BXBX NOVEL Chapter 829 Herman’s Scheme
If winter still wasn\'t here, he might\'ve even presumed that Ace had abducted Alina already. Nevertheless, things have gotten out of his hand. As a matter of fact, everyone else\'s hands!
At this moment, Herman\'s eyes shone with conviction as if he had decided and stopped at a remote corner of the island and then created a special ice barrier around himself with Qi to make sure no one spied on him.
Flipping his hand, a silver limit talisman appeared, and he poured his Qi, activating it. The next moment, a solemn voice sounded from the limit talisman, "Does something happen, my lord?"
Herman grimly spoke, "Indeed, the Sky Stealer has appeared way ahead of time, and now he has taken Alina with him!"
"Wait, what?!" The voice on the other side was filled with disbelief and anxiety, "What should we do!? If the princess had been taken by that thief, won\'t we lose her forever?" The panic in his voice couldn\'t be clearer.
Who didn\'t know about the legends of Sky Stealer nowadays? He was probably the only person who had been haunted by so many terrifying figures, yet, no one had ever come closer to discovering his whereabouts, much less capturing him.
Herman\'s expression was grave as he said, "No, they should be back this time, but I can\'t say for sure afterward. Where are you guys? I want you to activate our spies in the human sects and reveal our location to humans as well as the information about the sky stealer!"
"What? You guys will be captured as well! Furthermore, I\'ve heard that the human sects have been more united than ever, and if they learn you guys with the sky stealer are there, they will send their full power to capture you all!" The voice on the other side solemnly stated.
Herman sighed before coldness crept into his eyes, "You\'re wrong. They would do anything to capture Sky Stealer. They won\'t care about the bait anymore. Furthermore, first struck a deal with them before revealing this information via soul contract. They have to let us go once they capture the Sky Stealer. I\'ll even help them deliver the first decisive blow!"
"Are you really going to do it?" The voice sounded in disbelief, "I know it\'s not good to tangle with him. But he helped you guys escape that prison and seemed to care about…"
"Shut up!" Herman\'s eyes were filled with madness as he coldly uttered, "If you don\'t want the entire Silver Ice Clan getting destroyed, then do as I command you to. We can\'t afford to lose Alina, or you have no idea what calamity will befall us, and no one will be spared!"
The voice on the other side becomes silent for a while before sounding again, "I will see to you right now!"
"Just hurry. I will try my best to obstruct him." Herman gloomily stated before he stopped using the limit talisman and put it away.
A rueful sigh escaped his mouth as deep pain surfaced in his eyes, \'Forgive me, little Aly, but I can\'t let you repeat the mistake of Old Mistress. The Blood Ancestor will kill everyone this time. You can resent me for living for what I\'m about to do…\'
The next moment, he removed the ice barrier, but he was startled when he saw a hooded figure standing a meter away from where he stood. It was Winter!
\'Was she listening?!\' His face went pale, but he calmed his nerves and tried to act normal.
"Is there something Lady Faceless wants?" He calmly asked, but a faint undulation started to emit from his two fists.
Winter\'s doubtful voice rang, "What were you doing? I just felt Qi fluctuations and came here to check out, and I just happened to find you appeared out of that barrier. What are you cooking, old man?"
\'So, she didn\'t hear anything!\' He had a massive relief and became calmer. Because as long as Winter hadn\'t listened and he was also confident in that barrier, so he felt everything was fine.
He quickly replied with a difficult expression, "I was just worried about little Aly. It\'s been quite a while since Mr. Sky Stealer took her away."
"Heh, do you think you are more capable than him when it comes to protecting something? Just stop poking your nose in the young people\'s business, or are you a pervert?" Winter jeeringly remarked without caring about Herman\'s ugly expression.
She always behaves unruly without caring about others\' feelings. But there was reason behind her behavior. She was neither arrogant nor a reckless person, not by a long shot!
Herman controlled his urge to slap Winter just like he always does. He was now somewhat used to her taunting.
"I\'m just worried. There is nothing so that sorts." Herman stoically replied.
"Heh, then why do I don\'t want to believe you, though?" Winter questioned playfully.
"That\'s something I can\'t do anything about," Herman replied matter-of-factly.
He never understood why this woman always kept a keen eye on him, and he knew she had never done something like this for both Alina or Lillian. But for some reason, she was always keeping an eye on him as if he was her enemy.
That\'s why he was always very secretive and made sure to be careful whenever he made contact. But today, he had made a mistake by losing his calm when he saw Ace, and he had no choice but to contact his men, or he knew only calamity awaited them.
However, Winter appeared right after, and he was caught off guard. But now it seemed she didn\'t hear anything, but it won\'t be a lie to say Winter was now on full-on alert. But this was only his speculation.
"Is something happened while we were away?"
A spirited, melodious rang at this moment, making both Winter and Herman alert!
