Playing With Other Supernaturals

Chapter 1187 Etoulde Guests part 3

Naturally, Alicia is confused, \'Why does she sound like the cooperation with Evie is not a big deal?\'

Yoruichi managed to guess what was on her mind using the clues and information she had. And because she wanted to appear to know more than she let on, Yoruichi said, "There are already a few Etoulde clans working with the Evies."

"...What?"

With a straight face, Yoruichi added, "When I said that I have no idea that I\'m moving against the enemies of Luxeux, I\'m telling the truth. After all, I\'m just receiving commissions from someone in the [Wicked God\'s] faction to deal with an enemy faction."

"Huh?" Alicia couldn\'t believe what she just heard.

"She almost destroyed several clans like Sublinne, Laurellac, and Icebow. And most notably, Aurelius already became history with most of its high-ranking members dead or missing while the rest dispersed into the cosmos."

Alicia became further confused at Gwenn\'s words so the latter added, "You\'re wondering why she could stay chill on this planet, right? It\'s because the High Court covered it all up due to strong evidence that these clans cooperated with the Evies and the Aurelius even have an Evie affiliated with the Fierce God in their ranks. It\'s a scandal big enough that the High Court is willing to sacrifice a few mid-level clans to suppress the news."

"But there\'s no way they\'ll leave her alone if she did that!" Alicia strongly remarked but soon her voice softened when she realized something, "...There\'s no way... Unless..."

"Right, unless they are afraid of her. Or more specifically, what she knows, where else she\'s keeping this information, and other avenues she has to release this said information."

Yoruichi smiled but didn\'t say anything.

Alicia was stunned for a moment before gritting her teeth and slamming the table in anger, "You idiot!"

"H-huh? Why are you suddenly getting angry?" the startled Gwenn asked, "Did I say anything wrong?"

"No!" Alicia replied with an almost shouting voice, "You\'re not wrong, but you missed the most important part! Even if they are afraid of the information she possesses, it doesn\'t make sense that she could sit still! The more likely reason is that a few members of the High Court are protecting her because they are afraid that what she has implicates them! In other words, some high-ranked Etouldes might be cooperating with the Evies!"

It was Gwenn\'s turn to be stunned, "...Oh... So that\'s why there\'s a weird atmosphere going on there and father has not been in the right mood these days."

Alicia sighed and placed her hands on her head, "It\'ll be hard to find the traitors and even if they could, they won\'t be able to touch them easily unless they want to risk a large-scale civil war that the Evies could take advantage of." She then glared at Yoruichi and added, "Simply speaking, this woman is a giant ticking timebomb."

Yoruichi\'s smile turned into a smug look as she shrugged her shoulders, "That\'s why I wanted to keep this space intact. It\'s annoying to deal with idiots who only know how to endlessly attempt assassinations."

"Shit!" Alicia suddenly cussed.

Gwenn almost had a heart attack, "What now!?"

"I made a mistake! This was a trap all along!"

"Isn\'t that the reason why she\'s fishing you out?"

"I know, but I thought she wanted to kill me or something!"

"So it\'s not?"

Alicia turned to the not-so-stupid friend-enemy of hers and exploded once again, "The higher-ups are aware of her so naturally, this place will be full of eyes that even you can\'t see! The moment we entered this space is the moment we became her accomplices!"

"Oh... Oh shit." Gwenn finally realized her position, "My father is going to kill me. Alicia, take me in."

"F*ck you! My mother is going to kill me first before your father can kill you!"

"Oh right. You antagonized the whole Luxeux clan just to break off your engagement with the Invisible Sword. Knowing your mother, you won\'t just receive a whooping after this."

\'These ladies sure have a lot of freedom.\' Yoruichi thought to herself before feigning a cough to get their attention and flashing a large grin, "Now that you know where you are, shall we proceed with our partnership? And by the way, aside from Laria, only the two of you know that I\'m Yoruichi Shihouin. On the outside, I still appear as Yoru the Pamatypa."

"What partnership!?" Alicia snapped back, "This is basically forced collaboration!"

"Well, I can assure you that all the disadvantages that you got from meeting me will be outweighed by the assistance I could provide."

"..." Alicia could only blame herself for neglecting so many things and falling into her trap, \'Damned scammer.\' Nevertheless, she didn\'t really have much choice since if she left with nothing gained, she wouldn\'t get any benefits in putting a target on her back.

Alicia turned to Gwenn and thought, \'It\'s actually a blessing that she came here too. I can get Yarwood\'s aid by taking advantage of this lazy bitch\'s doting father. And maybe I can bring back something to get Mother off my case.\'

Sighing, Alicia sat back down and calmed herself, "Let\'s get this over with. What do you want?"

After the fruitful encounter, Alicia and Gwenn left Yoruichi\'s private space with pale ghost-like expressions.

Meanwhile, Yoruichi herself felt like a large boulder had been taken off her shoulders and she immediately contacted her employer that came from the Wicked God faction, the Wicked God herself, "Everything is set. I even got you some potential friends."

[You finally contacted me.]

The smile on Yoruichi\'s face disappeared, "What\'s wrong?"

[Return to Draconic Deus. I think things are about to get hectic over there and after the mess you made on the Etoulde\'s side, Draconic Deus won\'t be able to get as much support as they are expecting from them.]

"I\'ll contact you again once I\'ve returned."

[Alright. I\'ll gather more information on my side for you but I can\'t promise anything big because Regalzeva has been strangely careful this time.]

Yoruichi hung up and called Laria. As soon as everything is secured on her side, she immediately made her way to the Transport Gate, \'Hectic... Knowing Seraselbes, that might mean that Earth is about to be destroyed.\'
