Chapter 344 Three Birds With One Stone

Phoebe was stuck in a dilemma, having realized the sinister scheme of Theobold.

Not only did he reveal the fact that he had killed some of his soldiers, but he also revealed that these soldiers were spotted because of Mary.

Essentially, Theobold was causing a rift between her and Shi Tian's party, plus the fact that he wanted her to personally end these soldiers' family members as well.

The nefarious scheme of Theobold was well done, to say the least, if Phoebe had to reverse their role.

'This is why one should never cooperate with a wolf. They will bite anyone regardless if they're on the same side or not.' Phoebe cursed silently, blaming the higher-ups for agreeing to this.

The list of soldiers in the name was naturally people they trained for covert operations to spy on others.

Yet they were now spotted, and Theobold was practically telling her to personally kill their remaining bloodline with her own hands.

What was worse was that Theobold didn't mention these soldiers were related to her, implying that he was going to treat it as a few soldiers gone rogue and had zero connection with them.

However, if she was to refuse the request, then it meant that she was indirectly admitting these soldiers were from the Hill Family, and the cooperation might be over.

At that time, she would definitely be punished for doing a terrible job by the higher-ups.

"Just this list of soldiers, right?" Phoebe took a deep breath and asked.

"Mhmm, and remember to send the video so that I can save them to remind my platoon to not do such a terrible job, Phoebe." Theobold nodded his head and smiled innocently.

"Very well, I'll have it done in 3 days." (f)reewe(b)novel

"3 days are a bit long, isn't it? Is the Hill Family that incompetent now– to the point that they can't even do such a simple matter in a single day?"

Clenching her fist, Phoebe rephrased herself. "It'll be done within 24 hours and the video will be sent to you directly."

Being forced into a corner with his venomous words, Phoebe could not afford to let Theobold berate the Hill Family for their incompetence in silencing a few people.

The families of these soldiers who had been caught red-handed could only have themselves to blame. For giving birth to these soldiers who failed to conceal themselves properly.

Meanwhile, Theobold clapped his hands and laughed heartily when he heard Phoebe was going to get it done within 24 hours.

"Hahaha, as expected of the Hill Family. Their power and authority is no less than the other four families." He praised and complimented them.

However, in Phoebe's ears, they were anything but praises.

It was a full-on insult to them, and if possible, Phoebe truly wanted to take her gun out and shoot at Theobold.

"If there's nothing else, then I shall leave. Benedict caused me to be quite fatigued." Phoebe said coolly, directly turning around and exiting without waiting for his response.

Though it didn't matter much, given Theobold had no intention of replying. He was merely grinning as he watched her back slowly disappear from his sight.

"Heh, I've found them long ago, but Mary did inform me of traitors. So I'm merely speaking a white lie. Let's see if you still want to cozy up with them, Phoebe." Theobold muttered, feeling blissful to have cleansed his soldiers a little bit.

As he returned to his seat, Theobold made sure to give another command to a soldier nearby, "Oh, right, make sure their bodies are kept well. They'll be quite useful as a distraction and food for the monster wave when we begin our attack."

The soldier made a salute and showed a solemn expression, "Yes, Commander Theobold."

The soldier was extremely polite, but a tinge of fear could be seen in his eyes when he realized just how dangerous the commander he was working for was.

Without daring to delay the order, the soldier promptly dismissed himself to relay the command to the rest, lest he was afraid of being one of the soldiers that would serve as distraction and food in the monster wave.

Theobold laughed maniacally when he saw how frightened and tensed his soldiers had become.

Phoebe's deduction wasn't wrong, but it wasn't entirely correct either. He was not killing two birds with one stone, but killing three birds with one stone.

First was the traitors being wiped out in his platoon. Second was that he managed to avert Phoebe from getting overly friendly with Shi Tian. And lastly, he ensured his domination and authority within his soldiers to not defy him.

Those who defied him would end up in a terrible situation, especially with how their corpses are treated afterward and how their close families are being killed as well to join them.

As Theobold was mesmerized by how almost everything was going according to his plan, another soldier with an eyepatch on his right, arrived at the tent.

"Commander Theobold, are we really not going to do anything to that Nathan?" This soldier not only had an eyepatch on his right eye but his face was filled with red line marks, almost as if he had been whipped harshly.

Turning around and looking at the soldier, Theobold's eyes narrowed. "What? Do you want me to seek revenge on your behalf, Felix?"

Felix, remained silent when being questioned of wanting him to seek revenge for him.

Although he had taken some pills and was healed by Magus, Felix would never be able to forget the grudge of having his right eye gone, as well as being humiliated.

"That Nathan is a threat, Commander Theobold." Felix finally responded, trying to paint Shi Tian in a bad light in hopes that Theobold would eliminate him.

"A threat?" Theobold shook his head and laughed loudly. "Instead of being a threat, he might as well be called a great helper."

He then stood up from his seat, turned around, and glared at Felix furiously.

"I've sent you all to spy on them, yet not only did you fail miserably and come back in an embarrassing state. But you also lost your right eye to someone that weak. For someone that weak, he made me open my eyes at how ridiculously weak my soldiers actually are!"
