Chapter 672 An Urgent Task (Part Two)

"It seems necessary to send someone to keep an eye on Blood Lord Leo and monitor his every movement. He has to be prevented from messing up again," Alyssa suggested after thinking for a while.

"Then who do you suggest we send? Blood Lord Leo is a master at the Supernal Stage. Ordinary spirit manipulators are no match for him and are not the right people for the job," Woods said. He couldn't figure out who could be sent to watch over Blood Lord Leo.

"Of course, you are right about ordinary spirit manipulators," said Alyssa. "They are not the right people for the job. But you seem to forget something very important. It seems you underestimate the power of women and how easily they can bring down a great man." She then paused for a moment. Just enough to let that sink in. Then nodding with satisfaction, she added, "It should be a cinch. Let's find a girl within our ranks. A slick girl, clever enough to play Leo like a fiddle, and have him do whatever she wants." From the look on her face, you could tell she already had a suitable candidate in mind.

"Are you thinking of letting Laney go and have a try?" Woods — Alyssa's brother, alongside whom she had fought for a long time, immediately guessed what she was thinking.

"You got it spot-on. If you need someone to play hooker, look no further. Laney is the real deal," Alyssa enthused.

However, Woods was doubtful and did not seem to agree with Alyssa. He voiced out his thoughts. "I'm afraid it might be a dangerous idea for us to do this. Leo might not be as gullible and easy to deal with as we think. What if Laney's cover is blown, and Leo learns of what we have been scheming. You can imagine his anger and disappointment with us. That will mean the end of trust between him and us. Such a fallout is not something you would wish for, I guess. Of course, I am not doubting Laney's abilities. I believe in her, but after her mission

on the whole army." The mere mention of Rocky's name stung at Alyssa's heart, reigniting the fire that had always burned inside of her. It was like adding gasoline to hot coals. Her fists began to clench. A fit of rage gripped her heart so viciously that in a moment, even her knuckles turned white from clenching. Right there and then, she promised herself she'd find that prick, no matter what it took. And if she got hold of him, she'd make him pay a dear price. She felt she could rip him to pieces, yanking off pieces of flesh with her bare hands as if they were the powerful claws of a beast.

However, since the last battle in the desolate village, she hadn't figured out what Moon Fox meant by saying that. She had tried to get more information from the beast but to no avail, which bothered her so much. To win the battle against the Holy Dragon Empire, they had to get rid of Rocky— their most stubborn obstacle. He was no doubt a source of concern in their quest for victory. If they could get rid of him, his death would also put paid to all other threats, once and for all. Yet, strangely, Moon Fox warned her not to harm Rocky in any way. And it bothered her what would happen if she ignored Moon Fox. She was unsure of what to do for the next couple of days.
