The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5608

Ruby’s mood became exceptionally disheartened upon hearing the British Lord’s words.

Indeed, it was just as she had speculated. The British Lord had a constant hold on the location information of the several great earls. What was even more frightening was that the British Lord could analyze everyone's every movement in great detail based on time, location, and the information available on the local internet.

This meant that in her lifetime, she might never be able to escape the British Lord’s control.

Despite the great earls being able to execute missions for extended periods without reporting back, they still had the poison configured by the British Lord in their bodies.

However, individuals such as them had longer lifespans, so the British Lord set a relatively broad time frame for them to take the antidote. While others had to take the antidote every two weeks, three months, or half a year, the great earls only had to take the antidote once every three years.

But what difference could three years make? If they were all kites controlled by the British Lord, the great earls were just kites with longer strings but were still unable to break free from the British Lord’s control.

In addition to feeling disheartened, she also analyzed the key points the British Lord had mentioned. It was indeed strange for Mr. Chardon to go to the mountain after leaving Antique Street, and it was even more incredible that an unprecedented thunderstorm suddenly occurred where he had been.

By combining these points and analyzing them, she could guess the general outline of the situation. Mr. Chardon had most likely obtained an offensive magic instrument, and this magic instrument could even summon heavenly thunder.

However, Mr. Chardon had conveniently left out the part about obtaining an offensive magic instrument when reporting to the British Lord. No wonder the British Lord suspected him of having ulterior motives. Mr. Chardon believed that presenting a passive magic instrument would earn him the British Lord’s trust, but he did not anticipate that the British Lord could detect his lie through various clues even across great distances.

With that thought in mind, Ruby asked the British Lord, “British Lord, I’m not as strong as Mr. Chardon is. How should I explain things to him if he discovers me?”

The British Lord said indifferently, “That won't happen. I will later teach you a mantra technique for hiding Reiki and cultivation. With this technique and considering the slight difference in strength between you and Mr. Chardon, as long as he doesn't see you and you don't use Reiki within his range of a hundred feet, he won't notice you. Besides, I can see his location at all times, so I will share his real-time location to your cell phone. He'll be exposed, and you will be hidden, ensuring that you will definitely not be discovered by him.”

The British Lord nodded and added, “In addition, if Mr. Chardon encounters significant pressure from Oskia after annihilating the Ackers, I will ask him to withdraw from Aurous Hill in a timely manner. You will then stay in Aurous Hill and wait for the appearance of Curtis Wade and Ashley Acker’s son.”

After hanging up the phone, Ruby felt extremely unwilling. Although she was one of the four great earls, she had never liked fighting and killing, let alone being forced by the British Lord to do something unethical.

What she most hoped for was to stay in the Qing Eliminating Society, oblivious to worldly affairs, so that she could focus on her cultivation. Even if she had to come out occasionally to carry out missions for the British Lord, she was more inclined to look for a suitable opportunity to be idle on the job.

For example, when the British Lord asked her to look for Vera in the Far East this time, Ruby did look around for Vera, but she was not that invested in the search and simply wandered around.

Unexpectedly, she had to set out for Aurous Hill with just a phone call from the British Lord.
