I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

Simmons paced back and forth in the room.

Although he did not go to the council chamber, a layer of sweat had already seeped from his forehead.

This time, the orders he gave Dreiser were different from those before.

Assassination!

If successful, he will be the next king.

Just thinking about it makes Simmons excited.

However, Simmons was still somewhat uneasy.

"It's okay if we fail, but what if we get exposed? What if they trace it back to me..."

Simmons sat down, took a big gulp of tea, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and muttered to himself, "No way, Dreiser may only be a sixth-tier, but he's very powerful."

If I hadn't held his Achilles' heel, he would have escaped long ago.

Arlin, who was hiding in the shadows protecting Simmons, frowned and suddenly appeared in front of Simmons.

"Your Highness, someone is approaching in this direction."

"What?"

Simmons sat bolt upright, his face tense. "Have they really tracked us down?"

If Dreiser succeeds, he will definitely come back first.

"Calm down, Your Highness!"

Yarlin pressed down on Simmons' shoulder and said, "It's possible that Dreiser failed."

With Lemens protecting His Majesty, even if Dreiser manages to complete his mission by surprise, he will still be killed by Lemens.

Isn't this exactly the best-case scenario we've been hoping for?

The person coming in might just be informing you of the death of the previous king.

The phrase "previous president" struck a chord with Simmons.

"Yes, yes, I can't panic!"

Simmons patted his chest, let out a heavy sigh, and said, "Even if Dreiser fails, they have no evidence and cannot suspect me."

......

"Simmons, you come out here!"

Tester, who had been hurrying along, was stopped outside Simmons' residence by Yarlin, who had come out to stall for time.

"Your Highness Tester, the Crown Prince is resting. You can ask me to pass on your message."

Yarlin stood in front of Tester, appearing humble and respectful.

"rest?"

Anno opened his eyes and activated [X-ray vision] to look inside the room.

Simmons appeared to be catching his breath at this moment, clearly not having rested.

After rubbing his eyes, Anno pulled Tester aside and whispered a few words in his ear.

Tester frowned, walked over to Arlin, and said in a somber tone, "My father was just assassinated, and the situation is very serious."

"Bring Simmons out; I want to take him to see my father one last time!"

Crunch!

The door opened.

Simmons emerged from inside, somewhat flustered, and stared at Tester with disbelief. "What did you say? Father was assassinated and is in critical condition?"

I didn't say he was in critical condition; I just said the situation was very serious.

Tester snorted inwardly, but outwardly he still had to put on a show.

Meanwhile, Anno, who was standing next to Simmons, began observing him the moment he came out.

Then Anno noticed a brocade pouch on Simmons' waist.

Judging from the shape of the brocade bag, it should contain a small cube.

"【perspective】!"

Anno used [X-ray vision] again and saw that what was inside was indeed a Rubik's Cube, namely Pandora!

However, now is not the time to expose Simmons.

As everyone hurriedly returned to the outside of the council chamber, Simmons started howling from a distance.

"My father, who the hell dares to assassinate you?"

"Whoever it is, I will issue a nationwide arrest warrant after I take office, and I will make sure the assassin is brought to justice..."

Simmons, who rushed into the council chamber, stopped abruptly when he saw the king on the throne.

"Father is alright!"

Although the king looked somewhat weak.

However, this is a side effect of the Void Erosion caused by Draiser's previous skill.

This was not what Simmons had in mind.

Seeing everyone in the council chamber staring at him, Simmons turned to Tester and asked, "Tester, you...didn't you say Father was on the verge of death?"

"What, are you disappointed?"

Tester's lips curled into a smile as he said, "I was talking about my father's assassination attempt, which is extremely serious. When did I ever say my father was on the verge of death?"

Simmons thought about it carefully.

It really is!

I can only blame myself for getting too excited.

However, it seems that Dreiser did not betray himself.

Otherwise, Tester wouldn't have lied to himself like this.

Simmons forced a calm expression, forcing an unnatural smile, and asked, "What... what's going on?"

At this moment, Tester looked at Charles XI and said, "Father, the Void creature that assassinated you said before it died that it was imprisoned in Pandora, and everyone heard that."

As for the so-called Pandora, Anno knew the information.

"Oh?"

Charles XI looked at Lemons beside him, who shook his head, indicating that he knew nothing about Pandora.

Charles XI then looked at Anno and asked, "Baron Anno, what exactly is Pandora?"

Anno stepped forward and addressed the crowd, saying, "Pandora is a cube-shaped object the size of a palm..."

Anno's first words made Simmons' heart skip a beat.

His hand unconsciously went to the brocade pouch at his waist.

"...Each side has different magic patterns and is divided into many pieces."

If the magic runes on one side are put back in place, dangerous monsters will be released.

The void creature that assassinated you was released from Pandora by someone who then used unknown means to control it.

Anno did not fully explain the importance of Pandora.

But every word he said struck Simmons like a hammer blow to the chest.

He was certain that he had never let Anno see the contents of the brocade bag.

However, Anno accurately described Pandora's characteristics.

This shows that Anno had indeed seen this thing and knew its effects!

And crucially, while Dreiser didn't betray him, he did betray the so-called Pandora.

I must throw this thing away when I get back; I absolutely cannot let anyone suspect me.

Simmons somewhat regretted bringing Pandora with him when he went out.

But there's no way to store this thing in storage equipment.

Simmons remarked from the side, "It's truly amazing that something like Pandora exists in the world!"

Upon hearing this, Anno smiled at Simmons and said, "Your Highness Simmons, there are even more amazing things in this world!"

Simmons saw Anno's smile and instinctively felt something was wrong. He forced a smile and asked, "What is it?"

"The amazing thing is that this magical item is right there in the brocade pouch at Your Highness's waist!"

After Anno finished speaking, everyone present turned their attention to the brocade pouch at Simmons' waist.

"this......"

Simmons noticed that Charles XI was also looking at him, and his hands trembled as he brought the brocade bag to his front.

When the bag was opened and a cube-shaped object, just as Anno had described, appeared before everyone's eyes, the way everyone looked at Simmons changed.

Clang!

Simmons threw Pandora to the ground, looking anxious, and said, "Baron Anno, who is this? Who put such a dangerous thing in my bag? Huh? Who...who is trying to harm me?"
