Chapter 337 Start of a Conspiracy 1/2 (2/2)

”Come! Follow me!”

Rhode hid in the shadow and waited for Waltz and his men to leave the area. Then, he stepped out and let out a sneer. At this moment, a slender figure hopped out.

”Yooo, Master. How's everything?”

”Everything's good.”

Rhode twitched his brows and replied. Gillian delightfully narrowed her eyes and revealed a smile.

”That's my Master indeed. But… is this fine? We can use this bait in our hands to make them back out from the competition. This way, those idiots will be so furious, won't they?”

”I don't think that's a good idea.”

Rhode thought otherwise and shook his head. It wasn't that Rhode didn't think of this possibility, but he was sure that Waltz wasn't as straightforward as Barter. Even if Rhode managed to make Waltz back out on the competition, the latter would definitely find opportunities to find trouble with him, just like what happened today. Rhode would never allow such things to happen because he was sure that Waltz was holding in a stomach full of rage to be unleashed in the competition tomorrow. No matter how well Waltz restrained himself, he would possibly fight to his death with Rhode.

And this was what Rhode anticipated.

Since Waltz injured Rhode's men, he would need to pay the price. Moreover, since both of them had already fallen out, then there was no point for Waltz to continue living anymore.

Rhode came to a halt in the dark alley. Old Walker, who was concealed under a black cloak, stood in the shadow of the last warehouse. He scanned around to ensure that the coast was clear and scuttled to Rhode.

”Hey kid, what happened exactly? I heard we were ambushed? I went looking for you in the campsite and that angel lady directed me here… What happened? Who has the guts to start a fight in Golden City… Are they sick of living?”

”Alright, Old Walker. I didn't bring you here to listen to your boring grumbles.”

Rhode interrupted. Then, he beckoned to the old man to lean over.

”I called you here for an important mission…”

Rhode lowered his voice into Old Walker's ear. The latter opened his eyes wide and after Rhode finished giving his instructions, his eyes were as huge as bronze bells.

”K-Kid, is this for real? All this that you said… is for real?”

”That's right. Follow my instructions and I want you to spread this news across the entire Golden City before midnight!”

Old Walker shivered involuntarily to Rhode's scheming tone and ice-cold expression.

”Alright, I will think of a way. But kid, what's the purpose of this? We don't have evidence, right?”

”We don't need evidence and I don't intend to reason things out like those bullied children crying their way home for their mummies. That's why you only need to heed my instructions and ensure that everyone knows about this matter… What happens next is up to me.”

Old Walker lifted his head and looked into Rhode's eyes with a complicated expression. Then, he nodded firmly.

”Alright then, kid. Leave this to me.”
