Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 187: My fiancé is my best friend’s lover…

Cohen looked stunned. Samuel's answer was totally beyond his expectation.

He originally thought that some kind of connection between the Queen's sister and the gods had given Heisenberg some idea, but he didn't expect it to be such an unfounded prophecy?

The reason why Chief Heisenberg went to great lengths to target the Queen's sister was to deal with Her Majesty the Empress of the Central Empire?
This reason is a bit too absurd.

Samuel saw Cohen's expression and said with a wry smile:

"Isn't it funny? The reason Heisenberg went to such great lengths to capture Queen Effiin was because of this prophecy.

When Heisenberg first received this prophecy, he didn't quite believe it.

But as time went on, he felt more and more that this prophecy was not groundless.

Because a long time ago, Her Majesty had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Queen Effiin, and since then, Her Majesty has always been paying close attention to this queen from a remote small country in the northwest continent.

People were often sent to keep an eye on this woman's movements from time to time. I heard that when His Majesty learned that Yadel was married, he felt very sorry. It seemed that in His Majesty's opinion, such a woman should not get married so early.

No matter who looked at it, His Majesty and Queen Effiin seemed to be destined rivals.

In addition, according to the news from Aifeiyin, Queen Aifeiyin's cultivation speed is getting faster and faster, and she is almost at the legendary level before she is thirty years old.

It simply doesn't seem like a talent that a normal person can possess.

Therefore, Heisenberg became more certain of the authenticity of this prediction.

Anyway, it wouldn't cost much to deal with a small principality, so Heisenberg chose to give it a try."

What does destroying you have to do with you?

Cohen could understand Heisenberg's mentality. For the chief of the House of Nobles in the Central Empire, dealing with a remote small country in the northwest continent could be said to be a piece of cake without paying too much price.

It would be great if the prophecy was true, but even if it was false, it was just a small country, so if it was destroyed, it would not have any impact on him.

Cohen took a deep breath and asked coldly:
"What are you going to do? From what I know, Queen Effiin doesn't seem to surrender so easily."

Samuel pursed his lips and continued:

“There are two plans. The best plan is that we can successfully capture Queen Effiin and make her ours.

If this plan fails, we have a backup plan.

That is to arouse Queen Effiin's hatred towards the Central Empire and even Her Majesty the Empress!"

"How to stir up hatred..."

After asking this question, Cohen suddenly woke up. He knew how to arouse Adair's hatred.

Sure enough, Samuel's next words were exactly what he was thinking:

"In the name of the Central Empire, kill her husband, King Effiin!

We have analyzed that Queen Effiin's Achilles' heel is her husband. Killing her husband will definitely arouse her endless hatred.

By then, Queen Effiin will naturally develop a deep hatred for Her Majesty the Empress without our intervention!"

Outside, Shanice was stunned.

I didn't expect that Heisenberg chose to attack Effiin because of such a prophecy, and at the same time, a trace of resentment surged in his heart.

Why is this woman, Adele, the only means to suppress me?

Are your predictions reliable?
Isabella also looked at Shanice in surprise. She didn't expect that the source of all the trouble was actually her.

Did Aifeiyin become an innocent victim of this misfortune?

There was a flicker of thought between Cohen's brows. This was actually the reason why Heisenberg targeted the Queen's sister. Then... what about the Black Tomb?

He had learned from Rosalina that Black Tomb did not choose to attack Effiin just because of Prince Xia Zuo.

The top leaders of the "Black Tomb" also have intentions targeting Effiin, and it is very likely that it is Yadel.

Unfortunately, this information is not accessible to Rosalina.

Cohen's expression gradually returned to calm, and he said to Samuel, who had lost his mind:

"Good cooperation. As long as you continue to be obedient, I won't tell anyone about your affairs."

Samuel didn't show any joy on his face. His biggest secret was controlled by an outsider, which meant that his future destiny was in the hands of this person.

Cohen looked at Samuel's grief-stricken expression and said calmly:

"Don't worry, I won't ask you to do anything, just provide me with some information at the critical moment.

Sign this contract, and from now on, you will be the first station chief of our Aifeiyin Military Intelligence Bureau's overseas station!"

Samuel accepted the contract resignedly, read the terms, and sighed deeply.

"Now I can only count on you to defeat Heisenberg in the future?"

Cohen chuckled:
"We also need your help, let us work together for a common goal!

Mr. Samuel Jones!
Oh, no, I should call you the Station Master of Constantine (Central Empire Capital) Station!"

……

After Samuel left in a daze, Her Majesty the Queen Klein instantly appeared in front of Cohen.

Shannis stared at Cohen with her dark purple eyes and asked in a deep voice:
"How did my father die?

What is the special meaning of the day you mentioned to Samuel?

What else do you know! "

Cohen sighed softly and said:

“The curse of the King of Hell.

Heisenberg conspired with the King of Hell to create a curse potion for the soul.

The day I'm talking about is the day Samuel brought the potion.

At first, Samuel didn't know that it was a poison that was powerful enough to destroy the soul, and thought it was just an ordinary potion.

This potion is non-toxic and tasteless, and its effect is indeed used to strengthen the body. The only difference is that it contains a trace of the soul imprint of the King of Hell.

After drinking it, the user will gradually be cursed by the King of Hell, and the power of the soul will be continuously extracted by the King of Hell, and eventually die.

Heisenberg can get a powerful, ownerless human empire, and the King of Hell can get the soul of a human emperor.

The two hit it off and each got what they wanted.

But Heisenberg never imagined that by persuading the former emperor to support a weak woman to succeed to the throne, he could seize power.

As a result, the Empress' abilities and methods far exceeded his expectations and were a hundred times stronger than those of her incompetent brothers.

His plan failed!"

Deep hatred welled up on Shanice's delicate and picturesque face, and her aura burst out unconsciously.

Sensing the aura of the empress, Cohen was slightly surprised. No wonder she could rival the queen. Shanice was so young but she was almost at the eighth level.

After all, as the ruler of a country, Shanice quickly controlled her emotions and bowed slightly to Cohen:
"I owe you a favor for this matter. I will not pursue the matter of you planting intelligence personnel in our country."

Cohen was speechless. Are you kidding me? I planted the intelligence personnel so that we can better deal with Heisenberg. How can you say that I am taking advantage of you?

He opened his mouth and said:
"Your Majesty, since Heisenberg has such rebellious intentions, why don't we unite and take advantage of the fact that he is causing trouble in Effiin this time to give him a ruthless blow.

Let’s see what cards he has in his hand.”

Shannis was indifferent to Cohen's proposal. Her face was calm and she said calmly:
"Aifin is just a small country in the northwest, a tiny nation, and it's just a minor conflict.

I don't think I can even force him to reveal one tenth of his hidden cards. I have my own opinion on this matter, so there's no need for outsiders to worry about it."

Cohen was furious. This woman clearly looked down on others.

Okay, okay, you look down on Aifein, right? Woman, just wait for me, sooner or later there will be a day when you come to me and beg me for help!
Isabella was a little surprised. In her impression, Shanice didn't seem like someone who would speak like that.

Why do I feel like she has something against Cohen?
Isabella suppressed her doubts and said:
"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, we will leave first."

Shanice suddenly looked at Cohen and said:

"I just thought about it again, and your suggestion does have some merit.

How about this, we also sign a contract and communicate with me in time if you have any information about Heisenberg.

I will also let you know what information I find here."

Cohen's expression improved a little. This sounded more like human language.

As she spoke, Shanice had already taken out a blank contract.

Cohen felt strange. Normally, he gave contracts to others to sign, but now he received a contract from someone else. It was a novel experience.

But when I think about the fact that she is the empress of the Central Empire, I feel much better.

The contract was in duplicate. After Shanice finished writing the contents, she handed them to Cohen:

"Blood contract, just use your blood."

Cohen was happy not to sign, so he just cut his finger and dripped a drop of blood.

Shannis didn't see anything unusual, so she took the contract and tossed a communication stone to Cohen.
"Don't bother me, you can go now."

Cohen was really speechless about this arrogant woman. Well, considering that you are the emperor of the most powerful empire of mankind, I will endure it for now.

Then he took Isabella away without saying goodbye.

Cohen did not return to Florence through the "Book of Time and Space" immediately.

Now that I have come to the Central Empire, I have to find a place to imprint the "time and space node" to facilitate time management in the future... and to facilitate future travel and work.

As for the place to brand, Cohen couldn't think of anything better than Isabella's private residence.

Back at Isabella's private residence, the two couldn't help but linger for a while.

Before the gun went off, Cohen suppressed his desire, held Isabella in his arms, caressed the girl's porcelain-white body, and whispered:
"Thank you for your hard work during this period. It will be fine after you are done with this."

Isabella's beautiful face flushed, and she hummed softly:

"I'm afraid that after this busy period, you will have to concentrate on dealing with your queen!"

Cohen gently pinched Isabella's buttocks and whispered sweet words in her ear.

After the scarlet event ended, Cohen picked up the "Book of Time and Space" and left another space mark on Isabella's mansion.

With a flash of silver light, Cohen stepped into the vortex of time and space and returned to Florence. ...

After Cohen and Isabella left, Shanice's always cold face could no longer hold back.
A complicated expression suddenly appeared on his face.

She gently raised her right hand, and a drop of blood from Cohen was trapped in a ball of magic power, spinning around.

After standing there thinking for a long time, Her Majesty the Empress's expression became extremely firm, and then she disappeared in the interrogation room.

Central Empire, the Empress's bedroom.

Shannis slowly took out the engagement contract from the extra-dimensional space array, her eyes looking strange and uneasy.

She took a deep breath and put the blood into the marriage certificate.

As the bright red blood bead touched the marriage certificate, red light radiated in an instant.

The blank space where the man's name was originally covered by a mysterious force suddenly emitted a strange light.

It was as if ancient magic had been awakened.

In the flickering light, golden characters slowly emerged. The strokes were like nimble little snakes, winding out, and a name gradually became clear.

Corne Corleone!
The handwriting has a mysterious charm, and against the backdrop of bloodstains, it seems even more profound and mysterious.

When she saw the name, Shanice's originally calm expression instantly shattered. Her eyes widened, and the shock in her eyes was like a calm lake being hit by a huge rock, causing huge waves.

Shanice stood up suddenly, her wide imperial robe fluttering in the wind, knocking over the wine glass on the table.

"It's really him!"

Shanice's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of barely perceptible panic. She stared at the name on the marriage certificate, her hands unconsciously clenched, her knuckles turning white.

This bastard!

Is he the "Lord of Shadows"?
How did he avoid the saint-level spell "Memory Freeze"?

Does Adele know?
He probably didn't know, otherwise, with Adele's love for Cohen, she would never let him run around outside.

No, I don’t think so. The point is, why is his fiancée?

Bastard, did you find me a fiancé who has a wife?
And his wife is his lifelong enemy!
The more Shanice thought about it, the angrier she became, feeling filled with grievance and anger.

Soon Shanice realized something else: it seemed that one of his lovers was her best friend!
Shanice really wanted Cohen to come back and chop him into pieces.

This philandering bastard, a married man, is still hooking up with other women. Really...

After the shock, the expression on Shanice's face was gradually replaced by solemnity and thought. The air in the entire bedroom seemed to be frozen because of her emotional fluctuations.

She called her personal maid and ordered:

"Bring all the information Windsor has sent regarding the 'Lord of Shadows'.

Including his rise to fame in Florence and his movements in the 'Lost Lands'."

The palace maid acted quickly. Although she didn't know why Her Majesty the Empress suddenly became so interested in this "Lord of Shadows" in the middle of the night, she still quickly complied.

Shanice took a deep breath and began to browse the actions of her nominal fiancé!
"The Empress of the Central Empire? Is she... a deity?"

This is what Cohen said to Raymond before summoning the gods in the Extraordinary Arena.

Shanice snorted. This kid really doesn't know his place. He's so arrogant just after becoming famous.

Then watch on, from Cohen being invincible in the same level, to defeating higher-level enemies, to the unprecedented act of summoning gods.

This included leading the Six Saints War in Emerald Lake, teasing the Legend of the Black Tomb, and snatching the dragon egg in front of a group of peak transcendents.

The Central Empire's powerful intelligence capabilities provided Shanice with sufficiently detailed information about the "Lord of Shadows".

Including his encounter with Windsardler in the Kingdom of Ceylon and his adventure into the Star Valley with Windsardler.

Shanice speculated that something must have happened between the two of them in this Star Valley, causing Windsardler to start following Cohen and even enter the "Lost Land" with him.

As a result, the two fell in love with each other over time.

Shanice continued reading, and what followed was what he did in the "Land of the Lost".

This part mainly comes from Windsordale's narration.

Although it was said vaguely and there was suspicion that it was intended to conceal Cohen's true strength, battle reports can be deceiving, but battle lines cannot.

The fact that Cohen was able to build such a huge force in the "Lost Land" in just a few months is enough to demonstrate his ability and means.

The more Shanice looked, the more shocked she became. She didn't know the identity of the "Lord of Shadows" before, and thought that he was the heir of some hidden family on the continent. He must have a steady stream of support behind him, so it was understandable that he behaved like this.

Now that he knew that the so-called "Lord of Shadows" was actually the idiot king who was less than twenty years old in disguise, the horror and shock in his heart were beyond words.

Born in a small principality, what enabled him to achieve this?

Her Majesty the Empress murmured softly:

"No wonder he's so popular with women, he seems to have some real substance."

After reading about Cohen's short but wonderful journey of more than a year, Shanice fell into deep thought.

Now that I know his true identity, how should I treat him?

The first and most pressing question is whether or not he should tell Windsardelle the truth?

Shanice quickly rejected the idea in her mind.

Should she tell her best friend that her lover is my fiancé?

Shanni Siguang shuddered all over when she thought of that scene.

No, I can only pretend that I don’t know about this matter and see how Cohen ends up in the future!

So how should I treat my nominal fiancé?
Catch him and kill him, and then pretend that your fiancé never existed?
No, the engagement was promised and signed by me personally. At that time, I was thinking of delaying it for a few more decades.

Just drag the opponent to death and pretend nothing happened.

Looking at Cohen's performance, it seems that he has decent talent, so the trick of delaying time is of no use.

It is even more impossible to marry him. As the empress of the Central Empire, how can I share my husband with others?

But judging from Cohen's behavior, it didn't seem like he knew that he was engaged to her.

Maybe his mother didn't have time to tell him?

If that's the case, things will be easier to handle.

I could have humiliated him severely before he knew about this, making him feel disgusted and hostile towards me.

Reduce the favorability between two people.

A man as proud as Cohen would certainly not tolerate a woman humiliating and bullying him all day long.

In this case, even if he knows that the two of them are engaged in the future, he will choose to give up because of his preconceived stereotype!

The plan goes through!
Her Majesty the Empress praised her own wit.

Unfortunately, since she was a child, she has been pampered and lived in the inner palace. She has not had much contact with the opposite sex of her age, so she lacks the necessary understanding of men.

For a man, the best way to take revenge on a woman of noble status and stunning beauty is not to distance yourself from her and reject her, but to ruthlessly conquer her, fill her whole body with all your energy, and leave her with your own mark!
Her Majesty the Empress is definitely playing with fire and getting burned!
……

Cohen looked at the long paragraph of warnings and reprimands sent by Her Majesty the Empress via the communication stone and felt baffled.

Why did this woman suddenly go crazy? Why did she scold me for no reason?

What does it have to do with you how many women I have? Is the empress of the Central Empire usually so idle? She doesn't care about state affairs and just cares about other people's private affairs.

Cohen felt a toothache as he looked at Shanice's long "essay".

After all, this woman is of noble status, so the priority right now is to comfort her. How should I respond?
Not far away, Hermann, who came to report on his work, had been standing there for a long time.

Now Herman has been sent back by the Gore and DuPont families to infiltrate the Military Control Commission.

Therefore, he could enter and leave the Military Intelligence Bureau building with great fanfare without arousing anyone's suspicion.

Herman saw Cohen staring at a communication stone for a long time, with a strange expression on his face, and asked:
"Your Majesty, is there any bad information?"

Cohen pursed his lips slightly and asked in a deep voice:
"Hermann, based on your experience, how should I deal with someone who is being unreasonable and just harassing me?

Well, this person is still of some help to us at the moment.”

Herman's eyes moved slightly, and he asked in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, can you tell me whether this person is a man or a woman?"

Cohen coughed lightly and covered it up:
"Is this important?"

Hermann whispered back:
"I see.

Your Majesty, if this person is really important, my advice is to ignore him.

This kind of woman... the more you confront her, the more excited she becomes, and the end result is only an intensification of the conflict.

Ignore her, and after a while she'll get bored and stop harassing you."

Cohen nodded thoughtfully and asked about the matter:

"Is there any movement from the DuPont family these days?"

Herman replied in a deep voice:
“It’s much more positive than before.

Ever since Samuel gave the DuPont family a reassurance, they have clearly quickened their pace and recently stuffed a lot of people from the "Bound Church" into the East Suburbs Prison.

According to preliminary estimates, there are currently about ten gold-level transcendents in the East Suburb Prison, more than fifty silver-level transcendents, and over a hundred bronze-level transcendents.

Almost half of the new forces of the Bound Church are there."

Cohen was also a little surprised by this number. Such a huge force could easily rival a "conventional" army.

Especially in the royal capital, if an uprising were to occur, the impact on the entire situation would be unquestionable.

"what is your opinion?"

Hermann bowed slightly:
"The current high-end forces of the Military Control Commission are not enough to deal with these people. It would be best if Her Majesty the Queen could handle them."

Cohen nodded slightly and said:
“I understand, keep watching the DuPont family.

Jinwoning Dupont is a legendary level, and he has at least one small sub-plane in his hands.

Furthermore, they are Nephthys' enemies. No matter what, we cannot allow them to escape!"
