It was as if an electric current had hit the top of Hood's head in an instant. A trembling numbness spread throughout his body, causing him to stop in his tracks.
The moment their eyes met, a thought suddenly popped up in Hood's mind.
It's him!
Through the crowd of onlookers, the vice president named Andrew was still very eye-catching even though he was standing in the corner.
Firstly, Andrew was a playboy when he was young. Even though he was old now, his appearance was still eye-catching enough. He stood out among the Truth Society's scholars who generally did not pay much attention to their appearances.
Secondly, it was because of that inexplicable feeling that made Hood meet his eyes immediately.
In Andrew's deep blue eyes, the moment they met, a faint halo that emitted a faint light appeared. It was as if it contained endless wisdom. This halo made people feel an inexplicable sense of awe and fear.
If an ordinary person was looked at by Andrew, there was a high chance that they would be so scared that their legs would go limp, fainted, and hallucinate. If they encountered someone with a weak will, they might even lose control of their bowels and go crazy.
Although it might be insignificant to an existence at Boss Lin's level, this was the effect of the mystery of a peak Panic Grade superhuman.
Just standing there was enough to "kill" people.
However, Hood felt that the eye on his forehead was emitting a boiling heat. It seemed to be throbbing as if it was responding to the other party. Remember the website: m.9biquge.com.
This was an instinctive feeling. It was as if the other party was loudly telling him that the other party was one of their own. There was no need to doubt it at all.
The other party was also a believer of the Lord!
Joy surged in Hood's heart. The feeling of "meeting an old friend in a foreign land" made him very excited.
In the past, although Hood knew Andrew, he did not have a good impression of this guy.
First of all, Andrew was not a member of the "Only Knowers". In fact, he despised and despised the "Only Knowers". He had repeatedly given public speeches that they were too extreme.
Of course, such people were the majority in the Truth Society. Even Hood's aunt, Maria, did not support the "Only Knowers".
Hood's original intention of joining the "Only Knowers" was not necessarily to agree with their ideals. It was only because of the rebellion of his youth … He wanted to do something different and unique. It was that simple.
But after staying for a long time, he blended into this extreme atmosphere.
Secondly, Andrew was a noble male who always paid attention to his appearance and demeanor. He was always gorgeous and elegant.
For an extreme and hot-blooded youth like Hu De, it was simply a synonym for "greasy", so he naturally rejected it.
But now, he only had one thought.
"I met a comrade!"
Furthermore, Hood had just been thinking that he needed a sufficiently strong and charismatic person to support the development of the Solipsistic Faction.
In the next second, the person who met the conditions appeared in front of him.
Moreover, he happened to be a believer of the bookstore.
This was definitely not a coincidence. This had to be the arrangement of the bookstore owner. This was the will of the great Lord!
On the other side, Andrew had the same feeling.
He never thought that Hood had already become a believer of the bookstore!
Previously, he had always treated the bookstore as an enemy. Not long after he leaked the news to the Know-Nothings and instigated them to go to the bookstore to "snatch" knowledge, he suffered the greatest defeat of his life …
He was stripped of his power, monitored, and placed under house arrest. Everything was turned upside down in an instant. He had been enduring and waiting for the right opportunity. He also understood how powerful the bookstore was and wanted to salvage some of it.
However, the order to stop the Know-Nothings from taking action wasn't issued due to Zerom's interference.
During that period of time, he was extremely depressed and was in a terrible fix. He only heard that the Know-Nothings led by Hu De had returned. They were fine, so he didn't bother about them anymore.
It was said that they had become a little strange and often muttered to themselves. There were also some conflicts within the Know-Nothings.
He originally thought that they would definitely be taught a lesson by the bookstore owner when they went to the bookstore with the intention of snatching knowledge. He didn't expect them to become believers of the bookstore!
Crossing the crowd, the two of them, who were also fans of the bookstore, seemed to have found an organization.
But now isn't the time …
This thought flashed through Andrew's mind. Now that he had found the mole, he finally had the chance to turn the tables. Not long ago, he had cleared his name and even mocked Damon, forcefully taking over the investigation of this matter.
He still needed some time to regain his prestige.
At this time, the two of them, who had no interaction before, suddenly acted very close. It might give others a reason to criticize them, especially Damon. He might use this as a pretext to make a fuss and come up with some other tricks.
At the very least, it couldn't be done in public.
In this short moment of looking at each other, the two of them seemed to understand each other's intentions.
Hu De pressed his forehead and blinked his eyes between his fingers. Then, he grinned and slowly retreated, disappearing into the crowd.
Seeing this, Andrew turned his head and said a few words to the others, asking them to disperse the crowd. He ordered someone to guard the door, walked into the room, and closed the door.
Creak … Bang.
Andrew sized up the entire room for a while. There was nothing unusual about this office. It had ordinary tables, chairs, and bookshelves, a leather sofa in the same style, a smooth marble floor, and a white carpet.
There was no blood on the floor or carpet. There was an outline drawn on the ground next to it. That was where Zerom's skin had been.
The sparkling and translucent Philosopher's Stone was perfectly placed on the desk.
Judging from the scene, it was as if Zerom's neck had been broken in an instant. Then, his life force returned to its original state, and he was made into the Philosopher's Stone.
— — That's right, the raw material of the Philosopher's Stone was Zerom.
This was the reason why people were terrified.
The person who did this didn't care about Zerom. This office wasn't the scene of the crime. Zerom's skin and the Philosopher's Stone were all done casually. Maybe it was because he lacked a material for an experiment, so he directly used Zerom as a material to refine the Philosopher's Stone.
Andrew recalled that the owner of the bookstore told him to "call Zerom over to talk about the compensation for this door." He understood almost immediately.
What he meant was that he wanted Zerom to be the compensation himself!
That was why he called the bookstore immediately and said that he would bring the Philosopher's Stone over.
This was the will of the owner of the bookstore!
Now that Andrew wanted to regain his footing, he needed to establish a new faction that he could trust. Most of his previous subordinates had been disbanded, so he needed to establish a new faction that could be trusted.
And now, Hood brought the "Know-It-All Faction" to him — —
Boss Lin, you've already made all the necessary arrangements!
"Hey."
Hood's voice sounded from behind Andrew. He turned around and saw the young man remove the window bars and jump down from the vent of Zerom's office with a bright smile.
"Vice President Andrew, I think we can talk now."
Andrew reached out his hand and looked at the rotating third eye on Hood's forehead. He smiled meaningfully and said, "Yes, we can talk about how to offer the Truth Society to our great Lord …"
