Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries

Chapter 137 Bathhouse Negotiation
Mary looked into Li En's blue eyes with a faint smile on her face.

The hot mist made each other's vision blurry, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the entire empty bathroom.

The angel sculptures carved on the wall are constantly spitting water into the pool, and the gurgling sound of water is like background music.

"It's best if you don't take the initiative to get involved. I'll help you keep the news of Catherine breaking off the engagement secret for now."

Mary said slowly.

"If that's the case, we don't have enough excuse to attack Blue Moon Territory."

Li En showed an embarrassed expression.

"No, we have good reasons."

Mary raised the corner of her mouth, "Lor's death is the best reason."

Li En was slightly stunned.

After wandering around, I found out that it was waiting for me here.

Mary had long known that she had saved Lor Jackson, and now, she wanted to kill him herself, putting her plan back on track. Catherine would become Lor Jackson's murderer, and Mary launched a war of revenge to punish Catherine, the true murderer of her third husband. She successfully regained her single status and seized the Blue Moon Territory, accepting the property as a widow, or supporting a "Jackson" as lord, circumventing the decisions of the empire's veteran nobles and ministers.

This was Mary's plan.

Li En discovered that Mary was a clever chess player who was gradually inducing him to break up with Catherine.

The first step was to let Nancy Stuart contact him, seduce him with her beauty, become his mistress, and create an emotional rift between him and Catherine.

In the second step, she went with the flow and recognized the legitimacy of Li En's inheritance documents despite the opposition of all foreign ministers. She also gave half of Yusof to Li En and tempted Li En with benefits.

But this was far from enough, because Catherine alone could make Li En a rising star in the empire. Although the Jackson family had undergone tremendous changes, its foundation remained. If Li En married Catherine, he would not only gain the approval of Grand Duke Moria, but also receive olive branches from other Creed families.

So, she still needs to make the third move.

The third step is to make Li En his husband or lover. With the support of the Southern Overlord, Li En will gain more power and status, which is equivalent to getting the support of half of the Frank family. The Frank family is not only a creed family, but also a royal family in the true sense. They are the real powerful people standing at the pinnacle of power in this empire.

In this way, Li En will not feel that he has lost anything because of losing Catherine, and he can also maintain close cooperation with Mary and stand on the same front.

Mary was sending a message that she could give him what Catherine could give him, and more.

Compared to an ignorant girl who has just started politics, the Southern overlord Mary is obviously a more suitable partner.

Anyone who receives this combo of moves will feel dizzy and willingly surrender.

But Li En saw it very clearly. The more Mary did this, the more it proved that she was afraid of Catherine.

This small role, which was unknown to her at the beginning, has now grown to a point where she has taken notice of it.

Catherine was able to avoid the red itchy plague, keep the Witch of Disease working for her, persuade Li En to accept her and become her helper, resolve Lor's crisis, and win the recognition of all the nobles in the Blue Moon Territory in a very short time. This power should not be underestimated.

No one knows whether allowing her to continue growing will make her become their biggest threat.

Mary doesn't like gambling. She prefers to win by playing it safe and nipping her opponent in the bud.

Blue Moon Territory is a place she must fight for, she needs to get it, she and Catherine have irreconcilable conflicts.

She wants Catherine and the Blue Moon Territory to be destroyed together.

From now on, the new Blue Moon Territory will only become a territory of the Southern Overlord.

The Blue Moon Mine will bring her endless economic benefits and war support.

As for the Green Shade Territory bordering the Blue Moon Territory, as long as Li En takes the initiative to submit to him, he can win this land without fighting.

Of course, if Li En is unwilling at that time, Mary doesn't mind taking other measures, such as coercion or inducement.

Mary noticed that Li En looked hesitant, and she glanced at the maids around her.

They invited Li En into the bathhouse and provided her with personal service.

Li En instantly felt like he had entered the Spider Cave.

But their skills are amazing, as if they have received professional training, comparable to the young models in top clubs.

"Master Li En, what do you think?"

Mary held up a glass of red wine in her right hand and watched with interest as the maids served Li En in the hot spring.

"Although I was able to save Lor Jackson, it doesn't mean I can kill him again. In fact, he was not saved by me. I just provided a special method."

Li En calmed down and said, "Building the Golden Goddess's church and believing in the Golden Goddess is the real reason why Lor Jackson was saved."

"Then destroy all the golden churches built by Blue Moon Territory. This is not a difficult task. We just need to communicate with the people of the Holy See and label them as heretical organizations."

Mary said slowly.

Li En swallowed his saliva. This woman was really cruel.

"If that's the case, you won't be able to build the Golden Church in Yusofa and Rose Territory, and you won't be able to benefit from her luck and wealth, right?"

Li En knew that Mary had ordered people to start looking for a suitable place in Yusofa to build the Golden Church.

"Besides, you might even offend an angel by doing this."

Mary held her chin with one hand and looked at Li En.

"What do you think we should do?"

Li En waved his hand and sent away the maids who were clinging to him, "Let Nancy come."

The maids looked at Mary, who nodded slightly. They left the bath, put on their clothes, and walked away in small steps.

Although Li En is a bit of a scumbag, he still has a basic bottom line and will not do anything out of line to these obedient women.

To Mary, they are tools, but to Li En, they are also living people.

From their entries, we can also see that they are a group of girls with tragic life experiences.

He is not driven by primitive desires and loses his humanity. This is probably the difference between him and the true aristocrats of this era.

Nancy was soon brought in by the maid.

She took off her maid uniform and walked into the bath.

Both Li En and Mary enjoyed the show.

In Mary's opinion, Lee En just disliked the maids because they were not pretty enough, but Nancy Stuart was indeed as beautiful as someone who walked out of a painting.

She fulfills all the fantasies of men.

Whether it is figure or face.

Negotiations continue.

Nancy Stuart was very happy that Lee En could resist temptation and keep herself clean. Although she knew that she could never become Lee En's wife, she still had a strong possessive desire for Lee En and did not want to share her with others.

"Can you say it now?"

Mary took a sip of her wine.

Li En also took the wine glass from the waiter's tray, shook it gently, and fed it into Nancy Stuart's mouth.

"If you build churches of the Golden Goddess in both Yusofa and Rose Territory, and let those poisoned like Lor pray for blessings, the goddess will treat her believers equally. However, her power is not infinite. This blessing will continue to decrease as the number of people increases, until Lor's life returns to normal. Do you understand what I mean?"

Li En did not lie, but he hid a conspiracy in his true words.

Let Mary build the Golden Goddess's church on her territory. The more believers the goddess has, the stronger the forest spirit Soraya, who has a contract with her, will be. The stronger she is, the stronger she will be.

As for my brother-in-law, Lor Jackson, I'm sorry, he has to be sacrificed.

Even if he died, he could still be transformed into a zombie through the virus and live in another form.

Li En has no psychological burden towards his brother-in-law.

No matter how smart Mary was, she could never have imagined that Li En would contract an angel as a slave.

Therefore, she would not know the huge conspiracy hidden in this information.

However, Mary is a devout believer in the God of Tiger, and she does not want to build a church of the Golden Goddess in Rose Territory, even though it is rumored that the Golden Goddess is the secret angel of the God of Tiger.

However, this rumor has not been recognized by the Holy See, nor has it been recorded in the holy scriptures, so its credibility is not high.

"I promised to build the Golden Church in Yusofah."

Mary said that this was her original plan. She would let the soldiers try to believe in the Golden Goddess.

But she would not become a follower of the Golden Goddess.

Li En knew that in order to make Mary make further concessions and allow the Golden Church to flourish throughout the Rose Territory, he needed to make another key move.

"If you want Lol Jackson to die quickly, you have to speed up."

Lee En stroked Nancy Stuart's cheek and spoke to Mary in a calm tone.

Mary looked at the scene of the two people being intimate, and recalled Li En's passionate kiss just now. She felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart, but this throbbing was quickly replaced by other emotions.

After she witnessed Lee En and Nancy Stuart's lover relationship, she left the bathhouse to them.

Mary put on her clothes with the help of the maid and turned to leave.

Nancy Stuart watched her departing figure and asked in a low voice, "Lady Mary, didn't you ask about Sting Little?"

"Not a word."

Lee En replied.

Nancy Stuart realized that Mary had long wanted to get rid of Sting Little, and this time she was just using a knife to kill someone, so she took the matter lightly.

Half an hour later.

After finishing, Li En and Nancy Stuart left Black Rose Castle and took a carriage to Blueberry Manor.

Their performance was reported to Mary by the maid.

Although she only got a side description from the maid, Mary still showed her interest in Li En.

Afterwards, Nancy Stuart asked Gillian Mora to find Elena, the current acting deacon of the Rose Thorn.

The Rose Thorn now has two acting deacons, both of whom were once Nancy Stuart's deputies. There is no deep friendship between them, only a relationship of interest.

Elena is much older than Nancy Stuart and used to be her teacher, but she is a very cold-blooded person and is very harsh even to her students.

Nancy Stuart had received many lashes and scoldings at her hands.

But Nancy Stuart dislikes another deputy, Melinda, even more than Elena.

Melinda is known as the Skinner. Like Nancy Stuart, she possesses extremely high assassin talent and has become a five-star bloodthirsty assassin at a young age. Although she has just entered the stage and is at the initial stage of the five-star bloodthirsty assassin, there is still a certain gap between her and Nancy Stuart, but she is already a leader among her peers, and her reputation is even louder than Nancy Stuart.

She earned the title of "Skinner" at the age of 16 because she was extremely bloodthirsty. Every time she carried out a mission, she would peel off the skin of the target, bring it back, and make it into adult leather hats. There were no less than four-digit hats in her collection room, making her a true Thousand-Man Killer.

At the age of 18, she had already earned the title of "Walking Devil" and her name was on the Empire's wanted list with a bounty of 30 gold coins.

At the age of 19, she gave birth to a child unexpectedly, and Nancy Stuart witnessed her killing the newborn baby.

It was this incident that made Nancy Stuart hate Melinda so much.

Both Elena and Melinda were the ones that Mary focused on training. Even if Nancy Stuart was lost, the entire Rose Thorn could continue to operate under their control in an orderly manner without any mistakes.

Nancy Stuart has already drawn up a new list of spies to be sent to Green Shade Territory and Blue Moon Territory, and plans to hand it over to Elena.

Although Elena is old, she still maintains an elegant figure and beautiful appearance, and looks like an old lady.

She was wearing an intricate and gorgeous long dress and a dark blue feather hat. She got out of the carriage, supported by two young assassin girls.

The vivacious Jillian Mora leads the way.

"Mrs. Elena, this is Blueberry Manor. Master Li En has many beautiful maids here."

Elena's external identity is the mistress of Count Sting Little. Although Sting Little is dead, she is still respected as Madam and enjoys a certain social status.

Sting Little's death did not bring her much of a blow. After all, she herself did not like Sting Little, a guy with a head full of pornographic garbage, and the two of them were just simply using their relationship to exploit each other.

She also knew that Lee En Moriah was now Mary's "new favorite", so when Nancy Stuart asked her to go to Blueberry Manor, she agreed.

Her appearance can also clear Lee En Moriah and Nancy Stuart of the suspicion of killing Sting Little.

A tea party is being held at the manor, and Nancy Stuart has invited many aristocratic mistresses, who, to some extent, all belong to the same camp.

This made Elena's arrival not seem abrupt.

The nobles' mistresses all looked surprised when they saw Sting Lit's mistress Elena.

They thought that Lee En and Sting Little were at odds, and that Nancy Stuart and Elena would probably also be at odds.

Until Nancy smiled and reached out, hugged Elena, and expressed her regret for the death of Count Sting Little.

The ladies also offered their condolences.

"Mrs. Elena, don't be too sad, everything will be fine."
