Chapter 239 Fors and Xio's Response

"What was the result of the observation?"

In the carriage on the return journey, Louise asked seriously.

Miss "Seer" had already prepared a draft, and confidently replied:

"Ambassador Intis, Bakerland, is slender, of middle age, not ugly, likes to talk sweetly, and is extremely attentive to beautiful ladies..."

Louise nodded again and again, smiled and praised: "Yes, you have the potential to become a 'faceless man'."

"What do you want me to do?" Catherine asked curiously.

The corners of Louise's mouth curled up slightly, and she said with a mysterious smile:

"I want you to become a 'magic'."

…………

On Wednesday, Audrey met with Forsi and Miss Hugh, and directly explained her intentions:

"I have a task that I need your help with."

"What mission?" Xio's eyes lit up, as if he could smell the ink scent of banknotes.

Audrey showed a polite smile:

"Assassinate Intis' ambassador to the kingdom, Bakerland Jean Madan."

Forsi, who had just spent four hundred pounds to buy the "Master of Magic" formula, was saving up to send out an emergency signal, and couldn't help frowning, as if seeing hundreds of gold pounds flying away from her eyes with wings.

"We can't complete this task," she said dejectedly.

Audrey noticed Forsi's hesitation, and said with a dimpled smile:

"I'm not asking you to accept the entrustment yourself, but I hope that you can find extraordinary people who are capable of completing it, such as Mr. A. I will pay a deposit of two thousand gold pounds for this. If the task is completed, a maximum of eight thousand pounds will still be given later. The final payment... the details need to be discussed between the two of you."

"Regardless of whether the final task is completed or not, I will give you five hundred pounds as a reward, because you took the risk."

…………

Leaving Audrey's house, Miss Hugh kept frowning. She suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice:

"I don't think this is right."

Fors turned around, echoed with deep satisfaction and said:

"Naive, curious, and ignorant Miss Audrey would actually give an assassination mission, and the target is the ambassador of Intis, a powerful country in the Northern Continent. This matter itself is not in line with common sense."

"Then why did you agree so decisively?" Xio asked strangely. Just now, when she was still hesitating whether to accept the commission, Forsi took the lead in agreeing.

"Because the reward promised by Miss Audrey is generous enough." Forsi said as a matter of course, and then, without giving Xio a chance to refute, she continued to analyze:

"Whether it's a strife in the noble circle, or a prelude to a premeditated war...it doesn't matter much to us, because you and I are just a mouthpiece."

"If you and I rejected this entrustment just now, I believe that Miss Audrey will not have any dissatisfaction, but other people will naturally choose to accept it, and the result will not change in any way. However, the reward of five hundred pounds can will fall into the hands of others."

"As for the risk that Miss Audrey mentioned, huh, how can there be a safe entrustment?"

"Becoming Extraordinary is the biggest risk."

After listening to Forsi's long and clear analysis of why she accepted the mission, Miss Hugh had no unnecessary objections. Since the day she became a bounty hunter, she was ready to take risks.

Even though Mr. A is a member of the evil organization "Aurora Society", Huo will not back down because of this. After all, this commission does not require her to be an enemy of Mr. A. The doubts in her mind mainly fall on the other information provided by Miss Audrey superior:

"Bakerland will soon resign his post as ambassador and return to Intis. On Thursday night, he will attend a ball hosted by Louise. That is the best chance to assassinate him."

Fors rubbed the three fingers of her right hand lightly. This was her habitual action when she was writing and smoking, and it was also a sign of thinking. After a while, she said:

"You have always been very wary of Miss Louise, so you are worried that this is a trap designed by Louise and Audrey. Their real target is not the so-called Ambassador Intis, but Mr. A."

With full use of the writer's image power, Forsi's thoughts flowed more smoothly:

"If this plan that only exists in your imagination fails, Mr. A is not dead, or Mr. A is killed by Louise, and other members of the 'Aurora Society' trace the source, we will bear the brunt... This is you Are you worried about something?"

Miss Xiu looked like she had seen a ghost, and asked in surprise, "You...how did you know?"

Forsi didn't explain, but reached out and tapped Xixiu's forehead, asking consecutively:

"Then have you ever thought that the news that Mr. A belongs to the 'Aurora Society' came from Miss Audrey? Have you ever thought that you and I have a huge sum of two thousand pounds in our pockets? If Miss Audrey wants to Do you need to pay such a high price to harm us?"

Miss Xio touched her head, and muttered in a low voice:

"I didn't doubt Miss Audrey, I was worried..."

"Worried about Miss Louise, right?" Fors said with an expression as expected, "Your prejudice against Louise is a bit serious, we have known her for a long time, and life is normal, isn't it?" ?"

"Even both of us got the potion formula of Sequence Eight, which is one step closer to our respective goals."

"Okay, maybe I'm worrying too much." Miss Hugh nodded and said.

Getting along with people often depends on first impressions, and Louise left a particularly deep impression on Xio, which made Xio always wary of her, but Forsi's analysis is not unreasonable , she habitually chooses to obey.

…………

After the communication with Mr. A was over, Fors and Xio looked at each other, and they both saw the same doubt in each other's eyes.

It's not that the communication just now was not smooth, on the contrary, the process went very smoothly. The price proposed by Mr. A happened to be the highest reward that Miss Audrey could accept, as if the two parties had already negotiated... The deposit of 2,000 pounds was paid on the spot, and if the task is completed , there will be another 8,000 pounds in the future. If the mission fails, the 2,000 pounds will not be refunded.

"Five hundred pounds, so easy to get?" Forsi couldn't believe it. Why did she spend so much effort writing the book? It's better to complete a commission from Miss Audrey...

"I think so." Hugh responded seriously.

In the two people's homes in Jowood District, Forsi lay paralyzed on the sofa, and suddenly sat up in shock from a dying illness, saying:

"I think we should go to the safe house and come back after this thing is over."

Xio didn't pay attention to it immediately, but held an invitation card she just found in the mailbox in her hand. After reading it, she turned to Fors and said:

"I don't think that's necessary anymore."

Forsi accepted the invitation, the content on it was very simple:

"I sincerely invite Miss Fors and Miss Hugh to attend the ball at No. 59 Egram Street this Thursday night."

"Your friend, Louise Best."

"What does this mean?" Forsi took two deep breaths and asked.

Miss Hugh replied with a serious expression: "Louise's invitation, the ball on Thursday night."

One is a former noble lady, and the other is a well-known writer. Naturally, she is no stranger to balls, but tomorrow's ball, if nothing else happens, there will be a battle between Extraordinary people. Why invite us two "megaphones"?

"Go?" Forsi waved the invitation.

Miss Hugh got up and said, "I haven't got the five hundred pounds yet!"
