Thedy was impressed by hisposure and asked, “Why do you seek audience with the council of Xena?”


    She did not waste time asking stupid and obvious questions, like, why was Shi Lang in this building and how did he get there. The queen was smart enough to deduce things and since the person, who sneaked inside the headquarters of the council had such a calm temperament and was able to speak his purpose in front of her. It meant that he was here on an urgent basis.


    Shi Lang replied, “It is about the administrator of the ounders.”


    Thedy in the white frowned and said, “Why should I believe you, after all, you are an ounder yourself.”


    Her caution was called for, after all, their race was suffering in such a manner because of the ounders. She would not trust the personpletely. She thought that Shi Lang came here to give her some tip, to stop rallying the people against the administrator or something, however, she was shocked when she heard his next words.


    “I have been tasked to assassinate the administrator.” his tone was still calm. He was not worried about thedy in front of him snitching him out. In the data given to him regarding the mission, thisdy was marked in bolds and italics. She was the youngest empress of the cat-men and she was also the one, who almost got raped by the administrator.


    Shi Lang, who thought of himself as an unfortunate person was now feeling very fortunate. The entire might not support him in killing the administrator, but thisdy surely will. She was called, Xenon, the empress of the youngest empire on this. She was the most beautiful of the ten empresses.


    Xenon was a stubborn and grudgefuldy. She was wise, but if someone made her suffer the slightest of injustice, then she will make them pay the appropriate price. The administrator was someone she hated with a passion. She had been rallying fellow victims against him and she intended to kill him.


    Hearing what Shi Lang said, she chuckled and said, “Why shall I believe you?”


    Shi Lang replied, “It is your choice, whether to believe me or not, your majesty. However, I have no reason to lie to you. The government of my homnd has deemed this person as a scourge and threat to the peace we had established between the two worlds. So, whether you help me or not, I will go forward with the task assigned to me.”


    His words were paced calmly and he gave off an adamant aura. Xenon nodded and said, “Let us have a closed discussion, Mister Ace.”


    Shi Lang had no problem and nodded to her. Just before Xenon could speak, the door was knocked on. She said, “You shall wait in the washroom.”


    Shi Langplied and walked inside the washroom. Xenon walked to the door and allowed Samara to ce the food trolley inside, and then she asked her to guard outside and not to step inside until she called for her.


    After Samara left, Xenon called the boy out of the washroom. She sat down on the couch and said, “What do you need from us? You are an ounder, can you not kill the administrator better? Or do you think that we will be fools to lend you a hand and when the things are discovered, your forces will ughter our people under the tag of vengeance?”


    Shi Lang shook his head and said, “Your majesty, I only need you to lure the guy out of the Terran Command Outpost. That ce is made in a way where abilities will not be able to help much. The administrator has a strong one level above me and what I seek is his idental death. My mission is to kill that guy and not to deepen the rift between the two parties, more than it already is.”


    Xenon nodded and asked, “So, how do you n to do this? Do you think luring that turtle will be easy? He hides inside thatmand outpost to protect himself from our rage. Otherwise, he would have long died.” the hatred in her voice could not be described in words.


    Shi Lang said, “What you said is true. He is a turtle, however, when you flip the creature on its back, things be easy.” his voice was calm.


    Xenon raised her willow-like eyebrow and said, “Indeed, but to flip that turtle we would need to take him by surprise. How will you do that?”


    Shi Lang smiled and said, “I beg your pardon, your majesty, but you are the key to flipping the turtle.”


    Xenon red at him, Shi Lang looked unaffected on the surface but if thisdy went berserk at this point, then even his corpse might not make it out of here. He continued, “Your Majesty, you have seen what is the weakness of that guy and what can flip himpletely. I am not saying that you will have to do something demeaning. I only need your help to call that guy outside themand outpost.”


    Xenon raised her eyebrow and asked, “What do you n to do? Only when I know the ins and outs will I lend my help to you, ounder.”


    Shi Lang nodded and began to tell her what he had in mind, an hour passed for the two people to collude in the conspiracy. Xenon was impressed by this young boy in front of him. Do not judge thedy with the title of the youngest in the crown club. She was in her early thirties. She said, “Very well, Young Ounder, I will help you in this. However, none of my people should be inflicted. Otherwise, even if we go down, we will go down fighting. Do you understand?”


    Shi Lang nodded and said, “Your Majesty, rest assured, the n will not fail. Also, you will receive your share of reward on your contribution.”


    …


    NOTE: Shi Lang is not wearing a mask, because he is supposed toplete this task without being spotted, and secret division troops are always standing out so he is ying this one like a normal solider and avoid limelight.
