Kieran looked at the half-kneeling J. Perelman in shock.
His face was blurred out by the system but his eyes were dim and lifeless, as if his soul was sucked out, allowing the outer members of Freedom Alliance to curse and kick him.
Meanwhile, four players with powerful auras, who were obviously Advanced Rankers, watched the scene from the sidelines.
They didn't stop the outer members.
Neither did they join in.
Kieran saw confusion in their eyes.
No doubt, the four high-rankers and official members of Freedom Alliance still retained a shred of sanity.
Their sanity didn't make them impulsive.
It allowed them to look at J. Perelman objectively.
They also maintained proper manners when they saw Kieran.
"Hon. 2567."
The tallest of the four, the high-ranker with a two-handed sword on his back, greeted Kieran on behalf of the four of them.
"Em."
Kieran nodded and looked at J. Perelman.
"The Fisherman killed the leader. He said it himself."
We don't know what happened, but someone heard the Fisherman and the leader arguing. "
The high-ranker obviously knew what Kieran wanted to ask, so he answered right away.
"He said it himself?"
Kieran asked.
"Yes, he said it himself."
The high-ranker nodded and the others followed suit.
"A few of us heard the argument between J. Perelman and Lord Amilian."
"Although we didn't hear it clearly, they were arguing fiercely."
"Then, we heard Lord Amilian's agonizing scream."
"When a few of us rushed over, we saw Lord Amilian disappearing into white light and J. Perelman standing there in a daze."
"He said to himself," I have killed you! "" Yes, I have! "
Several other sentries from the outer circle walked over to add on.
Kieran slightly frowned.
Based on the description of the sentries, J. Perelman was obviously the murderer.
But it was just what the sentries said.
Kieran believed in himself more. He looked down at J. Perelman, who seemed to have lost his soul.
"J. Perelman, did you kill Amelia?"
Facing Kieran's question, J. Perelman didn't say a word, as though he had admitted it.
This made the surrounding outer circle members even angrier.
"Kill him!"
"Kill this traitor!"
"Avenge Lord Amelia!"
It was obvious that they had a strong sense of belonging to the Freedom Alliance, and they also respected their late leader.
When people are isolated and helpless, they will always feel fear.
However, when there were a lot of people, this fear would vanish, and all of it would turn into 'courage'.
One of the sentries suddenly drew his sword and slashed at J. Pearlman's neck.
Then …
The other party froze on the spot.
It was not frozen.
Instead, he was enveloped by Kieran's killing intent.
Under the gaze of the Dark Sentinel who had slaughtered tens of thousands of lives, the Dark Sentinel, whose strength surpassed that of ordinary players, was trembling and sweating profusely.
In the end —
Pa!
The sword in his hand fell to the ground.
As though it was an order, when the sword fell to the ground, the Dark Sentinel fell limp on the ground, panting heavily. Then, he completely lost his ability to fight.
The Freedom Alliance members had heard of 2567's name before.
Whether it was the Unique Title acknowledged by the system, Blade of the Daybreaker, or the Flame Emperor, Flaming Devil, and Flame Emperor among the players, or the Treasure Hunter, as long as one wasn't a newbie or a newbie, they would know what it meant.
However, they never thought a single gaze from 2567 would make a veteran player lose his ability to fight.
Horrifying!
That's right, horrifying!
The fear that far exceeded shock rose in the hearts of the Freedom Alliance members.
They couldn't understand the scene.
Kieran, of course, knew what was going on.
Following his Spirit reaching rank V-, some mystical changes happened to his body. It wasn't just the flame that burned Chaos in his mind, but also his body.
It wasn't just the formless energy that commoners viewed as getting scarier, his sight and hearing were slowly improving. His body was getting more coordinated and tenacious. Although he didn't increase any of those attributes, the feeling was still clear.
Kieran was quite happy to see it happen.
He had a general idea why it happened.
Replenishment!
When one's Spirit reached a certain level, it would replenish the body.
It could also be considered as the replenishment from the soul to the body.
Of course, the replenishment from the soul was not as fast or as safe as using Golden Attribute Points.
Kieran knew what it felt like to burst.
He didn't want to end up like that.
Therefore, the plan to increase his strength from now on would focus on his Constitution.
However, all these were Kieran's secrets.
He didn't even tell Starbeck, how could the others?
The unknown and the mysterious.
They were like a pair of intimate lovers.
In the end, they would only be born out of fear.
The Freedom Alliance members were shocked, especially when they saw Kieran's calm gaze. Each and every one of them lost their heads in panic.
They felt like they saw a black shadow burst out from Kieran's body, as if it was going to cover the sky and land on their heads.
Then …
It stretched its limbs out.
The pitch-black limbs, claws, and fangs rubbed against the air, producing sizzling noises. After a slight shake of its gigantic head, the monster without a face threw itself at them with a giant black mouth.
Bloody, pungent!
Gloomy, bone-chilling!
The giant mouth felt like it could devour all of them if it opened and closed its mouth.
"Aaaargh!"
"Aaaargh!"
The outer circle members retreated in fear.
The official members tensed up as if they were facing a formidable foe.
But at the next moment, the faceless monster vanished.
All that was left was Kieran, who grabbed J. Pearlman and left.
"Hon. 2567!
Judging from how vigilant Boss Amilian is, J. Pearlman is the first suspect! "
It was still the tall high-ranker.
After some hesitation, the tall high-ranker clenched his teeth and shouted at Kieran's back.
The tall high-ranker had to say something.
Otherwise, Freedom Alliance would be finished.
An organization that lost its will would only crumble.
However, the tall high-ranker knew if he said anything threatening, Freedom Alliance would become a thing of the past before it even crumbled.
The Flaming Devil …
It was too scary!
Therefore, the tall high-ranker tried to use a gentle tone to remind Kieran of J. Pearlman's identity.
It could only be a reminder.
It couldn't be anything else.
Despite that, the tall high-ranker mustered all his courage to say it.
As for Kieran?
He seemed to have heard it.
He didn't seem to have heard it either.
Kieran didn't even pause as he strode away.
Until Kieran left, the tall high-ranker finally heaved a breath of relief. Then, a series of exhalations sounded in his ears.
The tall high-ranker looked left and right.
He couldn't help but show a bitter smile.
The tall high-ranker knew even if he tried his best to salvage the situation.
It wouldn't be of much use.
Freedom Alliance might very well become a thing of the past.
As for finding another way to salvage the situation?
Somehow, the tall high-ranker thought of that black, giant faceless monster.
His body couldn't help but shiver.
Then, he threw that thought out of his mind.
…
"Is there a problem?"
Kieran asked Rachel while standing in the alleyway outside the secret passage of Harvest Inn.
Rachel didn't answer, all she did was carefully check on J. Pearlman.
Around five to six minutes later, Rachel raised her head.
"It feels like a curse.
"But it doesn't seem like it."
I'm not an expert in this field, so I can't tell. "
Rachel replied.
"Is there anyone reliable?"
Kieran asked.
"Yes.
But he can't enter Harvest Inn. "
Rachel nodded in an affirmative manner before pointing at J. Pearlman.
Kieran didn't have any intention to argue.
If it was him, he wouldn't allow a person with a strange 'thing' on him, like a ticking time bomb, into his room either.
"Are you sure this thing is directed at you?"
Rachel crossed her arms and asked.
"Most likely!"
The appearance of the Guardians is too much of a coincidence. If it wasn't for some other matters, I would have killed the Prifen Brothers.
Then, what do you think will happen? "
Kieran asked.
"A big battle!
A fisherman reaping the benefits! "
Rachel said in a concise and comprehensive manner.
But right away, the lady owner frowned.
"This doesn't seem like that bastard Broker's doing.
It's too obvious and clumsy. "
"Em.
It's not that bastard. Although I thought it was that bastard at first, it's obvious that someone unexpected has joined the fray.
But if I were that bastard, I wouldn't mind adding fuel to the fire and making the situation more chaotic. "
Kieran then looked at J. Pearlman.
Amilian was a coward.
His previous performance was enough to explain everything, and killing a coward was many times more difficult than killing a brave person.
Because the former would never place himself in danger.
The latter?
If he didn't place himself in danger, how could he be praised as brave?
As for disguise?
Of course, it was a possibility.
But if Amilian was disguising himself, it would be even harder to kill him.
Since Amilian had spent so much effort to create an image, he would maintain it well and maintain a vigilant heart most of the time.
With such a premise, unless it was someone that Amilian trusted, how could he kill Amilian?
No matter how Kieran looked at it, J. Pearlman fit the bill perfectly.
But how could J. Perelman kill Amelia?
Given how honest the Fisherman was, no matter how bad Amilian's performance was, the Fisherman wouldn't make a move. At most, he would leave Freedom Alliance.
He might even give up some things because of Amilian.
Honest people were easy to bully.
Therefore, a lot of people liked to bully honest people.
Without paying any price, they could get some comfort in their mood or some actual benefits. It was perfect.
Who wouldn't be willing to do that?
"Could it really be J. Perelman's doing?"
Rachel was in deep thoughts.
Honest people were easy to bully, but there was a limit to them.
Once the limit was broken, some people would be sent to the Land of the Dead before they could even apologize.
"It's possible.
But I want to know what triggered it — why did that bastard do it? "
"A trap?
Or what? "
Kieran shook his head and told the truth.
Compared to why Amilian died, Kieran really didn't care.
What he cared about was the significance of this event.
Unfortunately, the only clue he had was J. Pearlman, who had lost his sanity.
"I'll hurry up and contact someone to cure him.
Consider it as me returning you a favor. "
Rachel seemed to understand what Kieran meant.
"I need someone I can trust.
"The curse dispeller thing only happened once, it's enough."
Kieran reminded Rachel.
"Don't worry.
I'm not an idiot like Lawless. "
Rachel said with a smile.
"I'll be looking forward to your good news."
Kieran then grabbed J. Pearlman and headed to a nearby house.
It was one of the spoils of war that he got from an Honor Kill.
In fact, Kieran had a lot of such spoils of war.
The only pity was …
Such spoils of war couldn't be a huge income like in real life.
Whenever he thought about such things, Kieran felt his chest tighten.
"Boss, I'll serve you wholeheartedly."
Bloody Mary stood in front of the house according to Kieran's wishes.
"Take care of him."
Kieran then tossed J. Pearlman to Bloody Mary.
"No problem."
Bloody Mary assured Kieran.
Kieran was quite at ease with the assurance.
Bloody Mary might nag a lot, but when it came to execution, it had nothing to say.
It also made Kieran have some thoughts.
"You can use some items, right?"
Kieran asked.
"Of course.
I'm very proficient in Mystical Knowledge. "
Bloody Mary seemed to have guessed something, its eyes shimmering as it looked at Kieran.
"Em.
Go teach Frost Wolf. "
Kieran ordered.
What?
Bloody Mary was stunned.
This wasn't what it expected.
Shouldn't the contractor grant it the right to use some items to increase its strength?
Why did it become teaching Frost Wolf?
Am I weaker than that wolf?
Impossible!
How could I be weaker than a wolf?
The contractor must have a deeper thought. Maybe this is a test?
Yes, it must be a test!
Watching Kieran leave, Bloody Mary was immersed in its own thoughts. Then, it saw Kieran pause his steps.
Bloody Mary straightened its body right away.
'I knew it!
What happened just now was a test!
Frost Wolf is just a bonus, I am the core! '
Bloody Mary was looking forward to it with confidence.
"Oh right.
If it's possible, try to teach Fire Raven as well. "
Kieran didn't even turn around before he vanished into thin air.
Bloody Mary was left standing on the spot, as if it was petrified.
A breeze blew, sweeping a few leaves over Bloody Mary's face.
