Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem There was a cemetery on a hill 30 km away. After knowing that Angel and the other girls were buried here, Zhang Tie walked out of the north gate of Blackhot City on the morning of January 7th and came to this cemetery alone in the cold wind.
Knowing that Angel and Sharapova were close sisters at school, their families buried the girls together so that they would not be lonely.
The snow outside the city was very thick. Each time Zhang Tie stepped on it, the snow would reach his knees. In a windbreaker, it took Zhang Tie 2 hours to walk here from Blackhot City.
The five new graves were very eye-catching. It didn't take Zhang Tie too long to come to the front of the five graves. A layer of pure white snow covered the five tombstones. Zhang Tie took off his gloves and swept the snow off the tombstones, revealing the photos of the five girls.
The photos were black and white.
In the black and white photo, Angel's brilliant golden hair, Sharapova's beautiful face, Niya's beautiful eyes, Hiltina's infatuation with him and Mia's lovely dimples appeared in front of Zhang Tie's eyes once again.
It felt like yesterday that Zhang Tie stayed with these lovely girls. However, they were lying on the icy ground now.
This was the so-called parting between life and death.
Hot liquid flew out of Zhang Tie's eyes and dripped onto the icy tombstones along his face.
When no more tears flowed out, Zhang Tie lowered his body and kissed each girl's tombstone tenderly. After that, he turned around and left.
After leaving here, Zhang Tie returned to Blackhot City step by step. At the sight of the city gate of Blackhot City, Zhang Tie didn't enter the city; instead, he bypassed the north gate of Blackhot City and walked towards the south.
...
In such a cold day, the animal trading market in the south of Blackhot City also became desolate. Very few people could be seen there. By contrast, Master Abyan's manor outside the city looked more magnificent and beautiful than that one year ago. Because the former castle could not match Master Abyan's current status.
Last year, Master Abyan promoted once again from a red robe pharmacist to an orange robe pharmacist. As a result, he immediately stood on the brilliant 6th level of the world of pharmacists and became the most famous figure in Blackhot City.
At this moment, Master Abyan. He had already joined the Norman Empire and become one of the vice presidents of the Pharmacists Union of Brunswick Province of the Norman Empire. His reputation had even spread to Nordinburg, the capital of the northern border of the Norman Empire. These days, Master Abyan had been invited by the Pharmacists Union of Nordinburg. He was a guest in Nordinburg, and it was said that he would be back in a few days.
In a hierarchical country like the Norman Empire, an orange-robe pharmacist who joined the Norman Empire was enough for Master Abyan to become a senior aristocrat in the entire Blackhot City and have a great influence in many aspects. In some aspects, Master Abyan was even more influential than Colonel Leibniz. At least for Colonel Leibniz, Nordinburg was not a place where he could go as he pleased. Undoubtedly, an orange-robe pharmacist was more favored by some big figures in Nordinburg than a colonel.
Therefore, with the great influence of Master Abyan, the death of Angel and the other girls was finally forgotten. Everything was attributed to an accident. As assistants of an orange-robe pharmacist, they accidentally touched some fatal things in the warehouse of a pharmacist who had various poisonous animals and fierce beasts. As a result, they died. It was really a "trivial matter". After compensating some gold coins to the families of the girls, they just let it go.
In the eyes of Master Abyan, the death of Angel and the other girls was not a big deal. Of course, Angel and the other girls were not killed by an accident; instead, they were murdered.
Because when Susan and Fiona saw the corpses of Angel and the other girls, they all had some weird scars.
When Susan and Fiona saw the bodies of Angel and the others, they all had some strange scars on their bodies. The wounds didn't seem to be caused by wild beasts; instead, they seemed to be caused by humans. Additionally, the girls' blood seemed to have been drained. Angel's right hand was still tightly clenched. After Susan and Fiona spent a lot of effort to pry open Angel's fingers with tears, they took out the item in her palm. It was the finger ring that Zhang Tie gifted to her.
According to the very private and popular "rule" among the girls of Rose Association, if a girl took off the jewellery gifted by a boy and threw it away immediately, it meant that the two of them would never meet each other again; however, if she still kept it, it meant that she had to return it to the boy.
If Angel had encountered an accident, she would have thought of saving herself instead of returning the finger ring to him at the critical moment. Because Zhang Tie was not on the spot at that time and it was unnecessary for her to do so. Therefore, Angel took off the finger ring and held it in her hand so that the other girls of Rose Association who saw her could return the finger ring to him. Through this action, Angel told him that she was still alive and conscious when she took off the finger ring; however, she had already known that she could not see him alive anymore. Because she had already foreseen her fate.
This was what Angel wanted to tell Zhang Tie. If she encountered an accident, Angel would not do this. By doing this, she wanted to tell Zhang Tie how she died.
Angel was a smart and proud girl. When the other girls couldn't think of doing so, or were already unable to do so, she did it. She held the ring on her finger tightly in her palm, leaving herself the most crucial message.
Who caused those girls to die miserably?
The answer was very obvious, besides Master Abyan, there was no one else who could do that.
If Master Abyan was an idiot or had already lost his control over his castle, perhaps someone in the castle dared to kill his female assistants and five girls at the same time. The problem was that Master Abyan was not an idiot. As a young and vigorous pharmacist who had promoted to one of the vice presidents of the Pharmacists Association of Brunswick Province of Norman Empire, it was impossible for him to lose his control over his lair in Blackhot City. In Blackhot City, Zhang Tie had long heard about Master Abyan's strict reputation. Therefore, the murderer could only be Master Abyan. If it was someone else, Master Abyan would not deal with it easily using his influence.
Standing on the hillside, Zhang Tie watched the more magnificent castle manor of Master Abyan while his eyes were filled with icy death qi.
After imprinting each detail of that castle and manor in his mind, Zhang Tie took a deep breath and closed his eyes. After half a minute, Zhang Tie opened his eyes. After scooping a handful of snow from the ground, he rubbed it on his face. After that, he turned around and left without looking back.
...
Twenty minutes later, on a street in Blackhot City, Zhang Tie got into the exclusive car that was allocated for him by Black Gold Hotel. After entering the car, Zhang Tie closed the door with a "bang". After recovering his composure, he sorted out what he had to do.
Go to Gregory Avenue! "After confirming what he was going to do today, Zhang Tie told the driver to start the car.
...
Gregory Avenue was named after the Gregory Clan of the Coal, Steel, and Iron Federation which once ruled Blackhot City. According to the legend of Blackhot City, this avenue was called Gregory Avenue because over half of the houses and shops on this avenue belonged to the Gregory Clan.
Of course, Zhang Tie was not here to do anything related to the Gregory Clan, but something more important for Zhang Tie.
The car parked outside a post office on Gregory Avenue. After glancing at the signboard "Bionne Clinic" on the opposite side of the avenue, Zhang Tie got off the car and crossed the road towards that clinic.
The gate of the clinic was below that signboard. As it was cold and the new year had just passed, there were very few people in the clinic in the early morning. A young nurse in nurse uniform was standing behind the service desk. Not until Zhang Tie walked to the front of the service desk did the nurse notice that someone had entered. She hurriedly raised her head and put away her bag of snacks.
"Ah, sir, do you need to see a doctor?" the slightly fat, round-faced nurse asked Zhang Tie.
"I don't need to see a doctor, I want to see Doctor Bionne!"
"Do you have an appointment with Doctor Bionne?"
"I don't need an appointment!" Zhang Tie revealed a smile as he showed his special pass of the Ministry of Supervision of Iron-Horn Army to the nurse.
The special pass of the Ministry of Supervision of Iron-Horn Army was the ID certificate of officers of the Ministry of Supervision when executing tasks. In Blackhot City which had just been conquered by Norman Empire by force, the pass of a powerful military department was a great deterrent to commoners. At the sight of the pass in Zhang Tie's hand, the nurse's face changed at once.
"Ah... I will take you there right now..." The nurse hurriedly walked out from behind the service desk and led Zhang Tie to a room inside the clinic.
This clinic was not large, just over 200 square meters. After passing through the service desk, a pharmacy and a consulting room, the nurse led Zhang Tie to a room and knocked on the door.
"Please come in..." a voice drifted from inside the door.
