Chapter 743: The Culprit
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Although the First Elder was very unwilling to face this reality directly, the truth was right in front of him. No matter what, he had to believe it.
“Actually, we can put it another way. Everyone’s death that day was because of Ling Yue. No matter what happened at the event location that we don’t know, it was indeed her bomb that ended everyone’s lives.”
The First Elder said this very unwillingly, “Based on the evidence I’ve found so far, the spearhead of this matter is all pointed at Ling Yue. She’s the culprit who killed everyone.” You can trace the roots of this content at n0v@lbin
“No, that’s absolutely impossible. Ling Yue would never do such a thing. You’ve seen her grow up. You know best what kind of person she is.”
The First Elder’s words had no credibility with him. Iluo Jue immediately denied it. “The organization is her home since she was young. She’s lived here for more than ten years. How could she do such a thing?”
Iluo Jue composed himself. “i?know what to do. Don’t worry.” With that, Huo Jue left the room. His eyes were still shining with confidence, as if he already had a rough plan in mind.
When Huo Jue returned to his office, he waved his hand at the dark corner of the room. Right on the heels of that, a figure appeared from the darkness. He lowered his head slightly and crossed his hands in front of his chest. “Elder Huo, Shadow is here to report. What can I do for you?”
The so-called shadows were the most capable generals by each elder’s side. Due to the special nature of the organization, they were collectively called shadows. Their skills were not something ordinary assassins could compare to. They could even exchange two moves with their respective elders.
“I haven’t activated you for many years. The impact of today’s situation is too great, so i won’t be at ease if I don’t hand it to you.” Huo Jue’s attitude was very serious. One could feel the absolute pressure in his words. “In short, you have to be mentally prepared. Be 120% alert.”
“Don’t worry, Elder Huo. From the moment you used me, i knew how serious this matter was. After all, with my ability, it’s not worth it for me to take action on something too simple.”
“That’s right. After so long, you’re still as confident as you were back then. I can rest assured when 1 hand this matter to you.”
Huo Jue slowly raised his dry lips.. “I wonder if you still remember that child, Ling Yue?”
