50: Chapter 50 Assassination? Just a pawn.Having received a clear answer, Wang Lufei stopped torturing Gao Jueshi.Instead, he patted him with his palm, which was carrying a strong electric current, knocking him unconscious.He then put him in a sack and placed him in the car they had used to get there.
Then Wang Luffy sat in the driver's seat and rode the three-wheeled vehicle back to Fishman Street.
Wang Lufei returned the same way he came, just like before, carrying a bulging bag that was barely noticeable unless you looked closely.
So, without anyone suspecting anything, Wang Luffy swaggered back to his territory, instructed his underlings to be more cautious, and then prepared to return to the palace.
Wang Lufei, carrying a bag, came to Chris's side again.Actually, Chris should have been outside the door, but according to the rules, he had to change shifts, so he was moved inside at this time.
So this unlucky fellow, trembling, greeted Wang Lufei once again: "Lord Tang, are you going out?I'll open the door for you right away, please don't rush."
Wang Lufei maintained his aloof persona, staring straight ahead without responding to his words.
This terrified Chris, who thought he had said something wrong and upset Wang Luffy, so he didn't even reply to him, whereas before he had at least nodded.
Chris's legs grew weaker and weaker, and he could barely walk.Wang Lufei, seeing how slow Chris was at opening the door, said, "Hey, hurry up, I'm in a rush."
This caused Chris to actually wet himself.His legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, oozing a yellowish liquid.He flailing his arms and legs, screaming, "Don't kill me!Don't kill me!Please don't kill me!Ahhhhh!"
Wang Luffy was very surprised.He hadn't done anything, so why did he fall down?Had he accidentally revealed too much of his Haki?Had his Conqueror's Haki awakened prematurely?
After thinking for a while without coming up with anything, Wang Lufei helplessly shrugged, went forward, opened the door, and walked out.He left the disoriented Chris rolling around on the spot.
The fat-headed fish-man outside the door watched Wang Luffy and the crazed Chris walk away and said, "Stop acting, they're already far away.Hurry up, Chris, close the door."
Hearing that Wang Luffy had gone far away, Chris, who had just escaped death, instantly recovered, stood up, straightened his clothes, and elegantly closed the door.
Ignoring what happened afterward, Wang Lufei sped to a secluded spot, removed his clothes, and reverted to his original physique and appearance.He then packed his clothes, pulled two bags, and leisurely walked back to the palace.
Although the palace guards didn't know when Wang Lufei left, they didn't dare ask too many questions about VIPs and simply let him in without even asking what was in the bag.
This left Wang Luffy, who had come up with many reasons, feeling like he'd punched cotton, and he was somewhat helpless.Afterwards, Wang Luffy abandoned these thoughts and went to Otohime's palace.
Upon entering, Wang Lufei saw that Princess Otohime was still somewhat absent-minded and said, "Princess Otohime, why do you still look so distracted?Are you still worried about the phone call this morning?"
"I'm so sorry, I know I was wrong.Grandpa also knows that your thoughts are heading towards Fishman Island."
Otohime, having recovered somewhat from Luffy's words, said, "Did Admiral Kizaru relay this?We really should thank him.Also, little Luffy, let's not do anything so exciting anymore, I can't handle it."
Wang Lufei thought to himself, "This is nothing.It would be much more exciting if you knew that your husband's brother and the ministers were plotting a rebellion because of you."
Just as he was hesitating whether to tell Otohime the news, Otohime spoke again, "Little Luffy, seeing you come to me with so many bags and packages, you must have something to tell me, right?"
Just say it, there's no need to hesitate.Auntie has developed a strong heart.
Seeing this, Wang Lufei stopped hiding it and told him everything, "There is indeed some news I need to tell you.Your husband's younger brother, the Prince of Compton, may be plotting a rebellion, and you will also be assassinated soon."
"Uh!" Otohime almost choked on her breath upon hearing this, and said incredulously, "Where did you get this information?This is no joke."
Wang Lufei opened the bag containing the high-ranking official and said, "Here's what happened.I was pretending to be an anti-human fish-man."
Having gained the trust of Sir Gao, this very man, and taken him to a remote place, the information obtained through torture was most likely reliable.
Otohime looked at the Duke of Richard in the bag with disbelief and exclaimed, "The Duke of Richard?"
Then, Otohime said in disbelief, "How could it be Duke Richard?He, he's a minister who supports my ideas, and he was injured in an attack and is still recovering at home!How could this be!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Lufei finally understood how Otohime was assassinated without anyone noticing in the original story and then framed for it by a human.Her most trusted confidante was actually an undercover agent, and it would be unreasonable if she had succeeded.
At the same time, Wang Lufei asked with some doubt, "Didn't you say that Princess Otohime has the ability to see through people's hearts?How come you still have."
Otohime said with a hint of self-deprecation, "Seeing through people's hearts is not the same as seeing through human nature.Once people know that you can see through people's hearts, they will pretend with false thoughts."
Looking back, I was too confident in my abilities, which led to this.Sigh.
Seeing this, Wang Lufei comforted her, saying, "Don't be too sad, Princess Otohime.We shouldn't be sad for such a person now, but rather we need to plan how to use this information gap to achieve your ideals."
Otohime asked with some doubt, "Does that mean you have something on your mind?Please tell me, I really can handle this."
After saying that, Otohime clutched her heart and waited for Luffy to speak.
Seeing this, Wang Lufei was both amused and exasperated, and said, "Don't worry."Zhang, Princess Yi Ji.Actually, I was thinking, now that we know who is behind the instigation and opposition against you, and that someone is planning to assassinate you soon.
Why don't we turn the tables on you?You deliberately show yourself and collect the fishmen's petition signatures.The assassin will definitely be unable to resist killing you and then framing the humans.I will protect you in secret and help you fake your death.
Then, while they were spreading rumors and framing others, we stepped in to expose them and, at the same time, brought the Prince and the Duke under control.
This will not only allow the lower-class fishmen to see the truth, but also silence the voices of violence on Fishman Island.The people's hearts will be more united around you, making the realization of your ideals just around the corner."
After hearing Wang Luffy's plan, Otohime seemed very excited, completely unlike her previous sad appearance, and said, "Let's do it your way.If there's anything else to add, I'll do my best to help."
Wang Lufei said, "There's nothing else to add, but do you really trust me?Don't you think I could conspire with them to fake your death but actually kill you?"
Princess Otohime smiled and said, "With your status, there are a hundred times easier ways to kill me, so why go to such lengths?"
And even if you're just an ordinary person, I believe in you; I can see from your eyes that you're a good child.
And so, the two who had reached a consensus continued to refine the plan.
