“It’s me, it’s me!” Babbitt blurted out in joy.

“Secretary Richard is inside. Do you want me to bring you to him?” the soldier inquired.

“That will be great, quick, bring me to him!” Babbitt said impatiently.

General Jessica glanced at Babbitt, who was behaving a little strangely. She was also disgusted by the soldier’s attitude.

She was a Major General, someone who fought at the front line, yet the soldier was paying more respect to the merchant than her. Did the soldiers in Crete only care about money instead of their medals?

General Jessica glared at Babbitt’s back. She had a feeling something unusual was following him, yet she did not notice anything when she tried to take a closer look.

An old pine tree was swaying in the wind around a sharp corner of the road leading up to the mountain. An upright figure with a hint of a strange Aura appeared under its shadow.

General Jessica took a closer look and realized it was a person by the light their phone was emitting. The person seemed to be keeping an eye on something.

General Jessica hesitated for a moment, but decided to ignore it. She was at a military academy, not a secret military headquarters. It was normal for outsiders or the students from the academy to be roaming around. A lot of them would often chat with their girlfriends late at night for a long time.

“Are you sure? His daughter met with Harper the afternoon before she disappeared…” Mo Fan was holding his phone in one hand while leaning on the branches nearby with the other.

“Mo Fan, I couldn’t figure out why they wanted Harper dead. Do you really think Harper wasn’t paying the Guild of the Wicked a protection fee or something?” Mu Bai had to ask.

“I just gave Asha’ruiya a call and asked her to check on the survivors of Green Sprouts Island. The same thing that happened to Harper has happened to them too,” Mo Fan replied.

“You mean the survivors were killed in accidents? A lot of them?” Mu Bai asked curiously.

“Not really. If we didn’t look at their deaths as something intentional, there isn’t anything strange about them,” Mo Fan said.

Falling into the sea after being mentally unstable.

Hanging themselves in their room, as they felt it was meaningless to continue living after the rest of their family had died in the tragedy.

Joining the war to avenge their dead close-ones, yet ending up being killed by snake demons and titans.

They were seemingly ordinary deaths, considering the tragedy that had taken place. It was part of a chain effect after what befell Green Sprouts Island, but Mo Fan began to feel suspicious after Harper was killed.

Harper was an optimistic but lazy person. His situation was similar to those who had been forced to move from their old houses and were given a few houses as compensation, and who could easily make a living by collecting rent from their properties. He would just spend his days as he pleased, instead of worrying about the future.

He was trying his best to forget the incident of Green Sprouts Island. He did not speak a word about it after he told them about the magic pattern on the Tyrant Titan’s back.
