Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 1187: Chapter 188: Lady Bayonetta’s Restless Heart and the News from the Speaker, Lavish Gift_4

The mirror reflected her figure: her hair slightly messy, a few damp strands sticking to her smooth forehead and the side of her slender neck. Her nightgown was disheveled, revealing a tantalizing expanse of snow-white, voluptuous skin. Those eyes, always calm and composed, were now covered with a layer of misty longing, mixed with unresolved shock and a void she couldn’t decipher. The unusual blush on her cheeks had yet to fade fully, adding a breathtaking, decadent allure to her exquisite face.

She gazed at herself in the mirror, a strong wave of shame and resentment surged through her heart once more. This wasn’t just anger towards Su Li’s offense, but also towards her body’s treacherous reaction that betrayed her will!

”Su Li...” Lady Bayonetta whispered to the mirror with a voice both angry and alluring, yet the blend of hatred, humiliation, and a secret flame in her eyes burned even more intensely, ”What you did to me... I will repay a hundredfold! I will make you... suffer a price you cannot imagine!”

Yet, beneath her resolute vow, the burning void deep inside her, ignited forcibly by the dream, smoldered like inextinguishable embers, silently blazing within her noble form, heralding a secret war starting from the depths of her soul, destined not to die down easily.

While Lady Bayonetta tossed and turned restlessly, the council’s members remained awake through the night. After leaving the Black Forest Commerce Association’s residence, Smith was taken straight to the Parliament Building.

Vigo Malcolm, the chairman, sat behind the tall principal table, his figure shrouded in shadows, with the dim candlelight stretching his silhouette to make him seem particularly authoritative.

Facing Smith, who had been forcibly brought in by the guards, he spoke in a cold tone, ”Don’t be nervous, Smith. I merely want to convey some goodwill through you to Lord Su Li!”

Cold sweat broke out across Smith’s delicate face. Even though he was a senator, he didn’t want to offend the entire council, especially since he didn’t want to end up shot eight times from behind, so he quickly said, ”That’s great, Mr. Chairman. In fact, Lord Su Li also wants to convey goodwill to us. Just now, I struck an agreement with Lord Su Li at the Black Forest Commerce Association’s residence, and he has already agreed to supply us with a batch of Star Iron Armor first.”

”He promised verbally that if the council were to wage war against the City Lord, even if the City Lord is Legendary Level, he would lend us a helping hand. You know, under Lord Su Li, there is a Legendary Level Dwarf Heroic Spirit and 8 Chosen Ones! His willingness to help us against the City Lord would be our greatest asset!”

A Legendary Level Dwarf Heroic Spirit and 8 Chosen Ones! As this news broke, all the senators in the council gasped as if the temperature had suddenly dropped by several degrees.

No wonder he was so aggressive today; his strength even surpasses that of the Marle Castle Lord! Naturally, he has the confidence to dominate all.

Vigo Malcolm’s face was hidden in the shadow at the end of the long table. After a moment of silence, he spoke coldly, ”Very well. We might as well convey some goodwill to him. At dawn tomorrow, visit Lord Su Li and tell him that Baron von Kleist of the Electorate Council has already sent someone to contact the Night Wanderer Corpses to help him solve the mess he has made. Inform Lord Su Li to prepare early.”

”Moreover, we need to send Lord Su Li a generous gift, and we’ll need to borrow something from you.”

Smith immediately broke free from the guards, took a step back, nervously touching his neck, and asked, ”What do you want to borrow? Not my head, I hope?”

”Rest assured, Senator Smith.” Vigo Malcolm’s voice was devoid of emotion, ”You are one of us. How could we do that to you?”

”I heard that you’ve recently come into possession of a treasure, the Sensual Torture Silver Harp. Hand it over to me, I’ll prepare a gift for Lord Su Li that he’ll never forget!”
