Cersei smiled shyly.
Compared to the aches she was feeling all over her body, that tiny bit of pain was nothing to her.
Of course, she wasn't in distress; only sweetness and happiness were felt.
“No, it doesn't hurt. I understand that you're so emotional because you're eager to repay Mr. Yablon for saving your life. Don't worry, Artemis. I will help you rescue the girl that Mr. Yablon cherishes. This way, you can repay this favor.”
The suicide attacker turned over and kissed her.
Outside the courtyard, after hearing Artemis' plan, Bailey couldn't help but give him a big thumbs up.
People often say that women can be devious, but who would have thought that he, a grown man, could be this cunning?
Artemis narrowed his eyes at her, furrowing his brows as he asked, “What's with that look in your eyes? Are you looking down on me?”
“No, no, no.” Jiang Jiu quickly grabbed his arm, chuckling awkwardly. “I think you've done a great job. That's exactly how such women should be dealt with.”
Artemis let out a cold huff, gripping her waist tightly. He leaned in close to her ear and whispered, “I can do even better, like... being rough with you.”
The expression on Bailey's face froze.
This d*mn man.
“Master, I have completed the task.”
The voice of the suicide attacker echoed from behind.
Artemis instinctively turned his head to look. Seeing that the other person was still using the hyper-realistic mask and his sexual energy hadn't dissipated, Artemis couldn't help but furrow his brows.
The mere thought of this guy using my face to... makes me feel nauseous. It feels as if I've been violated.
“Remove the mask from your face for me.”
The suicide attacker dared not delay. He took a bottle of potion and sprinkled it on his face, then slowly removed the hyper-realistic mask from his face.
“Master, everything is arranged properly. Please call Old Mr. White and let him set up the trap directly. Once everything is in place, that woman will call Kurt to lure him into it. Also, she has agreed to make a trip to the castle to disable the self-destruction mechanism inside. Once that's done, you can lead your assassins in to rescue the hostage.”
Artemis gave a light hum of approval, a hint of praise flashing across his face. “You've done well. Once this is over, I'll have Micah arrange a position for you as an instructor.”
“Noted.”
After the loyal suicide attacker left, Bailey and Artemis exchanged glances, seeing the light of joy in each other's eyes.
Everything is about to come to an end.
The following day, at the crack of dawn.
The sky was beginning to brighten.
Kurt received a phone call from Cersei.
“Kurt, everything is ready on my end. There's a dense forest to the southeast of the Venom Valley, where numerous traps were originally installed. Now, I've temporarily deactivated them all. I'll send you a map later. Follow it closely and make sure not to take the wrong path or fall into any other traps. As for what you should do after entering the Venom Valley, that's not something I can influence. I presume you already have a plan in mind. Kurt, you must be careful. I'm counting on you for my future. If anything happens to you, I'm done for.”
Kurt believed her words without a doubt.
Because, as she said, she would have to rely on him in the future. If anything were to happen to him, she would be done for as well.
“Very well, you've done a great job. Meet me in the Venom Valley. The matters inside have already been arranged by someone. As soon as I step in, they will immediately start causing trouble.”
“Mm-hmm.”
After ending the call, Kurt stood up and walked out of the study. As he walked, he said to the few strategists around him, “Launch a full-scale attack. Today, we will decide the outcome. Remember, if we win, the world is our oyster. If we lose, the consequences will be dire. So, we must give it our all.”
One of the strategists hesitated for a moment, then ventured to say, “Mr. Kurt, things are progressing too smoothly. Be careful of—”
Before he could finish, Kurt immediately waved his hand to interrupt him, “No negativity, no lowering of morale. Just do your job and don't interfere with my decision-making.”
Upon seeing the man's refusal to heed his advice, the middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
