"It's me, it's me!" Babbitt blurted out in joy.
"Secretary Richard is inside. Do you need me to bring you in?" the guard asked him.
"That's great, bring me inside, quick!" Babbitt blurted out.
Jessica glanced at Babbitt, who seemed to be in a strange state. She was disgusted by the guard's attitude.
She was a Major General who had fought at the frontline, yet the guard was treating her with less respect than a merchant of a Chamber of Commerce. Did the soldiers of Crete only care about wealth and not achievements?
Jessica glanced at Babbitt's back. She vaguely felt that there was something unusual behind him. However, when she looked carefully, she didn't find anything.
An old pine tree was swaying in the wind at a 90-degree turn on the mountain road. A tall figure with an eerie aura gradually appeared under the shadow of the tree.
JESSICA looked in that direction again. It wasn't until she saw the light of a cell phone that she realized there really was someone standing there. She didn't know why, but it seemed like he was monitoring something.
Jessica hesitated for a moment, but decided to ignore it in the end. This was a military academy, not a secret military base. It was normal for outsiders, including students, to be loitering around the place. There were plenty of people talking to their girlfriends on the phone in the middle of the night.
…
"Is that so? His daughter met Harper in the afternoon, and then his daughter went missing …" Mofan held his phone in one hand while fiddling with a tree branch with the other.
"Mofan, Harper's death is too strange. Do you really think Harper didn't pay the protection fee to the Guild of the Wicked?" Mubai said.
"I just called Asha 'ria and asked her to investigate the survivors of Green Sprouts Island. Some of them are in the same situation as Harper," Mofan said.
"Did a lot of survivors die in an accident?" Mubai asked curiously.
"No, as long as we don't suspect it, there's nothing strange about their deaths," Mofan said.
He lost his mind and fell into the sea.
With his family dead, there was no point in living alone, so he hung himself in the house where he had been placed.
He threw himself into the battlefield and tried to take revenge, but in the end, he was killed by the lizards and giants …
The deaths seemed perfectly normal. It was reasonable for a chain reaction to happen after such a tragedy. However, Harper's death had made Mo Fan suspicious of the whole incident!
Harper was an optimistic and lazy man. As a matter of fact, he was very similar to most of the locals in the city who had their homes demolished and were given a few apartments to live on by collecting rent. He would live a carefree life as long as he could. There was no need for him to worry about the future.
After the incident on Green Sprouts Island, Harper tried his best to forget everything. Apart from mentioning the Demon Seal at the beginning, he did not mention anything about the sinking of Green Sprouts Island.
At first, Mofan thought that this was Harper's way of survival. He chose to forget the painful and terrifying things and focused all his attention on the most anticipated summer and the beautiful girls.
This was a very good state.
But the moment he saw him covered in blood, Mo Fan finally understood …
He had forgotten what he had witnessed. It was actually a different way of survival.
Harper was very smart, much smarter than he had imagined. In order to survive, he had never told anyone the truth. It allowed him to live longer than the others who died in accidents.
"I think Harper thought we were the ones who wanted to kill him at first, so he acted like he was going to live a comfortable life after surviving a disaster. He didn't expose himself when the people of the Guild of the Wicked moved in. But why did he go and meet Mr. Lin's daughter? The tattooed man and the others had already let their guard down around Harper. They were about to give up on watching him, but he gave them the chance, "Mofan said.
"Yeah, he knew we weren't the ones who wanted to kill him, but the people who moved in after him. He didn't want us to be involved … The Guild of the Wicked is a bunch of bastards," Mubai said.
An ordinary person who lived a leisurely life would start dating in the summer. Most men would be envious of him.
A man like him would not be killed unless he was caught having an affair with someone else's wife. If Harper was still alive, Mo Fan would still believe that the sinking of Green Sprouts Island was the work of a crazy Tyrant Titan. It was a natural disaster!
However, Harper was dead. It meant that things were not as simple as they seemed.
In other words, Harper was one of the survivors who were being watched by the Guild of the Wicked.
Why were they watching the survivors?
What had the survivors seen?
Then what was the person behind the scenes trying to hide?
Mo Fan did not bother asking the tattooed man, as he knew the tattooed man was only a hired thug. There were many other members of the Black Ornaments like the tattooed man, who were keeping an eye on the other survivors and trying to create a reasonable accident.
"Can you find Mr. Lin's daughter?" Mofan asked.
"Old Zhao and I will try. Hopefully, she's still alive," Mubai said.
"Where's Mr. Lin now?"
"He's unconscious. I've handed him over to the Golden Sun Knight called Jiang Bin. I don't think there's anything wrong with his character," Mubai said.
"Jiang Bin? Oh, the knight who was almost fired to protect the illiterate old man on Orange Coconut Island, right? Mm, he's a good guy. I don't have to worry about him, "Mofan nodded.
…
After ending the conversation with Mubai, Mofan turned off his phone and put it in his pocket.
Mofan raised his head and fixed his gaze on the gate of the military academy. His expression began to change.
Was it still the same in the end?
Why couldn't it be a natural disaster?
Why was there always a human element in everything?
Mofan was deeply disappointed by the truth that was about to surface.
Demons ran amok in the entire world, and humans were at a huge disadvantage. The reason why they hadn't died out after such a long time and gradually entered a magical civilization was because humans were different from demons. They were far more united than demons and had more wisdom.
However, the reason why humans could never gain the upper hand and could not escape from the cage-like cities was because humans were no different from demon creatures. They were greedy, savage, and murderous!
