The information given by Randolph could be summarized with three points:

First, Sean Riley could possibly foresee the future, and knew that ship incident would happen.

Second, the ship incident was probably arranged by the officiant of the Church of the God of Aristocracy.

Third, Sean would leave here soon.

“I think Sean Riley is the most suspicious guy,” Ray said when they settled down in a hostel. He told them everything he had heard, and gave his analysis as well. “I think Sean Riley and the officiant planned this ship incident together.”

Everyone agreed with Ray’s analysis. After having a discussion, they decided to pay a visit to the Garth Commercial Corp the next morning, the commercial corp that Sean Riley built there. If nothing unexpected happened, Sean should have still been there.

The next morning, when they arrived at the Garth Commercial Corp, the guard told them that the chairman Sean was busy in dealing with business.

Ray frowned and sent a signal to Steele by looking at her. Steele and him had already formed a tacit mutual understanding, so she immediately knew what he meant. Then she began to seduce the guard.

The effect of Steele’s seduction was so powerful, which clearly showed the ability she had as a holy spirit. in fact, most of the legendary strong men could not withstand her temptation. This guard was such a strong man, and was at most a professional adventurer who was not even less powerful than Steele; so it was impossible for him to stand this temptation.

The guard looked at Steele’s eyes for one or two seconds, then his eyesight became restrained.

“Is the chairman Sean here?” Steele gently asked.

“I don’t know, I haven’t seen him for a few days.”

Ray frowned and asked, “Is it possible for us to pay a visit to him?”

“He said he is not feeling well these days, and doesn’t want to see anyone.”

“He is not feeling well? You didn’t mention this earlier!”

“This is what he has asked to say. He said that if there is anyone who wants to see him, I should reply by saying ‘the chairman is busy in arranging business.’”

Ray frowned again and asked, “Where does he live?”

“He lives in the room that is close to the sea on the second floor.”

Ray nodded, and asked Sui Xiong, “Your Majesty, can you help me to check for that room?”

Actually, there was no need to ask Sui Xiong to do such a trivial thing, but Ray was very worried, and could not wait to find out what was inside that room.

Sui Xiong checked the room with his spiritual sensing, and found that Sean Riley was not in that room. But there was a old man, whose hair had turned white, lying on his stomach on the ground. He had died several days ago, and his body was maintained by magic so it wouldn’t decay.

Sean Riley was the son of the castellan of Garth City, so he could not possibly be this old. So who was this old man? And why was he dead in Sean’s room?

Sui Xiong practiced a spell and projected the old man’s body in the air, so everyone could see it. Then he asked the guard who this old man was. The guard told him that he was the vice chairman of this commercial corp, who was in charge of managing the daily routine. He was also a relative of Sean’s.

“Sean killed him since he believes this old man would provide some evidence that could go against him,” Ray said coldly. “It seems that he has already run away!”

After a while, the whole Garth commercial corp turned into chaos. The news that the chairman was missing and the vice chairman was killed made everyone worried and frightened.

Sui Xiong got everyone together and questioned them one by one.

After a while, they finally knew where Sean was headed; a guard who was patrolling at night about eight days ago said that he saw the vice chairman, who was wearing a hat, leave hurriedly. Sui Xiong then found this guard had been captivated by a spell, and thought about the time the vice chairman was killed. Then he made the conclusion that Sean killed the vice chairman first, then changed into the vice chairman’s form by practicing magic, and ran away.

But… why did Sean leave in such a hurry? Why did he choose to kill the vice chairman? Was he hiding some secret?

“I don’t care what secret he is hiding. What we can do now is go after him,” Ray thought for a while, and made his decision. “There is a great chance that he is aiming towards Garth City. We should go after him!”

“Are we going to fly there?” Sui Xiong asked.

“It’s not a good idea for us to fly together,” Ray said. “Since he left almost eight days ago, there is no need to hurry. We shall make our preparations and take the boat to Garth City!”
