Chapter 2177 - Blue Bat (2/2)
“I can think of two possibilities. First, Salan’s men have infiltrated Crete and the Guild of the Wicked. They knew the Bishop of the Black Church was going to teach Mr. Lin a lesson, so they applied the Frenzy Liquid on the poppies to make the Demon Titan go out of control, resulting in this tragedy.”
“Second, Mr. Lin might be a member of the Black Vatican. He’s planting the ingredients for the Frenzy Liquid, and the Guild of the Wicked happened to pick on him, which caused this tragedy,” Mu Bai said.
Mo Fan agreed with Mu Bai’s analysis, especially the second scenario.
If it was the second possibility, Mr. Lin might be an important subordinate to Salan. They would be one step closer to finding Salan now that Mr. Lin was in their hands!
“Where’s Mr. Lin now?” Mo Fan asked when he realized how important the man was.
“Didn’t I already tell you? Golden Sun Knight Jiang Bin is watching him…” Mu Bai frowned as he finished the sentence. He took out his phone as he continued, “The knights of the Parthenon Temple should have been here five minutes ago, knowing their efficiency.”
“Did you contact Golden Sun Knight Jiang Bin?” Mo Fan queried grimly.
“Yes.”
“Let’s go take a look!”

Mo Fan told Zhao Manyan to stay at the olive grove to protect the evidence while he and Mu Bai went to look for Golden Sun Knight Jiang Bin.
Golden Sun Knight Jiang Bin was staying at a small house. Both Mr. Lin and his daughter were being kept in custody there. Mu Bai knew Jiang Bin was a responsible person, and he also trusted his strength as a Golden Sun Knight, thus he was the best option they had to keep an eye on Mr. Lin and his daughter.
They immediately picked up the smell of blood as they arrived.
“Damn it!” Mo Fan and Mu Bai cursed together.
When they went inside the house, a man in the armor of a Golden Sun Knight was sitting on the ground staring blankly. Most importantly, his eye sockets were empty.
Mu Bai quickly went ahead to take a look around outside while Mo Fan turned into a cloud of shadows and searched the house. However, he did not find Mr. Lin. The daughter had ended up as a peaceful corpse!
“Jiang Bin? What about him?”
“He’s still alive, but I’m afraid he’s been blinded,” Mu Bai said softly.
“He’s still alive? That’s great… Damn it, why didn’t we find out the truth earlier? We finally found someone important to the Black Vatican, yet he escaped right under our noses!” Mo Fan was having mixed feelings.
It was a relief that Jiang Bin was still alive. It was rare for the Black Vatican to spare someone’s life.
“Brother, I’m sorry for involving you in such a great mess,” Mo Fan patted Jiang Bin’s shoulder.
Jiang Bin was finally able to calm down after he heard their voices.
“I’m the one who should be sorry. I have failed to accomplish such a simple task,” Golden Sun Knight Jiang Bin said in shame.
“We didn’t think the Black Vatican would be involved, nor did we realize Mr. Lin was Salan’s man. Otherwise… speaking of which, did you see who took Mr. Lin away?” Mo Fan asked. Mo Fan was eager to find out everything about Salan that he could.
“She referred to herself as the Blue Bat,” Jiang Bin reported.
“Blue Bat!” Mo Fan was startled. It was her!?
“She asked me to tell you that she had a pleasant conversation with you at Crete’s Merchant Guild. It’s the reason why she spared my life,” Jiang Bin said. He completely lost his calm after finishing the sentence, overwhelmed by a sense of failure and humiliation.
Mo Fan’s heart pounded heavily.
That explained why she had saved Mr. Lin’s life!
