Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton Chapter 1345 - 1345 906 Even the Best Plan Cant Beat Luck
Chapter 1345: Chapter 906: Even the Best Plan Can’t Beat Luck Chapter 1345: Chapter 906: Even the Best Plan Can’t Beat Luck Tyrone and Brooks were undoubtedly powerful enough to stand on their own, and Anthony felt very comfortable delegating tasks to them, and they quickly started pulling together their own teams.
Lisa was in charge of logistics and internal affairs, while Feilin managed external affairs and operations, and Anthony was responsible for deceiving.
The re fact that Lisa and Feilin had regained their youth caused a sensation within the Goddess of Beauty Association, and everyone privy to this miracle was shocked. When Anthony gathered those Lisa trusted and had her perform the miracle again, they imdiately gained a host of fervent followers.
Err, followers of the Goddess of Beauty.
But it didn’t matter anyway, since the Goddess of Beauty was also one of Ange’s incarnations.
Following this line of thought, Anthony had Lisa select so aged won whose beauty had faded. The custor list accumulated by the Goddess of Beauty Association over the years was very valuable, containing beauticians from all the major forces, lovers of kings, lovers of pri ministers, lovers of nobles…
“Why are they all lovers?” Lisa couldn’t help but complain as she looked over the list.
“Wives are of no value, err, I should say the wives of prominent families already have valuable status, it’s better to win them over directly. You’re not skilled at this, it’s a pity Patricia isn’t around, it would be more convenient with her,” Anthony regretfully said.
Lisa argued, feeling indignant: “Why am I not skilled? I’ve seen many won in the Goddess of Beauty City, what secrets haven’t I heard? What’s so inconvenient?”
Anthony smiled slightly: “Finding them male consorts, painting nude portraits for them, giving them… and then blackmailing them with that leverage, are you convenient with that?” As he spoke the words after the ellipses, Anthony’s voice grew softer, barely audible to Lisa.
Lisa’s face flushed red with embarrassnt: “Inconvenient, inconvenient, go find Patricia for that, that’s just too despicable.”
Anthony spread his hands: “The struggle between ecclesiastical and royal power, or rather, the struggle for power itself, is inherently despicable. Sotis it even costs lives. How can you ensure that others will pledge their allegiance to you without absolute control?”
“But… but…” Lisa’s principles were greatly shaken. She thought hearing those embarrassingly intimate secrets in the Goddess of Beauty City was already pushing the bounds of decency, but a few casual remarks from Anthony made her feel too naive.
“Thank the Lord, because the Lord is omnipotent, those despicable thods aren’t even necessary anymore. I miss Patricia because she was easier to command,” Anthony said with a smile.
Lisa was still troubled: “You are the Pope, such things should be avoided in the future. If exposed, it could ruin these people’s lives.”
Anthony shook his head with a smile: “It’s precisely because I am the Pope that so things must be done. If my plans fail, tens of thousands might die. How could I possibly risk so many lives for the sake of a few people’s honour?”
At this point, Anthony changed the subject: “Of course, we don’t need to engage in such things now, but I still need so people to do the dirty work. We can’t have you all be the ones to carry out assassinations, can we?”
Lisa was taken aback. Right, each of Anthony’s past endeavors was fraught with danger. Just the Schism Church alone was enough to land many on the Fire Execution Fra. If he didn’t have absolute control, how could the nobility possibly obey?
If Anthony were to fail, the entire Eastern Diocese might endure a massive purge. Tens of thousands was a conservative estimate; if order collapsed, the death toll could skyrocket to hundreds of thousands, even millions. How could they risk sothing far greater for the reputation of a few noblewon?
The only reason Anthony didn’t resort to such tactics was that he had better thods, such as Ange’s support.
Before, she had been shielded from these dark and despicable matters, thanks to Anthony’s protection.
With this in mind, Lisa let go of her hesitations and quickly changed the subject: “Right, Tyrone and Brooks sent a ssage back. They’ve arrived at the specified location but couldn’t find anyone fitting the description. It seems that they left a few days ago.”
“That’s a coincidence? Then forget it, move on to the next one. We can take our ti to search when we have more ti,” Anthony said.
Just then, a maid hurried in and handed Lisa so notes.
Lisa glanced at them and frowned, “What’s going on? No one found again? And the ones that left a few days ago?”
Anthony took the notes and frowned as well, “The ones that left a few days ago? It can’t be such a coincidence. Soone is targeting the sa people as us, how is that possible?”
“How is that possible? We’re looking for rebirth companions, who could be targeting them? They don’t have a list, how would anyone know who has been reborn?” Lisa asked perplexedly.
Anthony’s expression beca grave, “The only possibility is that there is a traitor among us, but how could that be? The Lord is watching, who would dare to betray us?”
If there really was a traitor, then the range of suspects was small. The only ones who knew the list were Lisa, Feilin, Tyrone, and Brooks. How could any of them betray the Lord?
Could it be that soone carelessly let the list be seen by others?
But the so-called list wasn’t a specific list of nas, but a psychological profile created by Anthony based on everyone’s behavior, suggesting their possible occupations, likely locations they resided in, and then searching for corresponding individuals. If they were reborn, their mories would be restored.
Who could be so capable to find people from a list based on so psychological profiles?
At a loss, Anthony couldn’t sit still anymore and quickly said, “Speed up the search, we need to find everyone before these people do.”
Right at that mont, a wave of spatial fluctuation rippled through the room.
“Teleportation? An assassin, Lord, help !” Anthony imdiately shielded Lisa, calling out without a second thought.
Ange arrived upon him, and as he prepared to strike down the intruder, a huge ball of fur suddenly appeared in the room.
Anthony and Lisa both frowned at the sight, why did this furball seem so familiar?
A head peeked out from the furball, staring at Anthony in surprise and then brightening upon seeing Lisa behind him, “Lady Lisa!?”
Then imdiately retreated, “Found her, found her, it really is Lady Lisa.”
Anthony asked with a frown, “Hiludi?”
As Hiludi erged from the tangled ss, she examined Anthony several tis, “Lord Anthony? You’re Lord Anthony? You’ve gotten so much younger, I almost didn’t recognize you.”
“Is the Death God’s Staff here? Then did he find Lisa first?” Negris, Little Bone, Emil stepped out one after another.
Following them, Shamara walked out, and seeing her, Anthony suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Then Patricia, Auburnli, Purple Corpse, Xi, Diyali, Gonia, Lucidia… one by one, people familiar to Anthony erged from the furball, quickly filling up the room.
Anthony asked with a dry throat, “How many people have you found?”
Negris proudly said, “A few hundred, I guess. It was too easy, ran into acquaintances everywhere.” However, his proudly raised tail revealed his smug mood.
“…It seems no matter how good the plan, it can’t beat good luck. I should have been the first to find Shamara.”
