678: Chapter 678: You Were A Beauty, How Did You Turn Into A Thief!
“Why shouldn’t I let them go?”
Isabella glanced at Hattori Jiro and thought to herself, if you’re so capable, then go stop the Dragon Guard mbers and prevent them from leaving!
Hattori Jiro stomped his foot and said, “They are murderers!
Haven’t the ta-human organizations here lost people in the recent series of attack incidents?
What if they get away…”
Isabella interrupted Hattori Jiro, speaking indifferently, “Those attack incidents do have a lot of questionable points.
Without concrete evidence that they are the perpetrators, it’s not good for us to be too forceful.
Besides, they’re just going back to the hotel, not leaving Arica!”
Sardin and others were nodding, thinking to themselves that the hotel where the Dragon Guard mbers were staying was already under the watchful eyes of countless people.
For those Dragon Guard mbers to sneak out of Las Vegas would simply be impossible.
And giving them three days’ ti to see if they can find out who’s behind all this was fair.
If they can’t figure it out by then, the victims themselves would have a reason to seek retribution.
Only, after these incidents, the current “World ta-Human Organizations Elite Championship” could no longer continue.
Among the ta-human organizations that made it into the top ten, except for Dragon Guard, the others acknowledged the Statue of Liberty as the champion of the current tournant.
On the surface, the Statue of Liberty won without fighting, reaping a great advantage, to continue commanding and dispatching tasks to various ta-human organizations for the next five years.
However, due to Dragon Guard’s withdrawal, this privilege would be greatly undermined, and their operational capacity on a global scale would also be vastly reduced.
……
“Who exactly is trying to fra us?
It’s infuriating!”
“Obviously, this is deliberately targeted at us, the Dragon Guard.
It must be one of our enemies!”
“The Dragon Guard has no shortage of enemies.
It’s going to be tough to figure out who’s behind this!”
“They’d better hope we don’t find out who’s pulling the strings, otherwise we’ll wipe them out!!”
“Could it be one of the participating ta-human organizations in the championship that concocted a ploy, not wanting us to win the championship?”
“That seems likely!”
…
After returning to the hotel, the Dragon Maiden, Long Da, Long Er, and others gathered in Fang Bai’s presidential suite to discuss the recent incidents, each of them seething with anger.
“Dragon Maiden, contact the leader and tell him the details of this incident!
Also, all of you are to stay in the hotel for the ti being.
Without my permission, none of you may go out!”
After giving a few instructions to the Dragon Maiden and the others, Fang Bai stood up, ready to leave.
“Instructor Fang, where are you going?”
The Dragon Maiden asked.
Fang Bai said, “To investigate the mastermind!”
The Dragon Maiden muttered, “You won’t let us go out, yet you’re going out yourself…
If you want to investigate the mastermind, it would be better to take us with you – the more people, the stronger we are!”
Fang Bai shook his head and said, “If I’m not mistaken, the hidden adversary must be watching our every move in the shadows right now, so the more secretive this matter is, the better.
The more people involved, the more likely we are to spoil things.”
Long Da also said, “Instructor Fang is strong and capable.
If even he can’t find out who the hidden adversary is, then we are even less likely to succeed.
We might end up holding Instructor Fang back.
So, we should just honestly stay in the hotel.
That way, we might even draw so of the hidden adversary’s attention, allowing Instructor Fang to investigate more intently.”
The Dragon Maiden knew that both Fang Bai and Long Da made sense.
She sighed and said to Fang Bai with concern, “Our opponent is hiding in the shadows, and they must be extrely cunning and ferocious.
You…
You must be very careful!”
Fang Bai smiled and said, “Don’t worry.
In this world, the people who can hurt are probably not even born yet!”
Though his words sounded arrogant and overbearing, the Dragon Maiden and the others fully agreed with him.
As the sky outside darkened and after the Dragon Maiden, Long Da, and others had each returned to their rooms, Fang Bai took a hot bath, changed into fresh clothes, and then sat cross-legged on the bed, extending his Divine Sense to monitor the movents around the hotel.
In a room across the street, the black-clad woman, who seed like a Wrathful Beauty from Fang Bai’s past, had disappeared, leaving Fang Bai feeling sowhat lancholic.
“You were once a beauty, how turned into a thief…
If you weren’t one of the ‘Wrathful Beauties’, maybe we could have been good friends…”
Fang Bai withdrew his Divine Sense, muttering to himself with an expression of regret.
Though the black-clad woman had a Spiritual Artifact to conceal her Martial Artist Aura, making even Fang Bai unable to sense her, her dress and the way she spied on Fang Bai reminded him of the “Wrathful Beauties” — that unscrupulous, malicious Killer Organization that wanted him dead.
The “Killer Organization” had repeatedly threatened him and those close to him, which had touched Fang Bai’s sore spot, so he had sworn to eradicate this evil organization.
The “Wrathful Beauties” had tried and failed to assassinate Fang Bai multiple tis, losing quite a few experts in the process, and thus, they considered Fang Bai a thorn in their side, a nail in their eye.
It could be said that the enmity between Fang Bai and the “Wrathful Beauties” was such that they could not coexist – it was a fight to the death.
Fang Bai suspected that the series of attacks were closely related to that black-clad woman who had been spying on him.
On the surface, these events seed to target the Dragon Guard, but only Fang Bai understood that they were indeed targeting him.
Perhaps the “Wrathful Beauties” had intended to use others to eliminate him, inciting conflicts between various ta-human organizations and himself.
The “Wrathful Beauties” organization was secretive, with mbers all over the world, and many experts, their overall strength not inferior to any other ta-human organization, causing headaches for countries around the world.
They had the capability to carry out the series of attacks that had occurred.
Fang Bai did not know what status that black-clad woman held within the “Wrathful Beauties”.
Although the Jade Thumb Ring she wore hid her Martial Artist Aura, preventing Fang Bai from sensing her true strength, he speculated that she must at least be an Earth Level Martial Artist.
According to the “Wrathful Beauties”‘ habit of dispatching assassins, after the two Earth Level Beginner assassins they had previously sent were taken down by him, they would surely send a more powerful assassin to deal with him.
From this, it could be inferred that if the black-clad woman was indeed an assassin from the “Wrathful Beauties”, her strength must be at least that of an Earth Level Interdiate or even higher.
After focusing his breath for a mont in the room, Fang Bai got up and left the hotel.
The mont Fang Bai walked out of the hotel’s entrance, at least a dozen pairs of eyes were fixed on him.
Fang Bai sneered inside, paying no attention to who those people might be, and continued on his way.
Fang Bai wandered aimlessly through the streets and alleys of Las Vegas with an irregular pace, sotis speeding up, sotis slowing down, and occasionally releasing his Divine Sense to sense the movents around him.
