Chapter 6920
Vera and Helena were the best of friends by the time Charlie and Merlin returned to Norway.It was late winter, and there was barely any sunlight, so the whole country was basically going into hibernation, and the royal family was no different.Foreign and domestic events were mostly suspended while the Queen stayed in seclusion, avoiding public appearances unless it was absolutely necessary. Without much else to do, Helena spent nearly every day with Vera.She had bought and tidied up the farm Charlie had asked her to purchase, and she would spend the day there with Vera whenever they could, tending to the livestock as well as taking strolls with the cats and dogs.Still, after spending so much time with Vera, Helena's curiosity toward her grew.She noticed that despite Vera's youthful appearance, there was a calm air and maturity about her, and she possessed way too many skills without any prior instruction. She was certainly surprised that someone so young would have mastered

Merlin nodded. "It's a bit difficult, but we already have the facial profiles on a large number of Qing Eliminating Society members. We will be alerted right away if we install vending machines at the entrances to Arlo's hospital and even register patterns if they regularly visit… though we can surmise that Arlo has been abandoned if no one visits."Charlie asked, "What if someone from the Right Military Governor's Office shows up?"Merlin replied, "We've already had a number of them identified after droves of them traveled through Naples Airport. I've instructed the AI module to set them on level one notification, so the AI module will report them immediately whenever Earthnet spots them."That said, those members may just be a small portion of them, but I can ask the AI module to cross-reference those faces recorded at the airport to the faces who showed up at the hospital. That way, we can identify those who arrived in Casablanca by plane or boat from elsewhere and then went to t

Charlie nodded. "Penny is talented, and she is very young, too. But having come to know her, one can see that she's a warrior, not a statesman. Even if I had never captured her, she would never have been able to elevate the Qing Eliminating Society as a whole. Aside from the mind of a war strategist, they sorely need a mind that can keep up with the times."Pausing, Charlie then continued, "Oh, and considering Arlo's abilities, he wouldn't die even if he loses both hands—heck, he wouldn't even need a hospital. That's why it's puzzling why he would go to one and publicly, at that… Why do you think that is?"Merlin thought about it. "Well, considering what you did to him, they would understand that Arlo has been compromised. Going straight to the hospital only goes to show there's no point if he hides or not."Moreover, I imagine Fleur is worried that you might feed Arlo another Regeneration Pill. See, every time we encounter a murder, especially one with no known motives and an unusu

Merlin couldn't help but laugh as he listened to Charlie mock Fleur. "I really believed for a moment that you were giving Arlo a Regeneration Pill for free, and I had to admit I thought that would be a real shame… I guess all it did was taunt Fleur while Arlo got nothing out of it. I see this as an absolute win!"Charlie nodded and said, "The pill is definitely invaluable, but as long as it leads to the outcome I want, I dare say it was worth it.""Agreed," Merlin nodded. "Arlo is just out of luck, having had three hands hacked off."Charlie laughed, "He's a Griffin under Fleur's protection—he has either committed just as many atrocities as she has, if not abetting her. The Griffins, as well as the dead soldiers and armed cavalry guards, are the reason that the Qing Eliminating Society has survived until this day. In that sense, it's a bargain that I only cut off Arlo's hand."Pausing, he then shook his head. "Nope. I first gave him one hand, then took another away. That's just fai

Arlo regained his composure right then and quickly said, "You're absolutely right, Gramps! I will go to the hospital immediately because it's the best place for me right now!"Tarlon nodded. "Yes. You've been put through a lot these past few days, and it has most certainly taken a strain on your body. Take your time and rest at the hospital. When the time is right, I'll inform your brother to bring you home. But that's not right now… so take your time, get some rest, and stay at the hospital until we send for you.""Yes, Gramps!" Arlo nodded. "I understand!""Good," Tarlon said. "Now, go."After hanging up the phone, it took Arlo considerable difficulty to slide his severed left hand into Callum's clothes with just his feet. He then immediately called for Marvin from Moore Trading.Naturally, Marvin was stunned by the horrific sight before him, while Arlo didn't waste any time explaining as he barked, "We don't have time to play 21 questions—dispose of the consul's body right no

Though Arlo was used to seeing death, he suddenly felt a sense of loss and desolation at that very moment.That was also when he abruptly realized that Fleur keeping him alive while ordering Callum's death was not because of her magnanimity for one of her own—it was simply the way things stood for her.The way she saw it, it was an insult to her that her mysterious foe had force-fed Arlo that Regeneration Pill.She didn't want that little fact to ever come to light, and killing him and Callum should have been her ideal solution.If anything, she must have spared Arlo because Silas had just recently 'disappeared' after the fall of the Cyprus base, and Fleur couldn't afford to kill so many important Griffins so soon.That, or she could just watch as the entire Qing Eliminating Society became demoralized, and she would lose more than she had bargained for.Hah! And to think she had styled herself as a progenitor of the Griffin lineage, when the lives of her own relatives were worth
