Chapter 153: What Can You Do to Me?
Both of them are thieves, one is "The Favored One" with dual careers, and the other just entered the sixth-tier, their speed is not slow, they quickly reached the edge of the area.
"What’s going on?" Elizabeth looked at the stationed troops outside the area, wide-eyed, "So many soldiers?"
Karoso looked at those soldiers and quickly hid with Elizabeth in an alley.
Whyte’s reaction was not as quick, obviously these soldiers were already set up outside.
A division entering the City of Freedom is definitely not a small matter.
With Hausmann’s ability, not hearing any news beforehand, even Teresa didn’t get any information, it’s clear that this matter is not simple.
"Who are you?" Karoso’s face suddenly turned serious, "Bringing a group for show is already at the limit. Mobilizing an army of over a division just because of jealousy over a woman… Do you have a treasure map on you? The kind that can make someone incredibly wealthy once found."
"Or do you have blueprints for a highly destructive weapon, being the only heir of an empire."
Karoso knows too much information now, but can only reveal very little of it.
He must obtain information through proper channels before taking any action.
"I… he, he might not be after me," Elizabeth felt a bit confused.
The fact that such a large army was mobilized to catch me must be because of my father.
But I truly don’t know anything about what’s happening with my father, what should I do?
Elizabeth and Karoso haven’t known each other for long, so she couldn’t tell him about certain important matters.
"Sorry… I have a rough idea of why they are here." Elizabeth gathered her courage and said to Karoso, "Master Karoso, thank you for your help earlier. I will leave on my own now, I can’t be a burden to you. This matter may involve you and could escalate into a diplomatic issue between Canglang Province and the City of Freedom."
[Elizabeth is quite kind.]
[Oh, we should tell Master Karoso now, so he can send someone over!]
[We haven’t known each other for long. She didn’t even tell Sophia at first, and got caught herself.]
[Master Karoso, be patient and wait for the big opportunity. The trouble in the City of Freedom this time is bigger than anything you’ve faced before. If you handle it well, the benefits will be unimaginable. Don’t let the old woman take advantage of it.]
[It feels strange to go against our future power like this…]
[We’re just playing games, do you think you’re the Ideal Homeland Card God? Can you solve the correct formula of a card? Can you even win an argument against the old woman?]
[Why does it have to be the old woman, why not Sophia?]
[Can’t Master Karoso convince the Duke to send troops directly?]
Of course Karoso can’t convince Osiris to send troops directly.
He trusts online users a lot.
However, the information they know is from the past, and now that the butterfly has flapped its wings, Karoso is unsure if some things will happen, and this has nothing to do with trust.
What to do if due to the birth of the Zero-star Card, due to the birth of the Greedy Hand, freedom of movement is not as great as it used to be in history?
Mobilizing several divisions and having to go by sea, the military expenses will be enormous!
The reason why Osiris values Karoso is because Karoso will truly take responsibility for the army and people of Canglang Province.
"Have you made up your mind?" Karoso asked, "If you need me, I can help you, but I need to know if it’s worth it. This is no longer just a matter of face, this matter is not simple."
"I’ve decided!" Elizabeth said firmly, "Thank you, Master Karoso, you will always be my friend."
"There are some things I don’t want to hide from you, but I can’t tell you right now. You are the hope of Canglang Province’s future. You should understand why I can’t tell you."
"Okay." Karoso patted Elizabeth’s shoulder and smiled, "Take care."
……
At the same time, Whyte arrived at an abandoned factory.
Hausmann sat bruised in a corner, surrounded by many soldiers keeping watch.
Bang!
Whyte approached Hausmann, slapped him in the face, and angrily said, "Damn it, were you the one who smashed me with a bottle?"
"Hmph, even though I don’t know what you are up to, now you are in big trouble," Hausmann said coldly.
"Haha…" Whyte laughed heartily with his hands on his hips and said, "In big trouble? I don’t think so."
"I just want to know, who dares to punish me?"
"You’ve been in trouble for so long, and nobody has come to save you. Nobody can save you. Do you think your trouble is bigger or mine?"
At that moment, Whyte’s Magic Stone started to shine.
He frowned slightly, walked to the side, and answered the call.
His previous arrogant demeanor disappeared, and he respectfully said to the person on the call, "Father, I have done as you instructed."
"Humph! Useless!"
Hearing a voice on the other end, Whyte suddenly became alert.
"Father, I have followed all your instructions." Whyte said cautiously.
"I asked you to use the pretext of jealousy to capture a mediocre figure, and bring Elizabeth back. But you let her escape and exposed the army prematurely. If you’re not useless, then what are you?"
"Father, it’s not entirely my fault. Who knew that Karoso…" Whyte hesitated, "I was trying to be considerate to him."
"You should have captured him the moment he landed, as soon as possible. As long as you didn’t hurt him and just took Elizabeth, would anyone else have cared?"
"Um…" Whyte frowned slightly.
Simply put, he hadn’t gotten over his fear of Karoso from before.
Even if Karoso didn’t have any soldiers with him at that time, he was still the son of the tyrant of Canglang Province. He was afraid that something might go wrong if not handled properly.
"Hmph, everything is going according to plan. Once we capture Sophia as well, we’ll have caught some big fish this time. Karoso, Teresa, make sure to keep them under control. Don’t make a move on the others until everything is ready. Hold them down; the experts they have with them are not to be underestimated."
"Yes, Father."
……
After parting ways with Elizabeth, Karoso walked alone on the street and soon found himself surrounded by Whyte’s troops.
Karoso stood with his hands behind his back, unafraid even in the face of great danger.
Soon, Whyte’s car pulled up in front of Karoso.
"Are you still here?" Whyte sat in the army vehicle, staring at Karoso intently. "Where is she?"
"She left," Karoso said.
"Did she kidnap you, and now she let you go?" Whyte took a deep breath, trying to save some face.
"No, I just wanted to take her with me," Karoso smiled. "What can you do to me?"
