Chapter 406: A Tricky Move, Right on Target

This girl actually has Honest Feather.

Michelle’s move caught Bai Wei off guard.

The effect of Honest Feather has become evident.

It’s now clear that Bai Wei is lying, and even making up lies has become especially difficult.

He felt both amused and frustrated, never expecting to run into trouble like this. There was no way he could respond.

"Alright, I won’t lie," Bai Wei sighed, acknowledging that Michelle had temporarily gained the upper hand.

Michelle’s eyes lit up. "So, Mr. White, would you like to explain how you know me?"

She anxiously wanted to confirm if he was indeed Mr. Devil.

With the Honest Feather in hand, this is a rare opportunity that might not come again anytime soon if missed.

Instead of giving a direct answer, Bai Wei said, "The Honest Feather you’re holding indicates that what you just said was indeed a lie. It might be easier to continue from here. Why not ask me which parts of what you said were lies?"

Michelle thought for a moment and said, "About the Golden Engraving?"

Bai Wei replied, "It’s definitely not your original creation."

Michelle asked in return, "Why are you so sure?"

Bai Wei explained, "Because I know a lot about the empire’s history, and the Golden Engraving has never appeared in history. You’re just an ordinary village girl, how could you have such knowledge? Rising too quickly is your biggest flaw."

Michelle thought to herself, "You’re revealing your true colors. You know so much about me, and about the empire’s history. You’re becoming more and more like Mr. Devil. I won’t be satisfied until you admit it yourself!"

After thinking for a moment, she continued questioning, "Perhaps I joined a super powerful organization, or maybe I received guidance from a super powerful figure? Mr. White, which one do you think is more likely?"

Bai Wei answered, "Using common sense, both are possible, with the former being more probable."

"Why not the latter?"

"There’s no such thing as a free lunch, and this discovery that shook the academic world of the Allied Nations, who would be generous enough to give it to you? Taking a step back, with such a high level of resources, it would be better to choose a more suitable person to help, like your best friend, Alena Capesh, and make a deal with her. You would gain more resources that way." Bai Wei couldn’t stop himself from sarcastically commenting.

"Unfortunately, you guessed wrong, it’s the latter." Michelle confidently admitted her biggest secret and added a bet, "It’s the latter who’s been helping me and benefiting me a lot."

Bai Wei’s heart skipped a beat as he looked at Michelle in shock and speechlessness.

Not true.

Are you admitting it just like that?

"It’s true." As Michelle said these words, the Honest Feather she held in her hand also lit up, proving that she was telling the truth without any falsehood.

Michelle’s action was actually very risky. If Bai Wei wasn’t Mr. Devil, then he must be someone who could have close access to her information. Revealing this secret voluntarily also meant exposing herself. So, this was a big gamble. Her intuition told her that she could place her bet.

The girl’s eyes burned with determination. Since she had already said it, she had to achieve the desired outcome. There was no turning back.

Michelle took a step forward, feeling the powerful and intense dragon blood coursing through her body. Her breathing became hot, but she continued to ask her questions.

"Mr. Bai, what do you think this person is like?"

"He is both a genius and a fool," Bai Wei commented sharply.

"I have never seen him before, so I don’t know what he looks like," Michelle said regretfully. "I have asked numerous times about his origins and his name. I am eager to know what he looks like, but I have never received an answer… Do you think Mr. Bai, he is being too secretive?"

"Everyone has their own secrets," Bai Wei said calmly. "It’s natural that people are unwilling to expose them. It’s not a good habit to delve too deeply and pry into other people’s secrets."

Her attack became even stronger. After revealing her biggest secret, she was now being straightforward and didn’t intend to beat around the bush.

She was clearly asking questions as if she were speaking about that person whom she yearned for day and night, using the word ‘he,’ but in her heart, she was thinking of ‘you.’

If it were anyone else here, they would find Michelle’s behavior puzzling.

However, her intuition was extremely accurate. This silly girl had wagered all the cleverness she had accumulated over the past decade on this moment.

Made her very full!

"I also know that I was a bit impatient, so I planned to wait a little longer, but it’s really agonizing… The person is so close, yet far away. I really want to get closer, but my hand can’t touch anything, can’t feel any warmth. I can only hug my own arms. I feel very lonely."

Michelle spoke her inner thoughts, taking the opportunity to complain about someone’s irresponsible behavior and shameless actions, "The attitude is even worse… It’s either perfunctory or silent…"

When she said this, she suddenly smiled, looked at Bai Wei, blinked her eyes quietly, and saw the calm features of the young man reflected in her eyes, "Just like Mr. White now, either evading the important and focusing on trivial matters, or simply keeping silent."

It’s like complaining that the lover is not active or proactive enough, wasting the deep love of a young girl.

Bai Wei suppressed the desire to make sarcastic comments brought by Honest Feather.

…I was clearly just urging you to study and do your homework, when did I tease you?

He couldn’t say that, so he had to maintain a calm look with his superb acting skills. Even the slightest hint of impatience or disdain in his eyes would immediately be noticed by Michelle and intensify the pressure.

Although she is a girl who has never been in love, she is naturally talented in this aspect. Every sentence she says sounds true or false, and Honest Feather even agreed. She really thinks so from the bottom of her heart.

Michelle said, "Speaking of which, he should also be from the Ming Country."

Bai Wei asked, "Even though I’ve never seen him, he thinks he should be from the Ming Country? Maybe it’s fake?"

Michelle asked, "Does Mr. Bai think it’s fake?"

At this moment, Bai Wei only needed to say one word, ‘no,’ to dispel all of her doubts.

But he couldn’t, lying would be immediately noticeable, Honest Feather, you’ve caused quite a mess!

Bai Wei could only say, "I won’t comment on this matter."

Not giving a direct answer, choosing to evade, at this point, whoever answers directly is a fool, can this fastball be caught with a straight face?

Michelle lowered her head, looking at her own toes, and then asked, "Mr. Bai, why do you think it could be me?"

Bai Wei said, "Who knows?"

A coincidence, who knows why?

"What I mean is, why would you help me?" Michelle pursued, "Anyone else could do it, why me?"

This question had been in her heart for a long time, Mr. Devil had answered it before, but it was just a lucky chance.

But she couldn’t help but ask, at this very moment, the moment of truth, she wanted a more definite answer, even if it was difficult for her to accept.

Bai Wei stared into Michelle’s eyes, silent for a while, he thought and then said, "Maybe because you’re beautiful?"

Honest Feather still emitted a soft glow.

Michelle said dissatisfiedly, "That’s too casual, there are so many pretty girls."

Bai Wei chuckled, "So how can I answer this kind of question? After all, I am just a person from the Ming Country, thousands of miles away. Miss Michelle may have mistaken me."

Michelle raised her eyebrows and lifted her chin, she had come this far, she wouldn’t easily give up.

"If Mr. White is not, please deny it by saying ‘no’."

She was sure that Bai Wei would not deny it. Even if he did, as long as it was a lie, it would extinguish the light of honesty.

Bai Wei has been silent too many times. The more he doesn’t speak, the more it indicates that he is hiding something. This kind of concealment will only make him passively beaten.

Because there is no limit to questioning, the continuous trial and error and silence have already cornered Bai Wei.

At this final step, Michelle is more than 90% sure that Bai Wei is her devil.

As long as he nods, she will immediately rush up to hug him, regardless of how others look at them.

"I…" Bai Wei slowly opened his mouth, facing her hopeful gaze.

At this crucial moment, suddenly came the earth-shattering sound.

Bai Wei turned aside, and not far away, the one-eyed giant roared in anger, chasing after Hatsurai Wagaizuma and Yagyū Simozi riding on the back of the orange.

I don’t know what happened, but it feels like a monster is chasing a horse-riding person, with a loud sound shaking the air.

"This bear girl!" Bai Wei said, then he opened his hand in Michelle’s silent and shocked gaze, and drew his bow.

The spiral arrow twisted the space, the arrow shot out, piercing through the running giant. Its huge eyeball instantly burst, its head twisted, blood gushed out, it fell to the ground and died. The leftover thoughts in its mind dispersed, dissipating like a piece of broken nail.

Letting go of the bow and arrows in his hand, Bai Wei realized that he might not be able to hide it anymore. After all, the only ones who knew this move were him and Michelle, and she was the one who taught him personally.

"Okay, I admit…" Bai Wei lowered his hand, prepared to confess.

As the mental battle came to an end, it seemed that today’s defeat was inevitable. Bai Wei had to accept it.

At this crucial moment, Michelle interrupted him and asked with a complicated expression, "Mr. White, are you… a member of the Black Rose?"

Bai Wei was taken aback, "How do you know about the Black Rose?"

Could it be that something happened during the time he was away?

Michelle asked, "Is it?"

Is there even a need to ask?

The creator of Black Rose felt no need to hide.

The young man nodded and said, "I am."

Honest Feather’s light was soft and unwavering, indicating complete agreement with the statement.

Michelle’s thoughts were thrown into the abyss at this moment, "Huh?"
