Chapter 18: : Betrayal

Uh… Ouruola glanced at Noah, then tugged at her own Mage Robe, as if considering whether she had time to put it on for her now.

But Noah beside her was unfazed.

She smiled with a confident expression.

“I think you must be a person of experience, so how can you judge by appearances?

If you don’t believe me, I can demonstrate my abilities right here.”

“Oh?

Sure.”

Tanlan clearly didn’t quite believe her, but with the mindset of watching a show, he nodded and said, “Since you’re so confident, I’d like to see it.”

Noah smiled slightly.

She lowered her head, closed her eyes, and pressed her right hand to her forehead.

Tanlan heard Noah mumbling some incantations he couldn’t understand, and wondered to himself.

‘This posture really does look like divination, but whether it’s real or not, Tanlan isn’t a Mage so he can’t tell at all.’

A moment later, Noah opened her eyes.

She raised her hand and pointed in the direction of Pride, saying, “The Stars tell me that the password this young man is about to crack is 5!”

Tanlan’s eyes lit up.

He immediately turned to look at Pride, waiting for Pride to give the real answer.

Then Pride excitedly slammed the keyboard and shouted in an extremely fervent tone,

“Amazing!

The first password has finally been cracked!

It’s 5!

It’s 5!

Amazing!

Only I can do something like this!

Only I can! ! !”

The whole room was in an uproar!

Everyone immediately looked at Noah, hoping she could give all the subsequent passwords.

But Noah spread her hands, her tone full of regret.

“A pity, what a pity.

This password is completely wrong.

Even if this young man calculates all the passwords, you still won’t be able to get out!”

Upon hearing Noah’s words, everyone immediately fell into chaos.

Tanlan himself began to believe in Noah’s ability a bit.

First, he gestured for everyone to be quiet, then looked at Noah with a scrutinizing gaze.

“So, can you use your Divination to obtain the real password?”

Noah first glanced at Pride, who was still immersed in his own achievement, then spoke slowly and deliberately.

“Leader Tanlan, this is why I came to you.

Through Divination, I can indeed obtain the real password, but I need the cooperation of all your Sin Organization members.

Moreover, you need to agree to some conditions of mine.”

After hearing the affirmative answer, Tanlan’s eyes lit up.

But after hearing Noah’s request, he fell into thought.

After a long while, he nodded slightly, and his tone even carried a note of respect.

“Please, go ahead.”

‘If there are conditions, that makes things easier,’ Tanlan thought to himself.

‘If Noah had asked for nothing in return, then Tanlan really wouldn’t have dared to agree to her request.’

“I’ll be direct.

I need an escort from the Sin Organization.”

Noah stated her condition.

She sighed softly, her eyes full of melancholy.

“To be honest, everyone, I was kidnapped from a very faraway place and brought here.

Even if I can get out, I can’t go back home.

If all of you can escort me back after we leave, I can perform the Divination for you right now!”

Tanlan hadn’t expected Noah’s request to be this.

After a brief hesitation, he nodded in response.

“No problem, I accept your request!”

As long as they could open the door, whether to keep the promise was up to him.

Even in the worst case, sending her back wasn’t impossible.

So from any perspective, Tanlan had no reason to refuse Noah’s request.

“Very good, it seems you are a person who understands the big picture.”

Noah smiled in satisfaction.

“Next, I need the help of all the Sin Organization members here.

You see, for a difficult Divination like this, I can’t do it alone.

I need everyone to form a Magic Array with their bodies around me so that I can perform the Divination.

“Furthermore, the formation’s shape and everyone’s movements are very particular.

During the ritual, I and all of you must remain quiet, lower our heads, and meditate.

You cannot open your eyes during the ceremony, or all our efforts will be wasted.

Let’s not delay; let’s start as soon as possible.”

Noah’s request made Tanlan a bit conflicted.

He glanced at Ouruola and asked hesitantly, “Is Divination this troublesome?

It requires so many people and they can’t even move?”

Ouruola just smiled and gently spread her hands.

“Boss Tanlan, I’m a Mage, not a Diviner.

Asking me is useless because I don’t know either.

Since this Diviner lady says so, there must be a reason.

Let’s just do it.”

Tanlan turned to look at Se Yu, who was devoutly kneeling beside Noah.

With no choice, he agreed to Noah’s request.

He waved his hand to summon his subordinates and commanded loudly,

“Everyone, assemble!

Come to the door and cooperate with this lady’s Divination.

Anyone who causes trouble during the ceremony, I’ll blow their head off!

Understood?!”

According to Noah’s request, all members of the Sin Organization came to the Main Gate.

Even Fen Nu, who had been beaten half to death, was dragged over.

Except for the imprisoned Cat Girl, everyone found their positions.

Everyone formed a huge circle around Noah and sat cross-legged on the ground.

Noah stood in the center, directing everyone to lower their heads and close their eyes.

She herself looked up toward their original hiding spot.

While mumbling incantations that even she didn’t understand, Noah shot a glance at Suo’en.

Suo’en, who had been lurking for a long time, immediately understood.

He raised his hand and made a signal, then said to his subordinate, “The Madam’s side is taken care of.

Move!”

Suo’en only had one attendant following him; the other had returned to the organization to call for reinforcements long ago.

Suo’en quietly came to the back of the front desk at the Main Gate.

Under the Cat Girl’s astonished gaze, Suo’en drew his Long Blade.

He knew he definitely didn’t have the keys to the shackles, so he decided to directly hack apart the connecting chains.

He raised his Long Blade and was about to strike, but suddenly a scream came from behind.

Suo’en immediately turned around and saw his own subordinate being kicked flying by Tanlan.

He was greatly alarmed and quickly dodged backward.

Tanlan, looking at the Heiyiren servant he had killed with one blow, laughed uproariously, then commanded loudly,

“Attack!

Chop these swindlers into pieces and feed them to Baoshi!”

The scene immediately fell into chaos.

Noah quickly brandished her dagger, using all her skills to escape from the crowd.

According to the original plan, as soon as Suo’en succeeded, she would rush out and join him.

Those fools were all sitting cross-legged on the ground with their eyes closed; no one could stop her.

But what Noah didn’t expect was that Tanlan seemed to have known their plan in advance.

He directly got up and killed her attendant first.

Under Tanlan’s command, the Sin Organization surrounded Noah and Suo’en tightly.

The two exchanged a glance, seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.

Suddenly, Noah understood what was going on.

She raised her head and looked at Ouruola with a resentful gaze, saying,

“It’s you!

You actually betrayed me!”
