1637 A Greater Secre (1/2)

Edited by Aelryinth

Mo Fan felt the pinch. Mu Ningxue would not behave like this if she was not overwhelmed by anger and sorrow. His heart skipped a beat!

He didn't have a heart?

Mo Fan clearly remembered Ai Jiangtu taking the kid out of the Scarlet Soaring Demon's belly. He had even lent a hand to bury the body, but he had never checked to see if the kid still had a heart!

”Why is that?” Mo Fan was both shocked and confused.

”The reason that the missing kid ended up in the Scarlet Soaring Demon's belly… was that he wasn't eaten by the Scarlet Soaring Demon, but someone was using the Scarlet Soaring Demons' trait of eating little kids to conceal their crime of kidnapping them for their hearts!” Mu Ningxue told him.

”Wh...what!?” Mo Fan almost yelled at the top of his lungs. He was utterly dumbfounded by Mu Ningxue's words.

The kids had already lost their hearts before they were eaten by the Scarlet Soaring Demons!?

Mo Fan's heart shuddered. Why did something that was already so cruel have to be tied up with an even scarier truth?

”I came to Athens on my own because I didn't want the culprit to know we are making a move,” Mu Ningxue said.

”The culprit is here in Athens?” Mo Fan asked curiously.

”Mm, we've tracked the children's hearts to here!” Mu Ningxue said.

Mo Fan now realized why Mu Ningxue was having dinner in a luxurious restaurant in an evening gown. The culprit must have a strong background, so Fanxue Mountain would easily arouse suspicion with their investigation. Therefore, Mu Ningxue had pretended to come for a business trip!

”What else do you know?” Mo Fan growled.

”Jiang Yu has dug very deep into the matter, but he also warned me that the person involved is extremely dangerous. He asked me to be very careful. We aren't sure who the culprit is, but the hearts are indeed here in Athens. Jiang Yu will be here in two days, he will explain the details to us...” Mu Ningxue said.

”Stealing children's hearts. What are they up to?” Mo Fan could not understand the reason behind it.

”Not stealing... they are collecting!” Mu Ningxue corrected him.

From what Mu Ningxue knew, the true number of missing children was far higher than what they knew of. It was not just in Feiniao City; the same incidents were happening in other cities, even other countries...

”Collecting hearts?” Mo Fan was lost in thought after learning the terrifying, disappointing truth.

He had only found out about the despicable act of General Ethan and his subordinate Gangma in Egypt. Those pricks, driven by their greed, considered themselves honorable despite their evil acts. Their twisted personalities and hearts were even more disgusting than the demon snakes and scorpions! Apas' accusations of humans also left Mo Fan in deep thought.

How many could the demon creatures possibly eat?

Humans were 'eating' more than the demon creatures!

What was wrong with humans? Why did they have to devastate one another?

Gangma had kidnapped the young girls to satiate his own desires, and to expand his connections. They were feeding the young girls to the Medusae in return for temporary peace. But what kind of reason would someone have for collecting children's hearts?

Mo Fan had assumed the Black Vatican was the definition of evil. No one could possibly be worse than the Black Vatican! The members of the Black Vatican were not even worthy to be called humans, but after the things he had been through, he suddenly felt that evil was nothing but a bottomless abyss. Whenever he thought he had seen the darkest side of humans, something worse was still happening just beyond his sight!
