Henry watched Aeeshah approach him slowly, then shook his head slightly and said, "In fact, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't believe that the disciple of Sackcloth Visitor would be a rebel."
"What are you saying?" Aeeshah walked in and took sit down. "We're just standing from different viewpoints, the way we view things are just different, how is that rebelling? If we follow your orders blindly without considering if they are right or wrong, wouldn't that be regarded as blind loyalty?"
"Yeah." Henry nodded approvingly. "You make a fair point. We're indeed looking at an issue from different viewpoints. There's no absolute right or wrong in this world. However, your mistakes were great."
Aeeshah looked surprised, "Tell me about it."
"Do you still remember back then when we met?" Henry asked. "I went to see you and told you that Sackcloth Visitor sent to me. You looked a little surprised and asked me a few questions, only then you could confirm my identity. To be honest, the people who had convinced you to rebel really didn't train you properly, even third- rate actors could act better than you. Sackcloth Visitor was basically crippled. He came to Yinzhou to see me with whatever was left of his strength. I'm guessing that he didn't come looking for me to tell to first have a look at the Recluse World, he was very certain that his every move was under the watchful eyes of others. His main plan was to have me get rid of the weeds here. Let me think, there were many who could arrange for someone to keep an eye on Sackcloth Visitor, but not many would know that I have stepped into the Recluse World. Cleve Chai? Quite impossible. So, it looks like there are only two cardinals left who could be behind this, right?"
Aeeshah smiled. "Honestly, you really are so full of yourself."
"Honestly, your acting is pathetic." The teacup in Henry's hand shattered suddenly. Horror filled Lisamari and Cherlyn's faces. They subconsciously took a few steps back.
The teacup had shattered, but the water in it was not spilt, it condensed into a sphere and bounced around nimbly on Henry's fingertips, as if it was alive.
"Let's not talk about how many mistakes you have made back then when we met. Simply based on the fact that you have never even bothered to ask how Sackcloth Visitor was doing from the moment you showed up here before me, your identity has already been exposed. I'm guessing, the real Aeeshah is already dead, am I right?"
Aeeshah's expression darkened, then she said, "What's the matter, can't it be possible that I contact my master very often?"
Henry shook his head and said, "Don't you know how gifted Sackcloth Visitor is in music? Sackcloth Visitor is one who is capable of using music to kill!"
"You!" Aeeshah frowned and then calmed down. "Fine, I admit that Aeeshah is indeed dead. Her face is undeniably a pretty good mask. All this while, I've been worrying that you could tell that I was wearing a human-skin mask over my face."
As soon as Aeeshah finished speaking, she placed her hand on one side of her face and pulled forcefully, a human-skin mask was torn off, then thrown onto the ground. Where the humanskin mask had originally been, a horribly disfigure face was revealed.
"Well, this is bad, I even cut off my nose just to fit into this mask. I was so beautiful back then, so many men fought to win me over, however now..." the lady shook her head. "But that doesn't matter now, as long as I kill you, all of it would be worth it."
The moment those words left her mouth, she suddenly exploded towards Henry.
"Phew." Henry breathed a long sigh of relief. "It seems that you have received a new order. Is your master planning to give up on you? Well, that's fair too, Trahern and the others probably only receive orders from you. If you're gone, no one will know who is that master behind you anyway, am I right? Go."
With a flick of Henry's finger, a drop of water shot right at Aeeshah.
Aeeshah stopped advancing instantly, then her pupils began to dilate in the next second. A red dot appeared between her eyebrows, then she crumbled forward to the ground.
Trahern and the other two ladies were so terrified that their faces turned ashen.
Henry stood unmoving on the same spot. He looked back at the three and said, "Let me guess. Next, someone would report that I had joined forces with the demons and killed people from the Colver Family, right? That way the Chu Family will be put under house arrest, and as for those of the Colver Family who had just left, they would probably already have lost their freedom."
