Chapter 2565


    tinum extended an invitation. “Pleasee in, Mr. Cook. I''ve prepared some nice tea. Let us have a


    quick chat.”


    “Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. tinum.”


    Den got all self-conceited for being able to enjoy some expensive tea in tinum''s room.


    Is this the luxury that Centurions get to enjoy? It feels great.


    The two of them chatted for a bit before tinum cut to the chase. “What good news do you bring with


    you today, Mr. Cook?”


    Denughed. “Your n worked wonders, Mr. tinum. Phoenixion willunch an ambush on that


    neer tonight. You can get the loot after both parties are worn from battle.”


    tinum smiled. “It''s all thanks to your help, Mr. Cook. My n wouldn''t have worked if not for you!


    You''re key to this n. You don''t have to worry. I won''t forget about your contributions.”


    All of a sudden, Den added, “Nheless, I feel obliged to remind you of something else, Mr.


    tinum.”


    “Oh? Speak your mind, Mr. Cook.” tinum studied Den with curiosity.


    “There might be an alternative way in which the situation might develop,” Den surmised.


    “What could it be?”


    “Do you think that they might''ve noticed someone sowing discord between them and pretended to


    ambush the neer just so they could lure us out?”


    tinum smiled. “Why would you say so, Mr. Cook?”


    Den exined, “It''s obvious that Phoenix doesn''t believe me when I told her the neer killed


    three guards. While she did im to be leading her men on a crusade against the neer, I think


    they''re actually going to verify the situation with him. If that''s the case, they would very likely realize


    something was wrong, which would lead them to stall their assault. I suspect that they coordinated the


    ambush on the neer after her subordinates were killed to lure the mastermind out of hiding.”


    tinum reaffirmed, “You sure pay a lot of attention to details, Mr. Cook. However, you don''t have to


    worry about that, for I already have it sorted out.”


    “Oh?” Den seemed surprised. “How did you solve the problem, Mr. tinum?”


    tinum disclosed, “I snuck into the neer''s Centuria and assassinated two of his guards. The


    me was then put on Phoenix. The neer would definitely assume that Phoenix was the


    perpetrator. By the time they meet, they would already have the preconception that the other was


    feigning innocence by calling for a crusade! Given Phoenix''s temper, she wouldn''t possibly verify the


    situation with the newbie peacefully. Therefore, a conflict between them would be inevitable.”


    Having a grasp on the situation, Den gave tinum a thumbs up. “Haha, this is such a great plot,


    Mr. tinum! I''m impressed!”


    “I have one more favor to ask of you, Mr. Cook,” tinum requested. “Please update me on their


    losses if a battle broke out tonight. I need to get a hold of details to plot my next move.”


    Den happily agreed. “No problem! Leave it to me! All right, I''ll be taking my leave now. I need to


    hurry back lest Phoenixes to me.”


    tinum said, “Sure, I won''t keep you any longer. A three-day celebration is due after our sess. By


    then, you shall be an esteemed guest of mine!”


    “Sure!”


    The two of them had an amiable chat.


    tinum even sent him off from Centuria in person.


    After seeing Den off, tinum turned to give an order to his subordinates in tinumion. “None of


    this is to be revealed to anyone under any circumstance. Those who leaked this will be executed!”


    His subordinates answered fearfully, “Absolutely, Sir!”

    tinum then turned his attention to the guard he had chided just now.


    “I''m sorry for what I did just now, Jeffrey. I had to scold you due to the circumstances. Let''s see... As a


    token of my apology, you will be given an extra one-fifth of your monthly stipend.”
