Chapter 2044: Chapter 2045: The Hidden Figure, Danger Approaches

Neither Qiu Ruoxi nor Qianhuan Liuyun asked Ye Xunhuan about the Yata no Kagami, whether it’s in his possession.

For Qiu Ruoxi, whether the Yata no Kagami is in Ye Xunhuan’s hands doesn’t matter at all, and if it is, it shows it’s useful to Ye Xunhuan.

Qianhuan Liuyun is even simpler; she’s already deeply impressed by Ye Xunhuan, let alone the Yata no Kagami, she wouldn’t hesitate even if Ye Xunhuan asked her to die.

How could she possibly be concerned about the Yata no Kagami?

Jin Zhengru, who was preparing to watch the show from the side, couldn’t help but sigh when she saw Ye Xunhuan and Ye Qing calm down.

That sigh was filled with regret!

Indeed, it was regret, as if she was quite willing to see Ye Xunhuan and Ye Qing fighting here.

Unfortunately, it was stopped by Qiu Ruoxi.

The scene she wanted to see was utterly shattered.

"Xiao Ru, what are you looking at?" Pu Junxi asked, somewhat puzzled.

Pu Junxi originally thought he could see some exciting drama, but surprisingly, after watching for a long time, he didn’t see anything.

"It’s over for now, but there will be opportunities to see it later." Jin Zhengru said calmly, "Just pay more attention to Ye Xunhuan."

"This trip to Moscow might be more complicated than we imagined."

Saying this, Jin Zhengru’s face fell into a contemplative mood.

Like everyone else, she and Ye Xunhuan do not know what this summit is for, or who supports the Rothschild family in doing this, and what their purpose is.

However, Jin Zhengru believes the fox’s tail will surely show, and it won’t be long.

After separating from Ye Xunhuan, Ye Qing walked to a man’s side, whispering softly about something.

But every time she spoke, Ye Qing’s eyes glanced at Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi, clearly suggesting what she said was related to them.

At this moment, no one noticed that Bernie, the organizer of this summit, had disappeared without a trace.

The others gathered in small groups, drinking merrily, unaware that in a slightly secluded space within this manor, Bernie was standing respectfully behind a couch, with an expression of unprecedented respect.

This tranquil space, within the manor, is entirely sealed off, like a secret chamber.

Several LED screens were placed in the room, each displaying multiple divided scenes.

These scenes were those of the summit within the manor, viewed in a 360-degree, seamless surveillance.

On the couch before Bernie sat a man, back facing Bernie.

Because this man had his back to Bernie and the room’s lighting was a bit dim, his appearance was obscured, except for his short hair suggesting he was a man.

"What a pity they didn’t make a move." The man slowly opened his mouth, his voice tinged with disappointment.

"Master, why would the Ampei family confront the Marshal, unless they..."

"That’s not our concern; if they want to make a move, we should try to aid them," the man interrupted, "Besides, it’s beneficial to us, isn’t it?"

"Yes!" Bernie immediately replied.

"Keep an eye on that woman!"

With that, the man pointed at a woman on the screen.

This woman was none other than Jin Zhengru.

Bernie followed the man’s gesture, a puzzled look crossing his face, "Master, do you know her?"

"It’s precisely because I don’t know her that I want you to watch her, otherwise why pay attention?"

Inside, Bernie was curious as to why the man wanted him to monitor Jin Zhengru but did not dare to continue questioning.

Because he knows the temper of the person before him.

"Did Evelyn’s humiliation by Jeremiah get out?" the man suddenly changed the topic, asking again.

"It got out before, and the video should have reached their royal family; I believe those from the Stone Sword have seen this video too." Bernie immediately replied.

The man sighed heavily, "Find a way to stir up a conflict between the Marshal and Ye Qing here."

A look of difficulty crossed Bernie’s face.

If it were someone else, he could do it, but dealing with Ye Xunhuan, the Marshal, makes it very difficult.

For a moment, Bernie didn’t know how to respond.

Seeing Bernie hesitate to speak, the man’s voice came again with a trace of displeasure, "What, you can’t do it?"

"Master, the Marshal is beyond my control..."

"If you could control him, you’d be sitting here, and I’d be calling you Master," the man retorted softly yet sharply.

Bernie’s body shivered uncontrollably, a layer of cold sweat appearing on his forehead!

"Master, I..."

"Don’t give me any nonsense." The man cut Bernie off, "Get this done for me, no matter how you do it!"

"By the way, I don’t keep useless people under my wing."

Bernie seemed to have remembered something, his face changed dramatically, quickly saying, "Master, I will certainly accomplish it."

"That’s good." The man’s voice, which had been cold, softened gradually, "Go check all movements outside, especially those of the Soviets!"

"If the Soviets show no anomaly, you won’t need me to teach you what to do next?"

"I understand." Bernie immediately said, "Master, rest assured, I will accomplish what you have entrusted correctly."

"Then why are you still standing here?"

Immediately afterward, Bernie did not dare say more, hurriedly and respectfully retreating.

After Bernie left, the man sighed heavily, "Ye Xunhuan, Marshal, should I kill you or spare you?"

"What a headache!"

With that, the man began rubbing his temples.

Ye Xunhuan, of course, couldn’t know all this happening covertly within the manor, nor aware that his every move was being watched and manipulated by an invisible hand, altering original plans.

What exactly the plan entailed was still unknown.

But at this moment, a signal was revealed—action was imminent, right here, before everyone.

Presently, no one within the manor knows that danger is silently creeping towards them!
