Chapter 672 An Urgent Task (Part Two)


    "It seems necessary to send someone to keep an eye on Blood Lord Leo and monitor his every

    movement. He has to be prevented from messing up again," Alyssa suggested after thinking for a


    while.


    "Then who do you suggest we send? Blood Lord Leo is a master at the Supernal Stage. Ordinary spirit


    maniptors are no match for him and are not the right people for the job," Woods said. He couldn''t


    figure out who could be sent to watch over Blood Lord Leo.


    "Of course, you are right about ordinary spirit maniptors," said Alyssa. "They are not the right people


    for the job. But you seem to forget something very important. It seems you underestimate the power of


    women and how easily they can bring down a great man." She then paused for a moment. Just enough


    to let that sink in. Then nodding with satisfaction, she added, "It should be a cinch. Let''s find a girl


    within our ranks. A slick girl, clever enough to y Leo like a fiddle, and have him do whatever she


    wants." From the look on her face, you could tell she already had a suitable candidate in mind.


    "Are you thinking of letting Laney go and have a try?" Woods — Alyssa''s brother, alongside whom she


    had fought for a long time, immediately guessed what she was thinking.


    "You got it spot-on. If you need someone to y hooker, look no further. Laney is the real deal," Alyssa


    enthused.


    However, Woods was doubtful and did not seem to agree with Alyssa. He voiced out his thoughts. "I''m


    afraid it might be a dangerous idea for us to do this. Leo might not be as gullible and easy to deal with


    as we think. What if Laney''s cover is blown, and Leo learns of what we have been scheming. You can


    imagine his anger and disappointment with us. That will mean the end of trust between him and us.


    Such a fallout is not something you would wish for, I guess. Of course, I am not doubting Laney''s


    abilities. I believe in her, but after her mission to kill Rocky failed for the second time, I have a feeling


    that there is something wrong with her." Since Laney''s return to the camp, Woods had talked to her


    several times. Somehow, he had a feeling, she looked a bit rusty — a far cry from her usual self. In a


    way, she seemed different, even though she had not done anything particrly. Only that Woods could


    not put a name to what was wrong with her, nor could he find any evidence to support his suspicions.


    Although Woods was vocal in expressing his concerns, Alyssa still believed Laney was the best


    candidate for the job. She tried to convince Woods. "Laney knows how to maneuver her way through


    tough situations, once she has her eyes set on something. Trust me, she may have suffered a small


    setback, but that only serves a motivation for her next role. I''m pretty sure, she''s yearning for another


    chance to prove herself. Among my former students, she is someone I know well enough. She may not


    be a spirit maniptor, but once she has her sights trained on a goal, she is capable of what we might


    never achieve with a thousand soldiers. Let us trust her on this and see if she can pull off something.


    I''m pretty confident about her. Of course, Rocky was just lucky to survive. But Leo may not be that


    fortunate. You can bet on her to go in there and rip the jackass apart! Anyway, what we need at the


    moment is not to finish Leo off. But we ought to make sure that from now on, he will only do ording


    to our wishes. We cannot afford any of his blunders anymore," Alyssa said coldly. Indeed, she was so


    dissatisfied with Leo''s conduct in the battle with Rocky. She just couldn''t get over it yet.


    Having made up her mind, Alyssa sent someone to summon Laney.


    Not long after, Laney, slim and graceful as usual, walked into the camp.


    At once, anyone could tell she was a good bet for the task. Her ck hair set in a bob with one side


    tucked in. With a rxed, casual look, she walked in with her head held high. A certain rhythm to the


    clicking of her heels, she waltzed on with a graceful, effortless saunter, her curves, and tenderness


    showing with each step she took. Slightly, the corners of her lips lifted, curving into an enchanting


    smile. Like bright orbs of fire, her eyes glowed with warmth. Looking into those eyes, you could see into


    her soul—a soul so deep and pure like a pool of gold. The sparkle of innocence and natural beauty


    made her an irresistible queen— the kind of a girl that could melt a man''s heart even before she spoke.


    For such a girl, a man would fly to space, just to write her name on the moon ande back. As she


    watched Laney walk in, even Alyssa wondered how on earth Rocky had not given in to the girl''s


    seduction.


    "Your Royal Highness." Laney bowed to Woods and Alyssa in deference.


    "I have an urgent task for you toplete immediately." Alyssa went straight to the point.


    "Whatever you want ma''am, I''m all here at your service!" Laney promised politely, her beautiful eyes


    fixed on Alyssa in respect.


    "The Blood Lord Leo of the Roaring me Empire disobeyed me and failed to execute my n of


    attack. Unfortunately, Rocky caught him napping and inflicted heavy losses on the whole army." The


    mere mention of Rocky''s name stung at Alyssa''s heart, reigniting the fire that had always burned inside


    of her. It was like adding gasoline to hot coals. Her fists began to clench. A fit of rage gripped her heart


    so viciously that in a moment, even her knuckles turned white from clenching. Right there and then,


    she promised herself she''d find that prick, no matter what it took. And if she got hold of him, she''d


    make him pay a dear price. She felt she could rip him to pieces, yanking off pieces of flesh with her


    bare hands as if they were the powerful ws of a beast.


    However, since thest battle in the deste vige, she hadn''t figured out what Moon Fox meant by


    saying that. She had tried to get more information from the beast but to no avail, which bothered her so


    much. To win the battle against the Holy Dragon Empire, they had to get rid of Rocky— their most


    stubborn obstacle. He was no doubt a source of concern in their quest for victory. If they could get rid of


    him, his death would also put paid to all other threats, once and for all. Yet, strangely, Moon Fox


    warned her not to harm Rocky in any way. And it bothered her what would happen if she ignored Moon


    Fox. She was unsure of what to do for the next couple of days.
