Chapter 1297 - BPA (4) (1/2)
What should have been a large event fizzled out without much of a climax. However, that was only if you were to everything at face value… Those who were willing to dig deeper came out with one conclusion: The Masked Wife Stealer actually threatened to destroy the Diasho Clan if Diasho Ken stepped out of line!
It was clear to everyone involved that after disappearing for almost a year, this mysterious masked man would once more make SNN Headlines.

”He used a VIP bank card?”
A familiar council of elders gathered. It had been more than ten years since they last coalesced, and back then it was about Clara's invention of the Internet. But, a group that had so infrequently met before somehow found it necessary to meet again on this day…
”According to key witnesses, yes. Such a thing couldn't be faked.”
”Then won't it be easy to figure out his identity? There are less than a thousand people total with access to such a card and those qualified are vetted with the utmost seriousness.”
”We've already combed through all of the records, it didn't take long, but we didn't find anyone matching his description perfectly. Plus, his mask disallows even us from seeing his true face.”
”Still, that narrows down his possible identities, no?”
”Maybe… Maybe not. If this young man is a comet grade expert as he claims, it's possible for him to put protections on it even we can't see through easily.”
A snort sounded through the room. ”A 6th stage comet grade expert younger than 1000 years old? Don't f.u.c.k with me.”
”This isn't the most poignant point, nor is it the reason for this meeting. You all may have disdained the creation of the BPA, but you must also understand why it exists.
”Today, in order to avoid conflict, things were left as is with a very thin veil of plausible deniability. The beasts are less likely to raise an uproar considering who this man's wife is, but as you know, some of them simply seek trouble for the sake of trouble…”
The one who was none other than the Guild Head of the Beast Masters. Considering the shimmering moonlight wrapped around his black robes… His ranking was clear.
”If you had cared so much about the trouble he would cause, why didn't you step out to stop him personally?” A golden robed middle-aged woman wrapped in the same beautiful moonlight spoke out. Clearly, she was unhappy about the treatment of her favorite genius, Diasho Ken.
”Because that naïve little girl made a mistake. Reviewing the footage of the incident, I watched him from the moment he entered to the moment he withdrew his beasts to comply with the rules of the tower. Those beast infants might have had white fur, but they had none of the other markers of having their potential forcefully ripped out of them.
”Plus, have you ever heard of a Dark Beast Master allowing his partners to cling to him like that? What I should be asking you is why your precious disciple decided to provoke him as such. If it weren't for his words, this situation would have blown over completely. But because of him, there's some skepticism.”
