"Were they poisoned?" Eugene looked around at the crowd and asked tentatively.
"Damn it, this kind of dirty thing actually happened again." Ruby looked angry. "They haven't even set off yet and they're already using dirty tricks to compete. These despicable people!"
Ian slightly frowned: "Things haven't been investigated clearly so don't jump to conclusions. If they were poisoned then it's best not to leave the residence alone during this time so as not to be tricked."
Eugene glanced at him and said, "They were probably poisoned by their teammates, right?"
Ian turned to look at him: "What do you mean?"
Eugene looked at him cautiously and said, "Two people were poisoned at once, and at the same time. If it was an outsider who poisoned them, it would be very difficult to succeed. Also … they were poisoned, so they would be sent to recuperate, and new members would be added in. If the other members of their team are dissatisfied with these two people then wouldn't it be better to use this method to kick them out? "
Upon hearing this, Ian, Ruby, and the others glanced at him and guessed what he meant.
Ian shook his head slightly and said, "You don't have to worry about anything. It's impossible for someone from the same team to poison them. That's because the people who filled in at the last minute are all rookies like you guys. As for your original teammates, you've worked with them at least once or twice, so you have some understanding of them. They are much better than rookies.
Eugene let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "I was thinking too much."
Ian ignored him and looked at Dean who was silent next to him: "Don't go out during this time. Stay in the residence and train well."
Dean nodded.
The next day.
Another person was poisoned. The news spread again.
All the Dragon Guards who lived on the mountain became cautious and no longer went out for a walk alone.
In the blink of an eye, the date of the expedition was near.
On this day, a team suddenly arrived outside the residence of Team Seven. The leader of the team was a short but strong man. He was no more than one meter tall and seemed to have dwarfism. However, his arms were large and his body was stocky. He carried two two-meter long axes on his back like two black flags. He looked extremely domineering.
Norwich was next to him. He took a step forward and shouted: "Ian."
Ian, who was enjoying lunch with the others in the living room, had already noticed the commotion outside. When he heard Norwich's voice, he frowned slightly and realized that something bad was about to happen.
"You guys eat first," he said and got up to open the door.
When he saw the short, stocky man next to Norwich, his expression changed. He immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Deacon Tander."
The short man coldly snorted: "Get the kid named Dean out of your team."
Ian was puzzled, but quickly nodded. He turned around and called out to Dean who was eating in the living room.
Dean had long sensed the aggressive group of people outside. He knew that the bait had finally caught the real big fish. He got up and walked out of the room. His gaze immediately fell on the short, stocky man beside Norwich. The man's body was surging with heat, even stronger than Ian's.
"Are you Dean?" The short man looked up and down at Dean and said coldly: "You are the one who poisoned the other teams these days, right? This time you have committed a big crime. Come back with me and prepare to serve your sentence! "
Ian who was standing next to Dean was stunned. Eugene and others in the room were also stunned.
The poisoner who had caused such an uproar in the past few days was actually this newcomer in their team?
Dean smiled: "Deacon Tan, I'm just a newcomer. Don't you think it's a good idea to wrongly accuse me?"
"Well, evidence?" The short man's voice was cold: "I'll talk to you about evidence once you are in prison!"
Dean narrowed his eyes and smiled: "So, you don't have evidence. Since you don't have evidence, can you arrest people? Or are you going to confess under torture?"
"Don't talk nonsense! Do you want me to personally capture you?" The short man scolded.
Dean raised his eyebrows as he looked at Norwich who was standing next to him.
Norwich was aware of Dean's gaze. He was helpless in his heart. He wanted to observe Dean but the attitude of the short man was too tough. He knew that there would be big trouble if he continued to watch the drama. He whispered: "Deacon Tander, Dean is a member of the Dragon Hall. You can't take him away if you don't have evidence."
The short man was stunned and turned his head to look at him. Suddenly, he seemed to understand something. There was a trace of gloominess in his eyes as he said, "Elder Harley Ka wants to protect him?"
Norwich helplessly replied: "This is the rule of the Dragon Hall. It has nothing to do with elder Harley."
The short man stared at him, snorted and turned to look at Dean: "Do you want evidence? I'll give you evidence! You are also a senior hunter. Considering your low physique, the clan gave you a batch of resources. However, you poisoned the God's Marrows and scattered them all over the mountain. People picked them up and used them, causing them to be poisoned. "
Everyone was stunned as they heard his words. They looked at Dean in unison. They didn't expect the youth to be so scheming.
Dean smiled: "Deacon Tander, you have wronged me. You have said that I have poisoned the God's marrows and scattered them all over the mountain. The problem is that those who picked them up were poisoned. Do you mean that I have enmity with everyone on the mountain? I'm a newcomer who has just joined the Dragon Hall. I'm not familiar with the people in my team. Let alone the others. "
"Moreover, the God's marrows are so precious. Why would I do such a thing? It's harmful to others and not beneficial to myself."
The short man's face turned ugly. He realized that the evidence he had given was the truth but it was tantamount to a lie if it didn't make sense logically.
He didn't want to argue with Dean. As Dean had said, it was the simplest and most effective way to torture him. But he didn't expect that elder Harley would protect Dean. Didn't that simple-minded fool know that Dean's existence was a hidden danger to Aisha?
Ian and the others secretly nodded as they heard Dean's words. Indeed, they would never do such a thing unless Dean was a madman.
But after these days of contact with Dean, Ian knew that Dean's mental state was very normal. This could only mean that Dean had offended someone.
They had long since become accustomed to this sort of thing and were inured to it.
The short man's eyes were gloomy as he saw everyone looking at him. He couldn't say anything about Dean's identity as it was related to the change of saintess and the reputation of the former saintess Aisha. He was the only one who knew about the poison in God's marrows so he couldn't say it. He could say that Dean's smell was on the bottle which could prove that the God's marrows were Dean's.
But … the smell could be added. As long as they could find Dean's clothes then the god's marrow would be stained with his smell. Such evidence was too weak!
Suddenly, he thought of something and his eyes lit up. He stared at Dean and sneered: "Evidence? Do you still have the God's Marrow? Can you take it out? "
Dean shrugged: "I've absorbed it."
The short and strong man was waiting for this sentence. He sneered and said, "Finished absorbing? In other words, you have evolved into a primary limitless? "
Dean understood his intention. He calmed down and said: "Yes."
