Chapter 589: Inverse Calculation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Alfred’s POV:

Actually, 1 wasn’t sure if Lily would respond. I was afraid that Lily wasn’t conscious at all.

So when she suddenly heard the response, she was stunned for a few seconds. Then, 1 pinched the slime in my hand and immediately asked, “It’s me, Lily! Are you alright? Are you injured? Is there anyone else next to you? Don’t be afraid. We’re here to save you. You’ll be safe soon!”

“I’m fine. I’m not injured. The kidnappers have left, so I’m safe for now.” Lily’s voice was trembling, proving her emotions fluctuated violently.

“But there’s a more serious problem now. The kidnappers left behind a bomb filled with silver powder. According to them, it was also soaked in the blood of an unknown evil god. Once it explodes, it would be spread throughout the Silver Moon Pack. We have to stop it. Call someone immediately, Alfred.” “Okay, okay. Where are you? Do you hear Prince Yarin calling you? If you do, answer him, and we’ll find your location!”

“I can’t. My eyes are blindfolded, and 1 can’t make a sound. The kidnappers had placed a spell on me. Once my voice exceeds loo decibels, the bomb would explode immediately.”

I felt all the blood in my body freeze, and what made me even more terrified was still to come.

“This is a time bomb, set to last for three hours. I kept counting the time in my heart. It had already been two and a half hours. I don’t know if my senses have gone wrong while I am blindfolded, but there might be lesser time left.”

Half an hour... Half an hour...

My mind was racing. Half an hour was enough for the police and bomb disposal experts to arrive, but the prerequisite was that we had to know Lily’s exact location!

However, Lily could not respond, and there was not much time left on Yarin’s side. Was there any way to solve this problem?

“Maybe we can do an inverse calculation?” The slime in my hand suddenly said, “If Lily can’t make a sound, we can do the opposite. Can’t we check which place is silent?”

“I only have a minute left. This is the most efficient way. Listen, Alfred, 1 need you to contact the Queen and Silver Moon’s Alpha immediately and ask them to send someone over. I’ll give you a few possible options. If we can’t accurately find the correct answer, we can narrow the scope at least.”

“What are you going to do?” I asked subconsciously, but the slime in my hand did not answer. I thought about Yarin’s current situation. He probably didn’t have time to explain more. I didn’t have much time left either. Lily only had half an hour left. This was a life-and-death situation.

I immediately called out to my grandfather, and he immediately responded.

“Please inform Her Majesty that a conspiratory group is harming the people of the Silver Moon Pack. Immediately send the police and bomb disposal experts to Parallel Street. Lily is being held somewhere in these three streets. The kidnappers left behind a bomb containing a large amount of silver powder and evil substances. It will explode in less than half an hour. Please, immediately...”

Francis didn’t ask questions and said calmly, “We’ll feel it in ten minutes. Stay steady, Alfred. Do you know Lily’s exact location?”

“No, I don’t for the time being...”

Before 1 could finish, a loud sound came from afar, as if something had exploded.

My heart froze.

However, 1 didn’t get the fatal silver powder. Instead, the sickly slime in my hand suddenly said, “The bridal shop and art classroom on the left Parallel Street, the vegetarian restaurant on the middle Parallel Street, and the dance studio on the right Parallel Street. Lily must be at one of these four places...”

Yarin seemed to be exhausted. He only had time to tell us four locations before he could not speak again. 1 saw the slime in my hand suddenly soften and melt. It dripped to the ground and then slid away like water.

I immediately followed him and told them about the four locations.

“Keep in touch, Alfred. How is His Royal Highness?” Francis asked.

“I don’t know, he... I’ve been separated from him, so I don’t know his current situation.” To keep it a secret, 1 lied to my grandfather.

“Alright, it’s not wrong for young people to be bold.” Francis did not have any complaints about their slightly outrageous behavior. “We will bring the doctor with us. 1 believe you have developed a sincere friendship with His Royal Highness, but if he is not feeling well, you should not hide it, okay?”

“I understand.”

I followed the slime’s tracks and finally found Yarin behind a building.

A large pool of viscous gel that looked like diluted blood squirmed irregularly. This sight was horrible to the eyes and the soul. Even though I knew who it was, 1 was shocked and subconsciously put on a defensive posture.

“How do you feel, sir?” I couldn’t find anything on the liquid that could be called a face or iconic features, so 1 could only look at the air and care about him. “The doctor will be here in ten minutes.. Is there anything 1 can do for you?”
