[Angelâs Perspective]
Whenever Master contacted me, his voice was always altered. I couldnât tell who he was from his voice at all.
âThe best information you can provide is for us to move. This isnât a permanent location,â I said.
âNo, you must stay there. This is a good place for me to make preparations. There is no better place.â
âWhat exactly do you want to do?â I asked through gritted teeth.
An eerie laugh came from Mindlink, but he said nothing.
âYour goal is Donald, right?â I analyzed it. âYouâre just using me to get Margaret out and lock her up here to bait Donald. Youâre waiting for him to walk into your trap by setting up something around here.â
âUse? Donât make it sound so bad. Weâre partners, arenât we?â
âI donât see any sincerity in you treating me as a partner. You wonât even tell me the plan,â I said.
A snicker came from the other end.
âThe she-wolf itself is of little value. Youâre so smart that when we decided, you couldnât have failed to think a little about what really mattered to her. You sensed and acquiesced to this behavior because you couldnât stand what Donald did either, could you?â
I fell silent.
After a moment, I said, âDonât treat me like a fool. When we were discussing kidnapping Margaret, you didnât say that this was to be used against Donald. Telling me and not telling me are two different things.â
âI thought all we cared about was the outcome. We came together because of a common goal.â
Master continued, âFollow the plan. We will establish a new order for the royal Lycans. Believe me, this will be an epoch-making event. We are fighting for our rightful power.â
I took a deep breath.
Master was best known for his outstanding talent and superb pharmaceutical skills, but many people ignored his ability to bewitch people.
He was so good at convincing others. Even if I remained vigilant during my conversations with him, I could not help but be convinced and agree with him.
âWhat do you want to do next?â I whispered.
âDonald is already sending men to find his little she-wolf, but he hasnât given up on a frontal assault either. His personal guards will make things difficult for our people. My setup will take time. Until then, you have to keep those two she-wolves safe. Theyâre like two pieces of candy. Theyâll attract any Lycan around who wants a taste of them, including the Lycan king.â
âDo you want me to protect Margaret?â I taunted him. âYou know my initial goal was just to kill her.â
âWhen itâs all over, you can do whatever you want with her. I donât care. But not now.â
âI understand. Iâll take good care of her.â I enunciated every word.
âBy the way, let me remind you that Donald has already marked the she-wolf. The mateâs mark might strengthen the connection between the two of them. Remember to give them the potion I gave you in a timely manner. Iâll also send someone to delay Donaldâs people as much as possible. Donât be discovered too early.â
I involuntarily clenched my fists.
âHe marked her?â
âDonât be rash,â Master warned. âDonât forget that if we fail, youâll get nothing.â
âWhat do I get out of doing these things for you?â
Everything that had developed so far had been arranged by Master. Nothing was what I wanted.
If Master was just blindly asking me to work for him but was just giving me some empty promises, I would rather cancel my cooperation with him. I looked for his cooperation to find a shortcut, but even without him, I could achieve my goal by myself.
âWhen this is all over, you can have both the she-wolf and the Lycan king.â
âThatâs just what we agreed on. Iâm doing a lot more than what we did before. I want more payment.â
âWhat do you want?â The voice of Master on the other end of the line deepened. It was the first time he had taken me seriously in this conversation.
âI want the formula for the Mist.â I made my request.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The other party was silent for a moment before saying, âAs a former member of the assault team, do you still need me to provide you with the formula for a conventional drug like the Mist?â
âThe Mist you used on them is not the version we usually use. The usual Mist can only block werewolves, but not people among the Lycans who are good at sensing. However, after your special improvement, the Mist can prevent the other partyâs scent from being smelled by mates that have marked,â I said slowly.
This time there was a longer silence.
Just as I thought that Master would reject me, I suddenly heard loud laughter from the other end.
âHahahaha, very good. As expected of someone I like.â Masterâs tone suddenly darkened, like a ghost from hell. âI promise you, if you can do what I ask smoothly, I will give you the formula.â
âItâs a deal.â My lips slowly curled into a smile.
