There was something wrong with Willis?!
Drexton's eyes widened, and he instinctively refused to believe it.
However, right away, Drexton started to doubt himself.
It was written on the paper: Bunder was one of Death Knell's men and many people could verify it.
Bunder was one of Death Knell's men?
There were many witnesses and Willis didn't realize it?
It wasn't normal!
Unless …
Doubt was the most tenacious seed in the world.
Once it was planted, it would grow unwaveringly and eventually fill the person's heart, causing the person to be paranoid and doubtful of everything.
More so, someone added fuel to the fire.
"Drexton.
"May I ask why you're late?"
"I've contacted you through Willis, but you're ten minutes later than the promised time!"
Colossal Arms who was beside Drexton suddenly asked after some hesitation.
"I came according to the time Willis told me …"
Drexton paused as he spoke.
Willis?
Willis!
It was related to Willis again!
Was there really something wrong with Willis?
Drexton took in a deep breath and said to Colossal Arms, "I'll verify it with Willis and give you an answer."
His words weren't just directed at Colossal Arms but Chief Pudder as well.
"Em."
Colossal Arms nodded.
Chief Pudder didn't object either.
The three of them wanted to leave the morgue but right at that moment, the door was pushed open.
"2567, why are you here?"
Drexton was stunned when he saw Kieran appear outside the door without a sound.
Colossal Arms frowned but didn't say anything.
Even the infamous Glutton Emperor couldn't pique Colossal Arms' interest since his confidence and career had just suffered a setback.
Chief Pudder waved his hand in a rather courteous manner.
"Good day, 2567."
But that was it.
He was just being courteous.
It seemed like he was still angry at Kieran for twisting words and forcing logic from before.
Kieran glanced over the three of them and curled his lips into a smile.
"Since everyone is here, I'll invite everyone for afternoon tea?
Don't reject.
"There are some things that I think you must know."
With that, Kieran walked out.
Drexton looked at Kieran who was pretending to be mysterious. Out of trust, he didn't ask anything and followed Kieran. Colossal Arms hesitated for a second before following.
Chief Pudder was no exception.
However, the chief officer asked as he walked.
"What is it?"
No answer.
Kieran didn't seem to hear it and continued to stride forward.
Soon, they left the station and the downtown area until they reached the vicinity of Smorewill Street.
Smorewill Street was quite famous in Alkender.
Of course, it was definitely not a good reputation.
Most of the robberies, robberies, and murders that happened in Alkender City were related to this place.
Many fugitives and criminals were hiding here.
There were both ordinary criminals and super criminals.
It was a place that ordinary people, police, and superheroes could not enter.
"2567, stop!"
"If you want to get rid of the bastards here, we need to have a proper discussion, not act recklessly!
This place isn't as safe as Printon City but it's still full of traps! "
Drexton looked at the street district that seemed to have nothing to do with Alkender City, his face turned sour right away.
Drexton had always wanted to get rid of Smorewill Street.
However, he couldn't!
Many criminals formed an alliance, turning Smorewill Street into a city within the city. It wasn't just self-sufficient, it had firepower that surpassed one's imagination.
Especially after Mr. Ghost, Death Knell, and Grudge Dragon publicly supported this place more than once, Smorewill Street became a lawless zone.
Although Mr. Ghost was killed, Death Knell and Grudge Dragon were still around, especially the supervillains that were hiding among them. They were not to be underestimated.
Ants could bite an elephant to death!
Or in other words, quantity could replace quality!
This kind of logic was applicable everywhere.
"Get rid of the bastards here?"
"No, no!
I just want to get rid of a certain bastard among us. "
Kieran shook his head with a smile and looked at Pudder. The latter raised a brow and pointed at himself, asking, "The bastard you are talking about, is it me?"
"Yes, it is you."
Kieran nodded seriously.
"Stop joking!
Why would I do that? "
Pudder couldn't help but growl angrily when he saw Kieran's serious expression.
"Why would you do that?
Maybe it's because of Mordin's sculpture.
Or maybe it's because of your original ambition.
Or maybe you are just trying to be happy. "
Kieran replied with a calm face.
"Happy?
Do I look like that kind of crazy person?
Or are you out of your mind, 2567?
I think you are the one who is influenced by Mordin's sculpture! "
Pudder scolded Kieran angrily.
It wasn't a secret that Kieran owned Mordin's sculpture, anyone who paid attention to the big events in Alkender City knew Kieran was searching for Mordin's sculpture.
Right away, Drexton and Colossal Arms looked at Kieran worriedly.
"Remember when we first met, you showed disgust towards the vigilantes?
But after that, you didn't just agree to work with me, you even appeared beside me from time to time. "
"That's right, you can say it's because of the justice and work in your heart, you have to do it.
But … "
"The justice and work in your heart wouldn't allow you to send men to steal your master's gold when he isn't at home right?"
Kieran ignored Drexton and Colossal Arms' gaze and stared straight at Pudder.
"That is Death Knell's men, what does it have to do with me?"
Pudder's expression didn't change as he asked.
"I know right!
Death Knell's men, the men who appeared in Bunder's house are Death Knell's men, the men who appeared in 17th Randletine Street are also Death Knell's men.
Because they all have a visible tattoo on their faces.
But it's just a tattoo. "
Kieran said.
"Someone is pretending to be Death Knell's men?"
Drexton asked as his expression changed.
"2567 said it's just a tattoo.
"It might be true, but it might also be false."
Just based on the tattoo, we can't be sure if it's the real Death Knell or someone pretending to be him! "
Pudder interrupted before Kieran could say anything.
"Yeah, the tattoo can't be sure.
But time can!
You are the only one who knows Ferris and I have left 17th Randletine Street!
If Death Knell really wanted that batch of gold, he wouldn't have sent two men to get it!
"You can also say that the two of them were scouting, but the traces I saw were the two of them pushing the door open and entering. In fact, you could have been more thorough, but something else affected you."
"Did it take you more effort to 'confuse' Willis?"
"Or is it because you are constantly taking in Mr. Ghost's men that you have no time to spare?"
Or was it the two Mordin statues that Bunder collected that affected your mind? "
"Of course!
I have more direct evidence! "
After a sigh, Kieran suddenly vanished on the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already behind Pudder, launching a kick at him along with the wind.
Pudder easily dodged the kick.
Right away, Drexton and Colossal Arms' face changed for the worse.
It was simple, Kieran's kick wasn't something a common man could dodge.
Pudder's figure flashed and reappeared a dozen meters away. He couldn't hold back his laughter when he saw Drexton, Colossal Arms, and Kieran's calm expression.
The kind that laughed out loud.
"Idiots! All of you are idiots!
I played you in the palm of my hand! "
Pudder glanced over Drexton and Colossal Arms before looking at Kieran. "Although you are a little smarter than them, you aren't that much smarter than them!"
"You talk too much bullsh * t!
So much that I can easily set up and deal with them.
"Now!"
The timing is just right!
Feel the fear of death! "
Pudder said as he raised his hand.
But …
Nothing happened.
Pudder was stunned before he raised his hand again.
"Feel the fear of death!"
Pudder shouted.
Still, nothing happened.
Unwilling to give up, Pudder tried again.
