Ding ding ding …
The saber gleams that filled the sky were all blocked by Bayun. The Centaur waved his arms, which were like two spears that shot out continuously, directly colliding with the sharp sabers.
"You don't have to do anything. She's coming for me …" Bayun said in a low voice.
Swinging his arms continuously, Bayun, who had recovered his strength, displayed his astonishing battle power. His arms were like cast iron, and the saber gleams only left white marks on them.
Hayashi River and his companions were astonished. The person who attacked was not weak. Even though the saber aura was far away, it still had a bone-piercing sharpness. It was at the level of realm six.
Before he was injured, Bayun's strength was not far from that of realm seven.
However, he had just recovered from his injuries, and his strength had not recovered to its peak. Yet, he was able to block such a strange saber attack with his pair of iron arms.
However, his companions frowned slightly. This saber attack was indeed strange. It came from all directions, as if dozens of people were attacking at the same time.
However, these auras clearly belonged to one person …
And in Hayashi River's perception, he could see saber gleams continuously bursting out from the body parts. Even with his knowledge, he had never seen such a strange saber technique.
Bang bang bang …
The saber gleams that filled the sky became increasingly sharp, and finally broke through Bayun's defense. His clothes were cut into strips, revealing his muscular upper body that was covered in scars.
At this moment, from the door at the end of the passageway, the woman's cold laughter sounded. "Bayun, you are still so arrogant. After so many years, your strength has not improved at all. You still want to block my saber array alone? "
As she spoke, the saber attack became several times fiercer. It was no longer a disorderly attack, but a spiral that swept everyone in.
This scene caused the eyes of Old Aidan and the rest to twitch. Previously, such a saber attack was not much of a threat to them.
But now, the situation was completely different. Once the saber attack formed a formation, it was no joke. It was equivalent to a group of realm six experts attacking together.
However, was such a strange saber technique really executed by one person?
"There's no other way, Centaur brat. Don't pity your old lover. She wants to kill you. This old man can only take action … "
Old Aidan let out a strange cry. He put on a pair of gauntlets and punched forward. The qi in the gauntlets kept expanding, forming two layers of shields in front of him.
Hai Wuya chuckled and let out a low cry. He flicked his fingers and a soft energy shot out, entangling with the saber aura and neutralizing the power within.
Fowler and Yu, on the other hand, stood in front of the harpoon and the little girl so that they would not be affected.
Hayashi River frowned slightly. He touched the special firearm on him and thought for a moment. Considering the relationship between Bayern and this person, he decided to give up on using it.
With a shake of his right hand, a chilling sword light poured out and spread to both sides.
The tide-like sword aura stretched out endlessly, coincidentally blocking the silent saber energy that attacked from both sides.
Ding ding ding …
A crisp sound rang out, and the woman at the end of the passage let out a cry of surprise. Then, the saber light instantly disappeared.
"Looks like the helpers you brought aren't weak … Come in …"
The light in the passage lit up again, and the voice spoke in a cold voice.
Bayern laughed dryly and led Hayashi River and the rest through the passage and into the large door.
Behind the door was a hall that covered an area of at least a thousand meters. Behind a silver-painted long table sat a tall and slender woman wearing a butterfly mask. She stared indifferently at the majestic group that walked in.
"Die 'er …" Bayern opened his mouth and squeezed out a smile.
Lin Chuan and the others shook their heads. No matter how they looked at it, Bayun's smile was the smile of a heartless man.
Bang!
A silver cup was viciously smashed into Bayern's head, and scarlet wine splashed all over his head.
The butterfly masked woman clenched her fists and shouted angrily, "You shameless thing, you still have the cheek to come and find me …"
At the side, Hayashi River and the rest had long sensed that something was amiss and hid to the side. Only Little White and Harpoon, who had not seen such a scene before, were close by and were drenched by the wine.
Seeing this, Harpoon hurriedly hid to the side and stood with his companions.
"I didn't come and find you for so many years because I had my difficulties."
Bayern smiled bitterly. "I was seriously injured all these years and have been recuperating. Not long ago, my injuries healed, and I immediately came to find you."
Back then, the secret experimental base in Shihaishan City was the Centaur Tribe's top secret. Even within the Centaur Tribe, not many people knew about it. Although Bayern had a special relationship with this woman, he did not tell her.
Hearing this, the butterfly masked woman sneered and mocked, "I guess you were also injured. Otherwise, how could a vicious person like you have disappeared all these years? You should have come out and stirred up trouble long ago."
"Die 'er, although I was a little flamboyant in the past, I'm not evil …" Bayern frowned and defended himself.
Bayoun frowned and tried to defend himself. He thought that this woman's reaction was due to her anger.
Seeing the atmosphere between the man and woman, the group of companions had the urge to sit at the side, grab some snacks, and watch the drama unfold.
Unfortunately, although the hall was luxuriously decorated, there were no snacks to be found. The Blue Kitty lay in the little girl's arms, nodding its little head. Its eyes were bright, looking forward to the drama unfolding in the television series.
At this moment, the woman spoke again, "In the Northern Lands, is there any scum more vicious than you? Back then, you were bold enough to rape and kill Princess Hazel of the Northern Royal Family, her maid, and General Radcliffe's only daughter … "
"You still dare to come and find me after committing such a heinous crime?! Do you really think that I won't report you since I'm so in love with you? "
What the heck?!
Hayashi River and the rest were dumbfounded and looked at Bayern. No wonder this fellow was wanted. He had actually committed such a serious crime.
No wonder the wanted order was top secret. This involved the Northern Royal Family and the Centaur Army's long-standing alliance. If it was leaked, the Sea-Ao Empire's royal family would be overjoyed. There were too many things that could be done.
"It wasn't me?!"
Noticing the gazes of his companions, Bayern's eyes turned bloodshot, and he growled in a low voice, "I didn't do such a thing at all. How could I possibly do such a thing to Aunt Hazel and General Radcliffe's daughter …"
Seeing Bayern's twitching face, the butterfly masked woman laughed. "Bayern, stop acting. If not for the irrefutable evidence, I wouldn't have believed it either. This matter has been confirmed by the Northern Royal Family and the Centaur Army … "
What the f * ck is going on?!
Bayern's eyes widened, and his mind was in chaos. Before he came, he was still wondering if the explosion in the laboratory had caused some misunderstanding. He did not expect to hear such shocking news.
In particular, his relationship with Princess Hazel had always been good, and he viewed her as an elder. To suddenly hear such grievous news …
"This is impossible!"
Bayern roared like a wild beast, and a terrifying murderous aura burst forth, shocking everyone present.
Seeing this, Hayashi River issued a series of commands. Three mechanical bees shot out in a triangular formation, and their stingers pierced into the back of Bayern's neck, injecting electromagnetic energy waves.
The electromagnetic energy waves emitted by the stingers of the mechanical bees had several waveforms, and they had various uses. They could defend against enemies, form a defensive barrier, and even stimulate the nerves of living beings, causing numbness and amnesia.
Now, the electromagnetic waves emitted by the stingers of the mechanical bees quickly woke Bayern up.
Thump!
Bayern knelt on one knee, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He waved his hands and said, "Thank you, sir. I'm fine now. Please help me with this matter! "
Hayashi River sighed and rubbed his forehead helplessly. When he saw the secret arrest warrant in the oasis town, he had a premonition that there would be trouble on this trip. However, he did not expect the trouble to be so obvious that he did not want to get involved.
However, thinking of the Centaur Tribe's [Earth King Equipment], Hayashi River shook his head inwardly. He had no choice but to get involved.
Behind the long silver table, the butterfly masked lady looked over and sized up Hayashi River. There was a hint of surprise in her cold eyes. She had actually noticed Hayashi River long ago.
In the previous confrontation, the hidden killer move when using the saber array had been silently dispelled by this young mechanic.
She was already a little surprised by this, and now, seeing how Bayern and the group treated this young mechanic, it was clear that he was their leader.
This was very unusual. Putting aside the group of strangers, she knew of Bayun. He was the son of the Centaur chief, and was famous for his flamboyance in the Northern Region. Even his elder brother did not respect him that much.
However, Bayern's attitude towards this young mechanic showed a hint of respect.
"Madam, can you tell me when the tragedy of the Northern Royal Tribe happened? I want to check the time. "
As Hayashi River spoke, he pointed at Bayern. "Mr. Bayern was seriously injured 12 years ago and was secretly recovering in the Foka Tower City Hall Prison. His injuries only healed a month ago. If the tragedy of the Northern Royal Family happened during this period, I think … "
The butterfly masked woman suddenly stood up. Her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief as she exclaimed, "Impossible! That tragedy happened 11 years ago, and the evidence at the scene shows that it was indeed Bayun who did it … "
Before he could finish speaking, Hayashi River had already handed over a certificate. This was a document that he had prepared before he left. It proved that Bayun had been in the Foka Tower's City Hall Prison for a full 12 years. Not only did it have the seal of the Foka Tower Consul, but it also had the seal of the Foka Tower Consul.
There was also Lieutenant General Philon's personal seal and signature.
"This …"
The butterfly masked woman inputted the certificate into the light screen and verified it. She was speechless.
The seal of the Foka Tower Consul did not have much credibility in the Northern Lands. However, Lieutenant General Philon's personal seal and signature were too convincing.
"Also, this is Mr. Bayun's injury report …"
Hayashi River handed over another document regarding Bayun's treatment.
In fact, when the butterfly masked woman said that the tragedy happened 11 years ago, everyone present knew that it had nothing to do with Bayun.
Even if Bayun could sneak out of the City Hall Prison without anyone noticing, the location of his injuries meant that he could not commit such a crime.
"Someone is framing you …"
The butterfly masked woman stared at Bayun. Suddenly, with a flash, she pounced into his broad embrace and started sobbing softly.
Lin Chuan pursed his lips. Seeing that Bayun's large hand had already touched the lower part of the butterfly masked woman's waist, he interrupted, "Let's not reminisce about old times. Let's sit down and check on each other's situation."
"Of course …"
The couple, who were hugging each other, nodded in unison, but had no intention of separating. The butterfly masked woman did not shy away as she sat on Bayun's lap.
As expected of the owner of the Northern Lands Shihai Club, he was really open-minded …
The group of companions shook their heads and took their seats. Fowler's eyes lit up. This licentious fellow thought that since the butterfly masked woman was the owner of this club, wouldn't he be able to do it here tonight …
Hayashi River glanced at Old Aidan, Hayuya, and Fowler. These three were all old perverts. He knocked on the table, indicating that it was time for everyone to get to the main topic.
"Madam. Tell us about the situation first … "Hayashi River said.
"Call me Madam Butterfly."
After obtaining evidence of Bayun's innocence, the butterfly masked woman's attitude took a 180-degree turn. She said softly, "Actually, very few people in the Northern Lands knew about this case. Once it was exposed, the implications would be too great. The Northern Lands Royal Family and the Centaur Legion came to an agreement to suppress the case … "
Speaking of the tragedy of the royal family 11 years ago, Madam Butterfly only found out about it when the Northern Lands Royal Family sent people over to investigate her, Bayun's lover.
She had investigated the case in detail, and a series of evidence pointed to Bayun. She had no choice but to believe it.
After all, with Bayun's relationship with Princess Hazel, coupled with his usual flamboyance, and the fact that there had been no news of him for more than a year before the tragedy happened.
All these factors, in addition to the irrefutable evidence at the scene, confirmed Bayun's crime.
"Princess Hazel …"
Hayashi River looked at the information on Princess Hazel on the screen. She was the princess of the previous generation of the Northern Lands Royal Family, and the younger sister of the current Northern King. She had raised the Northern Princess of this generation, and had never gotten married.
According to Bayun, Princess Hazel had not only raised the Northern Princess. Before that, she had also taken care of Bayun and his brother, and was the teacher of the two sons of the Centaur Legion Leader.
Her relationship with Bayun was like that of a mother and an older sister. It was no wonder that the Centaur Legion Leader was so agitated when he heard the news …
In the tragedy 11 years ago, Princess Hazel, seven maids, the daughter of the Royal Family's Major General Radcliffe, and two female guards were raped and murdered …
Madam Butterfly narrated as she took out the evidence. She had many photos of the crime scene. The corpses had died horribly, and the injuries on their bodies pointed to Bayun.
"This handprint is indeed mine …" Bayun looked at the evidence with a dumbfounded expression.
If not for the fact that he had spent almost a year in the City Hall Prison 11 years ago and had irrefutable evidence, Bayun would have suspected himself.
After all, when his injuries acted up, Bayun would often be unconscious for a few days.
"This murder plan is really meticulous!" Old Aidan said, shaking his head.
Hayashi and Fowler nodded. Since Bayun was not the murderer, the meticulousness of this case was shocking.
"The murderer must have felt that Bayun would definitely not be able to return, so he pinned all the crimes on him …" Fowler deduced.
"In other words, the murderer should have known that Bayun had met with misfortune in Shihai City?" Old Aidan added.
"Actually, as long as Bayun returns and confesses what happened back then, as well as submit the evidence of what happened in Foka Tower all these years, he will be cleared of the crime," Hayashi added.
Hayashi River glanced at the crowd and said, "In that case, we may never know who the murderer is …"
The crowd fell silent. This was indeed true. After knowing what had happened, it would be easy to clear Bayun of the crime.
However, there was no evidence back then as to who the murderer was. Now, if Bayun, who was thought to be dead, suddenly appeared in the Northland Royal City, it would be difficult to find the murderer.
After pondering for a while, Hayashi River looked at Bayun and Madam Butterfly, who were acting intimately, and said, "I believe that with Madam Butterfly's influence in the Northland, it should not be difficult for her to help Mister Bayun find out the truth …"
"Mister Chuan, you …"
Bayun was stunned. Just as he was about to say something, Madam Butterfly spoke first. "Of course, no matter who it is, I will definitely find out who dared to frame Bayun and make him regret offending us."
"Good. Madam Butterfly is obviously a heroine … "
When Lin Chuan spoke, he praised Madam Butterfly so much that her eyes curved under her butterfly mask. When she looked at the young machine master, her gaze instantly became much gentler.
Then, Madam Butterfly threw out a string of room cards. This was the best suite in the Northland Shihai Hotel, and they could stay there as they pleased.
"Then, I shall not disturb you any further …"
Hayashi River immediately stood up and left with his companions, as if to make space for the couple who had not seen each other for a long time.
"Die, how can you take responsibility for this matter …" Bayun mumbled.
"What's wrong? Do you not have confidence in me … or do you not believe in the intelligence of the Northland Shihai Hotel? "
Madam Butterfly stretched out her finger, stroked Bayun's chest, and said in a coquettish voice, "According to the medical information, you injured that area. Will you never be able to do it in the future? Then I can only find other men in the future … "
Bayun's eyes instantly turned red. Any male would not be able to tolerate such doubts. With a low growl, he grabbed Madam Butterfly's slender waist with one hand and walked toward the bedroom.
…
In the corridor, Hayashi River and the others walked to the elevator. Other than the harpoon, everyone's senses were very sharp, and they immediately heard the soft sounds coming from behind the door.
"That's it, this adulterous couple!?" Old Aidan fiercely muttered.
Fowler reached out and wanted to cover the little girl's ears in a gentlemanly manner, but Laknia dodged him. Other than Blue Kitty, she was not used to being close to anyone.
Furthermore, Laknia indicated that she was not a three-year-old child, and she had long been educated on such matters.
Hayashi River shook his head and let everyone rest. He also told them that they would go to the ruins of the destroyed research base tomorrow to take a look.
"If we find anything, we'll go back the day after tomorrow. Don't get involved in this troublesome whirlpool of the Northland …" Hayashi River said.
His companions were stunned, and they looked at the young machine master. They did not expect that Lin Chuan's words just now had this in mind.
After coming out of the elevator, the group took their room cards and went to their respective suites to rest.
…
In the suite, Hayashi River looked around. As expected of the most high-end entertainment venue in Shihai Mountain City. The luxurious decorations here were comparable to a five-star hotel.
He then took out his communicator and sent two messages.
A moment later, there was a knock on the door. After opening the door, Laknia walked in with Blue Kitty in her arms.
"You two stay here. Little Meow, get ready. We'll go to the research base overnight …" Hayashi River instructed.
"Sir, can't I go with you?"
Laknia opened her eyes wide and looked at Blue Kitty. She was reluctant to be separated from the cat teacher.
Chi also wanted to go with them. He wanted to be of help this time.
After all, the mission given to him by Mossy Bone was to help Hayashi River complete the mission as much as possible.
To Chi, these two people and one cat who had saved him from the Abyss of Despair were benefactors that he wanted to help even at the cost of his life.
"I wanted you guys to go with me to gain some experience."
Hayashi River sighed and shook his head. "Unfortunately, the situation now doesn't allow it. That place might be very dangerous. You guys stay here. If anything goes wrong, immediately find Uncle Aidan and the others, understand?"
Although the little girl and Chi were unwilling, they could only nod. They followed Hayashi River's instructions and stayed in this suite, waiting for Hayashi River and Blue Kitty to return.
"Stop pretending to be dead. Get up and work …"
Hayashi River flicked Blue Kitty's head. As soon as the latter heard that they had to go out overnight, she immediately drooped her head and pretended to be asleep.
"Meow …"
Little Blue Kitty rubbed her face with her claws, looking reluctant. She was very resistant to going out to such a dangerous place.
However, Hayashi River did not care about her protest. He held Blue Kitty by the neck and set up a layer of [Materialized Spiritual Energy Film] on her body. The man and the cat disappeared into thin air.
"Is this the effect of spiritual energy reaching a higher level …"
Laknia's eyes widened. During this period, she had some understanding of the basic knowledge of spiritual energy.
However, Hayashi River did not teach her more profound cultivation. She was also a little resistant to cultivating spiritual energy.
After all, her previous tragic experience was caused by her innate talent.
However, she was a little tempted now. If she was always so weak, how could she help Teacher Cat?
"Sir, and Teacher Cat are stronger than before. If I don't work hard, I'm afraid I won't even be needed to do some small things in the future," Puppet muttered, clenching her fists.
…
Coming out of the Northern Sea Museum, Hayashi River was very careful. Even with the [Materialized Spiritual Energy Film] as a disguise, he had to be careful in such an unfamiliar place.
In the headset, Mossy Bone's voice sounded. He transmitted all the clues related to the tragedy that happened to the Northern Royal Family 11 years ago.
"These clues are very few. At that time, there were scattered rumors in the Northern Territory and the Sea-Ao Empire, but they were quickly suppressed …"
Mossy Bone analyzed these clues and came to a conclusion that the murderer was likely someone from the Northern Royal Family.
As for the murderer's purpose, it was certainly not as simple as lust. Combined with the situation in the Sea-Ao Empire at that time, Mossy Bone speculated that if it was not handled well, the Northern Territory of the Sea-Ao Empire would change.
"You're right. This is big trouble!" Mossy Bone said.
"Of course, there's no trouble when it comes to cases involving the Royal Family. I'll get out of it if I can," Hayashi River muttered.
Following the previously drawn map, Hayashi River sped all the way through the busy city and soon reached the west gate of the city. The outskirts of the city from here was where the Centaur Clan's secret experimental base was located.
With the [Materialized Spiritual Energy Film] as a disguise, Hayashi River quietly left the west gate, deviated from the main road, and entered the depths of Shi Haishan.
This mountain range was worthy of being the number one mountain range in the Northern Territory. Entering the depths of the mountains, it was easy to get lost in the sea of towering trees.
Especially late at night, the mountains here were not safe at all. Shi Haishan City was surrounded by a defensive belt. Its purpose was not to defend against external enemies, but to block the fierce beasts in the mountains.
Whoosh …
There was a low roar, and a fierce beast with a crocodile's skin and a tiger's head scuttled out. Its nose kept sniffing. Although it could not see Hayashi River's traces, it could smell something unusual.
"Crocodile's Mouth Tiger … Just in time for a ride …" Hayashi River's eyes lit up when he saw this fierce beast.
