Chapter 1090: Chapter 1088: Dragon Summit Inn (12)
I must say, Gerard’s overly cooperative questioning successfully made the scene reach the most shocking effect.
In a world full of ash and decay, the audience even forgot about their own safety for a mont and frantically pondered the significance behind those four words, Native Council.
As a secretive, illegal organization, the Native Council had always operated in the shadows, leading without seeking fa.
As a worthy opponent, Fu Qian was not a small-minded person and did not mind helping to promote it, aiding its fa to spread far and wide.
Especially since not long ago, they had also promoted the Rebirth Club’s prestige.
The worldly people from the Wasteland gathered here were undoubtedly individuals with extensive connections, making them an excellent audience.
What was even more gratifying was that so of them already had a certain concept of this na.
“Do you think you can spout nonsense here and people will believe you?”
The first to speak up was, astonishingly, Gerard.
“Heh heh… You truly underestimate the Sirens.”
With a sneer, Gerard sized up Fu Qian, his gaze finally resting on the eyeball in his palm.
“I’ve felt sothing was off since earlier, and I thank you for your reminder, which finally helped recall that peculiar sensation.”
“You are not from the Native Council, nor is your surna Lu… is it, Master Ji?”
As he spoke the last sentence, Gerard even glanced at Amir nearby, his expression profoundly aningful.
This is a top-tier setup!
Facing such skepticism, Fu Qian wore a smile that wasn’t quite a smile on his face, yet he was inwardly full of admiration.
“Why would you say that?”
“Why… Heh heh, I think it’s better to let soone else answer that, right Amir?”
With a sneer, Gerard directly nad nas.
“Do you want to pretend again that you don’t recognize this Mr. Lu?”
…
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Amir, usually quick-witted, suddenly displayed an odd expression, struggling to respond.
“This is getting more and more interesting!”
Even though he was still in a perilous situation, Gerard seed to enjoy this position of attack and defense quite comfortably.
“If you don’t want to say it, I’ll help you.”
The next mont he even generously offered to help.
“It is said that years ago, a young mber of the Ji Family was once full of promise, but sadly, fate wasn’t kind, and he ultimately failed to inherit the Talent. Unable to accept this, he not only left the family but even ventured into the nefarious path of Limb Attachnt… am I right, Mr. Ji Ping?”
With the stance of a victor, Gerard pronounced a familiar na.
At this point, he evidently had less concern for his own safety.
The reason madn are terrifying is that their actions are unpredictable.
Once they belong to an organization, no matter how mad or cold-blooded they appear, their actions will beco traceable under invisible constraints.
“It seems the Ji Family is keeping a low profile on the surface, but secretly has many plans!”
So it’s soone from the Ji Family…
Following Gerard’s words, the inn could be said to be filled with stunned guests.
Compared to the Native Council, the na Ji Ping was much more familiar.
After all, everyone here is from the sa worldly society, and chatting about the gossips of aristocratic families is also a common side dish when drinking.
Could this really be the misguided scion of the Ji Family? Today’s situation just beca too delicate!
And if so, isn’t this the legendary Ashfall?
Quickly, a group realized a problem, suddenly reexamining the surrounding grey and white.
The Ji Family has a large and prosperous enterprise, so over the years, the need for family mbers to take action has been rare. Thus, at first, no one thought in this direction.
Now with an answer in hand, the deduction process was impeccably smooth.
The more they thought about it, the more it seed likely. Soon, ordinary people also recalled the terror of this top-tier Transcendent Talent; its most typical aspect was undoubtedly its ability to massacre the invincible.
It was said that with a Ranking gap, anyone trapped in Ashfall would only face the fate of being toyed with.
Just like now.
…
The Ji Family mber without any Talent, actually beca one through Limb Attachnt?
And then reunited with the Ji Family? Collaborating in this manner?
“What on earth is the Ji Family trying to do?”
Under the threat to their lives, soone finally couldn’t restrain themselves, slamming their hand on the table and demanding harshly from Amir.
“You must be out of your mind.”
Unfortunately, after the initial shock had passed, the latter had already adjusted his emotions, promptly mocking in return.
“Gerard spouts a few nonsensical things, and you all believe him?”
“If Mr. Lu really was an assistant sent by the Ji Family, would he tell such a lie that even Gerard could see through? And allow him to wear the Anchor on his body?”
…That was true; this lie was indeed clumsily told.
Not only was the face not concealed, but even such signature abilities were used directly.
Even if Gerard did not point it out, many people would likely realize it soon enough.
“Whether you believe it or not…”
A series of retorts left the other party speechless. Amir then turned his head to look at Gerard, his face as still as water.
“The Ji Family has absolutely no interest in the lives of the Siren people this ti.”
“…Then how do you explain this?”
Faced with Amir’s unprecedentedly serious tone, Gerard hesitated for a mont, but was still unwilling to let it go easily.
“There are just too many explanations!”
At this mont, Fu Qian’s voice ca through.
The wine without a bottle had already been poured out, and he rubbed the eyeball in the palm of his hand with his thumb, his tone sounding sowhat lethargic.
“Like maybe although I awakened my Talent, I harbor resentnt against the family that abandoned , so I not only secretly kill people but also intentionally create this full-of-holes disguise, trying to provoke a dispute between two families?”
It seed there was so logic to that…
For a mont, not only Gerard and Amir were stunned, but the bystanders were also exchanging glances.
In this already tense situation, if Gerard was even slightly willing to listen to the explanation and realized the identity of the other party, a fight might have broken out on the spot.
And then, those trapped here with him would likely face a worrying outco.
“So you really are…”
Even Amir couldn’t help asking for a mont.
“No.”
Fu Qian smiled and shook his head, looking at the confused faces of the crowd, his mind, however, harbored thoughtful considerations.
Between the Siren and the Ji Family this ti, there seed to be so kind of tacit understanding!
His performance just now, apart from helping the Native Council gain worldwide fa, the main reason was his feeling of so strange atmosphere between the two major forces.
It looked like a confrontation, but it stayed entirely at the level of verbal exchanges.
When their people died, the first reaction was also to clear the relationship.
Even under such extre circumstances where his identity was suspected to be that of Ji Ping, Amir’s choice was still to clarify solemnly.
It was as if they had been strictly ordered not to have a direct confrontation with the Siren.
