Premeditation

Two hours later...

Standing on the balcony, Raymon watched Miss Wendy Landuo, who was wrapped in a thin gauze robe, slowly leaving the castle through the main gate.

Raymon frowned first, thinking that this beautiful and scheming girl actually had her eyes in the castle.

Were those maids?

Or the old butler?

Or the guards or coachmen?

The cool night wind did not take away Raymon's irritability, but made him feel more depressed.

Raymon walked back to the room and sat in the armchair, lit one of his homemade cigars, and the room was soon filled with smoke.

The attentive personal maid Aubrey brought fragrant tea, but she dared not disturb Raymon with his frowning brows.

Raymon looked at Aubrey disappearing at the door. He didn't tell her a good news about her. His mind was full of what Wendy Landuo had just said to him.

The charming and unparalleled bride-to-be Wendy Landuo, known as the Pearl of the West Coast, came to the castle urgently to find Raymon for two consecutive weeks because of the old City Lord Amissa's affairs.

According to Wendy Landuo, the patriarch of the Tully family and City Lord Amissa had health problems caused by Haivensten alone. In order to ascend to the position of City Lord as soon as possible, Haivensten had poisoned their father, the old City Lord Amissa, for three years.

The chronic poison that had lasted for three years eroded City Lord Amissa's body without knowing it. If it hadn't been for Wendy Landuo's accidental discovery of some clues, the matter would not have been revealed.

Raymon was not interested in such family conflicts. He didn't want to get involved in such events at all. But the conditions put forward by Wendy Landuo made Raymon a little moved.

A valuable item inherited by the Tully family for over a hundred years. According to Wendy Landuo, it was a powerful item that could only be used by wizards and had attack power not inferior to that of formal wizards.

The common name of this item was Artifact!

Made by powerful wizards, even first-level wizard apprentices could easily use this powerful offensive weapon.

The condition proposed by Wendy Landuo was to exchange this artifact of the Tully family for Raymon's help to uncover Haivensten's conspiracy and kill or expel him.

But out of caution, Raymon did not give Wendy Landuo any promise. Whether such an artifact existed and whether it was really as powerful as she described, any promise was meaningless before Raymon saw the artifact.

Although Raymon had always been on guard against Deputy City Lord Haivensten in his heart, this sunny young man with a brilliant smile and very gentlemanly demeanor didn't give Raymon a good feeling. Because there was too strong a disguise on him. But for this reason, Raymon could not accept Wendy Landuo's conditions.

Raymon's attitude towards Haivensten was not the reason for Raymon to believe Miss Wendy Landuo. Her beauty was not a decisive factor for Raymon to make a promise on impulse.

Wendy Landuo, who was on the verge of tears and wanted to arouse Raymon's sympathy, only got Raymon's cold conclusion after telling everything: "Everything is based on assumptions. If I tell your brother Haivensten about your guess, I believe I will get more."

Raymon's attitude deprived Wendy Landuo of the status of equal negotiation. Facing Raymon who was not interested at all, Wendy Landuo had to lay out all her chips helplessly.

A powerful artifact, her body, and the allegiance of the Tully family.

Raymon, who did not approve or disapprove, still did not show his position. In response to this bold girl's response, Raymon finally just told her that unless the artifact was placed before him, Raymon would reconsider the matter.

Facing the loss of the basis for further negotiation, Wendy Landuo with a bitter expression had to say goodbye. The only thing she could do was to send the powerful artifact to Raymon first in exchange for the basis to continue negotiations with Raymon.

Raymon pinched out the cigar and carefully recalled the conversation just now. Raymon cursed silently with some annoyance, "Who said women with big breasts have no brains!"

This beautiful girl who hadn't said a few words to him should have taken a fancy to him after the beast arena incident.

And the transfer of her personal maid Aubrey was her test.

And his brother Seth's frequent visits to the castle before were also her smoke screen. But the eyes and ears belonging to her in the castle were not completely exposed until today. It seemed that the old City Lord Amissa's body could not hold out any longer, or Wendy Landuo didn't want to continue testing.

But if what Wendy Landuo said was true and the artifact she provided was powerful, then Raymon would have a headache.

To overthrow Deputy City Lord Haivensten was not a trivial matter. Raymon frowned bitterly with a wry smile.

Time passed slowly, and the smoke-filled room became choking. After dispelling the thoughts of Wendy Landuo in his mind, Raymon got up and walked to the door to open the door to vent the smoke.

But Aubrey, who was frightened by Raymon suddenly opening the door, appeared in Raymon's sight immediately.

Timid and frightened, Aubrey's face was very pale, making her towering breasts more prominent.

Raymon, with a calm face, stared at her strangely and asked, "What are you standing here so late for?"

Raymon looked up and down at Aubrey in her maid outfit, which fully demonstrated her charm. Her alluring appearance, shapely figure, slender waist and seamless long legs pressed together made Raymon's throat dry.

With fear in her eyes, Aubrey lowered her head quickly and fiddled with the corners of her clothes. She stammered, "Sir...I...I..."

Aubrey's babble gave Raymon an inspiration. He suddenly thought of a possibility.

Raymon reached out and pulled Aubrey into the room, then immediately closed the door. He pinched Aubrey's chin with his fingers and asked softly close to her face: "Were you Miss Wendy Landuo's maid before?"

Aubrey, who was frightened by Raymon's sudden move, shrank her pupils sharply. Her delicate cheeks lost their color, and her body trembled.

Looking closely at the frightened Aubrey, Raymon showed an playful expression on his face. The trembling Aubrey turned out to be Wendy Landuo's eye in the castle, which Raymon did not expect before.

"Did Wendy Landuo find you, or did you take the initiative to inform her?"

Raymon's cold questioning made Aubrey, who was trembling all over, unable to stand it. Her knees went soft and she knelt on the ground, telling with a frightened voice...
