The Goddess Made A Mistake Again-Chapter 255 - - Three Devolopments

They were taking in our spots to fill in those places that they lost.

It wasn't a bad idea… it was a destructive one.

Moving into to take someone else's spot was a big no no in every underground gang or organization. And these four went on to do the very same.

But what I found strange was that all four did that at the same time. I knew they were in cohorts, but not even one of them hesitated to go this far.

This meant there was something else happening in the background.

I don't know what it is, but I get a feeling what it could be.

With the least interesting one gone let's start with the big ones.

The matter about Elisabeth Valorence… she was a strange figure in this last few days.

Somehow without any indication or move from me, she started to make a move on me. Seriously, I still haven't figured out what could have happened for that change and Arthur here most likely didn't know it either.

But the interesting thing about her was that she stopped meeting me. After that day in the bombing, I haven't seen her figure anywhere in the academy or on the outside.

I thought that maybe I've been missing her by an inch or she was not in the academy. But that was not it. Samantha told me otherwise.

[ Flashback ]

"About her?... yeah, she's a bit strange after the bombing but I suppose she's still scared. Maybe that's why she doesn't want to hang around the normal cafeteria anymore and goes straight for our special one."

"About us meeting you guys?... I don't know, she doesn't speak about you guys much now."

"So Henry, how are yo-"

[ Flashback Cut ]

Yeah, she was ignoring me.

Maybe I shouldn't have gone in for that kiss… or I should have gone faster before Arthur had come. I don't know what those outcomes would have been but it certainly would be better than this hide and seek game.

Finally, the most interesting thing.

Ashen Fang… her real name Rebecca Hailey ( My Little Assassin )

Back then, when I issued for an extraction team for Lazarus, I also issued a mission for her too in her codename Ashen Fang. It was to kill the guy that murdered a lot of innocent people.

Which in Rebecca's book should be checked off as she only killed bad people.

But I still worried that she would fail or things could go awry and she might instead help him out. Who could say what happens in a novel.

But nothing went out of hitch and the plan went just as I wanted. Lazarus dead and me able to gain some understanding of Rebecca.

For one thing, she was a blind fool. She didn't know who was the real criminal or not. Because if she did, she definitely wouldn't have poisoned poor ol' Lazarus… and the way she did, the rumors shook people.

Strangely nobody did an investigation on his death. Probably they hated him too much.

I understood that I could make this work. I could make Rebecca work for me in ways that I couldn't do in the spotlight. She would be my knife of vengeance, waiting in the dark and me her provider… providing her with false information about people and letting her kill them.

Sure, it was a bit trouble providing false information and humiliating their reputation but she did quite a fine job for me to issue a job to someone else.

All those that I ordered her to kill were killed in very bizarre ways. Either someone's head was cut off, which was the best case or they were writhing in extreme pain on the ground poisoned… close to the worst case.

Seeing our new development, I decided to check something crazy out. I created a fake account and used that to give her two jobs. Those two jobs were very crazy but would enrich her extremely.

The first job was to kill the reigning queen Abigail… clearly she denied without even taking a second look.

Rebecca probably knew she was a bad woman, but still she didn't take the contract. She understood the limits of her power and Abigail was on a whole another level for her to take on.

Ironically, the second job was about me.

To kill me.

Unsurprisingly, she didn't accept that as well.

Now I came up with two factors. First she wanted to kill me by herself, on her own accord. So taking a contract about me didn't suit her.

Second, she didn't want to kill me. Reason… don't know. But it could have something to do with me saving her that time.

Still, not sure if she still wants to kill me or not.

But I was more than interested to know her thoughts.

…

With those two done, nothing else happened in the life of Henry Van Tax.

Sure, he had sex with a lot of women, Abigail and a few close ones mostly. But nothing really new happened.

So with that time went on and we are now close to the end of February.

That meant, it was time for the exam.

…

Midnight

I stood at the balcony of three floor building and watched through a small rectangular item. Through the glasses of the binocular, I saw a carriage speeding through the roads to approach the limits of the capital.

Around the carriage were three groups of armed guards. One in the front, scouting out the area ahead and two back, steadily protecting the carriage from any attacks.

Taking a look at one of the guards, I saw their high gear and blue rings that every one of them had.

"She came in prepared."

The carriage quickly came to the guard post and went in without any problem. Then it stopped before one of the extravagant hotels and the person inside it got out.

It was a woman. She was tall, had soft long hair and wear a normal dress… probably to hide her real self.

Taking a look at her beautiful face, I wasn't disappointed at all.

"So you're finally here… Youngest princess of Sekai."
