Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 186 Heisenberg’s motive - the only way to defeat the Empress, Queen Effiin!

Central Empire, the meeting place agreed with Her Majesty the Empress.

Cohen glanced sideways at Isabella beside him and whispered:

"What is the situation in the Kingdom of Ceylon?"

When Isabella learned that Cohen was coming to the Central Empire, she immediately rushed back from the Kingdom of Ceylon.

Hearing Cohen's question, Isabella replied:

"It's relatively stable. I think it's all thanks to your good queen."

Cohen's face was filled with astonishment, and he asked:
"What's wrong? What does this have to do with Adele?"

Isabella said jealously:
“Originally, the Third Prince Saxon was about to take action against Duke Gavin.

As a result, news of what happened in the court of Eifin reached Saxon. The strength that Yadel displayed in the court was so astonishing that Saxon decided it would be safer to deal with Eifin's affairs first and then deal with the domestic opposition.

He was worried that if the Gavin family resisted too strongly, it would damage their strength, making it even more difficult to deal with Queen Effiin.

Cohen's face showed a look of sudden realization, and he continued:

"If he doesn't take action against the Gavin family now, he may not have this opportunity in the future!"

Cohen was not going to let go of the third prince who dared to set his sights on his sister, the queen.

Isabella snorted twice and said jealously:

"What an enviable relationship!"

A trace of embarrassment crossed Cohen's face. He wisely chose not to respond, but changed the subject:
“You are so busy in the Kingdom of Ceylon, why are you running back and forth?

I'm just here to interrogate someone with your Majesty the Empress, and then I'll go back."

Isabella rolled her eyes at Cohen.
"You are so heartless, I am just worried about you.

You are dealing with the chief of the Central Empire's House of Nobles. Who knows if the Empress is in cahoots with him and deliberately luring you into a trap?"

Cohen said helplessly:
"You think too much. Her Majesty the Empress is not that kind of person."

Isabella's eyes showed suspicion:
"You seem to know our Empress very well. It's strange, you've probably never met her."

Cohen wanted to say that he had never seen him in this life, but he had dealt with the emperor of the most powerful empire in human history many times in his previous life.

He laughed and said:

"How could His Majesty, the Emperor, resort to such schemes and intrigues?

By the way, have you met His Majesty Klein before?"

Isabella curled her lips slightly and said:
"I've seen her several times at banquets. At that time, she was just a young princess with outstanding talents.

Who could have thought that she would eventually ascend to the throne.

Why are you suddenly so interested in her? Are you attracted to her too?"

Cohen smiled bitterly and said:
"I think so, but it depends on their willingness."

Isabella muttered:
"That's not necessarily true. Everyone knows your reputation as the romantic master..."

The two of them were bickering happily until a deep, magnetic female voice came from behind:
"Why, the dignified 'Lord of Shadows', is he even going to drag the 'Golden Winged Daughter' along to bolster his courage?"

The two turned around and Shanice, dressed in casual clothes, appeared behind them.

Cohen raised his eyebrows slightly. Shanice's current appearance made her look like a pure girl next door, and she didn't look like the emperor of the most powerful empire in human history.

Isabella beside him smiled and said:

"Your Majesty, there is no 'Golden Winged Daughter' before you. There is only your subject, Isabella Windsor."

Shanice's lips curled up with a faint smile and she replied:
"I hope Miss Wen Ze really thinks so."

As one of the richest families in the entire continent, the heir of the Golden Wing Family is also someone that Her Majesty the Empress needs to unite and win over.

It was not easy for Shanice to act like an emperor in front of Isabella. The reason why Isabella was willing to be so humble was probably because of Cohen who was by her side.

Shanice obviously noticed this as well. She glanced at the masked man next to her, and complicated emotions surged in her heart.

She didn't understand what charm this man had. Not only did he capture her best friend and personal envoy Windsardler, but even the Golden Wing Girl was so devoted to him.

I really want to take off his mask and take a closer look.

Shanice suppressed her unnecessary emotions and said to Cohen:
"I've already caught the man, come here."

The three of them walked into a room and, through the monitoring array, saw a young noble sitting on a chair in an interrogation room.

It was none other than Samuel Jones, Heisenberg’s confidant and aide to the chief lord of the House of Lords.

In the interrogation room, although Samuel tried to remain calm, his face was solemn.

But his slightly trembling hands still revealed his inner nervousness.

Samuel was taken away as soon as he entered the border of the Central Empire.

The people who came to arrest him were from the police station responsible for border entry and exit management. The reason given was that they wanted him to cooperate in the investigation of a foreign espionage case.

Samuel didn't take it too seriously at first. The police station was a big deterrent to ordinary people, but it was nothing to him.

As a senior official of the House of Lords, even if the Minister of Police comes, he must be polite to him.

As for the spy case, it has nothing to do with him.

It’s simply that these police officers don’t know his identity, otherwise they would never have taken action against him.

When Samuel went to Florence this time, for the sake of caution, he did not bring anything that could prove his true identity.

His external identity is just a jewelry merchant in the Central Empire.

Therefore, when the police came to his door, he was unable to prove himself at the first moment, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he chose to cooperate.

However, his identity is impeccable and he has not done anything illegal or criminal.

Imperial law also stipulates that the maximum detention period by the police department shall not exceed twenty-four hours. As the Secretary-General of the Legal Committee of the Central Imperial House of Nobles, Samuel keeps this law in mind.

It's just a matter of waiting for 24 hours.

However, time passed second by second. According to his estimation, it would take at least thirty hours, not to mention twenty-four hours.

As a transcendent being, thirty hours could naturally help him resist hunger and sleepiness, but this long and aimless wait made him feel a little uneasy.

What's even more bizarre is that since he was brought to the interrogation room, he has never seen a single outsider.

He was puzzled as to what the other party meant.

If it was said that it was deliberately targeted at him, it would be even harder for him to believe.

In the territory of the Central Empire, who dares to target the people of the House of Lords?
Samuel had thought about escaping secretly, but he could clearly feel that a powerful existence was secretly watching his every move.

Legendary level!
Samuel's face gradually turned pale.

As a senior official of the Imperial House of Nobles, he has lived a life of luxury and naturally has abilities and insights.

But this kind of scene was the first time he had encountered it, and his uneasiness grew even more.

Cohen chuckled:
"He's almost losing his temper. I guess this is the first time he's been treated like this, considering his status."

Shannis said calmly:
"My people are not suitable to meet with him, so you go."

Cohen did not refuse. After thinking for a while, he said to Shanice:
"Your Majesty, no matter what truth you hear later, I hope... you can remain restrained!"

Shanice was stunned for a moment, her fair face and eyebrows slightly raised, and she replied briefly, "I know."

Cohen gave Isabella a look and then came to the interrogation room.

Seeing someone finally show up, Samuel breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

However, when he saw the visitor's attire, his heart began to tighten again.

He was dressed in black and had a strange black-patterned mask on his face. It was obvious that he was not a good person.

Samuel couldn't utter the words he had prepared in his mind to scold the police officers for not obeying the imperial laws.

Cohen didn't say a word after entering the interrogation room. He sat directly opposite Samuel, staring at him as if he was admiring some interesting prey.

The atmosphere in the interrogation room was extremely depressing.

Samuel was a little scared by Cohen's stare, and couldn't help but say:
"who are you?

Where are the police officers?"

Cohen chuckled and replied slowly:

"I thought that Mr. Samuel Jones, the Secretary General of the Legal Committee of the Imperial House of Lords, would first say to me: 'We are not abiding by the laws of the Empire!'"

Samuel's face darkened. The other party knew his true identity!

He has realized that this is a conspiracy against him.

who can that be?

It is very likely that he is the Chief’s political enemy, who wants to use me as a breakthrough point.

Thinking of this, Samuel calmed down.

He is not afraid of domestic political struggles. In the current political situation of the Central Empire, only the royal family and the House of Nobles dominate. He does not care about other forces.

Given his status, no one dared to do anything to him.

At most, he could get some information from him, and Samuel had enough confidence and courage to deal with it.

Thinking of this, Samuel couldn't help but sit up straight. He was now representing the face of Chief Heisenberg and could not lose face!
Cohen's voice sounded from across from him:
"There are a few things I want to confirm with Mr. Samuel."

Since his identity had been discovered, Samuel simply stopped pretending and his tone suddenly became much more arrogant:
“Tell me your job title.

I am the Secretary General of the Legal Committee of the Imperial House of Peers. Ordinary people are not qualified to interrogate me."

A hint of amusement appeared on Cohen's lips as he said:

“Position?
If you really want to know, I can tell you."

He paused and said in a cold tone:

"Director of the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Effiin Military Committee!"

When Samuel heard Cohen's answer, he was struck by lightning, his eyes widened, and his calmness and confidence were gone.

He couldn't help but stand up and looked at Cohen in astonishment.

What the hell?

Aifeiyin is the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau?
Samuel felt a sense of unreality that he might still be in Florence and not have returned.

He shook his head. Cohen's strange outfit suddenly reminded him of someone.

Lord of Shadow!

Samuel's heart suddenly rose to his throat. It was really him!
Damn, why did the Lord of Shadows appear in the Central Empire?
And why can he command the police officers of the Central Empire to work for him?
In an instant, he thought of more.

Had the other party already been targeting him in Florence? But then a bigger question emerged in his mind: since he had already discovered his true identity, why didn't he take action in Florence, his territory, but instead let him return home.

Samuel felt a throbbing pain in his head. The sudden amount of information made him a little unable to understand.

Cohen said calmly:

"Are you willing to cooperate?"

Samuel took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
“I don’t know how you mobilize the police officers of our empire.

But I warn you, this is not Effiin, and you are arresting a high-ranking official of the Central Empire without permission.

Once this news gets out, it will be seen as the most serious challenge to the dignity of the Central Empire. Neither you nor Effiin behind you can bear this consequence."

A hint of laughter flashed in Cohen's eyes, and he said slowly:

"Don't get excited, Mr. Samuel.

Since you don't want to talk, how about I talk and you listen?"

Samuel frowned, not knowing what the other party was up to. He stood up coldly and spoke in an unusually harsh tone:

"There's nothing to discuss between you and me. Let me go immediately."

Cohen didn't care about Samuel's hostile attitude at all, and replied with a faint smile:

"That's not necessarily true, I think we still have common topics.

For example... August 316, 8 in the mainland calendar.

Mr. Samuel should remember this day vividly! "

When Samuel heard the time point from Cohen's mouth, he was stunned for a moment. Soon, his handsome face turned pale and his pupils became large, as if some indescribable fear and horror enveloped him.

Cohen poured Samuel a glass of water and continued:
"Well, Mr. Samuel, do you have something to ask me?"

Samuel pushed the cup away, staring intently at Cohen, his voice almost roaring:
"Tell me, who told you that?

How did you know this day? "

Cohen said slowly:

"Of course you told me, Mr. Samuel!"

Samuel stood up suddenly, his mood became extremely angry and violent, and he shouted hysterically:
"You're talking nonsense!

I don't!
I didn’t tell you!”

Cohen suddenly burst into laughter and pointed at the excited Samuel and said:
“Chief Heisenberg and you are the only ones who know this.

If it wasn't you who said it, was it Heisenberg who said it?"

An irrepressible fear crept into Samuel's heart. His face flushed crimson and he roared:
“I didn’t say that, I didn’t say that!

It’s you, it’s you, you are the son of prophecy, you are the son of prophecy!

You predicted it yourself, it has nothing to do with me."

Cohen's tone remained calm as he spoke patiently:
"Well, let's just say it was my own prediction.

Then, please tell me, Mr. Samuel, why should I predict such a day for no reason?

Samuel suddenly froze in place, his nostrils flaring rapidly, and every breath seemed to use up all his strength.

A short, sharp gasp came from his throat.

Cohen slowly walked to Samuel's side, and his voice, like the whisper of a devil, slowly sounded in his ears:

"Guess what Heisenberg would think if he heard about this.

No matter how powerful I am, I can't predict such a day for no reason, unless someone gives me a hint and asks me to predict something.

for example……"

Cohen's next words were like a thunderbolt, booming in the ears of Samuel and Her Majesty the Empress Klein, who was observing the interrogation process.

"The truth behind the death of the previous emperor of the Central Empire!"

With a bang, Samuel seemed to be thrown onto the chair by a pair of invisible big hands, and his body shook uncontrollably like a sieve, as if all his strength was drained away by fear.

Shanice Klein in the observation room had a look of great shock and confusion in her dark purple pupils, and her aura burst out uncontrollably.

Isabella on the side quickly held Shanice's hand, and the latter gradually calmed down.

Shanice took a deep breath, her eyes becoming more serious than ever before.

After Cohen's reminder, she did realize the problem.

Although my father is old, he has always been in good health. His serious illness came very suddenly.

The situation was urgent at the time. In order to be able to return and ascend the throne smoothly, she did not consider many things. Looking back now, there were indeed many unreasonable things.

Could it be that……

Shanice's hands trembled slightly, her chest filled with unspeakable anger and sorrow as she continued to watch the scene in the interrogation room.

In the interrogation room, Cohen patted Samuel on the shoulder and said calmly:
"What are you afraid of? It's not you who did it. You're just an insider. Even if Her Majesty the Empress investigates you in the future, you can still save your life."

Samuel's face was filled with despair.

Is he afraid of the Empress?

No, his immediate superior Heisenberg is even more terrifying than the Empress!
He was a man who could chat and laugh with the devil king in hell!
He had no doubt that once the matter was leaked, Heisenberg would definitely throw him into the hell plane to fend for himself.

Samuel glared at Cohen:

"How did you know this? Like you said, you wouldn't predict this date for no reason. Tell me, how did you know this?"

Cohen sneered:
"Besides you two, there's another person who knows about this and he's not even human!
You wouldn't expect the devil king Heisenberg contacted to have any sense of contract, would you? "

Samuel felt a sense of absurdity and looked at Cohen in disbelief. He said:
"The Devil King is the demigod closest to a god in the entire continent. You're not going to tell me that a demigod told you about his plan with Heisenberg?"

Cohen shrugged slightly and replied:
"You should have investigated me. Don't you know that I had a friendly exchange with Ares, the God of War, when I was in the second stage?"

Samuel stood there in a daze. Everything that happened today overturned his worldview.

Cohen coughed lightly and said:

"Well, I'm not from the Central Empire, so I'm not interested in your dirty political struggles.

As long as you cooperate obediently from now on, I won’t say a word to anyone else about what I said today.”

Samuel seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and asked anxiously:
"really?"

Cohen said calmly:

"You have no choice but to trust me, otherwise, your Queen will know the truth immediately.

Don’t think that I can’t meet your Queen. To tell you the truth, I have a very good friend, her name is Windsardelle Windrunner!
This name should be familiar to you."

When Samuel heard Windsardler's name, he suddenly became dejected and nodded resignedly:
"I hope you keep your word."

Shanice clearly felt that Isabella's grip on her hand had tightened a lot.

She turned her head slightly and saw Isabella with a cold expression.

Shannis couldn't help but laugh. Her anger subsided a lot, and she asked in a low voice:

"Hey, who came first, you or Windsor?"

Isabella's breathing stagnated, and she then remembered her best friend who seemed to be her rival in love. She calmed down and replied calmly:
"I didn't expect His Majesty to be such a gossipy person!"

Shanice, however, didn't care about the aggression in Isabella's words and continued:
“Looking back now, I’m afraid it was he who saved your life during the Emerald Lake Battle a year ago.

If I guessed correctly, the original plan of "Black Tomb" should have been successful, but he had predicted it in advance.

He even brought in two saints to help you and changed your fate, right?

The hero saves the beauty, and the beauty falls in love with him. How enviable! "

As she spoke, a strange light flashed in Shanice's eyes.

As a princess who has been pampered since childhood, Shanice also longed for the love story of the princess and knight. Unfortunately, at the age when she needed the nourishment of love, a woman forced her to have a mysterious fiancé!
Isabella raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at the slightly distracted Shannis, chuckled, and said:
“Your Majesty, if he helps you uncover the truth about your father’s death.

You say, isn't this also another kind of hero saving a beautiful woman? "

Shannis's expression froze for a moment, then she regained her composure and said calmly:

"I don't have the habit of stealing other people's husbands!"

Not to mention the tit-for-tat between Shanice and Isabella, in the interrogation room, Samuel had completely given up resistance at this time, and faced Cohen's questions, he told everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

Cohen asked about Heisenberg's specific plan of action against Effiin.

Samuel told Heisenberg everything he knew, including most of his plans. Of course, when it came to some high-end combat power, Samuel was naturally not aware of it.

I guess even he doesn't know what other forces Heisenberg has contacted.

Finally, Cohen asked the question that concerned him most:
“Tell me, why are you targeting Effiin?
A small principality in the northwest continent doesn't seem to be worth Heisenberg's efforts."

Samuel sighed and said:

"It's about your queen, Adair Angryn."

Hearing this, Shanice outside couldn't help but prick up her ears.

She actually didn't quite understand why Heisenberg was so determined to deal with Eifin, and was very surprised to hear Samuel say this.

Heisenberg was actually doing this for Adele?
Her lifelong enemy?
Isabella next to him had a look of "I see."

No wonder this bastard went to the Central Empire and contacted the Central Empress to catch Samuel. It turns out that the source of everything was Yadel!
Inside the interrogation room, Cohen's expression grew much colder, and his tone unconsciously carried a hint of murderous intent:
"why?"

Samuel sorted out his thoughts and said:
“Let me start from the beginning.

After Heisenberg killed the king, he supported the young princess of the royal family, Shanice Klein.

Originally, he used Shanice as a puppet, but the Empress's abilities and skills far exceeded Heisenberg's expectations.

Not only did he reach a close alliance with the Winged Elves of the Elf Royal Family, he even secretly won over many of the country's nobles.

Even several saints in the country were impressed by her abilities and sided with her.

The situation Heisenberg faced took a sharp turn for the worse. After all, he had committed such a heinous act as regicide, and he would sooner or later become a hidden danger.

If he had not seized power early, his fate would be predictable.

Therefore, he went to great lengths to find the 'Son of Prophecy' of the Prophecy Church and made a prophecy."

Having said that, Samuel couldn't help but look at Cohen. Why did he feel that the other party was even more powerful than the "Son of Prophecy".

Cohen asked:

"What prophecy?"

Samuel said in a deep voice:
"The only means to suppress Her Majesty Empress Senis Clyne—Queen Effiin, Yadel Angryn!"
