Chapter 528 (1/2)

After getting married, Wood’s life changed a lot.

Now he no longer spent seven or eight hours doing sculpture work in the workshop. Instead, he was busy at home every morning or taking a walk with his wife. Then he went to the workshop in the afternoon and went home early in the evening. Neighbors near the workshop could no longer see the light that was always on at night but saw Wood’s face glowing with health instead. Wood’s smile became more and more vivid, and he no longer kept others a thousand miles away.

Everyone was very happy about his changes. Even North Wind felt happy too.

Of course, the reason why she was happy was different from what others thought.

Others were happy because Wood had become happier while she was happy because Wood had shown his weaknesses.

When Wood and North Wind first met, Wood was a very cautious person. He was very careful even when facing his companions from his motherland, but after getting married, he obviously relaxed a lot. His weaknesses could be seen everywhere in his ordinary life, and his behavior had changed a lot.

If North Wind wanted to kill him, he would have been dead by now.

But North Wind did not want to kill him so quickly. She was still a stranger at present and had to take advantage of Wood’s relationship to take root in Pyroxene Town.

When she became very familiar with Pyroxene Town, Wood would be definitely killed by her.

But as the days went by, she became doubtful again.

Wood did not behave like a betrayer.

If he had really betrayed them, why would he live a stable life with North Wind and have no intentions of hiding somewhere?

Wasn’t he afraid that his secret of betrayal would be discovered? Was he so contemptuous of North Wind?

North Wind felt very upset at present.

Being underrated was actually a good thing for spies. If the enemy belittled those spies, it was easy for the enemy to show their weaknesses and they would also make mistakes at that time. So spies were good at hiding their actual strength.

However, being looked down upon by companions would make them feel unhappy especially since Wood was North Wind’s husband!

When North Wind first became a spy, she had heard about Wood’s story. Wood had acted as a court bard, provoking contradictions in the royal family of the Duchy of Thunder, and successfully triggering a small-scale rebellion. He had sent the most talented son of the Grand Duke of Thunder to hell, removing the potential threat.

He had also traveled thousands of miles and crossed the entire Ancient Forest when there were many enemies following him, successfully delivering an important message from the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs. He was badly injured and almost died. Even the priest was surprised and praised him for his spirit. If not for his spirit having transcended his body, he would have died on the road.

Wood was a character worshipped by the younger generation of spies, and North Wind was no exception.

So after strict training and repeated screening, North Wind was selected to finish the task of killing Wood. She was shocked when she learned of her task before leaving.

How was this possible? Why would Wood betray them? That was impossible!

When she calmed down, she thought about it and felt a little lucky.

If Wood really had betrayed them, it would be a rare honor for her who had worshipped him before to be able to punish him in person.

Though, she did not want the glory at all.

When she arrived at Pyroxene Town and met Wood, she actually found the former trump spy had become a little weak now.

It was not that his strength had become weak; he was still very powerful. Even on the next day after he married North Wind, he had stepped into the advanced level and became a respected person who could raise his head high when going in and out of the king’s court.

The “weakness” felt by North Wind was that his ability as a spy had become weak.

He was still able to gather information, but his sensitivity to information was reduced. His alertness to danger was reduced, and he gradually became less like a spy, but more like a real artist.

Those changes showed slowly after he got married. Although only a few signs had been shown, for North Wind who was good at observing, what those signs had predicted could be taken as a fact.

This Wood was not what the Wood that North Wind had imagined.

She thought she would have to match his wit and bravery, and perhaps she would even have to spare every effort to kill him. She also imagined that her mission would be easily exposed, and then she would be killed without a fight by Wood. What’s more, she imagined that Wood had not betrayed them and that everything had just been a misunderstanding. What she thought about most though was that Wood had not betrayed them.

Unfortunately, all her imaginations were wrong.

Wood had really betrayed them, and he was getting weaker and weaker. He was no longer a trump spy who had a strong sensitivity and alertness.

Seeing him like this, North Wind was both happy and angry.

She was happy that her task would be easily finished. The reason why she felt angry was that she saw her idol in a degraded state.

Who was Wood? He was the best spy in the Mifata Federation and the idol of the younger generation.

How could he become so weak! How could he lose the sensitivity and alertness that a spy should have?

Being looked down upon by him who had become so weak now made her furious, and she could not help but want to roar.

Was there any reason for that? As an excellent spy who always kept a strong sensitivity and alertness, how could North Wind be looked down upon by someone who was becoming more and more careless, more and more dull and less vigilant!

Damn! What the f*ck!

But North Wind could not show her anger nor could she show any signs of her emotions.

Wood had become weak now, but that didn’t mean he was really trash. On the contrary, he may regain his spirits and become as sharp as a cat, as cunning as a fox, and as fierce as a wolf at any time.

Anyway, he was still very powerful, and his past brilliant achievements lay here.

Those who dared to belittle him were either having problems with their eyes or with their brains.

North Wind’s eyes and brain were normal, so she never dared to show any suspicions. She honestly acted like a younger generation spy sent to assist Wood in his work.
