My queen is rebelling!
#6 - Isabella
“Is your young lady’s life worth it?”
Cohen’s words were like a thunderclap, and Modo’s face immediately turned gloomy.
Isabella said in a deep voice:
“That’s not worth it with just these words!”
Cohen looked at Isabella, organized his thoughts, and asked:
“Miss Wenzer secretly rushed to Florence to discuss a business deal with Grand Duke Roland of the Western Regions Empire?”
Isabella’s pupils trembled slightly. She hadn’t even told Modo, who was by her side, about this news!
The mysterious young man in front of her actually knew!
Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and her gaze turned cold. Reason told her that she should silence him immediately, but looking at his confident appearance, she slowly suppressed the urge to attack.
After pondering for a moment, Isabella nodded slightly and said to Modo at the same time:
“I was planning to tell you in person after arriving today. This is a major matter, and any means of long-distance communication are not safe.”
“After learning this news, you will definitely arrange the negotiation matters as soon as possible. Who will you entrust with this task?”
Modo turned his gaze to Isabella, who nodded slightly. Modo stiffly replied:
“Viser. He has several properties in the suburbs of Florence.”
Cohen smiled lightly and slowly said: “Viser Adam, the person in charge of the ‘Pale Wings’ of the Aifei Principality… Mr. Modo, your… nephew!”
Modo’s face was a little unsightly, but since this kid already knew so many secrets, it didn’t seem surprising that he knew about his relationship with Viser.
Cohen continued to ask:
“Will Mr. Modo tell Viser about Miss Wenzer’s visit to Florence?”
“Of course I won’t…”
“Don’t rush, think carefully before answering, it’s a matter of life and death!”
Cohen stared at Modo.
Modo’s face was pale, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he reluctantly nodded, then explained:
“Miss, Viser is my own nephew, absolutely reliable…”
Cohen interrupted him and said:
“Yes, he is your own nephew. Your young and beautiful superior has finally come for a visit. How could you not let your own nephew come to pay his respects and show his face? It’s only human nature, Mr. Modo, no need to be embarrassed!”
Mr. Modo’s face twitched, and he said impatiently: “What does this have to do with what you said?”
Cohen took a sip of water and calmly uttered a shocking sentence:
“Viser is a member of the ‘Black Tomb’!”
This was a public accusation, and Mr. Modo had to express his attitude in front of his superior.
He suddenly stood up and roared:
“Nonsense, I think you are a traitor from the ‘Black Tomb,’ here to sow discord!”
Isabella frowned slightly and said:
“Does Your Excellency have any basis for this statement? Uncle Modo watched me grow up, and I have absolute trust in him. His own nephew… would betray him?”
Cohen glanced at the furious Modo, crossed his arms in front of his chest, leaned back slightly, and closed his eyes slightly.
Isabella lowered her eyes, remained silent for a moment, and lowered her voice:
“The information you wanted before… I can give it to you!”
Cohen slowly opened his eyes, exuding a stern aura, and said in a deep voice:
“Of course Mr. Modo’s own nephew wouldn’t betray him, but if his own nephew has been replaced, then that’s another story.”
Cohen’s words made a chill rise in the backs of the two.
Modo quickly asked:
“What do you mean? What happened to Viser?”
Cohen said solemnly: “The ‘Phantom Corpse,’ the seventh councilor of the ‘Black Tomb,’ replaced Viser three years ago.”
Mr. Modo exclaimed: “How is that possible?”
Cohen said: “Did Viser go on a long trip to the Northern Region Empire three years ago? You can check it out. During that time, the Phantom Corpse was also active near there. Also, check Viser’s activity records for the past three years. He has to go to the national cemetery once every three months… The Phantom Corpse is a corpse demon and needs corpse energy to maintain its transformation.”
Isabella’s face was frosty. These things were easy to investigate, and Cohen didn’t need to tell such a lie. She almost believed Cohen’s words.
A spy from the “Black Tomb” had infiltrated her ranks. Not to mention how much impact this news would have on her family when it was reported back, she might not even be able to escape the “Black Tomb’s” schemes!
The arrogant eyes that Isabella always had were now flashing with a cold and stern light. She had really been careless this time!
However, such top-secret news actually came from the mouth of a mysterious young man. Isabella suddenly felt that the biggest gain from this trip to Aifei might not be the business with the Western Regions Empire!
Mr. Modo’s face showed a trace of grief. He stepped forward, grabbed Cohen’s arms, and said in a trembling voice:
“Then… then Viser he…”
Cohen shook off his hands and said unhappily:
“He’s not dead yet. The Phantom Corpse is still counting on your nephew to play the role of Viser well, so it won’t kill him easily… but the longer it drags on, the greater the chance of death.”
Mr. Modo’s expression improved a little.
Cohen turned his gaze to Isabella and said:
“What do you think? Wouldn’t you say I saved the young lady’s life? If the people from the Black Tomb knew that the Golden Winged Maiden was here, hehe, I wouldn’t be surprised if they mobilized demigods to encircle and suppress me! At that time, with a surprise attack and spatial blockade, is Miss Wenzer confident that she can escape?”
Cohen’s words were a bit exaggerated. Even if Cohen didn’t remind her now, Isabella wouldn’t die. After all, as the Golden Winged Maiden, she had too many life-saving cards.
However, this didn’t stop Cohen from making the situation sound more serious. The more serious it was, the higher the value of his information!
In the game in his previous life, this incident was called “The Sorrow of the Golden Wings.” Three legendary figures, several gold-ranked figures, and a Golden Winged Guard under Isabella’s command all perished in Florence.
Even Isabella herself lost half her life. She, who was already a gold-ranked figure, had her “Golden Body” broken and spent a huge price to repair it.
Isabella suddenly smiled, beautifully and incomparably, and stretched out her slender jade hand to Cohen and said:
“Thank you for saving my life, Your Excellency. From now on, we are friends!”
Cohen shook it and let go, saying:
“Compared to the flashy relationship of friends, I am more concerned with benefits.”
Isabella blinked her eyes, her eyes sparkling:
“Is Your Excellency really unwilling to take off your mask?”
Cohen said indifferently:
“Forget it, I’m afraid you’ll be shocked when you see my face.”
Isabella gave Cohen a charming roll of her eyes, obviously not thinking that Cohen’s face had anything that could shock her.
Isabella’s ring flashed, and a golden card engraved with wing patterns appeared, saying: “I value my life more than that information. I’ll give you this card, which can be used to enjoy a 10% discount at the ‘Pale Wings’ chambers of commerce, auction houses, and black markets throughout the continent.”
Cohen’s eyes lit up. This was a real benefit, and he reached out to take it.
Cohen played with the gold card and suddenly said:
“I have a collaboration here, I wonder if Miss Wenzer is interested!”
Isabella smiled faintly: “I am now interested in anything about Your Excellency.”
Cohen said:
“Help you eliminate the Black Tomb’s forces in the Northwest Continent. If you’re lucky, you might even be able to rescue this Uncle Modo’s nephew. How about it?”
Isabella’s expression solidified, and she slowly said:
“You mean…”
Cohen’s eyes flashed with a fierce edge:
“Use a trick to strike a blow against the Black Tomb!”
