Chapter 140 - The Plan of Ghouls
Chapter 140: The Plan of Ghouls
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After Olivia took Stanton away, she finally calmed down.
On the way, Wayne confirmed that Stanton was only seriously injured, and his life was not in danger.
“These wounds on Stanton’s neck were all caused by teeth.”
After returning to the princess’s residence, Wayne said as he examined Stanton’s wounds.
“Will these wounds cause any irreparable damage to Stanton?”
Olivia frowned. The ghouls were extremely mysterious on the continent. There were many legends about their abilities that were widely spread on the continent.
And in the entire continent, only a few people knew about their background.
As for how the fifth prince contacted this race, no one knew.
On the continent, any ghoul that appeared would be hunted down. No place would accept them. This was an iron law.

A race that relied on fresh blood to maintain their own life, and their fertility was extremely strong. They would be listed as an extremely dangerous existence no matter where they were.
“Don’t worry, Stanton will be fine. He has been fed too much blood during this period of time. Let him slow down and recuperate for a period of time. If you still have the Magic Lafite, then let him have some. He will recover very quickly.”
Wayne’s words were not without reason. His old injuries had healed just like that. Stanton’s small injury was just a small matter. It would take some time for him to recover.
“Phew… That’s good. Then I’m relieved. Why hasn’t he woken up yet?”
Olivia let out a long sigh of relief. At the same time, she was still faintly worried.
“It’s probably the ability of that ghoul. Every ghoul has a special ability on their teeth. Everyone is different. Stanton’s still not awake has something to do with his weakness, and it also has something to do with the ability of the ghoul.”
After Wayne finished speaking, he gestured for Olivia to be at ease.
After settling Stanton down, he handed over the task of taking care of him to Cynthia. The two of them left the room to discuss the follow-up matters.
“By the way, Uncle Wayne, can you confirm whether that ghoul is dead or not?”
Olivia suddenly remembered the ghoul from the fifth prince’s mansion. That strange escape method allowed him to escape unexpectedly even in front of a powerhouse like Wayne. She was shocked by this.
“Do you think that the ghoul will come back to help my fifth brother after escaping this time?”
Wayne thought for a while and asked, “We can already confirm that your fifth brother has colluded with the ghouls. Can’t we just kill him?”
Olivia couldn’t bear it. Wayne had said the most direct way. Now that the evidence was there, she had every reason to kill her fifth brother. However, she couldn’t be so cruel to her fifth brother, who had treated her very well since she was young.
In her memories, she could not remember when it started. Fifth brother seemed to have become a different person. He no longer treated her well, and he no longer smiled at her. It turned out that he had been carrying the hatred for so long, and she had not noticed his thoughts at all.
She had always been so dependent on him. Her actions must have brought him a lot of pain. Only today did Olivia realize how annoying she was.
“Olivia, if you don’t want to do this, then do it your way. Take your time.”
Wayne could tell from the girl’s changing expression that there was a soft spot in her heart and a small part of the fifth prince. It was too cruel for her to make the decision to kill the fifth prince..
Orina and Wayne were still discussing how to deal with the situation, but the fifth prince seemed to bump into trouble.
After waiting for an entire day without seeing Foster return, he began to feel a little uneasy.
The old fellows who lived in the manor heard the movements the night before and knew that it was related to the ghouls. Today, they had been quiet all day and did not make any movements.
This abnormal behavior made the fifth prince feel that the direction of the matter seemed to be getting more and more out of his expectations.
After using a special method to escape, Foster decided not to return to the prince’s residence for the time being. He rushed back to the secret base of the ghouls overnight.
He met with the elders of the ghouls urgently. The news he brought back caused a heated discussion among the ghouls.
“Foster, did you self-destruct to escape?”
The old man sitting on the first chair on the left asked.
In the entire meeting room, there was a gloomy man sitting at the center. There were eight people sitting on the left and right side, and four people on each side. These nine people were the few people at the top of the blood clan pyramid.
Foster stood at the outermost part of the meeting room with a humble expression.
“Elder, that human is too strong. If I hadn’t chosen to self-destruct and escape in the first place, I wouldn’t have had any chance to escape.”
Foster’s words shocked the upper echelons of the ghouls.
They were all clear about the top-tier combat power of the Oreste Empire. What was up with this new man?
“With this man around, the sixth princess is impossible to kill. This powerhouse has never appeared beside the princess before. He suddenly appeared in the Imperial City.”
“And I think this man may be even stronger…”
Foster recounted the news he had seen, and the scene became even more silent.
“In that case, I think we should forget about our plan this time. It’s not the time to reveal all of our trump cards yet.” An old man who looked very serious said.
“But what about the contract we signed with the fifth prince? Based on the current situation, it’s absolutely impossible for him to succeed in ascending the throne, even with our help.”
Another white-bearded old man stroked his beard as he spoke with a cold expression.
“If you ask me, what’s the point of being afraid of them? We’re the majestic ghoul, and he’s only a human! A mere human!”
With support, there would definitely be opposition. After the people who supported said this, the people who opposed also jumped out.
“That’s right, what’s the point of being afraid of a mere human?”
“That’s right. Perhaps Foster is too weak. His judgment of the other party’s strength isn’t accurate…”
The entire meeting room instantly turned into chaos. The eight people cursed at each other. Neither side was able to convince the other.
After the group of people argued for a while, the man at the center finally spoke.
“Everyone, quiet down.”
The moment the man spoke, the entire room fell silent.
“As for the fifth prince, everyone should think of a way to let him die. Since that human is so strong, then the plan this time has to be reformulated.”
“As for that very strong human, get someone to investigate him. I want to know his information.”
“Foster, you should go investigate about that human powerhouse. You are the most familiar with the situation in the capital. Before you set off, go and treat your injuries.”
The man was silent for a while. After thinking for a while, he felt that he had already arranged everything, so he spoke again.
“Alright, do as you are told. Meeting adjourned.”
After saying that, the man took the lead and left the meeting room, ignoring the reactions of the people behind him who were still digesting his arrangements.
