Sir! Don't close the net!

Valkyrie blinked.

As the sea breeze blew by, Valkyrie suddenly realized what was happening and patted Abel on the shoulder.

“Mr. Future Promising, you should have said so earlier. My family’s Li Yili has caused you trouble. I’ll go and take her away right away. Ah, no need for you to lead the way, I can sense her location.”

After saying that, Valkyrie carried Gungnir and swaggered into the mask factory.

Selvi shifted his feet, instinctively wanting to follow, but Abel stood still without moving. As the bishop, he could only stand aside as a background figure. The most important thing now was to get Valkyrie to take Li Yili away.

Selvi glanced furtively at Abel's tall, straight back and breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really startled when the Morning Star, who had been entrusted with an important task by Bishop Azawi, suddenly appeared and said he would try Li Yili. Now it seems that this candidate was only speaking so definitively to defend Bishop Azawi's name.

Valkyrie rested her chin on her hand, carefully looked Abel up and down, then tilted her head and said, "Lei can't take Li Yili away."

“That’s right,” Abel replied quite readily.

Servi was stunned, his eyes widening.

"This way, no, this way, ah—how come these guys dug such complicated tunnels like rats?"

Valkyrie suppressed the urge to kick the walls all the way to the dungeon, and patiently made her way through the dark tunnel to the front of the dungeon. Before she even got close to the door, Valkyrie heard a familiar voice. The strong voice made Valkyrie breathe a sigh of relief, and she raised her hand to knock on the iron door.

"How old are you? What are you doing here?"

"My age is probably only a fraction of yours."

The leisurely sounds coming from behind the door made the veins on Valkyrie's forehead bulge. Her raised fist suddenly accelerated and struck the iron door with a bolt of lightning. With a piercing creak, the iron door twisted around Valkyrie's fist, and small cracks spread along the door frame from the thick metal.

"boom--"

The heavy iron door slammed onto the ground, and the resulting dust quickly engulfed the entire dungeon.

Valkyrie waved her hand to disperse the dust, stepped into the dungeon, and after scanning left and right, finally found Li Yili's figure in a corner of the dungeon. She put one hand on her waist and said, "Although I know you are a man who likes to play on the edge of a knife, this time you have gone a bit too far. The agreement between Galar Horn and Bishop Azawi is not as reliable as you think."

"Speaking of which..."

Valkyrie blinked, squatted down in front of Li Yili, and patted Li Yili's face.

Are you alright?

Li Yili rolled her eyes and slapped away Valkyrie's hand that was touching her face. "Very bad."

“That’s true, it is a dungeon after all, but no problem, because I’m here!” Valkyrie raised her hand and patted her chest. “The matter has been settled, come back with me.”

“I’m not leaving,” Li Yili yawned. “I’m here to turn myself in.”

"Huh? Are you serious?" Valhae Rae's face fell. "If you push Bishop Azavet too far, they really might hang you."

Valkyrie paused, then held up three fingers.

"At most three days."

"So that's how it is. We have to wait three more days," Li Yili sighed, rubbing her forehead. "It's like being slowly sliced ​​to death. Can't they just give us a quick end?"

Valkyrie blinked, realizing what was happening, and grabbed Li Yili by the collar, glaring at her fiercely. "You really want to die? Don't tell me you had a change of heart and think you've indirectly done so many awful things that you don't deserve to live. You're not that kind of good person."

"Ha... Don't let my appearance fool you, when things get big enough, I get guilty too," Li Yili let out a long sigh. "What if I told you I indirectly caused the deaths of ten people?"

Valkyrie raised an eyebrow. "Do you know how many people I've killed?"

"How many innocent people have you killed?"

This time, Valhae Rei did not answer.

She is a Valkyrie, existing for battle, but she will only fight on the battlefield.

She will only kill those who want to kill her; she will never harm innocent people.

"What if I told you that I indirectly caused the deaths of a hundred innocent people?"

"This……"

Valkyrie hesitated.

If it were only ten people, she could lie and say there was nothing she could do, but a hundred is a bit of an exaggeration.

"What if I told you that I indirectly caused the deaths of a thousand or ten thousand people?"

"Cough cough cough... Would a black goat's cub really make such a big move?" Valkyrie coughed heavily a few times, her grip on Li Yili's hand loosening slightly. "Why don't you... go find the victims' families first and kowtow a few times... you know, it's indirect, but I already said it's indirect, you didn't do it on purpose, and you don't deserve to die..."

“So I already said it was all hypothetical,” Li Yili waved her hand dismissively, “but it was bound to happen sooner or later.”

"That's true. After all, you've already raised the black goat's cub to adulthood, and it will only grow bigger and bigger from now on... Ah... Ah! That's how it is!"

Valkyrie blinked, then suddenly realized.

"You want to fake Bishop Azawi's death, don't you!"

“Oh right—there’s another way! You’ve been delaying your undercover work because you’re worried about Black Goat’s retaliation, but even Black Goat wouldn’t hunt down a dead man! In fact, even if you were executed by Bishop Azawi, Black Goat wouldn’t suspect that Bishop Azawi acted because of you!”

"Li Yili, you've got some skills!"

Lost in her own perfect reasoning, Valkyrie laughed and patted Li Yili on the shoulder.

"Don't worry! Leave the negotiations with Bishop Azawi to that guy Valkyrie, he'll make sure everything is arranged perfectly for you."

Li Yili turned her head and exhaled a breath, then raised her hand and waved.

"If you understand, then get out of here quickly."

"Hey... I've come all this way to see you, even bringing my weapons, aren't you going to do me a favor?" Valkyrie puffed out her cheeks and poked Li Yili's chest with her finger, looking somewhat annoyed.

“I know, I know, thank you for your hard work. The bank account book is in my pillow. The password is the first and last four digits of the account number. All my savings are in there,” Li Yili said, leaning against the wall as she sat down on the floor. “They’re all yours.”

Valkyrie felt somewhat uncomfortable. Although she had always hoped that Li Yili would say such a thing, she was not happy at all when it actually happened. She was even a little uneasy. Revealing everything meant completely severing ties.

But then Valkyrie realized that Li Yili's hanging meant her account would be frozen, so Li Yili was probably reminding her to transfer the money before it was frozen to prevent Bishop Azawi from embezzling it.

"Don't worry! I'll definitely protect your hard-earned money! I'll take these next few days to figure out where to go on vacation!"

Valkyrie gave Li Yili a thumbs-up with a serious expression, then turned and strode out.

Chapter 164 The Only Ruler, You're Dead

The sound of Valkyrie's footsteps broke the silent standoff between Valkyrie and Abel.

Valkyrie glanced at Valkyrie.

There was no one else behind Valkyrie, which means that Valkyrie, as Abel said, did not take Li Yili away. But given Valkyrie's personality, if she couldn't take anyone away, she couldn't leave the mask factory behind either. Yet Valkyrie walked out with a smile.

After a moment's thought, Valhagi Iris deduced a possibility.

“Yuan, let’s go. We can collect Li Yili’s body in three days,” Valqiu Lei said casually, patting Valqiu Yuan on the shoulder.

"Whoa—"

Valkyrie raised an eyebrow and gave Abel and Servi a bright smile.

"I see. I hope this collaboration will have a mutually satisfactory outcome."

After saying that, Valkyrie turned around, waved, and left the mask factory with Valkyrie Rei.

It wasn't until Valkyrie and Rei had completely disappeared that Selvi realized what was happening.

What do you mean by "pleasant cooperation"? This is just letting Bishop Azawi draw the old fire for Li Yili!

Just as Servi was angrily cursing the Valkyrie for being as tyrannical as rumored, Balan's report made Servi feel dizzy.

"The door to the dungeon where Reeves Est. Richard was imprisoned was smashed."

Good heavens, these two Valkyries actually want to kidnap him!

Servi really wanted to yell at them, asking what kind of place they thought this was!

But the reality is that this is Instas, the territory of the Galar Horn, where Valkyries Valkyrie Iris and Rei can really do whatever they want.

"Uh... that door, do you want it fixed?" Balan hesitated for a moment before cautiously probing.

Servi's breath hitched, and he was about to yell at Abel when he waved his hand and said, "No need to fix it. Li Yili won't leave that dungeon. Other people will be visiting it in the next couple of days."

“Other—cough cough cough—” Selvi coughed heavily a few times.

Even if it's a shady church or a shady dungeon, it's still a secret, a dungeon that everyone knows about, like Bishop Azavet's. It's one thing if it's a Valkyrie, but if someone else just barges in and tears down the dungeon door, Bishop Azavet would lose all face.

"Substitute—who else could it be?"

"Get into our dungeon," Selvi said stiffly, "I'll set things up for those people—"

"Black goat".

The words "Black Goat" were like a cold military dagger piercing Servi's chest. Servi's mouth was open, but he couldn't make a sound or even exhale.

Black goats can't be stopped by simply setting up some things.

Wait! The fact that the black goat is in this dungeon means...

Servi's pupils contracted sharply, his anger overpowering the chilling feeling emanating from the name "Black Goat."

"What do those two Valkyries mean!?"

Not only do they need Bishop Azawi to draw away the old forces to help Li Yili escape from the old, but now they also have to guard against Li Yili being kidnapped by the Black Goat?!

Good heavens, Bishop Azawi did everything and got nothing in return, while those two Valkyries went off to have a good time with their men.

“The substitute—this matter…” Selvi looked at Abel with a stiff expression, “We’ve been at a huge disadvantage. What if the church holds us accountable…”

“Bishop Azavet no longer needs to remain in Instas.”

Abel tilted his head slightly, and the sea breeze lifted the hair that had been covering his left eye.

Selvi's mouth opened slightly, the corners of his lips trembling as he turned up in a delighted smile that gradually grew into an unbridled frenzy, but the next second he returned to his usual dignified calm and composure.

"I understand, I will cooperate fully."

Servi paused for a moment before tentatively asking.

"A backup plan, if the Black Goat forces his way into the dungeon and tries to take Levi Esti Richard away..."

It wasn't that he was afraid of death, but that the black goat was too unconventional.

“I will not let anyone take Li Yili away,” Abel said, raising his hand to press down a stray strand of hair.

"I understand!"

Servi nodded slightly and then disappeared into the night with Balan.

Abel let out a long sigh.
