Chapter 614: Chapter 506, Not Your Forte
Having understood everything, Wu Heng looked back at Wen Mansha.
He asked, “What was your plan before?”
“The original plan was to keep things at a stalemate. After all, it doesn’t really affect us. The Yeko Kingdom is currently in turmoil internally, with little energy to focus on this side,” Wen Mansha explained.
The high-ranking officials of the Yeko Kingdom were preoccupied with power struggles and taking sides, not paying much attention to Lundham City.
But all these were mere speculations from Wen Mansha’s side.
Who knew if someone had already set their eyes on this place, considering ‘Lundham City’ a piece of fat dripping with oil.
After pondering for a moment, Wu Heng said, “While I’m in the city, let’s resolve this matter today.”
Wen Mansha looked at the housekeeper, “Do you have any problems with this?”
The female housekeeper kept her head down and said softly, “I’ll follow whatever the master and mistress decide.”
Wen Mansha glanced at her side, “I will find you a better man later.”
“As long as I’m with the mistress, I am satisfied.”
“Mm,” Wen Mansha nodded.
Wu Heng said directly, “First, go call ‘Aukot’ over, and I’ll assign them tasks.”
“Yes, master!” The housekeeper quickly left.
Wu Heng watched Wen Mansha, who was about to get dressed, “You continue to rest, I’ll take care of things tonight.”
Wen Mansha pouted, “Where have you heard of a maid resting while the master does the work? Besides, I’m not that fragile.”
“Now you have a more important task,” Wu Heng touched her belly.
Wen Mansha did not insist any further, her face filled with a smile, “Then I will surely complete this task well.”
“Mm, rest well.”
Wu Heng quickly got dressed and left the room, closing the door behind him.
He sat downstairs for a while.
The younger brother ‘Aukot’ came over with a few people.
“City Lord!” The group saluted.
Wu Heng nodded, “I need you to capture someone. Hartel will lead the way. Alive or dead doesn’t matter, bring him back as quickly as possible.”
“Yes, City Lord.”
After speaking, the group left the City Lord’s Mansion with the housekeeper.
Heading towards the residential area of the inner city.
…
Late at night.
The grand hall of the City Lord’s Mansion.
A middle-aged man in pajamas knelt in the middle of the hall, his hair a mess, his lips turned purple from the cold on the way here.
The man quickly glanced at the housekeeper beside him, his eyes filled with astonishment and suspicion.
Suspecting that his actions were exposed, but why was the housekeeper unharmed while he was captured and brought here.
Had he been reported?
But that didn’t make sense either.
His mind raced.
He felt he still had a chance.
After all, he was an official at the city hall. As long as he found a reasonable excuse and the other party couldn’t produce solid evidence, they wouldn’t kill him so easily.
He would think of a plan later.
“Strangle him, and don’t dirty the floor.”
As he was contemplating how to defend himself, a faint voice came from above.
“Ah? I…,” the middle-aged man exclaimed, his face showing horror.
The skeleton beside him, took rope from behind and wrapped it around the man’s neck, pressing a knee into his back and gradually applied force.
The middle-aged man’s body struggled violently.
As he was unable to break free, his complexion turned a purplish blue, his eyes rolled back, and his body gradually went limp.
The skeleton loosened the rope.
The body collapsed onto the floor.
The housekeeper closed her eyes, choosing not to witness the scene in front of her.
“You go rest in the dining room for a while, and I’ll call you when there’s a task,” Wu Heng descended and told the few subordinates.
Aukot and the others saluted and headed into the nearby dining room to wait.
After everyone had left, Wu Heng looked at the corpse and cast “Communicate with the Dead.”
Necromancy Magic enveloped the body.
The fallen middle-aged man sat up again.
Wu Heng walked down and cast “Communicate with the Dead” directly at the corpse.
The fallen body sat up, its murky pupils looking his way.
Wu Heng asked, “Who’s the person behind you?”
With his tongue sticking out awkwardly, the corpse mumbled, “Eastern Border City of the Yeko Kingdom, Commander Godwin.”
Indeed, it was related to the Yeko Kingdom.
Wu Heng continued, “What task did he assign you?”
The body answered, “To gather intelligence on Lundham City and destabilize the city hall from within.”
“What are your subsequent plans?”
The body answered, “To prepare for the occupation of Lundham City.”
After thinking for a moment, Wu Heng asked, “This ‘Commander Godwin’ you speak of, how high is his professional level?”
The corpse pondered for a moment, “He should have reached level 15.”
Last question.
“Hartel, prepare the pen and paper,”
The housekeeper opened her eyes and quickly found pen and paper nearby, readying herself.
Wu Heng continued to ask the corpse, “Who else in the city is one of yours? Tell me everything.”
The corpse began to answer, “City Lord’s housekeeper—Hartel, city hall—Ricardo, Patrolling Guard—Grecy….”
Name after name was recited.
The housekeeper earnestly recorded on the side.
Once all the names had been said, the five questions were also answered.
The body fell back to the ground with a thud, once again becoming just a corpse.
“Master, I’ve taken note,” said the housekeeper.
Wu Heng took a look at the list and handed it back, “Have ‘Aukot’ go arrest them, kill any who resist, and lock up those willing to cooperate until Wen Mansha wakes up and decides what to do.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Also, keep the rest of this to ourselves, let no one else speak of it.”
“Yes!” The housekeeper replied, leaving with the list towards the dining room.
The younger brothers waiting there rapidly left City Lord’s Mansion with the list to apprehend the suspects.
Wu Heng also exited the building.
Putting on the Train Captain’s Hat, he vanished on the spot.
…
Early morning.
Yeko Kingdom, Eastern Border City.
Wu Heng, with his hood on, walked directly into the city.
This was the mandatory route to ‘Lundham City’ from the Yeko Kingdom, a place Wu Heng had passed through before when the Phantom Train did not exist, even purchasing a horse-drawn carriage in the city, where he encountered the Ghost Hag posing as a nun.
The seductive nun, the ugly Ghost Hag.
They left a significant impression on him.
Wu Heng booked a private room in a tavern and sat for a while.
Glenda flew back in from outside.
Revealing her form, she said, “Found him, in the Patrol Guard leader’s resting room, flirting with a noblewoman, I watched for a while, his sweet nothings are no match for yours.”
“Ah! You eavesdropped on mine too,” Wu Heng said with a shocked sidelong glance.
“I’m complimenting you, yours are much more sophisticated than his,” she replied.
Wu Heng didn’t want to engage her further on the topic, always feeling that ‘Glenda’ was very interested in such matters.
He asked directly, “Are you sure it’s him?”
“He’s the only Level 15 professional in the city, I watched the others calling him ‘Commander Godwin,’ so it’s definitely him,” Glenda stated.
Wu Heng nodded, so it really was him.
Under Spirit Vision, locating some fixed targets really did become much easier.
“Let me see!”
Glenda dived into his body, sharing the vision with him.

In a room at the Patrol Guard building, a burly man was pressing a noblewoman against the table.
They had moved on from flirting to the real act.
Shouts and moans intertwined within the room.
Glenda watched for a while before flying back from the building.
She relayed the details to Wu Heng.
After confirming the man’s appearance and identity, Wu Heng released Glenda back into the open.
“You call that flirting?” Wu Heng questioned.
Glenda replied nonchalantly, “I was referring to before, not the part you just saw.”
Wu Heng was somewhat speechless, “Let’s go, we’ll finish quickly and then leave.”
Packing up, they both exited the private room.
Heading to the location of the Patrol Guard building.
…
They waited in a small alley across the street.
Glenda flew out from inside and said, “That woman has left, and there aren’t many others inside, just kill him, and you can leave.”
Wu Heng glanced across.
A tall woman with seductive manners emerged, her face full of post-joy glee.
Wu Heng took a careful look at her.
Putting on the Illusion Veil, he approximately assumed the woman’s form.
He handed the Corpse-Wrap to Skeleton Kai Xiu beside him, who draped it over himself, concealing his form.
Then Wu Heng walked directly into the building.
The Guard stationed at the door merely glanced at him and ignored the coquettish looks, turning his head away.
Wu Heng stood outside the commander’s room and looked around.
Seeing no one, he pushed the door open and walked in.
The disheveled man was sitting behind a desk drinking wine, seeing her enter he began,
“Not afraid of your husband anymore?”
However, mid-sentence, his gaze suddenly sharpened.
