Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 140: Followed

"You also don’t think about getting any punishment. Because the other party is freaking King George, his majesty’s own brother! Would his majesty really investigate him over this matter? This matter will definitely remain unsettled indefinitely. Since no one is going to investigate, then you haven’t committed any crimes." Sharky explained.

The prison head’s eyes lit up. "Thank you, young master."

But he still warned repeatedly, "This matter is extremely important, so do not tell anyone else about it. The more mouths, the more things get out of hand. Once the court’s nobles find out, it’ll be a bloodbath. At that point, his majesty cannot keep the peace even if he wants to and you’ll be done for."

The prison head patted his chest and said, "Of course I know that! Don’t worry, young master, I won’t tell anyone about those things. As for my fellas over there, I have a way to shut their mouths too."

"Then that’s good." Sharky left the imperial prison in a better mood. The only thing left to take care of now is bringing Diana out of the palace.

Sigh, to be honest, I really want to keep living with incredible beauty...

While he was feeling some regret, he suddenly felt something and looked behind him. Unfortunately, there was no one there.

Is there someone following me? Or was that just me being paranoid?

Sharky felt quite restless. Danger lurked around every corner, so he didn’t dare to act carelessly.

Even though his cultivation was quite high now, in a place like the imperial palace, there were too many people who were stronger than him. Furthermore, there were many techniques to hide one’s traces in this world. It wasn’t surprising at all if he couldn’t sense the other party’s aura.

As such, he quickly used his powers to communicate with the nearby little creatures. His line of sight expanded to over a hundred meters around him through their eyes.

Apart from the patrolling guards, there was no one else...

Hold on... Sharky suddenly noticed someone familiar around the corner a few zhang out. It was a chubby and pale eunuch.

"It’s him?" Sharky frowned. This person was precisely Eunuch Wen who served at the emperor’s side.

Normally, Eunuch Wen was always smiling regardless of who he was around. Together with how chubby he was, he naturally gave off a friendly feeling. His current expression was overcast, completely different from his previous amicable feeling.

Was this his true self?

Sharky really was tricked by this guy’s smiling face before.

Eunuch Wen was sorting out his clothes from the other side of the corner, and then he rubbed his chubby face. The smile he was used to seeing returned to his face.

He looked at Sharky with a look of pleasant surprise when he turned the corner. "Sir Sharky, I was looking for you."

Sharky nodded, "So it was Eunuch Wen! Is there anything you need from me?"

Eunuch Wen said with a smile, "His majesty wishes to meet with you. Sir Sharky, please come with me to the imperial study."

Sharky nodded, and then he followed this man to the imperial study.

When they arrived at the imperial study, Eunuch Wen waited outside. When Sharky walked in, the emperor was currently reading a book on his dragon throne. His expression seemed quite relaxed.

"What help do you need this time?" Sharky asked him.

The emperor voiced his reply. A while later, he lowered the book and said, "You already released the assassins in the imperial prison?"

"Yes, I have completed this task." Sharky cursed inside, aren’t you asking a question you already know the answer to? Your freaking divine will even be swept by.

The emperor nodded in satisfaction. "Does the Devil Sect suspect anything?"

"I don’t think so, I pushed all of the blame onto King George..." Then, he told the emperor what happened while leaving out only a bit.

"You are quite sharp. Now, those people in the imperial prison won’t suspect anything, and no news will get out." The emperor smiled. This kid is really so much better, now he started understanding why people called him Devil of Royal College. The Devil Man title fits on him.

Sharky quickly replied, "However, I ended up accidentally bumping into King George when I left the imperial prison. Back then, he was suspicious of those assassins that were disguised as imperial guards. In a moment of desperation, I could only say that the guard leader Liu Chenyu was called over by your respected self..."

The emperor laughed out loud. "I didn’t expect that resourceful little bro of mine to be completely fooled by a kid like you. You don’t have to worry about that, I will make some arrangements."

Sharky sighed.

The emperor remained quiet for a moment, and then he said, "You’ve now offended King George. How are you going to complete the first task that I have given you?"

Sharky explained, "King George has offered me to end the bitterness between us by arranging her daughter’s wedding with me. I haven’t replied till now."

"Hmph, not bad. You really have good luck. Now, complete my task," Emperor nodded, and waved his hand, so he took the exit from here.

"Understood!" Sharky nodded and he left from there.

A while later, he frowned. The feeling of being tailed appeared again.

He controlled the nearby little birds, but he didn’t see anyone suspicious.

Am I being paranoid?

Sharky shook his head. He was under way too much pressure recently. He was even starting to wonder if he was developing paranoia.

However, he still didn’t dare to act careless. He made a few circles around the palace and changed the animals that were watching. He still didn’t see anyone monitoring him.

He sighed in relief and headed towards his Golden Token Eleven courtyard. He had to let Diana know about Sun Luzhen’s matters, and also help bring her out.

Even though he didn’t want to separate with a beauty like Diana, the emperor was too dangerous. Once he found out, then he would really be dead. He didn’t dare take any risks.

Sharky almost felt like he was coming home when he saw the courtyard hidden in the forest. When he thought about how there was a woman waiting for him, the feeling was really good.

However, when he remembered the feeling of being tailed, just to be sure, he didn’t walk straight in and instead pretended to pass by from the side.

After walking around for a while, he saw that there was nothing wrong. He was just about to head back when he heard Diana’s voice. "Don’t turn around. Someone’s following you."

Sharky: "???"

There really was someone following him! Diana was a grandmaster after all. Now that she recovered some of her strength, her senses were much sharper than his.

"Do you know who it is? Is it a fat eunuch?" Sharky asked.

"His hiding technique is extremely skilled. I haven’t recovered from my injuries yet, so I do not know where exactly he is, nor can I see him. However, I know that he is there." Diana’s voice was warm, carried a bit of elegant charm. It really was pleasant to listen to.

But Sharky wasn’t in the mood to enjoy anything at all. Instead, he felt goosebumps.

After all, he already tried all different ways to find out who it was, yet he didn’t see anything. It was easy to see just how formidable this person was.

He had way too many secrets. Having a terrifying person like this monitoring him was frightening.

"How about we bait him out, and then we take him out together?" Sharky rejected this idea as soon as he proposed it. The emperor was overseeing the palace right now. He will immediately know if there was any activity. Once Diana got involved, then the aura would be too obvious.

"I have a way. Wait a bit." Diana became quiet after saying this. Soon afterwards, the door creaked open.

Sharky was stunned. What is going on?

He turned around. He saw a masked golden token envoy walk out from inside.

Was there another golden token envoy that entered my room? Sharky was shocked. However, he quickly realized that these were his clothes. It went without saying who this person was. No wonder Diana asked for a set of his uniform before.

Diana was tall and slender. Together with how the uniform was designed to hide one’s identity anyway, there was nothing strange at all when she pretended to be Golden Token Eleven.

Sharky saw her walk around. A d he was stunned seeing her. The uniforms of golden token envoys were handsome to begin with, but they had always been worn by men. Now that a woman wore it, it added a different type of style.

Was this the so-called uniform seduction? Like a female police officer?

A bunch of thoughts passed by Sharky’s head. However, he shook his head. Now was not the time to be thinking about these things.

Sharky’s mind moved quickly. He walked up and said, "So it was Sir Eleven! Thank you for rescuing the crown prince and princess last time."

Diana gave him a look, thinking to herself that this fella really was quite the actor. She replied impatiently with a low voice.

WIth her experience, as long as she didn’t speak too much, others wouldn’t be able to tell that she wasn’t a man.

Sharky cupped his hands. "Looks like sir has some matters to attend to. I won’t disturb you then. Sir, please feel at ease."

Diana nodded. Then, she walked in another direction.

She spoke to him through voice transmission. "I’m going to walk around and see if I can find that person."

Sharky replied, "Head towards the palace gates. I already saved Sun Luzhen and the others. You should use this chance to leave as well."

Diana was surprised and happy. She didn’t expect him to have really saved them from the imperial prison! She was curious as to how he did it, but she knew that now wasn’t the time. As such, she said with a bit of worry, "But what will you do once I leave? There is an expert tailing you."

"You won’t be able to help me fight against him even if you stay." Sharky chuckled and said, "Don’t worry, this is the imperial palace. With the emperor overseeing things, that mysterious expert won’t dare to do anything. He’ll only follow me for a while, and you’re my biggest secret right now. Once you leave, I won’t be scared of him following me."

When she heard him say that she was his biggest secret, Diana’s expression became gentle, "Okay, I’m leaving first. Please take care of yourself. And find a chance to meet up later."

When he saw the two leave in separate directions, a figure slowly emerged in the shadows of a large tree.

If there was someone who was watching this exact spot, their eyes might pop right out. There wasn’t anyone in the shade of this tree before, and this person seemed to have crawled straight out of the shadows.

"Hm? There are two people. Looks like King George guessed wrong." That person muttered. He looked left and right. He hesitated for a bit, and then in the end, he headed after Diana.

Diana’s voice sounded in Sharky’s ears. "That person is following me."

Sharky was alarmed. "You need to be careful!"

Meanwhile, he was quite confused. He thought that this person came after him, yet now, it didn’t seem like it. What kind of background did this person have? What was he after?

Diana chuckled. "The one who should be careful is him."

Sharky quickly realized something. Diana was a grandmaster after all. Even after being injured, she was still a grandmaster. The one in the shadows thought that he was catching fish, but it was instead a huge shark that bit the bait.

The two got further and further away from each other. It already went beyond the range of ki transmission.

Diana could continue to transmit her voice, but the ki she had to use was greater. This would easily draw the emperor’s attention, so there was no need to do so.

Sharky continued to walk for a while. Then, he secretly turned around and followed her. He just didn’t feel at ease if he didn’t see Diana leave the palace with his own eyes.

Either way, that feeling of being followed was now gone, so he wasn’t scared of being discovered.

He followed her to the imperial palace’s western gate. He saw that Diana didn’t walk too quickly or too slowly. His gait was just like that of an expert.

"I should make her wear these clothes again when there is a chance..." All types of perverted thoughts filled his mind. A stupid smile unknowingly appeared on his face.
