The Female Assassin Pretends to Be a Lamb in the Campus-Chapter 433: Two Raphaels; She can only save the Forest; You will always be a fake.

Lafeier and the Mysterious Man stood facing each other in the quiet corridor.

Lafeier hurriedly asked, "Looking for me? Could it be that something went wrong with Lin Guli's side? Did you let him escape?"

The Mysterious Man told him, "Indeed, there has been no news coming back so far. The people I sent have lost contact."

Lafeier was surprised, "How could that be? The people under your command are all top-notch assassins. Even if Lin Guli noticed something and took precautions, when facing your people, there would only be one outcome - death."

The Mysterious Man's face clouded over slightly, "If it was her, it wouldn't be strange for something to go wrong or for her to be counter-killed."

Lafeier said, "Impossible. She has been in Hua Country the whole time. I dare to guarantee that she has no idea about what has happened here."

The Mysterious Man said, "But now it looks like she may already know, and it's even possible she came for me from the very beginning."

Lafeier said, "That's even more impossible. If she came for you from the beginning and has been acting with us the whole time, how could she just stand by and watch Lin Cheng die? Didn't you say she has amazing abilities? How could she have let your people easily kill Lin Cheng in the hospital?"

The Mysterious Man murmured, "Lin Cheng?"

Lafeier's eyes flashed, "Could it be that you suspect Lin Cheng is not dead? The Crown Prince saw his corpse with his own eyes and personally verified it. His corpse was kept in the morgue for several days. It was absolutely not fake."

Or did the Crown Prince play them for fools? Would he intentionally cooperate with them? That would not match the Crown Prince's status and wisdom.

The Mysterious Man kept silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Lafeier was somewhat impatient, "Tell me the truth. Just who is she? What grudge does she have against you? Why are you so wary of her?"

The Mysterious Man just glanced at him, not answering his questions.

Seeing the man's attitude, Lafeier lost his temper, "What is the meaning of this? You know everything about me, yet you hide things from me. Though you are formidable, don't forget that we have a cooperative relationship, one of equality. I have waited for this day for so many years. If things go wrong because of your personal issues, I will never agree to it!"

The Mysterious Man let out a cold laugh, disdainfully saying, "Cooperative relationship? Equality? You think you deserve that? You're nothing but a pitiful pawn discarded by your family that I picked up. If it wasn't for your face, you would have died unknown in some corner. And now you get to return to your family? Live in the Duke's residence? Enjoy these honors? And you dare yell at me?"

The Mysterious Man's words stung Lafeier.

Lafeier was furious with shame, "Do you dare dispose of me and kill me? A windfall for one is a windfall for all, a loss for one is loss for all. You..."

Before Lafeier could finish speaking, the Mysterious Man grabbed his neck with one hand. The shadow of death swiftly approached.

Seeing the killing intent in the Mysterious Man's eyes, Lafeier began to struggle. The Mysterious Man watched him coldly, like a fish on dry land, not showing any intention of letting him catch his breath.

He only released his hand at the last moment before Lafeier lost consciousness due to asphyxiation.

Lafeier experienced a brush with death. He sat down heavily on the floor, panting hard. Supporting himself with the handrail, he pulled himself up with some effort. With a mocking smile he said, "...Do you think this can scare me? This isn't even the closest I've come to death. Besides, you don't even dare to kill me."

After catching his breath, Lafeier continued, "People in the same boat should not have internal strife at such a critical juncture."

Seeing that the Mysterious Man could only swallow his anger in front of him, Lafeier spoke even more harshly, "You should hurry up and send someone again to find out what on earth is going on with Lin Guli's side."

"As for Qiao Ying, although I have only heard about her frightening capabilities from you, even if she already knows now with everything set in motion, there is nothing one person can do to change much. At most she may be able to save Lin Guli's life."

"Of course, if she has come for you from the very start, meaning to lure you out, then I can only wish you the best of luck."

"It's almost time. I have to go see if those old fellows' backbones have softened. I'll bring you good news later." After speaking, Lafeier left the Mysterious Man with a vexing smile.

Lafeier lifted his foot to leave.

The Mysterious Man said lightly, "I will definitely let you know the difference between not daring to kill you and not being able to kill you at the moment."

Lafeier looked at him.

The Mysterious Man said, "I have planned for so many years. Do you think I would be so stupid as to find someone to restrain myself? Don't be so arrogant. Killing you would not be something particularly troublesome or tiring for me. I saved you and let you keep your life to enjoy blessings. You should be grateful. When I say you're a dog, you have to bark twice for me. Dare to bite your master or foolishly harbor thoughts of standing shoulder to shoulder with me, and you can try to find out the consequences."

Lafeier was speechless for a moment in the face of the Mysterious Man.

The Mysterious Man said, "Get lost."

Lafeier stared at the man for a few seconds before angrily leaving.

The Mysterious Man watched Lafeier's departing figure, beginning to plot a scheme that would kill two birds with one stone...

A pair of prying eyes peered out from around a corner about 30 feet away.

The mysterious man, who had the same voice as his father, had gone from standing sideways to him to now having his back facing towards him. Even the back view was the same. Lai En was shocked.

That man, whether in build or appearance, was exactly the same as his father Lafeier. At that moment, one was walking away and the other remained standing in place, both with their backs to him, making the resemblance even more apparent.

Two fathers, two Lafeiers.

Lai En felt his scalp tingle as his breathing stopped.

He recalled the man he had wrongly recognized at the hospital that day.

It must have been this man before him now.

Lai En retracted his line of sight, recalling the conversation between the two men just now...

Lafeier went downstairs, about to gather together the imprisoned royal family members in the main hall, to force them into making the final decision.

Thinking that he would soon become the king father with countless people beneath him, his steps quickened with anticipation.

The third floor was quiet without a sound.

Only the sound of Lafeier's footsteps could be heard as he walked. Suddenly, he felt something. He looked back but there was nothing there.

Withdrawing his thoughts, he continued walking.

Unexpectedly, after taking just a few steps, he felt a sharp pain at the back of his neck. Right after, his vision went dark and he lost consciousness.

After Lafeier left, the Mysterious Man waited there for over ten minutes. Feeling the timing was about right, he too left in another direction towards the main hall on second floor - that was his viewing area.

Just as he descended to the second floor and before he could walk to his "seat", a voice called out,

"Father."
