57 Assassinate Him (2/2)
With her hands behind her back, Rin flashes a gentle smirk.
”From his words, it's relatively clear he's not thrilled on fighting the enemy. However, his intention for why doesn't seem too clear.” Rin walked with soft steps. ”That being said, he'll most likely not assist us any of his troops.”
Helplessly sighing, Governor Tao's expression turns serious.
”Be sure to report to me if anything unusual happens. Even the slightest sign of something, you report to me.” He said sternly.
With flashing dark eyes, Rin's lips curl up into a wide grin.
”Don't worry Sir. I have everything under control.”
Looking at the boy's expression, Governor Tao's eyes slightly widen.
That expression and his words...what did they mean?
As the two walked away, they hadn't detected the figure sitting quietly on the captain's residence.
…
”Sir Delun, they're gone.” The emissary said as he entered the captain's office.
”Good. Did they seem suspicious of anything?” Captain Delun nervously asked.
”No, they didn't seem suspicious of anything.”
Gently releasing a sigh of relief, Captain Delun massages his temples wearily. Just as he was relaxing and settling down in his seat, the slim man who remained in his office spoke.
”Brother Delun, I don't mean to pry, but this new captain of theirs, he could be a problem in the near future toward our plans.”
”What are you suggesting?” Captain Delun raised his eyes to stare at the slim man.
Hiding a sly smirk, the slim man shifts his eyes toward the captain.
”I'm suggesting you get rid of the young captain to relieve your worries.”
”Get rid of him? But won't they be suspicious?” Captain Delun's eyes widened nervously.
”Not if you make it seem like the Tuhan's did it. After all, they reasonably assumed the Tuhan's men kidnapped and kill their last captain. You merely need to carry out the same execution.”
Captain Delun became silent, his lips pursing into a firm line. After a few moments of silence, the captain turns uneasily toward the emissary standing off to the side.
”Can you do it?” He asked anxiously.
”If Sir Delun orders it, then I'll do as Sir Delun says.” The emissary answered dully.
With flashing sinister eyes, the captain bobs his head. ”Then do it. Kill Captain Bai Lan tonight and make it appear as if the Tuhan's did it.”
”As Sir Delun orders.” The emissary lowered his head before jumping out the window and departing into the setting sky.
Settling back into his chair with a deep sigh, Captain Delun's eyes flashed darkly.
No matter what, that boy must be eliminated in order for their plan to work. With no captain, they will lose hope. With no hope, they will surrender and turn to him.
Quietly reassuring himself, the captain turns toward the papers on his desk and begins to work.
Unaware of the small brown falcon watching from a nearby tree...
