  Charlie nodded. "Penny is talented, and she is very young, too. But having come to know her, one can see that she's a warrior, not a statesman. Even if I had never captured her, she would never have been able to elevate the Qing Eliminating Society as a whole. Aside from the mind of a war strategist, they sorely need a mind that can keep up with the times."Pausing, Charlie then continued, "Oh, and considering Arlo's abilities, he wouldn't die even if he loses both hands—heck, he wouldn't even need a hospital. That's why it's puzzling why he would go to one and publicly, at that… Why do you think that is?"Merlin thought about it. "Well, considering what you did to him, they would understand that Arlo has been compromised. Going straight to the hospital only goes to show there's no point if he hides or not."Moreover, I imagine Fleur is worried that you might feed Arlo another Regeneration Pill. See, every time we encounter a murder, especially one with no known motives and an unusu

  Merlin couldn't help but laugh as he listened to Charlie mock Fleur. "I really believed for a moment that you were giving Arlo a Regeneration Pill for free, and I had to admit I thought that would be a real shame… I guess all it did was taunt Fleur while Arlo got nothing out of it. I see this as an absolute win!"Charlie nodded and said, "The pill is definitely invaluable, but as long as it leads to the outcome I want, I dare say it was worth it.""Agreed," Merlin nodded. "Arlo is just out of luck, having had three hands hacked off."Charlie laughed, "He's a Griffin under Fleur's protection—he has either committed just as many atrocities as she has, if not abetting her. The Griffins, as well as the dead soldiers and armed cavalry guards, are the reason that the Qing Eliminating Society has survived until this day. In that sense, it's a bargain that I only cut off Arlo's hand."Pausing, he then shook his head. "Nope. I first gave him one hand, then took another away. That's just fai

  Arlo regained his composure right then and quickly said, "You're absolutely right, Gramps! I will go to the hospital immediately because it's the best place for me right now!"Tarlon nodded. "Yes. You've been put through a lot these past few days, and it has most certainly taken a strain on your body. Take your time and rest at the hospital. When the time is right, I'll inform your brother to bring you home. But that's not right now… so take your time, get some rest, and stay at the hospital until we send for you.""Yes, Gramps!" Arlo nodded. "I understand!""Good," Tarlon said. "Now, go."After hanging up the phone, it took Arlo considerable difficulty to slide his severed left hand into Callum's clothes with just his feet. He then immediately called for Marvin from Moore Trading.Naturally, Marvin was stunned by the horrific sight before him, while Arlo didn't waste any time explaining as he barked, "We don't have time to play 21 questions—dispose of the consul's body right no

  Though Arlo was used to seeing death, he suddenly felt a sense of loss and desolation at that very moment.That was also when he abruptly realized that Fleur keeping him alive while ordering Callum's death was not because of her magnanimity for one of her own—it was simply the way things stood for her.The way she saw it, it was an insult to her that her mysterious foe had force-fed Arlo that Regeneration Pill.She didn't want that little fact to ever come to light, and killing him and Callum should have been her ideal solution.If anything, she must have spared Arlo because Silas had just recently 'disappeared' after the fall of the Cyprus base, and Fleur couldn't afford to kill so many important Griffins so soon.That, or she could just watch as the entire Qing Eliminating Society became demoralized, and she would lose more than she had bargained for.Hah! And to think she had styled herself as a progenitor of the Griffin lineage, when the lives of her own relatives were worth

  Callum quickly said, "Yes, Sir! Right away, Sir!"However, just as he was about to leave, Tarlon called out from the other end, "Wait."Callum promptly turned and asked, "Yes, My Lord? What is the matter?""Consul Biffle," Tarpon said slowly. "Lady Griffin has demanded that you sacrifice yourself to uphold the Qing Eliminating Society's secrecy."Callum's face turned pale, and he dropped Arlo's severed hand.Even as despair showed all over his face, he begged, "Please, My Lord! You can tell Lady Griffin that I won't ever breathe a word about this! I swear it on my own life, and I humbly request that she take into consideration the fact that I've dedicated my whole life to her service and the Qing Eliminating Society! Please, spare my life so that I may continue to serve!"Tarlon remained impassive. "Do you think I could sway Lady Griffin's orders? Don't worry. She assures you that you will be posthumously promoted, and your family will be afforded the protection of a high-ranked

  Arlo had completely given in to despair—his gaze was empty as his expression went rigid, and he remained silent for 30 seconds.After that, he hung his head and wiped his tears, looking at his left hand as he murmured, "Lady Griffin has left me alive, but I am completely disabled from now on… unable to get dressed, eat on my own, or even wipe my own ass after taking a shit. A man who stands a good six feet tall, living like this? I'd rather die…"Tarlon promptly told him off, "A miserable life is always better than death—that's the eternal truth that will never change. Also, let me remind you that even if you die, you're not saving your left hand. It being attached to your wrist is the greatest threat to the entire Qing Eliminating Society and the Griffin family!"Arlo knew that there was no point in complaining or begging at this point—not even divine intervention could save his left hand now.Even if Fleur's mysterious foe gave him another regeneration pill, it would be pointless
