The military arrived after Mo Fan dragged Babbitt off down the mountain.
Mo Fan purposely avoided them. He went to the olive grove on Green Sprouts Island, which was currently covered by the sea water.
Mu Bai and Zhao Manyan were already waiting for him there. They lost their usual carefree attitude after they saw the menacing expression on Mo Fan’s face. After all, every person would feel angry after learning the truth behind the incident.
“Mo Fan, the godfather of the Black Ornaments in Crete will most likely run away after he learns the military academy has been destroyed. It will be tricky to take him down,” Zhao Manyan pointed out.
“I know,” Mo Fan nodded. He then turned to Babbitt, “Do you know why I avoided those soldiers?”
Babbitt shook his head.
“Didn’t you want me to give you another chance?” Mo Fan went on.
Babbitt nodded quickly.
“I will give you the chance you asked for. Go look for your godfather and tell him I’ll be collecting evidence near the pool. If he wants to cover up the truth, he will have to kill me before I report back to the Parthenon Temple and the Holy Judgment Court. If he can kill me, the two of you can retain your freedom,” Mo Fan said.
Babbitt had thought he was going to die for sure. His eyes glittered when he heard the words.
“For…for real?” Babbitt stammered.
“You already saw my way, and I don’t represent any organizations. For me, even if you are arrested and sentenced to death, it’s still too light of a punishment for you, so I’m dealing with you myself. I don’t want you to fall into the hands of the government, the military, or the Parthenon Temple,” Mo Fan stated grimly.
He had let the tattooed man go to ask Kachasa for help. He then spared Kachasa’s life so she could seek protection. He had let Babbitt go so he could seek shelter from Secretary Richard.
If Mo Fan was representing any organization, the whole of Crete would be in a mess right now. There had to be a reason that a troop of soldiers was heading to the military academy. They were most likely Secretary Richard’s backup.
The truth was still not out there. Mo Fan was the only person who knew everything!
“Leave. If your godfather doesn’t show up, my shadow demon will drag you into the deepest Hell. I bet Secretary Richard is already waiting for you down there,” Mo Fan told him emotionlessly.

Babbitt quickly fled to the city after Mo Fan released him. He might still have a chance if he managed to find the godfather!
Mu Bai frowned when he saw Babbitt running away. “Won’t the godfather run away if he has the slightest amount of common sense?” he asked.
“There’s nothing we can do if he tries to run away, so I can only gamble,” Mo Fan replied.
