Chapter 150: More Than What Fate Can Defeat - II

"One hundred percent real, this is the image crystal that the Duke of Gray Tower commanded me to give you..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a floating device directly clamped the image crystal in his hand.

Ravenna activated the image crystal while continuing to walk forward. The man, considering his own life, obediently followed at a distance of ten meters.

"..."

Ravenna, who quickly browsed through the images, furrowed her brows deeply.

"Ridiculous."

The woman coldly spat out one word.

Her face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and she murmured indifferently:

"Do you think... this uncivilized creature is more qualified... to be your pact head than me?"

The sorceress, whose temperament was as cold as an iceberg, stopped, turned her head, and glanced at the man.

"If there's anything, go to the business department. The person in charge will contact me."

After saying this, she walked away without looking back.

"Ansel of Hydral."

This future sage, who almost never showed any emotional fluctuations in front of anyone, had a hint of... anger in her tone.

"You and me... we won't end so easily!"

"Waaaaaah!"

Seraphina covered her face, rolling back and forth on the couch. "I just can't watch it! I refuse to see!"

Ansel, on the other hand, propped his cheek on one hand, his eyes squinting in amusement as he watched the images projected in the air. He commented with a serious tone, "Isn't this a splendid recording of you, Seraphina? I find it quite perfect, yes, perfect indeed."

Ansel was somewhat surprised, "What happened with the Revolutionary Army?"

Marlina wouldn't report meaningless things to him, such as the Revolutionary Army being hit hard by the grand duke's forces, which didn't need to be mentioned at all, as this was what Ansel had arranged.

"Some time ago, I established trade routes in city of Sparklens and Luminopolis for two rather... vindictive extraordinary beings under the banners of the Duke of Gray Tower and the Duke of Ironblade."

The girl's voice was very soft and calm, "These two cities were occupied by the Revolutionary Army. Although it was for a short time, they were still affected, and more importantly... they lost face."

After all, this was brought up by Marlina, and to some extent, Marlina represented Ansel.

Those two "lucky ones" chosen by Marlina certainly wouldn't look up to the cities of ordinary barons, but the key was that they couldn't possibly refuse Marlina, who represented Ansel, and would even see it as a shortcut to get close to Ansel.

And once the connection was established, when the Revolutionary Army occupied the city, this route was cut off.

The two individuals under the two grand dukes were naturally furious and prepared to settle accounts with the Revolutionary Army privately.

"So." Marlina bowed her head slightly, "Whether the damage to the Revolutionary Army expands depends on your intentions."

If Ansel wanted to let the Revolutionary Army suffer more, he would ignore it; if Ansel wanted to sell a favor to the Revolutionary Army, he could give a hint on the side.

If he wanted to cause a little more damage, Ansel could also actively design something to let the grand duke lose his extraordinary beings under his command, and also let the Revolutionary Army suffer a big loss.

In these two months, it wasn't just Seraphina who had transformed.

Marlina, who was hardly the focus of Ansel's attention... relying on the persistence and desire in her heart, coupled with these virtually unlimited resources, had also grown to this point.

She knew she couldn't compare with Seraphina, so she chose to do her best in what she could do, striving for perfection.

She couldn't do anything about Ansel's arrangements for Seraphina, but when she learned that Ansel was planning to take action against the Revolutionary Army, she immediately started planning—investigating two extraordinary beings under the grand dukes, running around in various cities, gradually solidifying her image...

Although it was never mentioned in Ansel and Seraphina's life, Marlina had always been demanding herself with the most meticulous and almost demanding attitude, and finally achieved such results without even Ansel knowing.

Even if Marlina had vast resources, even if she had Ansel behind her, the entire plan didn't have any mistakes, and Ansel himself was completely clean, with only the Revolutionary Army and those two extraordinary beings being unlucky.

Even if there were any mistakes, Marlina had already prepared for it, all the blame would be pointed at her, and not a single stain would be left on Ansel.
