Chapter 71 The Fruit of Greed (4)

When Makisuke woke up from his coma, he still saw darkness. He rubbed his eyes with great effort.

He tried to create some light, but failed as expected. Makisuke sighed in worry. The key point was that he was arrested without even knowing the purpose of the church. He

was afraid of implicating the organization, so he had to find a way to leave.

Makisuke groped and touched the cold wire of the cage. He stood up, but then he realized the heaviness at his feet. He touched the handcuffs, and suddenly he remembered something, the auction.

...If this is really the case, it will be a big trouble.

"Ah, you're awake."

The dark curtain was lifted, and the white light suddenly filled the field of vision, stimulating people to be unable to open their eyes. When he came to his senses, the nun had already opened the cage door and placed the lunch box not far away.

"Wait!"

The young man hurriedly spoke before the curtain was pulled up again, and then realized that his tone was too urgent. He adjusted his tone and asked: "I'm thirsty, can you give me some water?"

The nun looked at him, left and came back with a bottle of water not long after, and she opened the door again, as if she was not worried that he would take the opportunity to slip away. Makisuke suddenly reached out to grab the person and took out the key, but a look from the opposite side easily froze his action.

"The church won't hurt you, so just stay here."

With his abilities restricted, Makisuke was completely unable to resist. After the nun left, he lowered the curtain again, and his vision sank into darkness again. Only then did he regain control of his body.

He couldn't find a way to escape from the dangerous situation, and it seemed that he could only wait.

He waited for a long time, so long that he couldn't tell whether it was day or night. He didn't expect that the voice he heard again was not the nun's, but a very familiar call from his companion.

"Makisuke! Are you here?"

"I'm here!"

The young man responded in a low voice. The next second, the curtain was torn open, and he raised his hand to block the overly dazzling light. After adapting, he lowered his arm and showed a surprised expression after seeing his friend's face clearly.

You Bai opened the cage door and stepped in. Then she tried to unlock his shackles. After several attempts, she failed. She was in a dilemma. "The structure of this lock is very strange. It can't be unlocked. The guards will be back soon. Let's go first."

Suo Du directly cut the chain by force and planned to go back through the hidden path with his men. You Bai stopped him in time. "Change the way. There are people patrolling over there."

She pointed in another direction. Using abilities over a large area will easily be discovered. It is best to get outside as soon as possible and then teleport back.

There were no dangers along the way. Several times they thought they would be discovered by the guards and were prepared to deal with it. As a result, when they looked again, the patrol personnel had disappeared.

You Bai's eyes turned slightly, she saw the shadows changing in the corner of the wall, seemed to understand something, and suddenly felt relieved. She opened a space crack for transmission.

"You guys go first."

You Bai turned around. She felt that she was still here, so she asked tentatively: "Is it the teacher who is helping us?"

The familiar dark gray curly hair came into view, and the young woman slowly walked out of the obstructed shadow. She looked back at You Bai's pursuing gaze, and seemed to smile softly, "How did you know?"

"Sister didn't really want to hide it." You Bai was a little helpless, but still answered her seriously, "I just had a vague feeling at first."

"Someone told me about clearing the cabin when I was in the execution building before. I think it should be your instruction."

"Except for sister, in the imperial capital, I can't think of anyone else who would disregard the danger to help."

It's just that I didn't expect that Iron Line Lian was also you. You Bai thought about it, and finally swallowed the words back into his throat.

"Go back." Eleanor touched You Bai's head subconsciously, and then remembered that she had grown up a lot now and might not like such intimate actions anymore, so she quickly withdrew her hand and showed a soothing smile, "I'll take care of the rest."

You Bai looked at her with some worry, "How can I know when my sister will come back?"

"Don't worry."

Eleanor couldn't give her a definite answer, and could only tell her softly: "No matter what, I will be by your side."

She was completely relieved after sending You Bai away. Eleanor restored the scene to its original state. She walked towards the cage where Mu Jie was originally imprisoned alone, transformed into a figure identical to the young man, and then pulled down the curtain.

But she still had to go to the auction, after all, she was happy to watch a joke.

That night, Eleanor came to the entrance, and handed out the invitation letter with ease, while not forgetting to use her supernatural power to blur the recognition of others. She put on the black mask required by the church, and the luxurious auction venue was reflected in her pupils.

She walked to the arranged position according to the sequence on the card, lowered her eyes and opened the terminal lazily, looking extremely bored, but her consciousness had already sunk into the private box set up upstairs.

The executive officer of the Yongtian District was also very interested in this auction, and she read the auction brochure with detailed introductions.

"That's all?" Watchman casually closed the booklet, his cold eyes filled with dissatisfaction and ridicule, "The activities prepared by the church are really getting worse year by year."

"If you are not interested, you can look forward to our flagship item, but it cannot be revealed for the time being."

The man smiled unchanged, obviously already looking forward to the final loss of control of this distinguished figure, "The bishop specifically asked me to remind you to pay attention, you will definitely like this item."

Unfortunately, the item was gone. Watchman was also looking forward to this. Baskent released the news to Wang Chu in advance, but the item was replaced. How could he bear the anger of that person?

She was particularly serious in simulating a nearly perfect aura for the fake item. Not to mention him, Wang Chu himself might not be able to react all of a sudden.

With less than two years left until the official succession ceremony, Wang Chu will not tolerate any accidents.

Who is not aware of the ruthless methods of this prince and how he took great pains to seize power? At this sensitive stage, the executive officer of Zhuwang released the news that a lost member of the royal family would be presented to him as an auction item, but it turned out to be a scam.

Will such behavior be considered suspicion, deliberate deception, or provocation?

The auction items were displayed one by one, and the cheering voices and the final sound hit the eardrums until the last auction item was pushed onto the stage, and the restlessness gradually calmed down. The cage was as tall as an adult, and people looked at each other tacitly.

The night watchman put his hand on the corner of his lips, just enough to cover up his uncontrollable smile of excitement. Her eyes followed the auctioneer's movements.

He pulled open the curtain.

A blank.

Eleanor in the audience finally laughed happily. The auctioneer's momentary panic was clearly seen. She left before the auctioneer attributed it to personnel error. She appeared in Wang Chu's private room again. The gray-haired woman raised her eyes to meet the dark muzzle of the gun.

"Do you believe what the church says is true?" Eleanor raised her hand to turn away the gun pointed at her forehead. "I'm sorry, my appearance may be too presumptuous, and it's normal for you to be on guard."

"But I really can't bear to see you being deceived by the church. Look, those people can't come up with anything in the end."

The elegant Wang Chu looked at her coldly. He should have remembered who she was. After all, a lot of the storms in the past few days reached his ears. His attitude remained unchanged.

"I have no reason to believe you." The unattainable Wang Chu just said this.

"Even if I have what you want, will you refuse?" Eleanor looked away and looked at another figure in the room. She smiled, "I have no intention of harming His Highness. There is no need for the Chief to stay here."

Guiyi's symbolic questioning gaze fell on Wang Chu, who froze. He pretended to be calm and waved his hand to let him go.

"If the bishop comes to apologize to you later and it is their negligence that caused the auction item to be robbed, then do you believe that the so-called auction item is just a cover."

Eleanor did not hesitate. She finished her words slowly and added, "Because he is in my hands."

Wang Chu finally looked at her, but he did not say whether he believed her words, "That also needs to wait for the bishop's explanation."

Of course, Eleanor would not say anything because of this.

Not long after, the church sent someone to explain, and the words were almost the same as what Eleanor said, and the missing items were replaced by the institute's high-priced experiments. Wang Chu's face darkened.

He didn't need to think too much about the relationship between the Federal Research Institute and Bishop Denis to understand that the leaked news was just to build momentum for the institute's new experiments. The

Denis family was taking him less and less seriously.

Eleanor saw Wang Chu's face change and knew that her goal was almost achieved.

The Denis family might not have an easy time in the future.

"Are you really going to hand Makisuke over to him?"

The observer asked impatiently as soon as Eleanor left, and almost conjured up a substitute to block her. "No! Don't be impulsive! Makisuke will be finished if he is caught!"

"...Who said I was going to hand Makisuke over."

"Didn't you just say that?"

"Oh, I lied to him."

The observer: "..."

Who are you lying to!

"Do you think I don't know who Makisuke is?" Eleanor sighed. After she took office as the executive officer, she heard that the current heir to the throne was replaced a few years ago.

The eldest son in the first line of succession disappeared for no reason, and the other princes were either abolished or incompetent. In the end, this position naturally fell to that person.

No one dared to point out the instigator, fearing that they would be the next to be affected. He

suddenly appeared in the 15th district and was hunted down. What other identity could he have except the eldest son who was rumored to be missing?

"The original heir is the same age as Wang Chu, and Wang Chu is a sophomore this year like Mu Jie."

The age also matches.

"But what about Makisuke's awakening?" Eleanor thought this was really strange, "Could it be...?"

"Stop! This has nothing to do with me!"

The observer guessed what she was going to say and hurried to distance himself from it. He said in a panic: "It really wasn't me!"

"I didn't say it was you."

Eleanor was a little amused by his confused words. After weighing it, she still avoided the topic. She wanted to know the answer to another thing: "I never noticed before that the royal family's ability can also hurt the weird, and it is the origin."

"But their ability should only be aimed at pollution."

"The new chapter of the comic gave me another idea. Weird is equivalent to pollution?"

Eleanor showed a fairly friendly smile, "I hope you can solve my doubts."
