Her original plan was to use the dagger under the blanket to cut his throat after he fell asleep and let his blood stain the red and white bed.
However, her plans could not keep up with the changes. She was too tired and fell asleep in a daze. When she woke up, the person beside her had already left.
Angela pulled the blanket over her and took a deep breath to calm herself down.
Her eyes became determined. There was still a chance. She still had a chance. It was okay if she failed once. He would come again. The next time he appeared, she would definitely not fail.
Right now, she only needed to wait, wait peacefully…
half a month later
Governor's Mansion, Grand Duke's Palace, middle level study room.
" The follow-up work for the cultists is almost done. Special District 027-0145 is in the final stage of disinfection. The surrounding special districts are undergoing a comprehensive inspection at the request of the government. Under the money attack, the local families and gangs are still cooperating. They know that the government's epidemic prevention work will not do them any harm. It will be completely over in a month at most.”
Unknowingly, it had been more than half a month since the incident at the lower level of Chao Du. The traces left behind by those things had finally been cleaned up.
Fortunately, it was just a plague released by a group of corrupted human cultists. If it was a plague released by the Naggat Demons, it would be wishful thinking to get rid of it.
"There's one more thing, but it has nothing to do with us. It's a message from the Star Language Tower. It says that an agricultural world 76 light-years away from the Enanda Star System has sent out a distress signal.”
The Star Language Tower belonged to the Empire's Star Language Hall, and the Star Language Hall was the Empire's only interstellar communication department.
The Star Speaker Hall used the Star Speaker to construct a telepathic communication network in the subspace. Every world had a Star Speaker Tower that formed a node. There were millions of such nodes in the millions of worlds in the empire. The Star Speaker could transmit information through the network of telepathic nodes and reach the final destination after being forwarded by countless nodes.
However, even though Star Speaker had solved the Empire's long-distance communication problem, it was not very useful because the information it transmitted was very little and was easily interfered with. The party who received the information was sometimes uncertain about the content of the information.
Of course, it was still very useful to ask for help. The amount of information was small, so it would not be difficult for people to understand.
SOS signal?
With a thoughtful expression on his face, Li Meng thought to himself,"Seventy-six light years is far enough. It shouldn't affect the Enanda Star System.”
However…
"Did they say which solar system?" asked Li Meng.”
" It's the Kronas Star System," Payne said." The distress message came from the main planet, Candiari."”
Should he go?
Li Meng glanced at the subspace and found that there were no subspace rifts within a hundred light years. The enemy should not be a demon from the subspace.
Who could the enemy be?
Rebel army?
Dark Spirit Clan?
Or was it an Oke barbarian?
Li Meng fell into deep thought, wondering who the enemy would be.
The possibility of rebellion was low. It was just an agricultural world with a population of less than a billion. The possibility of rebellion was low.
The Dark Spirit Clan was a possibility. However, if the enemy was the Dark Spirit Clan, the humans on that planet would probably be gone.
Finally, there were the Oke barbarians, or the green-skinned orcs that the commoners often referred to. Those guys were very active in the Ultimate Star Field, and they might appear from some remote corner of the subspace to attack the Empire.
At this moment, a pleasant voice sounded from the side.
"Sir, the terminal you wanted is ready. The computer room is in a warehouse that has been vacated in the middle level.”
Looking towards the source of the voice, the owner of the voice was standing on the right side of the desk. She was wearing a black and white dress, similar to a maid's dress. It was tight at the waist, but not as loose or long.
She was Sondra, the butler whom Pine had recommended to him.
She could be considered a beauty with above average talent. She had a good figure and beautiful curves. She had long brown hair that reached her waist.
"Let's go and take a look." Li Meng stood up and said.”
After nodding to Pine, Sandra turned around and left, leading the way.
In the corridor outside, Payne watched the backs of the adults and Sandra leave. He didn't follow them, but turned around and left in the opposite direction.
"Sondra, what's your relationship with Pine?”
Li Meng suddenly asked as they walked along the long corridor.
How should he put it? In the past half a month, Li Meng had a strange feeling about her and Pine ever since she became the butler.
Following behind Li Meng, Sandra lowered his head slightly. His expression was calm as he replied,""I knew her since I was young. She's my neighbor and childhood sweetheart. Why would you ask that?”
" It's just an illusion," Li Meng said with a faint smile." I keep feeling that your relationship with Pine isn't simple. It's not as simple as being childhood sweethearts."”
Looking up at the back of the master, a strange look flashed in Sandra's eyes. She lowered her head and said,""That's the truth. It doesn't matter.”
Li Meng shrugged and said,""That's true."
