Global Lords: I Have Information System-Chapter 530 - 374: Final Arrangements, Attending the Banquet
He placed the potion bowl down, the blood-red color in his eyes rapidly fading.
Whenever the Demon’s Soul became restless, he needed to take potion soup made from Soul Calming Grass.
Only the Soul Calming potion, gifted by the Wraiths, could temporarily suppress the Demon’s Soul,
though sometimes, besides the potion soup,
he even needed to vent further.
Only then could he barely suppress the strong restlessness.
Evans drank the potion soup, regaining some composure.
He took out the handkerchief from his front pocket, gently wiped his mouth.
Then he stood up and walked to the side of the manor.
It was shielded by the shadows of the manor and walls of rose bushes.
From the hospitality gate outside, one couldn’t see the situation here.
He directly walked down the steps, standing on the soft grass.
Raised a hand and clapped it.
Several shadows slowly emerged beside him.
These were his black-robed scouts.
His eyes and ears.
"Did they leave the castle?"
Evans asked softly.
One black-robed scout stepped forward and bowed to report.
"Sir, they left the castle this morning at around 8 o’clock."
"Strolled around the streets for nearly an hour, then went to a snack shop."
"The subsequent situation is yet to be reported back."
"But I believe they should have set off."
As this black-robed scout reported, another shadow emerged.
It was the black-robed scout responsible for tailing Zong Shen and the others last night.
Upon emerging from stealth, he hurriedly saluted.
"Sir, they are almost at the manor now."
"When I hurried back, they were just a block away from the manor."
"They divided their team in that block."
"The woman riding the Black Panther stayed there with those lancer cavalry."
"Only the one riding the large Wild Boar brought another woman towards the manor."
The black-robed scout reported urgently.
Evans made no comment, crossing his arms thoughtfully.
Seconds later, he asked again.
"Are there any of our bugs among the Bang City Army suddenly appearing in the nearby streets?"
This question seemed to stump the scouts.
Limited by communication means, they couldn’t timely obtain outside information.
At this time, Isidore seemed to have completed the tasks Evans assigned him.
All meal preparations were mostly complete; left one portion without drugged ingredients.
Placed it on the previously agreed plate, all remaining ingredients had Soul Calming Powder added.
This powder, refined by the alchemist, is colorless, tasteless, dissolves instantly.
It has strong sleep-inducing effects, used as a calming herb to suppress the Demon’s Soul.
This refined concentrated Soul Calming Powder, just a tiny amount would make a robust Grassland Ox fall asleep within half a minute.
Isidore came beside Evans, having already grasped the information of these new patrol forces.
He leaned his head towards Evans’s ear and quickly said,
"This batch of Bang City Army is drawn from the garrison in the north of the city."
"We haven’t developed any bugs in them yet."
"So sir, we must make some preparations."
"At least ensure at the most critical moment to delay for more than five minutes."
"If given these few minutes, we’ll have enough to handle it."
"If the other side is indeed well-prepared, I suggest we abandon the operation."
"I know you have the antidote to Soul Calming Powder..."
"Use the antidote to neutralize the Soul Calming Powder in the food, make it an ordinary luncheon..."
Isidore was not confident in this operation.
Because the other side not only stayed in the castle for a night yesterday.
Before today’s appointment, frequent anomalies around the manor were observed.
Every sign showed they were being watched by Baron Bezos.
If they actually find substantial evidence that Evans is the "Night Demon" this time.
Even the Haywood Clan behind Evans might not be able to protect him.
In this world, many nobles do dirty deeds behind the scenes.
No one dared challenge the kingdom’s laws openly.
Once dirt is exposed to sunlight, it will surely incur everyone’s disdain.
Things would change fundamentally in nature.
Evans nodded first, then shook his head.
He first issued orders to those black-robed scouts.
"Everyone out, have Bodes take two squads out too."
"I need you to prepare rapidly at several street entrances."
"Once those Bang City Army make any move to head for the manor."
"You create disputes and frictions at street entrances, try to cause congestion."
All the black-robed scouts nodded at his words, bowed.
Then vanished stealthily.
Soon, a gate in another direction of the manor opened a crack.
A total of two squads of private mercenaries hurriedly went out.
Quickly dispersed to nearby street corners.
The black-robed scouts also took off the black robes, pretending to be ordinary passersby.
In a short time, only Evans and Isidore were left in place.
Evans took out a bottle of light blue powder from his chest and handed it to Isidore.
"This is the neutralizing powder."
"It’s refined from the roots of Soul Calming Grass."
"If necessary, put it in the drink to neutralize the effects."
"Their physique appears strong, the Soul Calming Powder shouldn’t act so fast."
"We have plenty of opportunities."
Isidore took the bottle, slowly nodded.
He was glad Evans was reasonably calm in the calming state.
The two walked one after the other towards the manor’s front entrance.
After delaying these few minutes, Zong Shen and the others had already reached near the manor.
At a distance of several dozen meters from the manor, Evans’s men at the entrance to welcome guests spotted Zong Shen and Wenresa.
After all, Zong Shen riding on Pigsy’s back was too conspicuous.
This situation was quickly reported to Evans.
He could no longer think about arrangements, hurriedly waited at the main entrance with Isidore.
At this moment, Zong Shen was riding on the pig’s back, giving Wenresa final instructions.
"If I tap the plate with my finger before the banquet, it indicates the dish is okay."
"If I tap twice, you immediately find a way to take the [Antitoxic Pill]."
"The effectiveness of the Antitoxic Pill lasts only half an hour."
"So use it at the most appropriate moment."
"If I tap thrice, remember not to eat anything."
"Understand?"
Wenresa nodded behind him.
"I understand, Sir, I will watch your actions closely."
After giving directions, they were close to within the ten-meter range of the manor gate.
Zong Shen could already see Evans standing there with a broad grin, waiting.
Today’s Zong Shen didn’t wear the Battle Helmet, his face also showing a smile.
No matter each other’s intent, feigning friendship is still essential.
At least they are officially there for a banquet.
"Lord Evans."
"Your arrangements are too grandiose."
After the exchange of expressions, Zong Shen and the others reached the manor entrance.
This time Zong Shen proactively greeted Evans.
He glanced around at the rather formal red welcome carpet.
With a swift movement, he jumped off Pigsy.
Simultaneously reached out to support Wenresa.
After landing, Wenresa voluntarily removed her veil.
Revealing her stunningly beautiful face.
This was Zong Shen’s prior instruction and arrangement.
To catch big fish, one must use enticing bait.
She carried a battle bow, her expression cold and peerless, possessing alluring temptation to Evans.
Evans spent much willpower to suppress his inner restlessness.
Not showing obvious yearning, focused on dealing with Zong Shen.
He warmly held Zong Shen’s hand, saying enthusiastically,
"I’m so pleased you could come to grace us."
"Let’s go in quickly, the luncheon dishes are all ready!"
