Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2453

"However, from the way things are going now, we might not need to do so anymore."

"What? Why? Would you rather have Bullard Bay suffer through this endless war, General Arthur?"

"No, no, Mister Penn. I think you've misunderstood me. You might not know this yet, but all the fighting across Bullard Bay ended all of a sudden earlier this afternoon. The war across the entire Bullard Bay stopped in just an hour."

"That really is a miracle."

Wilbur was stunned at the news as well. He knew that stopping the war would be a difficult feat if they were to go on. They would require at least three to five months of negotiations and signing quite a few peace treaties.

The Church of Holy Illuminati had single-handedly started the Bullard Bay war and it would definitely be much easier for them to take care of the situation. However, despite all that, ending the war in an hour was still mind-boggling.

What Wilbur did not know was that Bernal had been one of Holt's most favored right-hand men, and Bernal had written a letter while waiting for Holt in the underground palace that would be delivered at a certain time.

Bernal had prepared for the situation for either outcome. If Holt had not betrayed the church, the letter would have been destroyed and never sent out. On the other hand, if Holt had betrayed the church and even killed Bernal for exposing him, this secret letter would be sent out and all the bishops and cardinals in the Church of Holy Illuminati would know about this. They would know that Holt had tricked them and that his intention with the Bullard Bay war was not so that the civilians would live more orderly lives.

That was where the next fragment was, and Wilbur just had to get to the island to get his hands on it.

By now, Wilbur had found five out of the nine fragments, and only four were left.

He had improved his cultivation skills in the mirage by a great deal, and searching for the remaining fragments should be much easier now. However, because of the additional variables caused by the involvement of Holt and the Dark Messenger, Wilbur had to be extra careful.
