Chapter 545 Destroying Enemies With Scheme

Noel smiled. He acknowledged the power behind the Eternal Flower.

Though, no one expected that Harley had grown it to this degree. He felt a bit bad that everything that had been built so far became his right this instant.

Noel looked down for a moment, contemplating. On the one hand, he didnʼt want to use the Eternal Flower because he still didnʼt understand their depth and abilities. On the other hand, he had to ask for their help.

After all, Harleyʼs loyalty was actually of great help to his current plan.

Seeing the hesitation on Noelʼs face, Harley immediately asked, ”Is there anything troubling you, Master? If you need our help, you only have to say the words. We shall assist you to the best of our abilities.”

Noel remained silent for a moment before glancing at the maid, who maintained her neutrality. It seemed that even though he was their leader, he still couldnʼt capture the heart of his subordinates.

Noel sighed. ”As much as I donʼt want to involve you in this, getting your help will smoothen the entire progress. So, I need your help, Harley.”

”Please tell me about the problem.”

”First of all, I have to confirm it first. The noble you are dealing with is…”

”Count Leinberd, but he is a direct subordinate of Marquis Walford. Everything in our agreement must be traced back to the marquis. In other words, if we play our card right, we can destroy the marquis. Well, this might be a personal reason, one that I shouldnʼt use if I want to take care of my enemy, but the marquis has been eyeing for the Ardagan Familyʼs wealth.

”Because of that, the people under your father donʼt like him very much. Now that there is a chance to crush him, Iʼm trying to use that opportunity…”

”Do you have any concrete plan?” Noel asked.

”Iʼm planning to form a good relationship with the Count first while trying to make him misunderstand my affiliation and relationship with the Supreme Devil Organization. After that, Iʼll use that connection to meet the marquis and find any concrete proof to report him to the royal family.

”Although the marquis is strong, the moment we publicize the evidence, the public opinion will cause instability in the family. Even the Royal Family has no other way but to act against them despite being one of their allies.”N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapterʼs release on N0v3l--B1n.

Noel pinched the bridge of his nose. The plan was good, but it would take too long. Noel also had a plan in his mind, but with this cooperation, he had to adjust it a little bit.

”Say…” Noel was hesitant a little bit but still continued, ”What if we donʼt need proof to destroy them? Instead, how about we create the proof itself?”

”Thatʼs a good plan, but that depends on the proof itself. We canʼt create the proof from nothing, Master. Itʼll lack credibility, and the royal family will help them instead of judging them.” Harley shook his help.

”No. I donʼt mean the proof related to the Supreme Devil Organization. Instead, we shall create proof that will strengthen the suspicion of others that theyʼre related to that organization.” Noel smirked.

”Huh? I apologize, but I donʼt really understand what youʼre talking about.”

”Since you have been following me, you should know about Runes, right?”

”No. Although weʼve been following your news, we never go too close since itʼs Dimitriʼs mission, not us.”

”I see. What if I told you that I had a book of the completed version of the Spirit Enchantment? It can allow a normal person to be as strong as the demons of the same level without the help of spirits! And the ones who can cultivate it are not limited to Master Blacksmith.”

”!!!” Harley was stunned by the explanation, but he still didnʼt understand why he mentioned it.

Noel smiled. ”Do you have a map here? Iʼm going to explain my plan and see if you think you can help or not.”

Harley nodded. ”Illia, get the map and a few pieces. We need the entire Western Region Map and the map that covers one hundred kilometers around Tamworth.”

Illia acknowledged the order and retrieved the maps immediately. During that time, Harley cleaned up the table so that they could put the map on it.

As soon as he laid the map down, Noel saw a few familiar names.

Count Leinberd, Marquis Walford, Countess Christina. Everything was written on the map and their territory was near each other.

Noel smirked and pointed at these three territories. ”My plan will involve these three people.”

”Hmm? Countess Christina is your fatherʼs ally, Master.”

”Of course. Iʼm planning to ʼgiveʼ her the book. And I want you to help me spread the word about this.

”Weʼll use her and the book as bait to lure out the Count. Iʼm sure that the Count will come and try to snatch the book.

”If theyʼre truly related to the Supreme Devil Organization, the Count will hand this book to the marquis in order to get something big. And the latter will use it as collateral in the Supreme Devil Organization.

”But during that time, weʼre going to spread the news that the marquis has the book. You should know the worth of that book and the Third Prince has known about the bookʼs existence.

”Thatʼs why Iʼm sure that the Supreme Devil Organization, the Third Prince, and even the Royal Family will be eyeing that book. Then…” Noel smirked. He didnʼt have to finish it.

Harley already understood his plan. ”Though, I have to ask… Are you planning to spread the knowledge?”

”Yes. I have two reasons. The knowledge is beyond a personʼs ability, so itʼs better to spread it instead of monopolizing it. In addition, for my goal, I have to increase the overall ability of humanity. Iʼve asked some people to spread the knowledge in other kingdoms, so you donʼt have to worry about it.”

”I see…” Harley pondered for a moment. It seemed that he agreed with the plan, but he had to confirm a few things. ”So…”
