Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 121: Suspicion Against Sharky

Meanwhile, after Sharky bid the crown princess farewell, he returned to his residence. When he opened the door, he discovered that there was no one inside. He immediately panicked. "Diana?"

He didn’t find a single person even after searching all day. There was only a lingering fragrance here.

"How can she not even leave a word before disappearing. She has no conscience at all!"

"Who are you saying has no conscience?" A teasing voice sounded from above him.

Sharky raised his head with pleasant surprise. He saw that a beautiful woman was currently leaning against a beam, her long hair falling downwards. Her posture seemed comfortable and carefree.

He had to admit that this woman really was blessed by the heavens. Every little movement she made was stunning.

"Why did you go up there?" Sharky was gloomy. "Why didn’t you reply when I called out to you?"

Diana jumped down from the beam, her movements light like a feather. "I didn’t reply, I merely wanted to see your reaction."

"Then was my reaction satisfactory, miss sect master?" Sharky harrumphed.

Diana smiled. "My mood improved greatly when I saw tears almost appear in your eyes."

Sharky looked at her, he didn’t know what to say to her, then he caught her and slapped her ass. "To improve your mood, you make me panic, you are a bad girl, you need some punishment."

"Aah," Diana moaned, she pleaded, "I am sorry dear, I will never test you."

"Good," Sharky nodded with satisfaction, but again he slapped her ass. He loves slapping her ass.

"Dear, did you get the medicine?" She felt a bit uncomfortable but also good.

"Yup. Five Aggregates Root. However, I don’t want to give it to you anymore." Sharky brought out the jade case and dangled it in front of her. Then, he returned it into his robes.

"Why?" She asked.

Sharky replied, "If you want the Five Aggregates Root, then beg me for it."

Diana looked at his mischievous expression, she knew, now she needs to beg for it. She was going to play as he wanted, but before she even said anything, Sharky’s expression changed.

"What is it?" Diana sensed that something was off and asked.

Sharky said, "There is a large group of troops heading our way. The leader is... huh? The Left Guard General Cheng Xiong!"

He became more careful ever since he was almost caught by Zhuxie Chixin last time. As such, he always used Mindmummy powers to control the nearby little creatures. This way, he would always know before danger showed up ahead of time.

"You’re sure that they are coming for us?" Diana said. They were looking everywhere for the assassins in the palace after all. It was normal for guards to be passing by this area.

Sharky nodded. "They’ve already surrounded the courtyard."

"Did they discover me? But they shouldn’t have been able to." Diana was a bit confused.

Sharky said, "They’re probably here for me. Someone became suspicious after I picked up the medicine from the hospital."

Right at this time, a knocking sound came from outside. "Inspection, please open the door!"

Sharky immediately thought of something. He pretended to be weak and said, "I’m treating my injuries right now. What’s the issue?"

The guard outside said, "Assassins stormed the palace and alarmed the empress and crown prince. For the security of everyone in the palace, we are inspecting everywhere in the palace to ensure that no place remains unchecked."

Sharky said unhappily, "Are you fucking blind? This is a golden token envoy’s residence. Why would an assassin be hiding here? Get lost!"

Cheng Xiong’s voice sounded at this time. "Sir Eleven, please excuse our rudeness. This general shoulders his majesty’s mission to find the surviving assassins. As such, every residence must be inspected. We are not targeting you alone. Even Chief Commander Zhuxie Chixin has agreed to have his courtyard searched, so I must trouble Sir Eleven for your cooperation."

Sharky remained silent for a moment. Since Cheng Xiong already said this, then what other reasons could he even use to stop them?

He then used the Gasman’s powers to make Diana Invisible. And hidden her on the bed.

"You also lie down on the bed." Diana said.

"Huh?" Sharky was confused. He didn’t know why he was saying this.

Diana then explained to him, "Didn’t you tell everyone that you were injured? You should be resting."

"Oh, you’re right." Sharky moved to the bed. He pulled over the covers.

Diana shot him another look. "Clothes!"

Sharky was extremely confused. Diana said with a frown, "You’re usually pretty sharp. Are you going to sleep with your clothes on?"

Sharky said ’oh’, and then he removed the outfit. However, he kept his helmet on, because he couldn’t reveal his real identity to anyone.

Although Diana was hidden with normal eyes from the others, Sharky can see her.

And since both were sleeping in the same bed, he can feel it.

Her long hair brushed against his body. It felt soft like silk. And it again started waking his Dragon.

Diana can feel something is poking her, and she knew what this was, she said while blushing, "I feel like you’re lusting after my body!"

"Of course, you are so beautiful, how can I not lust over you," Sharky openly admits.

"Please focus on solving the situation first," Diana said.

"Okay," Sharky nodded.

Cheng Xiong’s impatient voice sounded from outside. "Sir Eleven, if you still refuse to open the door, I have reason to suspect that you are hiding a criminal inside, and we will be forced to break in!"

Even though there was a protective formation surrounding this place, the defenses were limited. There was no way it could withstand the attacks of an eight ranked general and a group of experts.

Sharky pressed the room key at this time. The doors opened on their own. "Then search if you want to. I only moved in today so there’s nothing here. The search shouldn’t take that long."

Cheng Xiong was a bit surprised. This guy let them come in! Then did they really wrong him?

However, he wasn’t convinced so quickly. He waved his hands and indicated for his subordinates to search around. Searches were their specialty, so not even hidden rooms and cellars would escape their detection.

He himself headed towards the main bedroom. "Sir Eleven, please pardon my rudeness. I must carry out my official duty."

Even though he was suspicious inside, he was still polite on the outside. After all, they would see each other often in the palace in the future. He still had to show him some courtesy.

"Of course, I will pardon it, but you also remember it, when I come to search you. Please do what you need to after completing your search. I am preparing to rest and nurse my wounds." Sharky said, he has anger on his face.

"So Sir Eleven was sleeping! Didn’t you just head to the hospital earlier?" Cheng Xiong stared at the other party. He wanted to find something from his expression, but he was wearing a mask, so he couldn’t see anything.

Sharky said with a laugh, "Looks like General Cheng came prepared. The investigation is quite thorough."

Cheng Xiong wasn’t annoyed and said with a smile, "It can’t be helped. Since his majesty assigned me to this case, then I need to do my utmost. I cannot let any leads go."

"Then has General Cheng found anything?" Sharky frowned inwardly. He didn’t know why this fella would target him. Normally speaking, the two of them shouldn’t have any grudges, and he even had his status as a golden token envoy. There was no reason for this man to be so aggressive.

"Those assassins are too cunning. We weren’t able to find anything of value yet. However, I believe that there are definitely still some assassins hiding around inside the palace, just that we do not know where they are hiding. However, I believe all of them will be found soon." Cheng Xiong said.

"I wish General Cheng success." Sharky had to admit that this fella was sharp enough, that he actually managed to guess at the truth.

Cheng Xiong laughed and suddenly asked, "By the way, I heard that Sir Eleven was injured from the hospital earlier, but if I recall correctly, Sir Eleven didn’t look injured in the imperial study. Could it be that you encountered an assassin after you left imperial study?"

"It was not your right to ask," Sharky replied. "But since you asked for it, I will tell you. I was wounded by that female assassin’s flying sword back at the eastern palace, but his majesty emphasized bearing, so I forcefully suppressed it. Later on, I found a chance to get some medicine from the hospital."

"But I heard that the hospital didn’t give you any medicine? They gave it to the crown princess instead." Cheng Xiong moved closer to him.

"Looks like, you didn’t completely investigate, or you don’t want to reveal it. The crown princess already gave the medicine to me, and she has even asked for the medicine for me," Sharky replied while mocking him.

Sure enough, when Cheng Xiong heard about this, his expression changed on the spot. He didn’t expect the two of them to share this type of friendship.

However, he was still fierce in nature. Since he already offended the other party, rather than waiting for him to get revenge with the Justice Envoy and crown princess on his side in the future, he might as well crush him here.

"To be honest, that female assassin still leaves me with lingering fears. She is a glorious grandmaster, yet she does something unbefitting of her status and carries out an assassination! It truly is shameless," said Cheng Xiong.

Sharky could feel Diana’s body go taut when these words sounded. These words definitely angered her.

Out of worry that she wouldn’t be able to suppress her anger, he gently patted her, indicating for her to calm down.

Diana calmed down.

Sharky continued off of Cheng Xiong’s words and said, "That female assassin was quite beautiful, but what a pity that she is too vicious. I almost died under her sword."

Cheng Xiong said with praise, "The fact that Sir Eleven evaded the sword of a grandmaster is already incredibly praiseworthy. I wonder what kind of technique Sir Eleven cultivates?"

"It was not your question to ask, or I will forget that you came here to search," Sharky replied in an angry mood.

Cheng Xiong’s expression changed. "I was in such admiration over Sir Eleven’s methods that my tongue slipped. Pardon me for that."

While speaking, his eyes couldn’t help but shift to the blanket covering Sharky.

Cheng Xiong’s subordinates were already wrapping up their search. One after another, they informed him that they didn’t locate anyone.

Cheng Xiong began to think to himself. The only place that hadn’t been searched yet was this bed.

He cupped his hands and said, "We still need to search the bottom of the bed. Sir Eleven doesn’t mind, right?"

Sharky frowned. "What is General Cheng implying? Would I not know if there was someone underneath my bed?"

As a golden token envoy, if he didn’t even have this bit of skill, then he would be an absolute joke. The other party requested this despite knowing the abilities of golden envoys, so it indeed seemed a bit excessive.

Cheng Xiong said with a chuckle, "I have no other intentions. However, Sir Eleven has been injured, so your perception might not be so sharp. Please let us help you check inside. This way, Sir Eleven can rest easier."

He didn’t wait for Sharky’s reply after saying this and gestured for his subordinates to search.

Several imperial guards laid down on the ground. They raised the fabric covering the bottom of the bed and thrusted their swords inside.

Unfortunately, they didn’t find anything even after continuing this for a while.

Seeing this, Sharky used Mind Mummy powers, and then he captured all of the subordinates of Cheng Xiong by the mummy bandages.

"Sir Eleven, what are you doing?" Cheng Xiong became alarmed seeing this.

"When it was your time, I didn’t disturbed you in searching my room, even my bed was searched," Sharky replied looking at them, then he used Devouring technique.

"But, whoever checked my room, I can’t leave them alive," Sharky replied, and using the Primordial Origin Technique, he sucked all of their Ki in just a few seconds.

Cheng Xiong’s subordinates didn’t even get a chance to ask for an apology, while they turned into lifeless bones.

"I am sorry for offending you Sir Eleven, but what you did was wrong," Cheng Xiong frowned, seeing her subordinate die in front of his eyes.

"Since you all are in a rush to capture assassins, then go out and catch assassins. What are you all wasting time here for?" Sharky replied indifferently, he also warned him, "And also remember, I am a vicious person, I am just leaving you alive, because you need to report that you didn’t find anything here, or else, even you didn’t get out of here alive."

Sweat started appearing on Cheng Xiong’s face, "We’ve disturbed you today. I hope Sir Eleven does not take offense." Saying this, he quickly exited.
