The Author's POV

Chapter 331

331 Inferno 2

[Waylan's mansion]

"Ugh."

Slumping down on a large sofa, Waylan let out a pained groan.

"That actually hurt."

"Don't be so overly dramatic."

Douglas replied with a slight smile, sitting on the seat opposite to him.

"If you act like that, no one will believe you."

"You think? And here I thought I was convincing enough. Gotta say acting is quite hard, eh?"

"I really think that your acting was fine, though." Douglas chuckled from the side.

"I swear that I will kill you! Your scream was so loud that even I could hear it. Stellar acting, Waylan," He added.

"Maybe I was just too into it. After all, you don't often get fun chances like this." Waylan smiled wryly.

"There was nothing funny about what happened. It was very risky, and even you could've died," Douglas chided.

Giving Douglas a look, Waylan spat.

"As if..."

From the very beginning, he had never been poisoned.

In fact, everything went according to Ren's plan.

Not once had he been in danger.

It went so according to plan that Waylan actually felt a little afraid. Just how amazing was that kid's foresight? Does he even know how good he is?

Nonetheless, Waylan was pleased. Lifting his head, he chuckled, "Haha, those bastards will never think that everything that happened today was part of our plan, including the leak!"

Just remembering Angus's triumphant face made Waylan chuckle to no end.

"I wonder what kind of face those bastards would make once they realize it all. They'd been duped and had just invited in a calamity called Ren Dover!"

"..."

Listening to Waylan's words, Douglas kept a calm smile on his face. His friend was in a good mood, and it made him happy.

Especially when what Waylan said was true.

They were indeed the ones that purposely leaked out the location of where Jomnuk was staying.

Not explicitly, but through the use of the spies sent by Inferno.

Since Waylan was responsible for picking some of the people that were allowed to be selected in the protection mission, he purposely chose two spies from Inferno.

One of them was Angus.

The reason they were able to select Angus was because they weren't working alone.

After sharing their plan with Jomnuk, he readily agreed and helped them get in contact with one of the top dwarven executives.

As he was quite high up, he was able to tell them the right candidate to choose from.

Much to Waylan and Douglas's surprise, the selection was quite large. There were a lot of spies they could've chosen from.

Although the dwarves could not find every single spy that was in their midst, for those that had been found out, they wouldn't immediately arrest them but use them to their advantage such as in situations like this.

That aside, in total, only around five people knew about what was happening.
