Another Piece on The Chessboard

Spirit Cleansing Pavilion.

In the huge living room, only Nemu was there.

She was curled up on the sofa, holding a four-story beef burger that was bigger than her face in one hand and a big glass of soda in the other. She raised her two white feet and shook her little head in satisfaction.

In the TV in front of him, the animation of cats and rats was playing.

Although this animation was very old, the content was still very classic no matter when it was put in. Especially for Nemu, the attraction was only second to the food made by her brother.

---

A gentle breeze blew past the wind chimes hanging outside the door, making a series of pleasant sounds.

A white, straight military uniform Haschwalth suddenly appeared in the room on the bell. After looking around, he asked, "Miss Nemu, where is Lord Lod?"

"Brother went to buy vegetables ---"

Nemu stared at the TV without moving his eyes away for a second. He said perfunctorily, "Why don't you sit and wait for a while? He should be back soon."

"Buy vegetables?"

Haschwalth was stunned for half a second, and then he reacted with a strange expression. He shook his head and said helplessly, "In that case, I will wait a while."

After a while, the wind chime outside the door rang again.

Lod was dressed in casual clothes, carrying a bag of ingredients as he walked in. He looked very much like an ordinary civilian. Every day, he rushed about for his life. He did not have the airs of a Soul King at all. If not for the fact that their souls were closely connected, even Haschwalth would not be able to recognize him.

"Yo, you actually came?"

Lod looked up and saw Haschwalth. He said in surprise, "It's better to come early than to come. It's a good time to taste the dish I recently studied. It took me a lot of effort. If not for Nemu shouting to eat, I wouldn't bother to cook."

"Thank you for your kindness, but let's forget about eating." Haschwalth shook his head and said with an unusually serious expression, "There is something very important that I need to report to you in person."

Lod raised his eyebrows and walked into the kitchen with two big bags of ingredients. He said while cleaning, "To be called 'important' by you, it seems that the matter is not small, right?"

"Do you still remember?

The Loki we met two days ago? He received news from the Hydra. He brought Frank Castle and Steve Rogers to the Hand Building to seek cooperation with me." Haschwalth tried to describe it as simply as possible.

"Interesting..."

Lod chuckled and continued to wash the vegetables. He asked, "It seems that Furui's Avengers plan is going to die in the womb. So what is he planning to cooperate with you?"

"According to him, he intends to use the power of the space stone to unite the Quincy of the Wandenreich and destroy the entire Soul Society in one fell swoop." Haschwalth adjusted his glasses with one hand, and his eyes flashed. "But I think he should be lying."

"What's the reason?"

"It's impossible to destroy Soul Society with just a space stone." Haschwalth calmly analyzed, "Moreover, he thinks that we don't know about the infinity stones and he deliberately concealed that he still has the Mind Stone. This alone is very suspicious."

"Hehe ---"

Lod thought for a moment and then laughed. "Then I probably know what medicine he bought in the gourd."

"Please forgive this subordinate for being stupid and not being able to think of the meaning behind it. Please tell me." Haschwalth lowered his head in shame.

"I'll give you a hint."

Lod put the washed dishes aside and wiped his hands. He smiled and asked, "What is the function of the mind stone? Look at what happened to Frank and Steve. Can't you imagine it?"

"You mean..."

Haschwalth was not stupid. He just did not understand Loki. After Lod's reminder, he instantly guessed the meaning of it. He said with a shocked face, "He wants to use the mind stone to control all death god of Soul Society?"

"More than that ---"

Lod smiled and said, "With Loki's greedy character, I'm afraid that what he wants to control is not only Soul Society, but also to control the Wandenreich, especially you who lead the Quincy."

"With just a stone, he can't help thinking too much, right?" Haschwalth snorted coldly, and the killing intent in his eyes surged. He said coldly, "Some people do not know themselves. They stretch their hands too long and need to cut off two fingers. Only then will they remember how painful it is!"

He is just a mere trash, and he actually dares to touch the sphere of influence of the Soul King?

A greedy and despicable person like Loki must be cut off by thunder and lightning. Only by giving him the most unforgettable pain can this kind of thing be completely cut off - please happen, and protect the name of the Soul King with the power of the Wandenreich!

"Sir, please rest assured."

Haschwalth pushed the frame with one hand and said coldly, "I will use the fastest speed to let him understand how stupid he is and completely disappear from this world."

"Don't worry about him."

Lod shook his head and said, "Doesn't he want to cooperate? Promise him that you can cooperate however you want. Just let him be."

"Since we already know his plan, why do we still agree to cooperate?" Haschwalth frowned. He did not understand why Lod would do this. He asked in confusion, "Moreover, for a clown like him, keeping the mind stone is always a disaster. Shouldn't we eliminate the crisis ahead of time?"

"The reason is very simple. I need him to be my bait." Lod patted Haschwalth on the shoulder and said with a faint smile, "An important chess piece that can formally lure out the Quincy, death god, and hollow. If not for him, the play would not be good."

"Looks like I was overthinking things."

Haschwalth instantly understood and laughed at himself. "Sir has already prepared the 'script'. Next, we just need to wait for the character to appear and play a good show together."

"Hehe, that's right."

Lod crossed his fingers and sat on the sofa with a smile. "Speaking of which, I have to thank him. If he did not suddenly appear and interfere, I really can't think of a suitable reason to intervene in this matter from Soul Society's perspective."

Is there a more perfect 'excuse' than Frank?

A foreign force, not only controlled the official death god of Seireitei, but also joined hands with the Wandenreich. There is no more perfect excuse than this!

"Pathetic guy..."

At the thought of the guy's confident appearance, Haschwalth suddenly felt some pity for him.

Controlling Soul Society with the influence of the Wandenreich, Loki's idea is not a problem, and with the mind stone and space stone in hand, if everything is as he expected, the possibility of success is not low, even very high.

But unfortunately, everything was wrong from the beginning.

Whether it was the Wandenreich of the Quincy, or death god's Soul Society, both belonged to the Soul King.

The classic me hit myself, and not only my friend and my friend are from the same camp, but only Loki is foolishly kept in the dark.

The stage has been built, and now only the 'star' is waiting to appear!
