Chapter 350: Old One Escapes (1/2)

”Who has the seal for the Space gates?”

Old one, asked the temple head.

”Why do you ask?” Temple-head replied without giving any response.

He turned around and didn't even wait for Old One to reply to him or re-ask the same question.

When both of them got to the meeting spot, the decision makers and the rest of the people from the Minor powers and the Minor professional associations are already sent.

They even gave orders to look for the ones who are absent today and placed them on the wanted list and their pictures and details are already ready to be publicized all over the planet.

But that has little use, because they are sure that those people are working for the Church.

Now, only the decision makers of the Six major powers and the professional associations are the only ones who are remaining for the inspection.

Even the subordinates are investigated.

As soon as the temple head and Old one entered the meeting space, the latter asked.

”Who has the seal for the Space gates?”

Everyone looked at each other in confusion. They remembered noticing the temple head going out of the meeting room, but they didn't remember Old one going out at all.

In fact, till that moment, they didn't notice that Old one is actually missing from that place.

They suddenly felt like something was amiss.

The temple head exchanged glances with the rest of them and all of them looked at Old one.

”Why are you guys not replying? I am asking, where is the seal for the Space gates?” Old one got overly frustrated as time went on.

But at this moment, he suddenly realized something is not right and his theory was confirmed when he saw the serious looks on the faces of his peers.

He became vigilant and looked at them one by one.

”Why are you all looking at me like that?”

”We never sealed the Space gates. Old one.” Old two, the head of the Inscription association said in a solemn tone.

”What do you mean by that? He said that…” He paused and looked at the Thunder god temple head and gritted his teeth in anger.

”How dare you trick me?” He yelled at him, in exasperation.

”What do you mean tricking you? You should be answering questions. I already felt that something is not right as soon as we sat at the meeting. We are all working busily interrogating and judging everyone since morning, but I felt like something is amiss.

According to our estimate yesterday, us heads of the organizations, shouldn't have this much work in our hands, if distributed evenly.

I was continuously counting and I never felt that something is wrong with the number of people present, but only at that moment, did I understand that something is gravely wrong. The more I felt it is normal, the more I contradicted myself and as soon as I walked out of the meeting space, I realized that something is wrong with the place we are sitting.

You deliberately used some tricks to make sure we don't notice your absence while you are hiding in the back taking a look at the whole inspection, when the person from the Space gate association got caught, he was taken away by the Lightning Spear Sect head.

He was completely involved in the investigation and didn't care about your presence.

If he wasn't caught, you would have come back, but he was caught, so you seemed to be too worried about that and didn't conceal your aura properly.

At first, I thought it was just Lightning Sper sect head, but he already is back.

That is why I came out of the meeting spot and felt like some type of cloud has been cleared.

You really wanted to get away with it and for that, how dare you make fools of all of us?”
