'Haha, Lyla, you said you would never co here, even if your hubby is dead. Then how co you are here to save him?' Irene thought, laughing inwardly as she watched Lyla in disguise walking around.
Just an hour ago, Lyla threatened to talk about these ssages to Inquisitor Lucius, but in the end, she ca here, knowing Irene might really do as she says because she knew about her family rules and was close to her.
Lyla still doubted whether she would kill him or not, but even if she didn't, no one would escape unscathed from Irene, so she has no choice but to co here. If not, soone might end up badly because of her mistake.
Li Wei, who didn't know all of this, felt weird, but he failed to pinpoint anything, as the thought of Lyla coming to save him never crossed his mind.
"Miss Irene, when are we going to kidnap her and how?" Li Wei inquired as they were both hiding in an abandoned house, watching Lyla who was looking around with anxious eyes.
The area they were in was where the low-level houses were built at the start of the city. There were still plans to renovate them into high-level houses, but the funds needed were massive, so it remained abandoned like this.
Not to ntion, in this world, people didn't lack money when it ca to such miscellaneous things, so no one cared about the low-level houses and lived in higher-level ones, making this place abandoned.
This place looked like just the right one to commit cris; however, it was the opposite here, as the guards were patrolling every hour, not to ntion Lucius was also keeping his eye on every suspicious thing in the city.
So, Li Wei still doubted whether their plan to kidnap her would succeed or not.
"Li Wei! I told you we are not kidnapping soone but ca here to pick up. Also, you are not allowed to say anything from now on; just follow silently and let handle everything," Irene stated with irritation.
Was she a bad girl who would kidnap soone for fun? Of course not, she was just here to pick up her best friend and nothing else.
'Humph, bad Li Wei. I am not a bad girl,' she complained inwardly with a snort as she observed Lyla, who was walking around as she instructed in the ssages.
Li Wei was a little puzzled at why she was only observing, but he didn't say anything.
For him, raising the strength of everyone was important, and striking a deal with Irene was a lot safer than trying to find a rare class in so dangerous places.
Not to ntion, he has Astral Vision, which could work similarly to Irene's Spirit Vision, so he only needed the skill of the Shadowcaster class that was now coming to his doorstep. Because of this, he agreed to the plan, even though he knew it might be troubleso.
So, he just waited silently as Irene said, while also keeping an eye on his villa with the help of his clone to make sure no nobles would co to cause trouble while he is away.
Thinking of the nobles, he shifted his gaze towards Irene with a deep look.
'This city must be under the power of the church or soone from it. If not, she wouldn't be able to do whatever she wanted, and the sa goes for that old foggy Lucius who is scamming a weak person like ,' he muttered inwardly as he pondered about the social hierarchy of the kingdom.
When suddenly his attention was attracted by Irene, who took out a small mana crystal that was engraved with runes. But before he could think what it was for, she directly crushed it.
Nothing seed to happen when she did, but after just a few seconds, a terrifying sonic boom echoed from the centre of the city, making Li Wei shocked.
He beca even more shocked when he discovered that no one in the city heard it and no explosion happened anywhere.
"Li Wei, this sonic boom can only be heard by level 100 or higher levels. That's why no one in the city heard it. Also, because this sonic boom explosion is unharmful, it is not easy to detect, and it's a great way to distract Uncle Lucius," Irene explained with a smirk, making Li Wei speechless.
"Miss Irene, you placed these explosions when you ca to the city, right?" he inquired because there was no ti for her to do this now, which ant she must have done it before running away.
Hearing this, Irene just smiled and didn't bother to explain because he was right. She has done this to make her escape plan more foolproof, placing these unharmful explosives in her room.
So even if Lyla and others know it might be a trap, they have to check it personally, even if they know Irene isn't there.
The sa was happening now as Lucius went to check on her room with unwillingness.
While Lyla, who also heard the sound, showed a troubled expression and took out her communication tool to ask Lucius if everything was alright.
In response, Lucius just said to continue to search for Priestess Irene while he would get rid of these explosives planted in the villa.
Everything was going just as Irene planned. Even if it wasn't, the explosions would happen automatically at certain intervals once triggered, so she didn't worry too much and waited until she confird Lucius wasn't watching them.
"Li Wei, it's ti. Just follow silently," Irene instructed with a serious expression as she watched Lyla walking away just as she desired in her plan.
Li Wei didn't care too much and followed her to a nearby inn where Irene entered without hesitation and brought him into a private room she has booked.
Li Wei was puzzled, but he didn't say anything as Irene was busy instructing Lyla through the communication tool with a serious look.
When suddenly, she turned towards him.
"Li Wei, in a mont, Lyla will be coming, and all you have to do is just interact with her a little, while I do my work. Also, pretend you don't know ," Irene stated, and before Li Wei could say sothing, she directly entered the bathroom to hide, making him speechless.
'It feels like she is going to do sothing troubleso,' Li Wei thought with a sigh as he waited for Lyla while thinking about what to talk with her.
He didn't wait too long, and in a minute, the door of the room opened as a figure of a young woman walked inside.
It was none other than Lyla who was looking at Li Wei after shutting the door.
Only after seeing him unhard, did she heave a sigh of relief and turn towards the bathroom.
"Priestess Irene, please stop hiding. I know you are there," Lyla stated because it was the only place to hide inside this room.
Hearing this, Irene, who was hiding in the bathroom, snorted and walked out with a cute pout.
"Lyla, I was going to give you a surprise. You can't just expose like that," she complained with a cheeky tone.
Watching her like this, Irene beca irritated.
"Priestess Irene, why are you doing this? Don't you know it's a cri to threaten people's lives?" she asked with anger.
"Ah, Lyla, why are you angry at your cute priestess? Don't tell you have forgotten about after getting a future husband," Irene asked, pointing at Li Wei, whose mouth was twitching after understanding her plan.
But he didn't say anything as he needed to learn the skill of Lyla so he could make Li Xin and others stronger.
As he thought of this, he looked at Irene, wondering how she was going to kidnap her, but he beca dumbfounded by her next words.
"Lyla, I am bored of running away alone. Why don't you join ? It will be a lot of fun," Irene suggested as if it was sothing normal.
While Lyla sighed deeply after hearing her.
"Priestess Irene, do you know what you are asking? I will recomnd you to go back imdiately, because your father is anxious and will co here personally if you don't," she stated, making Irene's expression a little stiff, but she didn't care.
"Humph, so what? Let him co. Anyway, I am not afraid of him. Also, Lyla, don't think your location artifact will work here, so forget about those little tricks," Irene replied with a scoff as she saw Lyla pouring MP into the ring secretly.
Because Irene has spirit eyes, Lyla knew if she kept it activated from before, Irene would definitely not et her. So, she waited for the chance, only to fail because Irene was prepared for this with her secret tool that can block any type of communication.
It's just that this tool was separated into lots of parts in her personal items with secrecy. Because of this, Lyla didn't know that she has a tool like this and thought it might work. But her plans failed.
Lyla still has other ways, but they wouldn't work in front of Irene who is high level. Not to ntion, there is another man hiding sowhere who helped her run away that day, and if she did sothing, Li Wei would beco a hostage.
So, she couldn't do anything and could only wait for Inquisitor Lucius to discover sothing wrong with her and co here as soon as possible.
However, it was useless as he was busy finding the explosives that Irene put in troubleso places, making him fu with anger.
"Just where did this girl get these things? Is soone helping her secretly?" Lucius muttered with irritation as Irene always found new things to make trouble for him.
