Chapter 161: Conspiracies

Marla had told her teammates that they’ll talk about the mission’s results after they left the city of Silvermoon And it was now time to fulfil that promise:

“So we finally found the cultist hideout, thanks to the clues given by Eren but it seems ere too late

The place was already in ruins by the tiot there And…”

Marla took so:

“And there was no cultist alive at the scene We don’t knoho, soanization, had raided the place before us And they didn’t just stop at the raid They also killed all the cultists present at the hideout

The scene would have been gory, to say the least by our preliations But other than that, the city’s historians are having a hard ti else fro there’s so their class-specific spells That’s e don’t know the identity of the person who committed a massacre there Or if he ith his team Because this does not look like a one-ht, babe It was a three-person job’

Eren said this in his head before raising a question to histhat there’s a possibility that it anization that did the anization itself? I’d iether”

Marla looked at Eren as if only now co to understand that he was, in fact, a teen He had shocked her with his wits and intelligence so much that she had started to treat hi:

“Eren, you ht see the cultists as normal rankers But they are not And they don’t operate as normal rankers do They have their own set of rules that are based on a certain ideology: survival of the fittest

We rankers also believe in that ideology But we are not fanatics about it But cultist organizations would never hesitate to lose an inch to win a anization Do you think they’ll care about others just because they are also cultists like them?

Only profits and power are eternal in a cultist organization They can easilyupon the situation And they can break the that”

Sai Marla after looking first at Eren and then at Ken The latter also nodded his head after that, confir to her that he had understood

“But what benefits can a rival cultist gang have to raid the place? And isn’t this time too coincidental? Someone raided the place just before it was discovered by us Did they want us to find the place in the exact condition we found it to be?”

Eren asked with confusion written all over his face The butcher was just trying to dig into what inforation team had collected so far That’s why he asked the question in that way

“Eren, you are smart But you don’t know about how cultists work it seeatha when you have free time, she’ll tell you Cultists only look for benefits And there’s a benefit involved in raiding other cultist organizations’ hideouts
