“Yumi.” Susan was also a little embarrassed when she saw the messy room. Then, she bit her lips and said softly, “Don’t get me wrong. I’m not here to ridicule you.”
Susan approached her slowly and continued to say, “As a woman, I can understand your pain. If I’m not wrong, you must want to kill Donoghue now, right?”
Yumi looked up coldly and asked, “What the hell are you trying to say?”
Susan smiled and said, “If you want to kill Donoghue, I can help you with that.”
Susan was trapped. She knew that she would never be able to escape on her own, so she was there to persuade Yumi.
‘What?’
Yumi was taken aback. Then, she laughed and mocked Susan. “Did you just offer to help me? You can’t even help yourself; why do you think you can help me? And why should I trust you?”
Susan was Darryl’s godmother. Yumi had framed Darryl several times, so she wondered why Susan would offer to help her.
No one in their right mind would believe that.
“Because, like you, I really want to kill him too.” Susan breathed a long sigh. Her beautiful face looked resentful. “Donoghue killed my husband. So I need to vent my hatred and kill him.”
Susan was in a rage when she brought up Zoran’s tragic death; she trembled in anger.
Yumixiu frowned, but she was still suspicious. “Even if you are serious about that, do you think the two of us—two weak women—will be able to do anything to Donoghue?”
Susan smiled, but she did not answer immediately. She raised her hand and removed a hairpin from her head.
Then, she handed the hairpin to Yumi and said, “This is called the Blood Feather. It looks like a hairpin, but it is a very powerful secret weapon from the Tucker Cult.”
Susan was right.
The hairpin was from the Tucker Cult, indeed. When Susan married Zoran, many cultivators attended their wedding to congratulate the couple. The Tucker Cult’s Cult Master brought that hairpin as his gift.
“You don’t have to worry about this.” Susan smiled and comforted her. “Westrington is different from the other continents. Someone strong would rise and be the new Emperor. A few days ago, Donoghue killed the former Westrington Emperor in front of the civil and military officials, but no one dared to stand up and rebuke his action.”
“So, after we killed Donoghue, I’m sure that someone in the court would grab the opportunity to be the new Emperor. No one would care how he died!
“Furthermore, after Donoghue’s death, the new Emperor would be grateful for our help. He would never have been able to ascend the throne had we not killed Donoghue. What do you think?”
Yumi nodded her head repeatedly. Susan’s words had dispelled the worries in her heart.
After Susan and Yumi arrived at a consensus, they returned to their rooms.
The day passed by very quickly.
When it got dark, Yumi went to the kitchen and cooked some dishes to go with the wine.
