[Angel’s Perspective]

Whenever Master contacted me, his voice was always altered. I couldn’t tell who he was from his voice at all.

“The best information you can provide is for us to move. This isn’t a permanent location,” I said.

“No, you must stay there. This is a good place for me to make preparations. There is no better place.”

“What exactly do you want to do?” I asked through gritted teeth.

An eerie laugh came from Mindlink, but he said nothing.

“Your goal is Donald, right?” I analyzed it. “You’re just using me to get Margaret out and lock her up here to bait Donald. You’re waiting for him to walk into your trap by setting up something around here.”

…..

“Use? Don’t make it sound so bad. We’re partners, aren’t we?”

“I don’t see any sincerity in you treating me as a partner. You won’t even tell me the plan,” I said.

A snicker came from the other end.

“The she-wolf itself is of little value. You’re so smart that when we decided, you couldn’t have failed to think a little about what really mattered to her. You sensed and acquiesced to this behavior because you couldn’t stand what Donald did either, could you?”

I fell silent.

After a moment, I said, “Don’t treat me like a fool. When we were discussing kidnapping Margaret, you didn’t say that this was to be used against Donald. Telling me and not telling me are two different things.”

“I thought all we cared about was the outcome. We came together because of a common goal.”

Master continued, “Follow the plan. We will establish a new order for the royal Lycans. Believe me, this will be an epoch-making event. We are fighting for our rightful power.”

I took a deep breath.

Master was best known for his outstanding talent and superb pharmaceutical skills, but many people ignored his ability to bewitch people.

He was so good at convincing others. Even if I remained vigilant during my conversations with him, I could not help but be convinced and agree with him.

“What do you want to do next?” I whispered.

“Donald is already sending men to find his little she-wolf, but he hasn’t given up on a frontal assault either. His personal guards will make things difficult for our people. My setup will take time. Until then, you have to keep those two she-wolves safe. They’re like two pieces of candy. They’ll attract any Lycan around who wants a taste of them, including the Lycan king.”

“Do you want me to protect Margaret?” I taunted him. “You know my initial goal was just to kill her.”

“When it’s all over, you can do whatever you want with her. I don’t care. But not now.”

“I understand. I’ll take good care of her.” I enunciated every word.

“By the way, let me remind you that Donald has already marked the she-wolf. The mate’s mark might strengthen the connection between the two of them. Remember to give them the potion I gave you in a timely manner. I’ll also send someone to delay Donald’s people as much as possible. Don’t be discovered too early.”

I involuntarily clenched my fists.

“He marked her?”

“Don’t be rash,” Master warned. “Don’t forget that if we fail, you’ll get nothing.”

“What do I get out of doing these things for you?”

Everything that had developed so far had been arranged by Master. Nothing was what I wanted.

If Master was just blindly asking me to work for him but was just giving me some empty promises, I would rather cancel my cooperation with him. I looked for his cooperation to find a shortcut, but even without him, I could achieve my goal by myself.

“When this is all over, you can have both the she-wolf and the Lycan king.”

“That’s just what we agreed on. I’m doing a lot more than what we did before. I want more payment.”

“What do you want?” The voice of Master on the other end of the line deepened. It was the first time he had taken me seriously in this conversation.

“I want the formula for the Mist.” I made my request.

The other party was silent for a moment before saying, “As a former member of the assault team, do you still need me to provide you with the formula for a conventional drug like the Mist?”

“The Mist you used on them is not the version we usually use. The usual Mist can only block werewolves, but not people among the Lycans who are good at sensing. However, after your special improvement, the Mist can prevent the other party’s scent from being smelled by mates that have marked,” I said slowly.

This time there was a longer silence.

Just as I thought that Master would reject me, I suddenly heard loud laughter from the other end.

“Hahahaha, very good. As expected of someone I like.” Master’s tone suddenly darkened, like a ghost from hell. “I promise you, if you can do what I ask smoothly, I will give you the formula.”

“It’s a deal.” My lips slowly curled into a smile.
