Chapter 1150: Chapter 1136: Assassination Plot

Kill Count Misar.

Just six short words fell in Baiyu’s mind like a thunderclap, sparking an urge to walk away immediately.

Even though he had arrived in Abaida not long ago, Baiyu knew who the man was.

The Governor of Abaida, one of the six members of the Chaos Mother Star’s planetary council.

Born into the Misar Clan, his brother was entrenched at the heart of the Galaxy Imperial as a member of the imperial upper council.

Such a noble held immense power.

Baiyu felt that this Chief Judge was making a joke, but that serious expression showed he was earnest, with no hint of jest.

Baiyu steadied his emotions, looking at Alfred with great caution: "Chief Judge sir, are you sure you aren’t joking with me? I can’t think of any reason that would drive a church’s Chief Judge to kill an Imperial Count."

Alfred shook his head and simply said: "Pollution. Count Misar, has been corrupted from the starry depths.

Whether the one alive is still Count Misar, we aren’t sure.

But.

What’s certain is, even if Count Misar is alive, his thoughts, spirit, and will have been twisted, leaving only an empty shell of Count Misar, while he occupies such an important position.

If we don’t kill him.

The Chaos Mother Star may face more danger.

Last month, Count Misar secretly brought in a batch of unknown goods through those Hunter Organizations hiding in the sewers. He might have started setting up methods to quietly please the Evil God.

Therefore, he must be cleared away.

And this matter cannot be done by the church openly."

Baiyu instinctively wanted to leave, not wanting to get involved in these dangerous affairs, because once involved, it meant being entangled, hard to exit, but Alfred wasn’t giving him the chance to leave.

"Can’t we report this to the Empire?"

Baiyu said deeply.

Alfred chuckled, touching his well-crafted black monk robe: "Chaos Mother Star is separated by two massive Star Zones from the Galaxy Imperial center. Even if we use the teleportation array at any cost, it would still take a year to reach the Empire.

By the time the Empire’s solution reaches the Chaos Mother Star, another year would pass.

Moreover.

This is under the condition of traveling at any cost.

Also, the Empire doesn’t handle things quickly; the entire Galaxy is too vast, with wars and rebellions happening on distant planets every moment, and the Empire has too many matters to attend to every day. They won’t handle this quickly.

Furthermore. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Count Misar hasn’t revealed any weaknesses yet, and the Empire’s approach will likely be just investigation and monitoring."

Baiyu frowned.

It was at this moment he felt the enormity and bulkiness of a super empire spanning the Galaxy.

The Emperor is distant indeed.

Those planets far from the Empire’s center can entirely be local emperors.

"But surely there are experts from the Misar Clan and possibly strong figures from the Life Sect around Count Misar. Also, Misar’s death would create a massive impact on Abaida."

Baiyu raised the second concern.

Count Misar was a fervent believer of the Life Goddess. With his status, the Life Sect would surely pay attention to him.

Alfred rubbed the book’s cover: "So, this task is not simple. Using it to trade for precise information on a demigod, it’s an equivalent exchange. You possess the power to participate in this matter.

I can vaguely sense that there is a beast hidden within you.

How about it.

Will you join this hunt?

If Misar’s matter isn’t dealt with, the entire Abaida might plunge into crisis, and you would struggle to stay uninvolved.

On the contrary.

If you join, you will gain the friendship of the Scarred Church.

And take control of the specific situation, thereby using your own strength to prevent catastrophe. There are billions of lives on this whole Chaos Mother Star.

Their lives need our protection.

I think you aren’t someone who places your comfort in someone else’s hands."

Baiyu wasn’t swayed by Alfred’s generous words, calmly asking: "Can I choose not to join?"

"Yes, we don’t force anyone. Especially given the presence behind you isn’t hostile with my Lord."

Whether Alfred was talking about Black Moon or the City Lord was unclear.

Baiyu stayed silent for a moment, then said: "For this mission, will we face life-threatening risks? If the Blood Church can’t deploy open forces, and only relies on Judgement Court members, it will seem extremely challenging."

"Also, the Mechanical God Church, also known as the God of Mechanics Church."

Alfred said: "This time, it will be a joint action by the Scarred Church’s Judgement Court, the Blade Brotherhood, and the punishers of the Mechanical God Church against Count Misar."

Baiyu fell into contemplation.

He remembered the previous warning from the moon.

Involving the three major churches and the Governor’s Mansion, isn’t it this matter?

Unexpectedly, just after the moon spoke, he encountered it; he’d clearly used the Divination Crystal, the Sealing Object, to foretell before going out, concluding it was suitable to go out.

"Given such a strong lineup, why come to me? I feel my strength isn’t required."

Baiyu subtly implied he might not be suited for such extremely dangerous undertakings.

"No one dislikes having too many helpers, and I have something you need. Just well, we lack helpers too. As I said, this is a fair trade, I won’t force you. If you don’t want to trade, cancellation is fine."

Alfred reopened the book.

Baiyu said: "I need to go back to consider it."

"You can, just give me an answer before next month. Come find me here again, I’ll be here lately.

However.

You need to sign a confidentiality contract before you can leave."

While Baiyu was speaking, Alfred had already quickly drafted a contract on the book.

It was then Baiyu noticed.

The book in Alfred’s hand had only about one-third of the pages with writing on them.

The rest was just a thick pile of blank paper.

In just a moment, Alfred had drawn up a confidentiality contract.

Baiyu carefully read the words and terms above, confirmed several times with Spirituality, and agreed to the contract’s content after determining there were no issues.

"Goodbye, Mr. Geman."

Alfred closed the book, "I’ll be here all month, waiting for your arrival anytime."

Baiyu didn’t reply, got up, and walked out of the store.

In the silent night where cold winds blew, boom, a faint sound echoed, and the shop door behind him closed at once.
