Chapter 907: 283. Loud Conspiracy_2

Benjamin Jelani saw Lonco’s expression stiffen slightly and chuckled lightly,

“By the way, Lonco, let me remind you.”

Benjamin Jelani paused for half a second, speaking as if with good intentions yet as if he were knocking on bamboo,

“Researching Noland Lee Jarvis’s Dark Cloud is not your only option. If you can think of a way to make Noland Lee Jarvis use the Wild Magic to summon the Dark Cloud a few more times, that could certainly speed up the ‘Ascension Fortress’s’ process of taming this Magic Spell.

“Once this Magic Spell is transformed into Local Magic, then Hotams can, according to the established methods of magic research, delve into the spell blueprints for this Magic Spell.”

Benjamin Jelani smirked with a touch of pride,

“But unfortunately, Lonco, Noland Lee Jarvis must now be suffering the pain of a Magic backlash…”

“What?!” Lonco was stunned,

“Your Excellency, what do you mean by that? Why would Jarvis suffer from Magic backlash? Doesn’t he know that you are about to take over control of the Dark Cloud?”

“Who knows, Lonco. In any case, when I was seizing control of the Dark Cloud, that guy Noland Lee Jarvis just wouldn’t back down.”

Benjamin Jelani snickered carelessly,

“He probably thought he could compete with me. He did not actively relinquish control of the Dark Cloud but chose to clash with me head-on.

“You can imagine what his end was like.

“I took his Dark Cloud away, and he suffered a severe Magic backlash. I am sure that after this lesson, he will not dare to use that Wild Magic so readily.

“You might found it quite difficult to make him use Wild Magic more frequently.

“So, you might as well honestly entrust me with the task of sealing the Dark Cloud. This could be your only chance to get your hands on the Dark Cloud.”

Lonco thought about it for a moment, his expression turning slightly grim.

He was not foolish and quickly caught on.

With an unusual look on his face, Lonco asked in a muffled voice,

“Your Excellency, did you seize his Dark Cloud directly without giving Jarvis any signal?”

Benjamin Jelani’s smile faded, and his tone stiffened,

“What? Are you teaching me how to do things? According to the secrecy pact signed between my actual body and Hotams, I must not appear within anyone else’s sight. Are you suggesting that I risk violating the pact to give Noland Lee Jarvis a warning? What gives you the right to question my actions taken in accordance with the pact?”

Lonco’s eyes flickered.

After a few seconds of contemplation and an apologetic bend of the waist, he said,

“My apologies, Your Excellency. I misunderstood. Indeed, there was no need for you to warn Noland Lee Jarvis before taking the Dark Cloud.”

“Hmph. It’s good that you understand,” Benjamin Jelani snorted,
