Chapter 736 Practising Cooking for Emma
“It’s the formula to make Vampire Dust and its antidote
Waylon recounted, “He lured me away before I could destroy it. I quickly realized that something was wrong, and I doubled back. When I got there, I saw him taking pictures of my things.”
“Waylon, did you get a good look at the owner of the Imperial Palace?” Benjamin asked, “What does he look like?”
“He was wearing a half mask, so I couldn’t see what he looked like,” Waylon replied.
Abel said, “If that’s the case, it must be him. When Emma was last at the Imperial Palace, she too was given Vampire Dust. She mentioned that the owner was masked, so she didn’t get a look at his face.”
Benjamin commented, “He’s quite the cunning fox. Let’s see if we can catch him this time.”
Waylon proposed, “Let’s discuss our next steps. To prevent any negative repercussions for both of you, why don’t I bring in some mercenaries from Osea? That way, you won’t have to do it yourselves and risk implicating yourselves. With my mercenaries, there will be no way to trace any of this back to you.”
“That’s a valid point,” Benjamin conceded. “Adelmar and Ryker Group are the leading figures in Struyria with significant social influence. If they were caught engaging in illegal activities, it would certainly lead to
trouble.”
Abel suggested, “In that case, let’s proceed with Waylon’s plan. We’ll handle the operation behind the
scenes.”
Benjamin suddenly thought of something and asked, “Should we bring this matter to Inspector Charles‘
attention?”
After some thought, Abel said, “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
Benjamin said, “Why not? If we inform him, Inspector Charles could take action if something significant happens.”
“I’m afraid it might backfire,” Abel expressed concern. We don’t know if an Imperial Palace Inspector Charles‘ ranks.”

What Abel just said was enough to alert Benjamin. He nodded and said, “You are right. The Imperial Palace has all–pervasive influence and power.”
Waylon said, “Then, we’ll just keep Inspector Charles out of this. Things will become even more complicated if news gets out and they decide to transfer Emma to another location”
Abel replied, “Okay. We’ll follow Waylon’s plan.”
“Very well,” nodded Waylon. “I’ll inform my people in Osea to prepare the necessary manpower and weapons.”
When Waylon was on the phone, Abel asked Benjamin, Janie is back. How is she?”
Benjamin replied with a bitter tone, “She’s fine. She’s currently living with me at Glenbrook.”
