Fighting you is like being in jail.

Don't panic! Everything is going according to plan!

Leng Chang's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, as if he had seen hope. According to his guess, there would be absolutely no unexpected events.

Chapter 247 I, I, I am the god of conspiracy—!

In the alleys of the slums.

Elsa walked gracefully through the trunk with a light laugh, her high-slit, open-chested cheongsam-style dress swaying with her movements, while her black and red cape fluttered behind her.

"Hmm~, it's about time."

She smiled, her high heels clicking on the floor of the slum.

However, after walking only a few steps, they discovered a strange man walking towards them. He was dressed in clothes they had never seen before, with black hair and black eyes. He walked with his head down, his back hunched, and his hands in his pockets.

It is cold and normal.

His steps were unsteady, showing no signs of training.

He looked very ordinary, but his cleanliness was clearly not what one would expect from someone from a slum.

It was very clean, even cleaner than some nobles.

Elsa sniffed, confirming that the other person was definitely not an ordinary person. The soapy smell on him was not something a poor person should have; it was a cleaning tool that even nobles would find difficult to use.

And it's very high-end, otherwise the fragrance wouldn't be here at this time.

However, this has nothing to do with me.

She slowly stopped and carefully observed the person who had come.

"Oh dear, are you trying to kill me?"

A voice filled with laughter suddenly interrupted Leng Chang's steps. He slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of dark eyes that flickered with bewilderment.

"Me??"

"That's right. Although you hid it well, the ferocity you couldn't hide said it all."

Elsa smiled, her eyes possessive and almost impatient.

In the narrow alley, Leng Chang blinked at Elsa, who was blocking his way, looking completely bewildered and confused.

"You've got it wrong. Why would I kill you for no reason?"

As soon as she finished speaking, before Leng Chang could make any further plans, Elsa pulled out a dagger, licked her lips, and looked on with great anticipation.

In an instant, she arrived in front of Leng Chang, holding the curved knife high above her head, its cold light flashing across the blade.

"Let me see what your intestines look like!"

However, just as the scimitar was being swung with all its might, it was slashing at Leng Chang's stomach at an unseen speed.

only.

Her knife was fast, but Leng Chang's slap was even faster!

Snapped!

A strong, powerful slap landed on Elsa's face instantly, the loud sound echoing throughout the alley.

Her attacking scimitar also paused at that moment, frozen in place, looking at Leng Chang with confusion and doubt.

Leng Chang's face was beaming with unparalleled joy, his skin wrinkled from laughing so hard that lines appeared at the corners of his eyes.

"The human body is amazing, isn't it?"

"what?"

Whoosh-!

Another slap echoed through the air.

Snapped!

The slap landed hard on Elsa's face again, and the loud sound rang out once more.

What was even more ferocious was that blood was spilling from the corner of her mouth, and her eyes flashed with a fierce glint, filled with a kind of ruthlessness.

Just as she was about to fight back and her scimitar was about to strike Leng Chang again, Leng Chang lowered his head slightly, the shadow of his bangs obscuring his eyes.

A pair of dark, gleaming eyes stared intently at Elsa.

will die!

This knife will kill me!

Elsa froze, then abruptly stepped back, leaping to create distance and watching warily. Her entire body was covered in bristling hair, like an old cat panting.

Cold, shivering, cold sweat trickling down my cheeks and dripping from my chin.

"Go back and tell Roswaal that the mission failed."

A cold, distant voice slowly rose, sending chills down Elsa's spine.

"..."

She didn't answer, she just watched silently.

After a brief silence, Leng Chang frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "No... perhaps killing you here would be more perfect. That way... there would be no further threat."

He nodded in satisfaction as soon as he finished speaking.

This is arguably the best way: kill him here, and everything else will be over.

perfect!

"laugh--!"

sizzle...

Leng Chang's arms, hanging limply, crackled with electricity, and his eyes shone as he stared at Elsa before him.

"That depends on whether you have the ability. The guts of the strong are..."

Elsa felt an extreme unease, a strong sense of death enveloping her.

boom--!

A violent gust of wind whistled past his ears, his pupils contracted, and he didn't even notice when Leng Chang approached; all he felt was the impact of a fist slamming into his body.

boom!

A massive impact occurred, and she shuddered, looking down in disbelief to see that her abdomen had been completely pierced.

Blood was splattered all over the ground, his body was trembling, and his consciousness was becoming increasingly blurred.

That's enough!

Suddenly, a powerful male voice rang out.

What catches the eye is a head of fiery red, medium-length hair, a white knight's outfit, and a heavy one-handed sword at her waist.

Reinhard van Astreya.

Born into the Astrea family, known as the "Sword Saints," and belonging to the Royal Guard Knights. He is the current "Sword Saint" and possesses the strongest strength in the human world.

He watched Leng Chang and Erza's battle warily, frowning as he asked, "Although I don't know what happened, could you explain the situation first? I'm a city guard; you can discuss anything with me."

“Reinhard? Perfect timing, this guy is the Bowel Hunter.”

Leng Chang withdrew his fist, grabbed Elsa, and walked towards Reinhard.

"What?! The Bowel Hunter!?"

Reinhard was startled and quickly looked Elsa over before confirming the situation.

"Indeed, in that case, can you hand her over to me?"

"No problem. Here you go, just remember to lock it properly. This guy has the protection of a vampire, so even though he looks like he's about to die, he'll recover soon."

Leng Chang casually tossed Elsa to Reinhard, even offering a serious reminder.

"Thank you! I'll make the arrangements. And thank you for reminding me."

Reinhard grabbed Elsa to confirm that she hadn't escaped, and looked at Leng Chang with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

"it is good."

After saying that, Leng Chang turned and walked towards the slums.

As he turned around, a smug smile appeared on his face.

Fantastic! Everything is going in my favor!

Although Reinhard's sudden appearance interrupted the battle, it effectively restrained two destabilizing factors that could have affected the plan.

As long as no fighting occurs at the stolen goods storage facility, it won't involve too much.

In this way, Emilia retrieved the badge with Simmel's help, but since there wasn't much of a bond between them, there wouldn't be any further developments.

Then Simmel takes Frilian on a leisurely honeymoon trip, and Felt remains undiscovered by Reinhard, while Elsa is imprisoned by Reinhard.

Splashy!

The story will not develop further after that. Rem and Ram can live a carefree life in the Earl's mansion, while Roswaal drowns in his fantasy, clutching the prophecy book.

Even the selection of the throne would be delayed indefinitely due to insufficient numbers.

Hehehehehe!

This is a perfect plan!

I, Leng Chang, am the god of conspiracy!

"Everything is going according to plan!"

He grinned triumphantly, his eyes gleaming with the light of victory.

Then they discovered that Simmel had retrieved the badge, captured Felt, and handed her over to the city guards. On the way, they also encountered Reinhard, who was carrying Elsa and had just returned to report for duty.

When Leng Chang learned the situation, he was completely stunned. Watching a group of people exchanging information amicably, he couldn't help but twist, split, writhe, roll, and growl in a sinister voice.

"Damn it! I, I, my conspiracy genius—! All this planning has been for nothing!"

"Damn those conspiracies! They've caused so much harm. I'm quitting conspiracies from today onward!"

"Damn it—!"

Chapter 248 I, Leng Chang, still have a chance to achieve victory!

But it doesn't matter!

I, Leng Chang, still have a chance to achieve victory!

Felt has not yet been discovered by Reinhard as a candidate, so his plan is safe.

Although there were some minor discrepancies in the process, the final result was fine.

That's right!

As long as the result is satisfactory...

I, Common Cold, have only one very simple and singular thought... just this one! — Victory, then domination! That's all... as for the process and methods... they are not important!

Leng Chang, hiding in a wooden crate in the alley opposite the guard's main gate, observed the situation at the gate through the gaps.

As Snake's best successor, he would not be discovered due to his hasty disguise.

Everything is still in the planning stages!

Thinking of this, a wild smile gradually appeared on Leng Chang's face.

Then they saw Simmel grab Felt and Reinhard and exchange a few words. Immediately, Reinhard's expression turned serious, and she said something earnestly. Then, with a look of dissatisfaction, she took out a badge from her clothes.

It seems he had been denying the theft until now, when he had no choice but to admit it.

It was at this moment that the badge Felt was holding began to glow.

"..."

Silence is the deafening sound of Cambridge.
