156 He Now Wanted To Join The Enemy For Real

Lord Bevin was still unsure. But he feigned surrender and joined Su Wan’s side according to the plan.

His hero, the Red-Eyed Black Dragon, was unable to hold it in any longer and almost blurted out everything. He wasn’t deliberately planning to keep his Lord in the dark.

However, the Light-Types had placed a mark on them. They had done it, theoretically, for their safety. The mark would allow them to help if their plan failed and if Lord Bevin was attacked. The Light-Types could hear every conversation between Lord Bevin and his hero. This was the reason why the Red-Eyed Black Dragon couldn’t tell his Lord the truth now. The Red-Eyed Black Dragon knew that the mark was a listening device to spy on them.

The Red-Eyed Black Dragon couldn’t tell Lord Bevin the truth, but maybe he could signal or give him hints through other means. But he didn’t. He was afraid that his Lord would panic after knowing the truth and the Light-types would find out everything.

The Red-Eyed Black Dragon, Su Wan, Xu Yuan, and the others present knew the truth. They quietly watched Lord Bevin.

“Is that really true?” asked Lord Gadar.

Lord Gadar was just playing along. He knew it was the truth. Everything had been communicated to them by the Red-Eyed Black Dragon even before the plan went into action.

Lord Bevin didn’t know that only he was kept in the dark. Seeing that Su Wan and the others were convinced of his words, he thought his acting was quite good.

“Yes! Although I have been bullied a lot by them, I have maintained a low profile and gathered much information,” said Lord Bevin earnestly. “In their eyes, I am worthless. They thought I was too much of a wimp to do anything, so they didn’t hide anything from me.”

When Lord Bevin said this, his palms were covered in sweat. He felt like he had said too much.

If Su Wan and the others asked for further clarification, he would be exposed!

Lord Bevin had an idea! “It’s up to you to choose to believe me. I have already proved my sincerity.” He looked at the gem in Su Wan’s hands.

Su Wan realized that Lord Bevin was looking at the gem he had given her. She saw that Lord Bevin was very reluctant to part with his gem, and justifiably so.

Lord Bevin had no choice. If he refused to cooperate and did not follow the plan through, he knew the Light-Types would eliminate him. On top of that, his hero was acting very strange. His hero seemed very supportive and positive of this plan and the outcome.

Lord Bevin couldn’t help feeling that something was wrong with his hero. However, he didn’t know what exactly was wrong. He decided to trust his hero. He would join the enemy.

His hero, the Red-Eyed Black Dragon, did not say anything for now. Lord Bevin took his silence to mean that he was on the right track.

“Since he has handed over his gem, I think he is sincere about this,” said Su Wan. “We don’t have any enmity with him. I think we can believe his words.”

The gems seemed to be very important to Su Wan. The others agreed with her decision. Lord Bevin was a little doubtful. The group in front of him had gone from vigilance to compliance too quickly. Bevin felt all this was suspicious, but he didn’t know why.

“Don’t worry, brother,” said Lord Gadar, patting him on the shoulder. “You have proven your sincerity. None of us will mistreat you here. In fact, we will avenge you. We will teach them a lesson they will never forget after we steal their gems.”

Lord Bevin felt that Gadar’s face was strange. It was as though he was retraining himself from laughing.

However, Lord Bevin assumed that Gadar must have been moved by his act of offering up his Competition Gem. So, he was happy to find such a trustworthy new member.

Bevin felt proud of himself that he had infiltrated the enemy’s base and gained their trust. Bevin told Su Wan the location of the gems and volunteered to lead her there.

Everyone went off to make preparations.

Finally, Lord Bevin was alone with the Red-Eyed Black Dragon. He had too many questions he wanted to ask. But he knew all their conversations would be heard.

“Blackie…,” he said. He glanced at the Red-Eyed Black Dragon with questioning eyes.

Bevin was conflicted. It was normal for people to strive for greater heights. He had come here to gain Su Wan’s trust and to betray them later, but he saw that they were too powerful. He now wanted to join them for real and not just as an act.

Lord Bevin knew that the Light-Types wouldn’t be able to deal with Su Wan and her team. Bevin wanted to be on the winning side of things. He wanted to follow Su Wan and beat up the Light-Types instead.

However, due to the mark on his body, his words would be heard by the Light-Types. He tried to think of a way to bypass the mark.

Lord Bevin had an idea. He picked up a stick and wrote on the ground. But the Red-Eyed Black Dragon pretended to not see anything. He yawned.

Then, he told Bevin to act according to the plan. Bevin was even more confused now. He thought his hero really wanted to fight for the Light-Types with all his heart.

Lord Bevin didn’t have time to think. After Su Wan and her team were done with the preparations, they asked him to lead the way.

He led Su Wan and her team to the location where they would be ambushed.

At the same time, the Thorn Fairy and her Lord were heading toward Aiur as planned.
