Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 721: IUD-Chapter 718 The Worst First Meeting

Watson.

From just this name, Fang Li already knew who he was dealing with.

After all, the name Watson is closely associated with Holmes.

Once, the partner of Sherlock Holmes, whose deductive abilities were so advanced they bordered on precognition, was named Watson.

Since then, the name Watson has been synonymous with outstanding assistants.

This underscores how famous the name really is.

The person before Fang Li claiming to be Watson was clearly the descendant of that Sherlock Holmes’ partner.

Fang Li had heard from Aria that while the Watson family had long-standing ties with the British Royal Family, and was prominent in finance and social circles, they also had their hands in covert operations.

This so-called covert work was, as it turned out, related to Liberty Mason.

In other words, the Watson family had joined Liberty Mason.

And this young man claiming to be L.L.

Watson was the envoy sent by Liberty Mason.

Of course, none of this mattered much to Fang Li.

Even if this person were indeed a royal blood relative of the British Royal Family, if Fang Li didn’t want to acknowledge him, he would just give him the cold shoulder.

Thus, Fang Li focused on another aspect of Watson’s identity.

“Aria is your fiancée?”

Fang Li raised an eyebrow and looked at the charming young man.

Watson, with a confident smile on his face, responded, “What? Didn’t you know? Could it be that Aria hasn’t mentioned it to you? It seems your relationship isn’t as good as I thought.”

There was no doubt that these words were laced with venom.

But thinking about it, it was only natural.

“Our Watson Family’s relationship with the Holmes family is something that even a textbook would describe,” Watson said.

“Given that, it’s not surprising that I have an engagement with Aria.”

Aria was a descendant of Sherlock Holmes.

Watson was a descendant of the first-generation Watson.

Sherlock and Watson had been close friends a century ago.

Aria had once said that Holmes could only reach their full potential with an excellent partner.

In this context, it’s easy to imagine how close the Holmes family and the Watson family were.

After all, the first-generation Watson was the very partner of Sherlock Holmes.

“Originally, I was supposed to be Aria’s partner, as only I could bring out her greatest abilities. This was concluded a century ago.”

At this point, Watson’s tone was filled with unmasked hostility towards Fang Li.

“But Aria has chosen another man as her partner and maintains a close relationship with him. As Aria’s fiancé, I’m sure you can understand how I feel about this.”

At this stage, even a fool could understand what Watson was implying.

“So that’s it,” Fang Li said with some amusement.

“Is this why the envoy from Liberty Mason views Deen unfavorably because of me?”

Fang Li finally understood the reason behind Jeanne’s comment.

However, Watson said, “Don’t misunderstand. My lack of faith in Deen isn’t because of you. Besides, you’re just one person. You can’t represent Deen.”

This statement seemed reasonable at first glance, but it still conveyed Watson’s disdain for Fang Li.

—

“The reason I’m not optimistic about Deen is that I believe Grenada (servant) has the greater advantage. Unless something unexpected happens, Grenada (servant) should win this battle,” Watson said carelessly.

“As for Deen, although there are forces like Vatican City, Hotogi Shrine, and Ulus, they still can’t match Grenada (servant). At least, many in Liberty Mason think so.”

“The reason I’m here is that Liberty Mason sent me for a final reconnaissance to see if Deen has any hidden trump cards that we don’t know about,” Watson said with a nonchalant demeanor.

“If there are any, I might change my mind and have Liberty Mason join Deen.”

Fang Li understood the implication of this statement.

In other words, while Liberty Mason had chosen neutrality, it didn’t mean they were unwilling to participate in the battle.

Liberty Mason was merely waiting to see which side, Deen or Grenada (servant), had the greater advantage before deciding which to join.

“And I’m the key to deciding whether Deen can gain the power of Liberty Mason.”

Watson finally turned his gaze to Fang Li, his tone becoming more rigid.

“If you want Liberty Mason to join Deen, you should know how to treat me properly,” He said, his tone demanding.

The car fell into silence.

Fang Li didn’t respond immediately, simply keeping quiet.

He leaned against the car window, propping up his face as he looked ahead.

As the sports car sped along, the scenery outside retreated quickly.

After a while, Fang Li, feeling quite bored, spoke up.

“Is that all you wanted to say?”

Watson’s eyes twitched slightly, and he fell silent.

Then, Watson sneered.

“Your choice is unwise, Gun Magician. If you offend me, the envoy, and prevent Liberty Mason from joining Deen, aren’t you worried about Deen’s people coming after you?”

Hearing this, Fang Li just curled his lips.

“If you’re asking if I’m afraid, then let me answer you,” Fang Li said, looking at Watson with a sudden smile.

“I’m not afraid at all. Sorry to disappoint you.”

His words made Watson’s expression turn noticeably sour.

“…I didn’t expect that the ‘Gun Magician’ from the rumors would be such an unwise person. It seems I overestimated you,” Watson said with a sharp tone.

“If Deen has people like you, they will inevitably lose in the battle. Joining Grenada (servant) is indeed the right choice.”

Changing the topic, Watson said,

“From today, I will also transfer to Butei High and team up with Aria.” Watson continued.

“I will show Aria that I am the most suitable person to be her partner.”

“Is that so?” Fang Li responded casually.

“Then I look forward to your performance, envoy.”

Watson didn’t say anything more.

The luxurious sports car turned around and began driving towards Butei High.
