NOVEL NEXT Chapter 107: The Assassin
"To have such an incident happen within my city just a day before my sister's wedding, I can't help but feel incompetent especially considering I recently bulked up the city's security.
Robert, perhaps I should have accepted your suggestion of holding the wedding in the capital."
"Don't think like that Rita, such a thing could have happened anywhere, we should just be thankful that Sir Blake was there to stop the kidnapping and that Patricia is safe.
What we can do now is take further measures to prevent this from happening again and decide what to do about this female assassin."
Yes, this was Blake's solution to his situation. Rather than call a calamity on himself, one he was ill-prepared to face, Blake decided to first knock out Patricia with a violent injection of his mana into her and then spine the whole tale in his favour.
First, Blake designated Lena as a sneaky assassin who had wanted to kill Patricia, and then secondly he painted himself as a travelling knight of the church of Light who happened to be present when this was about to happen and intervened.
With Patrica safe and confirmed just to be unconscious, it hadn't been hard for Blake to take everyone's mind off investigating his story and instead go on a city-wide hunt for Lena, a task which lasted for hours before being called to a temporal halt since apparently tomorrow was supposed to be Patricia's wedding day.
Currently, Blake was in a red colour decorated office located in the mansion of the governor, seated on a comfortable red chair and facing the beautiful red-haired Rita who sat on the opposite side of the table in front of him and having Robert to his side.
After Blake had safely delivered Patricia to Rita and only her, he had joined her in doing an initial sweep of the area around the library in search of Lena.
"Concerning this assassin, I believe the wedding should be put on hold" Rita said, her words surprising the tall dashing groom-to-be.
"Isn't that going a bit too far Rita, this could be taken as a sign of fear" Robert calmly said, the frown on his face telling of how much he disliked this idea.
"I don't plan to hide away Robert, I plan on going on a manhunt after this and sifting out this assassin.
I have a powerful close friend coming over tomorrow and with her help, I am 100 per cent sure that we will find this assassin." Rita replied, her eyes fierce and her hands tightly gripped.
Looking at Robert, Blake could see that the man was still strongly against the idea of cancelling his wedding, but he in the end relented.
"As I mentioned earlier, this woman is quite good at using illusions, so I believe it will be best if a possible general counter for this can be made, else we run the risk of causing massive casualties if we put a lot of pressure on her."
"Yes, about that, I have kept your warning about her abilities in mind, and my current solution for this is that we have only groups of second-order beings engage in this search."
"Wouldn't that make manpower quite lacking, while quality is very much needed, quantity is also as valuable considering the wide area we might have to search," Blake said, Robert nodding in support of his words.
Blake's words had a contemplative expression claim Rita's face her forehead scrunching.
Blake had introduced himself to Rita as a third-order being, a thing he could now effectively do thanks to his increase in power and it was for this very reason that he was seated amongst these two people.
When Hannah had found out that he was a blessed Knight, she who was a commander of a division, a position higher than that of a governor had been ready to suck up to him, so it could be imagined how much Rita looked up to him despite the fact she was similarly a third order being.
Blake could have delivered Patrica to the soldiers and with his identity go back to his hotel but he had instead gone through the stress of delivering her straight to her sister and then joining the initial search for Lena because he had an agenda.

"A wide area artefact could help," Blake said, a hand going to his chin," I could even amplify the range of its effect."
"Though it isn't a wide area artefact, Patricia has an artifact that can be used to keep the mind clear and free of manipulations," Rita said after some seconds, her eyes slightly brightening up and a bit of relief going through her.
"Bingo"
This was what Blake was after, not information on whether Patricia had an artifact but information on whether Rita herself had one and with the woman only mentioning her sister's artifact even after several seconds passed, Blake rested into his seat and fully drove his plan forward.
"Lust aura."
"Robert, give me and the Governor a bit of privacy, "Blake said, his words surprising everyone, and though Robert wanted to complain, with Rita herself staying silent and him giving Blake's huge figure which contained power he was still far from reaching a glance, he bowed his head and excused the two.
When Robert left the room, the door closing behind him, Rita focused her attention on Blake, waiting for him to speak, but he instead stayed silent and after several seconds she spoke.
"What did you want to talk about"
"Are you horny"
Not minding that Rita stiffened up after his question, Blake got up to his feet and walked around the table, stopping by Rita's side and then he grabbed the woman by the hair and turned her head so her eyes stared directly at his crotch.
Tightly holding Lena's hair, Blake pulled down his pants and held his thick flaccid cock against her face, rubbing it across her lips and pushing it into her mouth which readily opened.
