Chapter 168: Ripping off the veil (2/2)

Belinda’s skin was smooth and soft. Han Shuo felt that the sensations were very comfortable when he placed his hand on her skin to wake her. It was like touching an expensive piece of satin.

Belinda’s long lashes fluttered as her clear eyes opened. She first scanned her surroundings in confusion, then alighted on Emily and Han Shuo with surprise.

If you’re not reading this on volaretranslations, this chapter has been stolen and is incomplete.

The confusion in her eyes immediately faded away as Belinda rapidly recognized where she was. Her clear eyes sparkled with ice as her voice turned soft, but threatening, “Who are you to dare capture me? My Calamity Church won’t let you get away with this. You’ll regret what you did today!”

“No need for you to worry about that. What business do you have in Valen City? Apart from assassinating Clark, what other evil plots are you up to?” Emily looked coldly at Belinda and started her interrogation.

“Do you think I’d tell you? You’re wasting your effort.” Belinda looked disdainfully at Emily.

Belinda suddenly noticed the veil in Emily’s hand and thought of something. Her previously tender voice became shrill for the first time. Panicked, she glared at Emily and said loudly, “You’ll pay the price for taking off my veil!”

After watching for a while, Han Shuo walked impatiently in front of Belinda, his voice chilling, “Tell us what you came here for, or I’ll give you another birthmark on your right cheek.”

Belinda’s facial expression changed when she heard these words and she gave a high pitched giggle, “You’ll be sorry for this!”

Her previously red flushed face abruptly drained of all color as her body stiffened instantly. Her breathing slowing to a shallow pace and her eyes shutting once more, she seemed to have fallen into a coma as all her bodily functions went into hibernation.

Han Shuo was dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events. He looked at Emily ruefully, “She seems to have taken some medicine and fainted again. This is a bit tricky, what do you think we should do?”

Emily came over and released a dark magic into Belinda’s body. She then closed her eyes and thought for a bit, but could only lower her head to sigh, “The Calamity Church is certainly difficult to deal with. There’s no point in interrogating or torturing her if we can’t wake her up.”

“So what do you say?” Han Shuo spread out his hands and backed away in resignation.

Thinking for a moment, Emily replied, “I’ll report what’s happened here and see what the senior executives say. In addition, notify the forest trolls that the siege weapons they’ve sold to the merchants seem to have been secretly transported to Valen City. I need to go gather some intelligence to see if I can obtain tangible evidence.”

“Then what should I do?” Han Shuo asked.

“Heh heh, there’s nothing for you to do at the moment. Do whatever you’d like. I’ll come notify you immediately if anything happens.” Emily looked at Han Shuo with a smile.

Nodding, Han Shuo responded, “That sounds good. I’ll stay in the secret chamber and start practicing high level necromancy magic. I’ll also see if I can find a way to wake Belinda and get something out of her.”

“Whatever you’d like, but behave! Don’t you take Belinda to bed whilst I’m not here!” Emily was about to leave when she suddenly thought of something and suddenly turned back to glare ferociously.

“Eh, I’m not the type to take advantage of others. Don’t worry!” Han Shuo smiled ruefully.

“Humph, and you say you’re not. That’s exactly how you got me!” Emily glared fiercely and then seemed to remember something. “However, Belinda’s black birthmark probably has affected your feelings towards her. I don’t think I have anything to worry about.”

Emily was obviously proud of herself after saying these words and left happily.
