Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 705

'Huh, that went better than expected,' Kyle thought.

However, Long Transformation's face turned white when she heard the Countess' words.

Kyle didn't notice it since he wasn't very experienced when it came to politics and scheming, but Long Transformation noticed the hidden scheme in the Countess' words.

On the surface, it sounded like she had gracefully accepted her defeat, but that wasn't what she was actually trying to do.

She could have kept her Planet System and Long Transformation, who was a very talented individual, without breaking any rules.

After all, it wasn't her fault that Kyle had rebelled.

Instead, she had given up on the Planet System and the talented Seeker very quickly.

It was almost like she wanted to hand these things to the Array of Stars.

An experienced person who saw this might become suspicious.

There had to be a deeper scheme behind this.

So, they would look at Kyle and Long Transformation.

Did the opponent give up something valuable to gain something even more valuable?

If so, what was the thing that was even more valuable?

A spy, or more precisely, two spies.

What if Kyle were a spy sent by the Contrast Empire?

Assuming he was a spy, Kyle was supposed to stay hidden, but suddenly refusing such an important battle would seem suspicious, which was why he was forced to accept.

As a spy, Kyle wouldn't just keel over and die because his employer told him to do so. No, he would just run with it and give his all in the battle.

If he lost, the Contrast Empire would gain a valuable Planet System.

If he won, he could just give up, which would end in two possible results.

One, the Contrast Empire would accept the draw and keep their Seeker and Planet System.

Two, the Contrast Empire could use Kyle's obvious positive disposition towards Long Transformation to get another spy into the ranks of the Array of Stars.

On the surface, it would seem like Long Transformation had been abandoned, which meant that the Array of Stars could easily recruit her. If they didn't do so, the Array of Stars would most likely anger Kyle.

Sure, he was only a Primal, but he was obviously a very talented one.

With all of these things considered, it would be a safe bet that Long Transformation would be recruited by the Array of Stars.

Naturally, there would be no bad blood between the Contrast Empire and the two Seekers since everything had been planned.

They would still be loyal to the Contrast Empire, but the Array of Stars would believe that they were loyal to them since it looked like Long Transformation had been abandoned.

One Planet System in exchange for strengthening the position of an already existing spy while also inserting a second spy.

Most people wouldn't even notice this hidden scheme, but the Countess knew that the Chief Overseer was smart.

She bet on the fact that he would notice, which would make him suspicious of Kyle.

In that case, he might decide to get rid of Long Transformation while being more careful around Kyle, which would sour their relationship.

In short, the Countess had exchanged a talented Seeker and a Planet System to kill Kyle over the long term.

Long Transformation noticed all of these things.

Kyle didn't.

"Then, I won't stand on ceremony," the Chief Overseer said.

"According to the rules, our Seeker's life is now in your hands," the Countess said.

The Chief Overseer just nodded.

The Countess also nodded and teleported away, but before she left, she sent a quick glance towards Kyle, further casting suspicion on him.

Now, only the Chief Overseer, Long Transformation, and Kyle were left.
