Chapter 213: The War that Decides the Fate of 'The Bridge' Part 16
The plan that Jericho and Wesley discussed was a trap that Kayn prepared.
Although it wasn't a trap meant to kill more of their members. Instead, it aims so that they will be informed of who the allies of the Assembly of Freedom are.
While the Assembly of Freedom knows fully well who the allies of the Green Horn City are, the latter barely knows who they have to deal with.
"So, you want our allies to occupy the other villages and make it their headquarters?" Wesley was intrigued by the idea.
"Once the Green Horn Knights realized that the territory is now being protected by one of the allies of the Assembly of Freedom, they'll have no other choice but to back away. Otherwise, there's a good chance that they'll get trapped in two different directions," Jericho explained.
"Good idea!" Wesley agreed. "I'll immediately inform Chief Kylo about it and we'll see what he plans to do about it. If all goes well and it gets implemented, I'll make sure that the Herald Guild would take credit for it,"
"Let's share the credits," Jericho suddenly suggested.
"What?" Wesley was instantly surprised. "Are you sure?"
"My assistant here informed me that it is best if we get close to you since your position in the Assembly of Freedom isn't ordinary, especially if you consider the fact that Chief Kylo entrusted you in his absence,"
"Your assistant would surely take you to better heights," Wesley looks at Kayn. "That is if he remains alive,"
"He will, and I'll make sure of that," Jericho rode along with the act.
"Hopefully," Wesley smiled.
Contrary to Jericho, Kayn knows fully well that Wesley doesn't seem to like that someone is trying to help Jericho. Perhaps Wesley has other plans for Jericho, and his action is preventing him from doing that.
That's perfect, as he doesn't want Wesley to get near Jericho considering that he has the ability to charm others.
"By the way, there is a ball for every important member of the Assembly of Freedom tonight in our city. Aside from giving you that document, I am also here to invite you to attend the ball. You can bring two people with you as your guard, but make sure they dress appropriately," Wesley once again changed the topic.
"What do I have to take note of," Jericho wanted to know if there was any special meaning to this ball.
"You'll be meeting our allies, and the theme is a masquerade,"
"In other words, I will have the chance to meet with our allies, except that I won't know who they are exactly?"
"Yes,"
"I like that," Jericho also doesn't want people to know that he is pretending to be allied with the Assembly of Freedom as this would definitely cause misunderstanding among the people on the side of Green Horn City.
"Although you'll have every freedom to tell them of your identity,"
"Lucky them,"
"You'll most likely change your mind once you are in the ball," Wesley was certain that Jericho would want to establish connections with the other allies once he got to know them.
Jericho understood the underlying meaning behind Wesley's words. So, he turns to look at Kayn meaningfully.
"Just a quick question, I hope you don't mind," Kayn interjected.
"What is it?" Wesley suddenly realized something that he didn't think of asking all this time. "Can you tell me your name?"
"I am Nyak,"
"Quite a strange name you got there. But who cares, no one is racist here," Wesley nodded his head as if to greet his newly found friend. "So, Nyak, what do you want to know?"
"Are you involved in the cooking of the food?"
"As much as I want to, Chief Kylo specifically banned me in every kitchen around the city except for mine. Although I can cook if I really want to anywhere, I'll have to make sure that I don't feed it to anyone in the Assembly of Freedom, especially our important allies," Wesley could only laugh helplessly as that is exactly what he wanted to do.
"That's a relief," Kayn obviously doesn't want to attend a ball where Wesley is one of the designated chefs. Supposed that happens, they'll be putting their minds at risk for the latter's control.
"I'll just bring my own snacks," Jericho understood the dangers of Wesley.
"Believe me, you're not the only one," Wesley was already used to it. "Anyways, I have to go to prepare myself for the ball. I'll see you there tonight,"
"Alright," Jericho nodded.
Jericho and Wesley bid farewell.
After Wesley left, Kayn immediately gathered everyone to the penthouse to decide on who else would come to the ball.
"I suggest Jadiel should come. He is a tank, and we could definitely use his protection in case something goes wrong," Jericho looks at Jadiel.
"I do like that idea, but," Kayn glimpses at Jude beside him. "We have another matter we need to know,"
"Is about the key?" Jericho understood.
Kayn nodded. "Jude has his own way of detecting the existence of keys. As long as we get close enough to the key, he'll be able to know what exactly it is,"
"But would the key not notice," Jericho believes that it is a big risk to bring the only person who can detect the existence of keys with them.
"It will," Jude already explained to Kayn before that if he can notice other keys, those other keys can also notice him. "But it won't know for sure,"
That's right. Although the other keys can notice that there is another key nearby them, they won't be able to recognize who or what it is.
"So this means that I, Kayn, and Jude will be coming to the ball?"
"No," Kayn shook his head. "You, Jadiel, and Jude will be coming to the ball,"
"How about you?" Jericho felt curious about what Kayn would be doing. Such an important matter like the ball is definitely not something the latter would want to miss.
"I'll be sneaking in the ball with the others,"
"I thought so," Jericho chuckled.
