The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

It should not be underestimated.

What was supposed to be a celebration banquet where they were the main characters now felt somewhat out of place.

So the group could only huddle together and chat helplessly with their own people.

"Actually, I really felt that I wasn't the MVP this time..."

"I'm so frustrated," Dekan said.

Although everyone is praising him this time, he himself feels very depressed.

During his trip to the Kingdom of Landil, many things turned out contrary to his wishes.

It felt like several parties were plotting their own schemes and interfering with each other, ultimately leading to a chaotic situation where no one could predict how things would develop.

Dekan, by sheer chance, seized control of the situation.

It felt like a lucky accident.

It also felt like everything was fine even without using your full strength.

This strange luck pleased Dekan, but not entirely.

His sister didn't even get a chance to appear!

Looking back now, the real turning point actually began when Dekan met Clay.

Everything went too smoothly, which led to a series of subsequent plans and actions.

"You're not referring to that crazy bishop as the MVP, are you, meow?"

"Teacher Cat asked, perched on Tata's head."

It is no longer afraid of Tata.

Although it is aware that Tata is also a shady card maker, it seems to be much more innocent than Dekan at the moment.

There is no threat.

After getting to know the rest of the team, the third person Tata started to become close to was Teacher Cat.

She seemed very calm.

But his eyes couldn't hide the fluttering desire to touch Teacher Cat.

"Who else could it be? Klay gave away a huge wave of momentum, and Fahim was already halfway to death before he even appeared on the field."

Dekan highly values ​​Clay's performance as the best player on the field.

"Does Fahim still have any hope of escaping from you?"

Mier asked with a smile.

"If Clay hadn't made that epic teammate-sacrifice play at the end, Fahim might have actually escaped from me. But whether he could have escaped from Shadow Bishop, I don't know."

Dekan waved his hand dismissively, as if it didn't matter.

Mir nodded, but then seemed a little doubtful and asked:

How did you know it was the Shadow Bishop?

Dekan: "Just guessing."

The two then smiled without saying a word and remained silent for a while.

"If Clay knew Morion was still alive, would he go to the southern kingdoms and keep pestering Morion?"

Chloeux suddenly remembered something and asked.

He felt that if Clay heard about Morion, he might actually go to the southern kingdoms to track down Morion's whereabouts.

If these two were to meet, it would probably be quite entertaining.

However, Dekan shook his head, looking conflicted, and said:

"To be honest, I really can't figure Clay out anymore. Is he genuinely stupid, or is he just pretending...?"

After carefully reviewing the entire process, Dekan began to have a question.

Whenever he was incredibly lucky, Dekan would wonder if there was some inevitability in the randomness.

After all, low-probability events are unlikely to occur frequently.

Just in case.

Clay isn't stupid; he's the real Zhuge Liang, Clay.

Thinking about it this way, it's terrifying.

Fahim's death was truly deserved!

As a witness to the entire event, Chloeux understood Dekan's meaning and began to ponder.

But he soon had a question and asked:

"If Clay really wanted to help you, why didn't he just come to you and express his opinion?"

“If he comes to me directly to cooperate, I might not only not trust him, but I might also try to take advantage of him. So it’s too risky for him to come to me directly and reveal his identity, and it would also expose the identity he has painstakingly built up.”

Dekan explained with a helpless expression.

Chloeux nodded after listening.

He pondered, resting his chin on his hand, while muttering his reasoning:

"...So Clay arrived in the capital early, his primary goal being to disrupt the Church of Resurrection's plot against you, hoping to at least save you... He waited for us on the outskirts of the city until we entered Tata, during which time Clay secretly monitored us... Once we entered the casino, Clay deliberately pretended to be stupid... well, then dramatically lost the Episcopal Certificate to you, handing over all the intelligence and initiative to you like that, wouldn't that arouse your suspicion?"

Kroix finally understood Dekan's deduction.

"You know what, it actually makes a strange sense."

Dekan said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

If he and Clay were truly a willing buyer and a willing seller, then Fahim was completely tricked and killed by the two of them.

Even if one of the traitorous bishops had not yet appeared, Fahim truly had no chance to retaliate.

"Wouldn't that make us look like villains, completely lacking in martial ethics, setting traps to hunt down corrupt bishops?"

Mir listened to their reasoning and exclaimed in admiration.

"Let me put it this way, it's not just 'like,' our team's reputation is completely ruined!"

Dekan smiled bitterly, looking as if he had given up on himself.

The problem now is not just that the male members of the Beautiful Minds team killed Fahim in an extremely cruel way.

The girls' group also felt off.

Although the two women and the cat did not appear in the main battle.

However, the armies from the northern kingdoms did not appear at all.

Anyone with eyes to see would know that the forces from the northern kingdoms would definitely cause trouble for Dekan.

If this team emerges, the outcome of the final battle between Dekan and Fahim could very well change.

The fact that the teams from the northern countries could disappear so mysteriously is undoubtedly largely due to the efforts of the seemingly inactive "Beautiful Hearts" girls' team.

What is truly terrifying is—

All five members of the northern kingdoms' team became mentally impaired.

They are still in the hospital and can only say "Aba Aba".

The tests revealed that their brains had all been damaged by toxins.

Apart from the team leader, Arik, who was attacked by Klay, the other four were all ambushed and instantly killed.

It would be almost impossible for anyone other than an eighth-tier expert to do this.

It's hard to imagine how a group of girls could have accomplished this crime.

Moreover, no matter how many clues were investigated, it showed that the girls' group had done nothing wrong!

The situation of these people in the northern countries has absolutely nothing to do with them!

Clearly, the locations where the girls' group and the teams from the northern countries disappeared largely overlapped!

But it just so happens that it can perfectly clear one's name, leaving no room for doubt.

This perfect method of crime sent chills down the spines of the security forces of the Kingdom of Landil.

The final conclusion can only suggest that this unsolved case was most likely the work of the bishop who never appeared.

The report's findings immediately angered the eighth-tier powerhouses from the northern kingdoms who had come to their aid, causing them to leave.

To say this has nothing to do with these underworld people is just fooling the ghosts!

This conclusion is undoubtedly meant to fool idiots.

Or perhaps it's the Kingdom of Landil showing favoritism towards the Beautiful Minds Squad.

Or perhaps they simply don't dare to investigate any further.

Dekan seemed somewhat distressed by the team's current reputation.

"No, it's okay. Back when it was just me and Dekan, our reputation was already pretty bad. I never expected it to get any better!"

Cornelia comforted Dekan, saying.

"What you're saying sounds like 'marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog'..."

Mier couldn't help but complain.

"No, no!"

Cornelia seemed a little embarrassed after hearing Mir's words.

"Tata, I... let's go eat."

"it is good……"

Although Tata is still a little afraid of Cornelia and Mia, she has temporarily confirmed that these two dangerous older sisters will not harm her and will even protect her.

Those who are willing to protect her are all good people.

So Cornelia took Tata's hand and left.
