have people on standby ready to go at any time.”
Yue Lan looked at Lin Fan with a strange look hearing this, but she still gave a nod in the end.
With this settled, there wasn’t anything else left for them to discuss.
However, before they could leave, there was someone that suddenly ran into the room in a panic.
It was one of Yue Lan’s subordinates.
Yue Lan knitted her brows when she saw this.
She had given clear instructions that unless it was an absolute emergency, they weren’t to be disturbed.
But as she was about to scold this person who ran in, that person said in a panicked voice, “Boss, young master, there’s another group that has been spotted near the town and they seem to be…from the crown prince’s faction.”𝐎𝑣𝐞𝓵xt.𝓬𝗈𝐌
Yue Lan’s mouth froze before opening wide in shock along with her eyes.
To the side, all of the other girls and Lin Fan all revealed the same look of shock on their faces.
There was also disbelief in their eyes as if they couldn’t believe what they had just heard.
The crown prince had sent someone to their town while someone under the second prince was here to promote this town to a city, just what was he thinking?
This was a clear act of aggression…
Was he trying to start a war in their town?
This was something that no one had expected at all, even Ming Xin was visibly shocked and confused by this.
After a long period of silence, the subordinate asked, “What should we do?”
Everyone looked at Yue Lan, but she turned to look at Ming Xin.
When Ming Xin saw Yue Lan looking at her, she just shook her head to show that she didn’t know what to do either.
Yue Lan deeply knitted her brows when she saw this, as she fell into a period of deep thought.
The subordinate just stood there with an anxious look on her face which placed even more pressure on Yue Lan.
Finally, Yue Lan said with a sigh, “Go and report to the guards at the gate to stall while we figure out what to do.”
The subordinate had a worried look, but she still nodded and headed off.
After a long time, Ming Xin gave a sigh and said, “Unless we know what they want to do, it’s impossible for us to figure out what to do. Even I have too little information since the crown prince in my head isn’t someone as impulsive as this.”
Yue Lan nodded in agreement to this before turning to Lin Fan with a bit of hope in her eyes.
Lin Fan saw this, but he also shook his head, “They’re too far away for me to spy on them and I have no idea where they are right now. I’d have to wait until they were in town, but that would be too late.”
Yue Lan gave another sigh of despair without saying anything else.
They just sat there in silence for a long time, with no one knowing what to say in this situation.
In truth, there was nothing that they could say in this situation…
So after a long period of silence, Yue Lan said, “Everyone get some rest and we’ll deal with this in the morning. Hopefully the guards can stall them long enough for the ceremony to finish.”
Everyone nodded in agreement to this.
If they were able to stall the crown prince group until the ceremony was over, then they wouldn’t be able to cause a fuss since they could separate them from the second prince’s group.
While they knew that it was impossible since the crown prince’s group was clearly here to cause trouble, they still couldn’t do anything else right now since they didn’t know what the crown prince’s subordinates wanted.
They just hoped that tomorrow’s ceremony would go well.
It was just too bad that everyone knew that this wouldn’t happen.
