Chapter 545 Destroying Enemies With Scheme
Noel smiled. He acknowledged the power behind the Eternal Flower.
Though, no one expected that Harley had grown it to this degree. He felt a bit bad that everything that had been built so far became his right this instant.
Noel looked down for a moment, contemplating. On the one hand, he didn"t want to use the Eternal Flower because he still didn"t understand their depth and abilities. On the other hand, he had to ask for their help.
After all, Harley"s loyalty was actually of great help to his current plan.
Seeing the hesitation on Noel"s face, Harley immediately asked, "Is there anything troubling you, Master? If you need our help, you only have to say the words. We shall a.s.sist you to the best of our abilities."
Noel remained silent for a moment before glancing at the maid, who maintained her neutrality. It seemed that even though he was their leader, he still couldn"t capture the heart of his subordinates.
Noel sighed. "As much as I don"t want to involve you in this, getting your help will smoothen the entire progress. So, I need your help, Harley."
"Please tell me about the problem."
"First of all, I have to confirm it first. The n.o.ble you are dealing with is…"
"Count Leinberd, but he is a direct subordinate of Marquis Walford. Everything in our agreement must be traced back to the marquis. In other words, if we play our card right, we can destroy the marquis. Well, this might be a personal reason, one that I shouldn"t use if I want to take care of my enemy, but the marquis has been eyeing for the Ardagan Family"s wealth.
"Because of that, the people under your father don"t like him very much. Now that there is a chance to crush him, I"m trying to use that opportunity…"
"Do you have any concrete plan?" Noel asked.
"I"m planning to form a good relationship with the Count first while trying to make him misunderstand my affiliation and relationship with the Supreme Devil Organization. After that, I"ll use that connection to meet the marquis and find any concrete proof to report him to the royal family.
"Although the marquis is strong, the moment we publicize the evidence, the public opinion will cause instability in the family. Even the Royal Family has no other way but to act against them despite being one of their allies."N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter"s release on N0v3l--B1n.
Noel pinched the bridge of his nose. The plan was good, but it would take too long. Noel also had a plan in his mind, but with this cooperation, he had to adjust it a little bit.
"Say…" Noel was hesitant a little bit but still continued, "What if we don"t need proof to destroy them? Instead, how about we create the proof itself?"
"That"s a good plan, but that depends on the proof itself. We can"t create the proof from nothing, Master. It"ll lack credibility, and the royal family will help them instead of judging them." Harley shook his help.
"No. I don"t mean the proof related to the Supreme Devil Organization. Instead, we shall create proof that will strengthen the suspicion of others that they"re related to that organization." Noel smirked.
"Huh? I apologize, but I don"t really understand what you"re talking about."
"Since you have been following me, you should know about Runes, right?"
"No. Although we"ve been following your news, we never go too close since it"s Dimitri"s mission, not us."
"I see. What if I told you that I had a book of the completed version of the Spirit Enchantment? It can allow a normal person to be as strong as the demons of the same level without the help of spirits! And the ones who can cultivate it are not limited to Master Blacksmith."
"!!!" Harley was stunned by the explanation, but he still didn"t understand why he mentioned it.
Noel smiled. "Do you have a map here? I"m going to explain my plan and see if you think you can help or not."
Harley nodded. "Illia, get the map and a few pieces. We need the entire Western Region Map and the map that covers one hundred kilometers around Tamworth."
Illia acknowledged the order and retrieved the maps immediately. During that time, Harley cleaned up the table so that they could put the map on it.
As soon as he laid the map down, Noel saw a few familiar names.
Count Leinberd, Marquis Walford, Countess Christina. Everything was written on the map and their territory was near each other.
Noel smirked and pointed at these three territories. "My plan will involve these three people."
"Hmm? Countess Christina is your father"s ally, Master."
"Of course. I"m planning to "give" her the book. And I want you to help me spread the word about this.
"We"ll use her and the book as bait to lure out the Count. I"m sure that the Count will come and try to s.n.a.t.c.h the book.
"If they"re truly related to the Supreme Devil Organization, the Count will hand this book to the marquis in order to get something big. And the latter will use it as collateral in the Supreme Devil Organization.
"But during that time, we"re going to spread the news that the marquis has the book. You should know the worth of that book and the Third Prince has known about the book"s existence.
"That"s why I"m sure that the Supreme Devil Organization, the Third Prince, and even the Royal Family will be eyeing that book. Then…" Noel smirked. He didn"t have to finish it.
Harley already understood his plan. "Though, I have to ask… Are you planning to spread the knowledge?"
"Yes. I have two reasons. The knowledge is beyond a person"s ability, so it"s better to spread it instead of monopolizing it. In addition, for my goal, I have to increase the overall ability of humanity. I"ve asked some people to spread the knowledge in other kingdoms, so you don"t have to worry about it."
"I see…" Harley pondered for a moment. It seemed that he agreed with the plan, but he had to confirm a few things. "So…"
