Chapter 1421: Chapter 43: Miss

Su Xiao exhaled a puff of blue smoke and said, "Buck is a big problem."

"Woof."

Bubu Wang implied that it and the little sidekick would divert Buck.

"Impossible. I’ve fought that guy before. Unless absolutely necessary, he won’t stray far from Du Bo · Yi Si."

The fastest way to understand someone is to fight them, and after their previous encounter, Buck also has some understanding of Su Xiao. That guy is surely aware Su Xiao won’t give up.

Bubu Wang looked at the little assistant, a smile on its dog face, and Su Xiao also turned his gaze. The little assistant, who was eating, suddenly shivered.

"Xia mo zuo she mu (why are you looking at me)?"

The little assistant swallowed the food in her mouth, choking and rolling her eyes.

"If you put on some makeup, there shouldn’t be a problem."

"Oh no..."

The little assistant recalled the scene of seducing a Sun Kingdom officer in the trenches.

Su Xiao extinguished the cigarette in his hand: "This time it’s not to seduce men. Have you ever been to a party?"

"Of course, I attended my aunt’s birthday party just last month."

"How big was it?"

"Hehehe," the little assistant laughed awkwardly, "Including my one-and-a-half-year-old nephew, there were nine of us, very luxurious~"

"..."

"..."

Su Xiao and Bubu Wang both remained silent; the plan they both came up with didn’t seem too reliable.

During breakfast with Du Bo Yi Si, Bubu Wang heard some crucial information: there would be a private party at 8 PM the following night, hosted by the richest merchant in Ambela City.

This merchant provides a large sum of money to the God Court for free. The amount is so vast that it can arm an army of hundreds of thousands of people. Even as a Divine Envoy, Du Bo Yi Si cannot refuse such an invitation. In fact, he also desires this party as it’s a good opportunity to secure funding for the war. If he can get tied up with this big patron, his chances of becoming the next Great Envoy would be higher.

Indeed, Du Bo Yi Si is one of the candidates for the Great Envoy. Currently, the Sun Kingdom’s chosen Great Envoy is just a temporary placeholder. They need someone capable and imposing.

Du Bo Yi Si had just escaped from St. Limen Fortress, which had already fallen. He bears responsibility for its defense failure, almost rendering him hopeless for advancing to Great Envoy.

Su Xiao had considered infiltrating the God Court Branch to assassinate Du Bo Yi Si. But after Bubu Wang’s reconnaissance, Su Xiao decisively abandoned this idea. There were at least dozens of Sun Kingdom officers inside the branch, and if a battle ensues, his chances of escape would be low.

The party at 8 PM the next night was the best opportunity to assassinate Du Bo Yi Si. Missing this chance would make completing his personal primary war task exceedingly difficult. If any Contractor finds the World Core, the Contractor battle royale wouldn’t be far off.

"Is attending a party with a few hundred people a problem?"

"No problem."

The little assistant answered confidently.

"Then it’s settled."

Su Xiao’s general plan was as follows: After the party starts, Bubu Wang and the little assistant would infiltrate the venue while he established a sniper point on a nearby building.

Bubu Wang was responsible for causing chaos at the back of the venue, and the little assistant’s task was simple. She didn’t need to do anything too dangerous; she merely needed to play the role of a ’frightened guest’ to amplify panic, making it easier to find an opportunity to act.

Although Buck had seen the little assistant before, as long as she put on some makeup and changed her scent, the chances of Buck recognizing her were very low.

Su Xiao took out a canister, a spray-type compressed kerosene bottle. Once atomized, it would produce a strong kerosene smell and ignite upon encountering fire. Su Xiao carried this for scenarios requiring abrupt temperature changes to compromise high-strength metal.

"Am I bringing this into the venue?"

"No need."

Su Xiao tossed the spray-type compressed kerosene bottle to Bubu Wang. Before entering the venue, they would be searched, so naturally, Bubu Wang would carry it in.

The little assistant was a crucial link in the plan, or rather, Su Xiao, Bubu Wang, and the little assistant would work seamlessly together to eventually create an opportunity to bypass Buck and assassinate Du Bo Yi Si.

"Bubu, scout the area and figure out a way to copy an invitation for the party. I’ll handle the little assistant’s clothes and jewelry. A Mu will be responsible for..."

Su Xiao suddenly remembered A Mu was still in the icefield, which was a habitual thought.

"What about me?"

The little assistant raised her fist, indicating she was ready to fight.

"You just need to be as beautiful as a picture tomorrow night."

"How come..."

Bubu Wang jumped off the seats, signaled the four icefield wolves to be on guard, and left the house with Su Xiao.

At seven that evening, Su Xiao returned to the house while Bubu Wang came back at three in the morning.

...

In the living room, Su Xiao flipped through the party invitation.

"Is she Octavia Bartholomew?"

Su Xiao looked at the unconscious young woman in the living room.

"Woof."

Bubu Wang barked. It had carefully chosen Octavia Bartholomew as its target. Through tracking and investigation, the woman known as Octavia Bartholomew was the only child of a prominent family, but in reality, the family had dwindled to just two people.

Octavia’s mother paid a significant price to secure an invitation, hoping her daughter could catch a wealthy husband. Her family had fallen greatly, and in a country like the Sun Kingdom that values status, it wasn’t impossible, especially since Octavia was somewhat attractive.

Bubu Wang’s choice was very wise; it carried far less risk than trying to replicate an invitation, as Octavia’s family was so downfallen that they didn’t interact much with other families. Therefore, not many would recognize Octavia, though they might have heard of the ’Bartholomew’ name.

Bubu Wang had handled this action very cleanly; it not only abducted Octavia but also her mother, now thrown in a storage room.

The bedroom door opened, and the little assistant, wearing a black chiffon dress and a wig, walked out of the room.

"What the hell is this, a torture device? It’s so uncomfortable."

The little assistant put her hand into her neckline, seemingly unaccustomed to the undergarments worn by Sun Kingdom women. Actually, aside from summer, this girl usually didn’t wear undergarments. Ninety percent of her wardrobe was military uniforms.

"Stand straight."

With her hand in her neckline, the little assistant looked nothing like a family’s young lady.

"Sir, can I not wear the thing inside? I can’t breathe."

"If you want the guests at the party to admire the protrusion on your chest, you might consider not wearing it."

"Then I’d better keep it. So, do I look like a young lady?"

The little assistant raised both hands and grinned, baring her teeth. Seeing her dressed like that, Bubu Wang’s dog face cringed and glanced at Su Xiao, meaning: "Master, maybe let me disguise as the young lady? Although the gender doesn’t match, I can be ’alluring’."

Su Xiao glanced at Bubu Wang, which shuffled a bit to the side.

"Hey, what are you wearing on your ears? So tacky."

"Uh?" The little assistant looked puzzled. "Isn’t this thin thing an earring?"

"That’s an arm ring."

Su Xiao gently rubbed his forehead. The little assistant looked nothing like a family’s young lady.

"Huh?"

The little assistant looked surprised, and Bubu Wang, beside her, laughed heartily. It hadn’t expected this girl to be even more clueless than it was.
