Chapter 675: 216. The wise ones gain insight

Noland Lee had worn Lord Fagen out for half the night, and was now asleep soundly.

As for Fagen, who had been tormented by Noland Lee, he was in deep grief over his “beloved” betraying him.

His marriage to Selena had fallen through, and the related seabed mine he wanted was now out of reach.

He had to secure Selena through marriage first, and then he could get the information about the mine from the Dread Sail Pirate Nation.

Now, everything was gone, all of it was gone…

In the luxurious bedroom illuminated by the magic desk lamp, Fagen stared blankly at the ceiling, his body wrapped in the soft bed.

He was lying there like a puddle of mud.

“Knock, knock, knock…” The sound of knocking came.

Fagen slowly turned his head to glance at the door before slipping back into his daze, staring at the ceiling.

The person outside the door entered without asking, used [Mage’s Hand] to open the mechanical lock on the inside of the door, and walked in.

“What should I do, Uncle?” Fagen’s voice was bitter:

“Even if we paid to silence everyone, tonight’s incident will still be leaked. My plan has failed, the family’s reputation is ruined, and my inheritance will be taken away from me… I’ve lost everything, all because of Selena’s betrayal… I don’t even know how these things happened; they came so suddenly…”

The family secret guard, referred to as “Uncle” by Fagen, was extremely calm. He took off his hat, sat in a chair by the wall, and said emotionlessly:

“Love is poison, young Dickler. It will make you make mistakes and be confused, revealing your secrets in front of women. Only you know how much you shouldn’t have said to Selena.”

Hearing the word “love,” Fagen’s tears streamed down his face, he gritted his teeth with hatred:

“Damn that bitch, she never truly loved me. Her entire purpose from the start was to expose me; she never intended to exchange Dragon Clan Stele Script for marriage! She’s a sinister, poisonous woman; she seduced and lured me, she’s the source of the tragedy I’ve suffered! What should I do, Uncle? Please, you must help me!”

“I’ve already helped you,” the family secret guard responded indifferently:

“I made those family advisors stay silent forever. The Tide Spy was killed by that arrogant wizard. Without witnesses, the Deep Sea Branch can’t conduct a full-scale investigation and interrogation based on the clues found on the Tide Spy. As long as you’re nimble and clever, knowing how to steer the conversation to the fact that you were slandered by the Dread Sail Pirate Nation, the family’s reputation won’t be harmed. You’re still young, Dickler, in comparison to the family’s history what you’re experiencing is just a wave in the vast ocean. If such waves make you cower, how will you endure future hardships… and embrace glory.”

The calm tone of the family secret guard seemed to have magical power, making Fagen’s face show a hint of determination amidst his sullenness.

He wiped his tears, struggled to sit up in bed, and walked towards the mirror, muttering:

“You’re right, Uncle. There’s still much to be done, and I haven’t lost everything yet.”

The family secret guard looked at Fagen, who was facing the mirror tidying his clothes, and a hint of relief was visible in his eyes:

“That arrogant First Rank Wizard must die, Dickler. If he doesn’t die, more people will learn from his actions and provoke you in the future; these could be people who want to show off, or they could be your brothers, sent by them.”

Fagen looked at himself in the mirror, clenched his fists, and nodded forcefully:

“Alright, Uncle. I understand. I will personally plan this matter.”

“Then you’d better be extra careful. Although that wizard is arrogant and conceited, he does have some abilities,” the family secret guard said:

“His magical power surpasses a Five-Ring Battle Wizard, but his Spiritual Ocean is on par with a First Rank Wizard. Such a peculiar situation must be due to Extraordinary Traits. You know what I mean, Dickler? Don’t be foolish; don’t hire assassins from the Dread Sail Pirate Nation to kill him, but rather exploit his Extraordinary Traits and his strengths. Make the things he relies on become the weapons to kill him.”

Fagen pondered in front of the mirror.

The family secret guard casually added:

“His Extraordinary Trait should be ‘Magic Proficient’, and he also has a Companion Witch by his side. These are his strengths and his weaknesses.”

“‘Magic Proficient’… Companion Witch…” Fagen murmured.

“Ah… I know what to do.” Fagen’s eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness, and his mouth split open like a shark about to eat:

“I’ll pass the message on to those guys in the ‘Demon Brain Land’ and get in touch with that Metal Series Wizard. I won’t even have to pay a reward to get rid of that damn wizard named Noland Lee Jarvis.”

Hehehe~ You’ve finally come to your senses, Dickler. Informing an enemy’s natural enemy is the best way to deal with an enemy. I believe, compared to your dispirited appearance, your father would rather see you as you are now. By that time, let your personal housekeeper supervise our allies.”

The family secret guard left a few chuckles, put on his pointed hat, and his body turned into mud and melted into the floor.

Fagen couldn’t wait to grab pen and paper, and he bent over to write a letter at the dressing table.

…

…

When he woke up in the morning, the Snow-winged Cat ran into the bedroom, meowing at Noland Lee’s bedside, delivering a new letter.

After enjoying breakfast made by Denise Green, Noland Lee moved to the study room.
