Chapter 2349: Headache-Inducing Sisters
The Monster Lord had to go after the one in the treasury, so he ended up letting Salamay’s group go instead. Both she and Mojard felt a powerful feeling of danger, as if the Monster Lord didn’t treat them with any importance. They knew that the longer they stalled, the more unfavorable it would be for them. They had to rescue the Lord of Slaughter as quickly as possible. Only he could face off against the Monster Lord.
Of course, there was no need to tell Zu An all of these things.
“Three days is too short,” Zu An said with a frown. He was actually already making the formation, but there was no way they could finish in three days.
“Five days is the maximum. If we delayed any longer, the Monster Lord could easily notice what is happening. Everything would be over then.” Salamay had a serious expression. Everything in the underground city was under strict control, and the smallest activity would be noticed by the Monster Lord. Five days was already the longest they could stall for.
Zu An knew the Monster Lord wouldn’t do much even if he found out, but he still agreed in order to avoid drawing suspicion.
Salamay nodded in satisfaction. Then, she discussed the details of their cooperation. In the meantime, however, she keenly sensed something and looked at him. “I seem to have sensed that you wanted to say something several times, but stopped. Did you want to say something to me?”
Zu An smiled. “The first miss is overthinking things. I just wanted to praise the first miss for her carefully prepared plan.”
He was actually considering whether to tell her that the Monster Lord already knew everything and see if he could borrow her strength to fight the Monster Lord. After all, there were three forces right now. Both he and Salamay were far weaker than the Monster Lord. But in the end, he still gave up on that thought. The Lord of Slaughter was already dead, after all, and he could even be considered to have died because of Zu An. Thus, in the end, they were destined to become enemies.
More importantly, the Monster Lord already knew all of her plans, and yet she and Mojard were still completely in the dark. The gap in strength between the two sides could be even worse than he imagined. It also implied that she probably had moles on her side. If he told her the truth, it would be difficult for herto not leak crucial secrets. That would only put him in more danger.
