Everyone was surprised as they looked at each other.
They hadn't heard of this matter but they didn't expect Dean to know about it. It was obvious that the other party's intelligence network was wider and deeper than their grasp. Even … it had penetrated into the inner wall!
Everyone was secretly awe-inspiring as they thought of this. They felt that it was possible to solve the dark parliament's problem. Moreover Dean's strength was far beyond the level of Hunters. It was impossible to have such a powerful strength if he didn't have a background in the inner wall.
It was important to know that only the inner wall had God's marrow. Although they could exchange it through secret channels but the price was expensive and the quantity was very small. It would take a long time to accumulate God's marrow to help people to break through the Hunter's limit.
Dean squinted his eyes as he asked the question. His broad vision allowed him to notice everyone's expression at the same time.
Hearing this third question, the Nether King was slightly startled. He was shocked that this cold youth's intelligence was so extensive. He actually knew such a secret. He thought that he was the only one who knew about Dean's adoptive parents. After all, the area where the genius lived wasn't far from the area under his jurisdiction.
Pluto had noticed the genius when he became famous. He sent people to monitor him in secret and the harvest was not small. He knew that the genius was suffering from some kind of disease when his adoptive mother brought a medical kit into his castle. Moreover it was a disease that couldn't be known by others.
'Secret' was a person's weakness. It was also the best weapon that could be used!
It was great news for him. He could use this point to make Dean join him.
Unfortunately, he didn't dig out the information from the woman's mouth. He was about to blackmail Dean but Dean was taken away by the inner wall. He had no choice but to regret his actions. But he didn't think that he wasn't the only one who knew about this matter.
Thinking of this, he secretly looked at Dean. Suddenly, he thought of a place that he had neglected.
When he chose to publish the news of the death of Dean's adoptive parents in the newspaper, his purpose was to let the new elder of the 9th region, who was in front of him, know about it. The purpose of letting the youth know about the death was to verify whether he was the genius sent by the Monastery or not. After all, the Monastery was the one who took away Dean. Pluto was also from the Monastery so he knew a little about the Monastery's way of doing things.
"Could it be..." He was surprised and looked up at Dean quietly. He saw that Dean was also staring at him. Dean's eyes seemed to go straight to the depths of his heart, exposing all his secrets.
Pluto's heart tightened as he lowered his head. Cold sweat overflowed from his palms.
"No, it must be a mistake." Pluto thought to himself: 'That kid is only talented in divine technique. He can't be compared to this person. Even with the resources of the Mystic Sect, he can only reach the same level as me. It's impossible for him to be so strong. He can easily kill a top Hunter like the Night King. This is at least the level of a high-level Frontiersman. I must be thinking too much.'
Pluto's heart gradually relaxed as he thought about the previous two questions: "Asking about the Pope's preferences should mean that he wants to defeat the Dark Church and start a war with the Pope. Asking about this genius should mean that he wants to get this person. After all, this genius is too powerful. He can repel the barbarians by himself. He only needs to produce a legendary item to be comparable to ten or more senior hunters."
His mood was completely relaxed as he thought of this. He was about to report to Dudian, but he was stunned. The next moment his pupils shrank and his body was covered with goosebumps.
"No!" Pluto's heart was full of horror: "Why would he ask who killed the kid's adoptive parents? Wasn't his goal to find out what his adoptive parents knew? Why didn't he ask the people who killed his adoptive parents if they knew this information from them? Isn't this the most important point? "
Pluto's heart was pounding but soon he thought: "Maybe I'm thinking too much? He just wants to ask who killed his adoptive parents first, and then ask if he knows anything about it. "
Pluto hesitated as he thought about this possibility. His intuition told him that there was something strange about this matter. He pondered for a moment and chose to remain silent. He thought to himself, "I'm already the deputy speaker. There's no need for me to claim any more credit, lest others get jealous of me. Besides, if he's that Divine Incantation kid, I'm dead meat!"
"Why? Doesn't anyone know?" Dean narrowed his eyes as he saw that no one answered.
Everyone looked at each other, looking at each other, but no one spoke.
"Who is the fourth elder?" Dean frowned.
A middle-aged man shrouded in a black robe, short and fat like a bucket, hastily said, "It's me."
Dean stared at him: "As far as I know, the place where they died is in your jurisdiction, right?"
"Yes." The stout middle-aged man said in embarrassment, "But I really didn't pay attention to such insignificant people. Who would have thought that they would know about the genius in the Divine Incantation. If I had known earlier, I would have directly kidnapped them and interrogated them."
Dean stared at him for a long time. He turned to Pluto: "Do you know anything?"
Pluto's heart tightened: "Elder, this subordinate didn't pay attention to these small characters."
"Really?" Dean stared at him.
Pluto's heart beat faster as he looked at Dean's eyes. It seemed that all of his thoughts had been seen through. However, he was in a high position for many years so he responded quickly: "Elder, this subordinate really doesn't know. But this subordinate will go back and investigate the cause of death!"
"Cause of death?" Dean narrowed his eyes: "Don't you know?"
Pluto was startled as his heartbeat sped up. He clenched his fists and looked at Dean: "Elder, I really didn't know. Although I thought about using the adoptive parents of the genius to threaten him to help the dark church manufacture the inventions. But then I thought that they were just adoptive parents and their feelings weren't deep. Moreover as far as I know, the genius was forcibly recruited to the scavenger training camp after he was adopted by his adoptive parents. They spent less time together so I didn't do that."
"In case we fail, we will be exposed and will arouse the vigilance of other forces."
The others nodded slightly as they heard his words. Indeed, they had similar thoughts but they gave up because of the same reason. After all, the halo of that genius was too bright at that time. Moreover, he was a person who had been appointed by the Knight Hall. It could be said that he had a bright future ahead of him. It was unrealistic for him to abandon his halo and join the Dark Church for the sake of his adoptive parents.
Dean stared at Pluto for a moment before slowly retracting his eyes. When everyone thought that the question was over, he looked at Pluto again: "Did you kill them?"
Pluto's heart contracted as cold sweat overflowed from his body. He felt that he was completely seen through as he looked at Dean's eyes. After all, lying was a guilty thing. Although he was sophisticated enough to lie, but this matter was related to his life and death. Dean had pointed it out in front of his face. It was a kind of shock for him!
In the next second, he reacted and said with a bitter face, "Sir, I really didn't kill them. If I did, I would definitely report it to you. Please believe in my loyalty!"
Dean stared at him for a moment, then retracted his eyes again: "I believe you. It was just a joke. Don't take it to heart."
Pluto cursed in his heart: "Joke? Who is joking with you? " Although he was angry but he was basically sure that the person in front of him was absolutely the genius Dean!
Moreover, he was 100% sure that Dean was brought into the inner wall from the moment he took up the position of elder of the ninth region.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel shocked. He didn't expect a genius in Divine Incantations to grow to such a terrifying degree. Especially his strength, it was even more terrifying than his own attainments in Divine Incantations! However, he admired himself. Fortunately, he was quick enough to react. He wasn't greedy or he would have been killed by now!
"But why would he ask about me? Could it be that I've been exposed? " Pluto calmed down as he secretly pondered. He decided that the first thing he would do after going back was to kill all the people who knew about the incident. That included his trusted confidant and secretary.
"That's all for today. You can disperse. In the future, there will be no ranking in the twelve districts. Just do your job." Dudian indifferently said.
Everyone looked at each other and respectfully said: "Subordinates will retire."
Dudian looked at Sword King: "Go and tell the people above to not make too much noise."
Sword King immediately replied: "Yes, subordinate will go." With that said, he leaped up and climbed up the pillar of the hall with his bare hands. He quickly leaped up the hole in the dome and communicated with the Philan family's higher-ups who had gathered outside.
Dean quietly sat on the chair, gently rubbing his fingers. He seemed to be thinking about something, but also seemed to be waiting for something.
The rest of the people left the hall with their men.
Pluto didn't dare to fall behind. He looked at Dean and whispered: "Subordinate will also retire."
Dean was still looking at the table that was crushed by the boulder. His expression didn't change as he heard Pluto's words: "You stay. As the deputy speaker I have something to tell you."
Pluto was startled. He respectfully replied: "Yes."
The rest of the people retreated after a moment.
There was only Dean, Pluto and his men in the hall.
Cold wind poured in through the hole in the dome, blowing the dust on the ground. The air was silent.
Pluto was nervous as he looked at Dean. He wanted to speak but he was afraid to disturb Dean so he held back.
Dean slowly recovered after a long time. He looked at Pluto: "Come with me. I'll take you to a place."
Pluto was startled: "Yes."
Dean jumped straight to the edge of the hole in the dome. He raised his hand and made a few rhythmic snaps. A slender figure jumped up from the bottom of the hall and quietly stood beside him.
Dean took her hand and slowly moved forward.
The soldiers of the Philan Family that surrounded the area had long since retreated. There was no one around, only blood stains on the ground. This was the result of the previous attack.
Sergei, Pluto and the others had also arrived by the time Dean arrived at the entrance of the Philan family. Dean sat in the carriage and ordered to set off.
Pluto also sat in his own carriage. He led his guards to follow behind Dean's carriage.
The night was as cold as water and silent.
At the moment the curfew was over. There was no one on the streets except for the patrolling soldiers and carriages of the nobles.
Dean's carriage gradually came to the suburbs. It was getting farther and farther away from the bustling streets.
Pluto's face changed as he saw the remote road. He didn't know where Dean was taking him. Was it his secret stronghold?
The carriage stopped in front of the woods after two hours.
Sergei, Glenn, Gwyneth and others were puzzled as they looked around. They didn't know where this place was as they had never heard Dean mention it before.
Gabriel looked at the carriage behind the curtain: "Master, we have arrived at the place you told us about."
Dean lifted the curtain and looked at the carriage. There was a deep pain in his eyes. He slowly got off the carriage and said to Pluto: "Come down."
Pluto had been paying attention to the surroundings along the way. He was puzzled as he saw this strange and remote place. There was a sense of danger in his heart. His intuition told him that he should escape immediately. But he resisted the impulse as he thought of Dean's amazing speed and strength. He got off the carriage and respectfully asked: "Elder, where are we?"
"This is the cemetery of my adoptive parents, Gray and Jura, and another child they adopted." Dudian slowly said. His voice was emotionless, as cold as the cold wind.
Pluto's pupils shrank as he heard Dean's words. He didn't expect Dean to admit it. Moreover … This was the cemetery of his adoptive parents?!
After recovering from his shock, he suddenly turned around and ran!
Dean's figure flashed and appeared in front of Pluto: "Where are you going?"
Pluto braked and abruptly stopped his body. At the same time, he pulled out the machete from his waist and stabbed towards Dean's throat.
Dean pinched Pluto's wrist and gently twisted it. Crack! The sound of bones breaking echoed as Pluto's wrist was bent in a ninety-degree position.
Pluto was in unbearable pain. But at the moment of life and death, he didn't care so much. He quickly punched and spat out something.
Dean seemed to have expected it. He tilted his head and dodged a small black object that was shot out from the man's mouth. At the same time, he grabbed the man's fist and twisted it again. Kacha! The man's hand was broken.
Dean squeezed his hands and looked at him indifferently: "Are you wondering why I know that you killed them?"
