Xiao Jin suddenly said, "My adopted son died in your hands."
Han Xiaoxin was moved and said, "This is a private matter, Chief Xiao. Let's talk about it in private."
"Sure." Xiao Jin nodded.
Everyone's eyes flickered. Black Phantom's answer to the same thing was completely different …
Delot showed dissatisfaction but did not say anything.
Han Xiao turned to Delot and said, "It's getting late, do you mind if I stay for the night?"
"Xiao Jin, you entertain him. Dismissed." Delot suddenly stood up and walked away.
Everyone walked past Han Xiao with different expressions.
An Asian man walked over and smiled. "My name is Xiao Ming, Chief Xiao's adopted son. I'm in charge of your living arrangements, please follow me."
Han Xiao looked around. Ummil, who had brought him here, was nowhere to be found. He thought to himself, Overmera's internal conflicts are very serious.
Thinking about it, the undercurrent in the hall was the best evidence.
With a lot on his mind, Han Xiao walked out of the hall and suddenly saw a dozen players surrounding him. They were all from the Bamboo Rain Guild. With excited expressions, Bamboo Rain Xuan turned on the recording function.
"We want to learn skills …" Bamboo Rain Xuan said.
Han Xiao naturally would not reject the opportunity to earn EXP. He opened the skill tab.
Xiao Ming beside him asked in surprise, "You know them?"
He shook his head.
"Black Phantom seems to be very popular among the Inhumans." The Overmera members passing by noticed this and were shocked.
The Bamboo Rain Guild wanted to try to trigger a mission, but Han Xiao did not interact with them. He stopped for a few seconds and walked away.
"It's a sudden storyline, but there's no mission." Flying Bamboo Rain was confused.
Bamboo Rain Xuan said, "The material I recorded doesn't seem to have any explosive points."
…
Xiao Ming arranged a room for him. Although Han Xiao's attitude during the day made many of the upper echelons angry, it also explained the origin of the hostility, so the atmosphere was not as tense as before.
Night time.
In the name of discussing compensation, Xiao Jin invited Han Xiao to his mansion as a guest.
When he arrived, Han Xiao realized that Xiao Jin's children were all there, including Xiao Hai and some other siblings. However, Xiao Jin's adopted son was not there.
In private, Xiao Jin was as expressionless and unpredictable as he was during the day.
Han Xiao sized up Xiao Jin and his children. These people were also sizing him up.
"What kind of compensation do you want?" Han Xiao retracted his gaze and smiled faintly.
"It's his bad luck that he died." Xiao Jin's expression was indifferent. To him, an adopted son was just an assistant and a tool.
"Then why did you invite me?" Han Xiao raised his eyebrows.
"There's no harm in getting to know a famous assassin."
Han Xiao could not understand Xiao Jin's intentions. Maybe it was just to get to know him, or maybe there was another purpose. However, he was interested in interacting more with the original owner's family to get some information.
The few of them chatted casually, and the topics were all over the place. Xiao Hai and the other siblings chimed in from time to time, and the atmosphere was harmonious. Xiao Hai was the leader of the siblings. The other siblings' words were somewhat respectful, but Xiao Hai's attitude was indifferent, as if it was natural.
Unknowingly, they had chatted for more than an hour. Han Xiao frowned slightly and suddenly said, "I'm very interested in Xiao Han. Why don't you tell me more about him?"
"…"
The atmosphere suddenly became cold. Xiao Jin put down the cup and slowly said, "He's my son. He's always been very incompetent. I didn't expect him to become a wanted criminal of the Germinal Organization."
Xiao Hai snorted. "I thought he was dead for sure. A scourge lives for a thousand years, only causing trouble for us."
Han Xiao pointed at himself. "Are you saying that I'm trouble?"
Xiao Hai sneered. "Are you not?"
Xiao Jin coughed and ordered him to leave. "It's getting late."
"It is quite late." Han Xiao stood up and left.
Xiao Ming brought him back to the room. When he entered the door, he passed a document to him and said, "This is Xiao Han's information. Father told me to give it to you."
Han Xiao nodded.
As soon as he entered the room, he immediately checked the room thoroughly. Before he left, there were three surveillance cameras, and now there was one more. He shook his head and continued to use the program to crack it. After doing all this, he flipped through the file and had a deeper understanding of the original body. He was an insignificant character, and he had never heard of this NPC 'Xiao Han' in his previous life.
"Sigh."
Han Xiao shook his head. The purpose of contacting Overmera was to understand the original body, and his goal had been achieved. He did not care about Overmera's attitude and structure because it had nothing to do with him. As for the so-called hostility, it was just to show that he was tough.
Originally, Overmera did not want to be enemies with Han Xiao. Han Xiao only killed people in their headquarters because he had nothing better to do. It was not good to have an enemy for no reason.
It was not good to fight and kill every day. It was better to grow flowers and plants.
"I wonder how the people of Overmera will react when they know that I am 'Xiao Han'." He had a wicked thought.
He put away the file, lay on the bed, and closed his eyes to rest. He planned to leave in the morning.
… …
Midnight.
Delot's mansion.
"It's all because of that bastard Xiao Jin that Overmera was involved in this unfortunate matter. That bastard has no scruples about expanding his influence. He obviously wants to seize power. Hmph, Northern School is my people. Se Qi's Red Island Faction has always been neutral. What does he have to fight with me?" Delot gritted his teeth.
When the Alumera Family was first established, they were very harmonious internally, but when their influence snowballed, conflicts started to appear. They were not worried about the scarcity, but the imbalance. The Home Faction was the one in charge, so they gained the most benefits and were at the center of the storm. Although all the factions seemed to be obedient on the surface, they all had ulterior motives and wanted to seize power.
Fortunately, after so many years of cooperation, they did not dare to make too big of a move. It was unlikely that there would be bloodshed. Even if there was, it would be secretly planned.
Xiao Jin was the biggest threat. Delot secretly sent people to attack Xiao Jin in order to get rid of Xiao Jin's successor. Unfortunately, they failed and only killed an insignificant Xiao Han.
However, more than a year later, Xiao Han, who did not care about anyone at that time, actually became a wanted criminal of the Germinal Organization and brought a terrifying enemy like Black Phantom to the family.
Now that Delot thought about it, he regretted it.
At this time, Delot's son, Lagos, walked in and said, "Father, Black Phantom left Xiao Jin's mansion and met for one hour and thirty-seven minutes."
"Hmph, meeting Black Phantom in private without me, Xiao Jin is getting bolder and bolder." Delot was furious.
"What do we do? Do we just let Black Phantom leave?"
"Don't mess with him."
"But he dares to be so arrogant in our territory …" Lagos was indignant.
"I said don't touch him!" Delot slammed the table and roared, "Get out!"
Lagos clenched his teeth, closed the door, and walked out. The moment he turned around, his face became gloomy.
…
At dawn, a commotion woke up Han Xiao, who was in a light sleep.
He jumped up from his bed and looked out the window. He saw the Alumera members yelling and shouting as they ran in a certain direction.
"What happened?" Han Xiao was confused.
Footsteps approached quickly, and dozens of soldiers surrounded the room with guns.
A captain yelled, "Black Phantom, don't move!"
The soldiers' mission was to control him, and they looked nervous. They could fire at any time. Han Xiao saw more people running in another direction.
Looks like something happened, and it's not targeting me. Han Xiao narrowed his eyes and observed.
After a while, the captain seemed to have received an order and yelled, "Come with us!"
Han Xiao also wanted to know what happened, so he followed the nervous soldiers to Delot's mansion.
At this time, the crowd was so crowded that not even a drop of water could pass through. The leaders of the various factions were all there, and they all looked at Han Xiao with fear and anger. This made him confused.
After walking into the mansion, Han Xiao finally knew what had happened.
In the office, Delot was sitting on the chair with his head up. There was a deep bullet hole in his left eye, and there was a cavity at the back of his head. There was a pool of blood on the wooden floor, and the smell of blood was pungent. The corpse's hands were dangling, and his legs were supporting him under the table.
The leader of Overmera was assassinated!
"Cause of death, gunshot wound. The bullet entered through the eye, went through the brain, and pierced through the back of the head. He died on the spot. From the caliber of the bullet, the murderer used a large caliber pistol. The leader did not show any signs of resistance, and the clues scattered at the scene did not show that the murderer was here …"
Han Xiao suddenly understood why the others were looking at him that way.
Darryl had died last night, and as an uninvited killer, he was obviously the most suspicious. Furthermore, the weapon used by the murderer was also a large caliber pistol. His assassination method was very similar to that of a "ghost" like him.
Everything was too coincidental.
This was a premeditated framing!
