1028 Turning Point 2 (1/2)
Garen observed that the eyes of these beautiful women seemed to be a little dull, giving a feeling that they were not able to focus.</p>
”Let's be straightforward. What do you want from me? Don't worry about them. They can't hear, see or speak.” Ron explained casually.</p>
Garen quickly understood what he meant. These beautiful women were all deaf, mute and blind. Obviously, it was impossible for them to be born as such; they were made disabled to prevent them from leaking any secrets. Ron was so ruthless that he made all these beautiful women deaf, mute and blind.</p>
”The main reason why I am here to visit Senior Brother Ron was because I bumped into your energy machinery substitute in Tiga Forest. It seemed like he encountered something troublesome and was badly injured. He asked me to send a message to let you know that he met a strong enemy. He also said that as long as I personally delivered this message, I will be given a reward.” Garen lied to him, a story he made up earlier before coming.</p>
”A strong enemy?” Ron casually waved one of his hands, and suddenly, a few clear crystals flashed around him, and it seemed like he was starting to get in touch with his substitutes. However, he quickly frowned, clearly, he was not able to contact his fallen substitutes.</p>
Bang!</p>
Ron kicked the beautiful women away beside him and stood up abruptly.</p>
”Junior Brother, please have a rest here. I have something urgent to attend to.”</p>
”Take your time, Senior Brother.” Garen nodded.</p>
From what it seemed, Ron was not informed that his substitute was dead. Obviously, the connection between the both of them was not that strong.</p>
Garen's initial killing intention went down slowly. If that is the case, no one will find out that it was he who killed the two substitutes. It was good news that for the time being, and he need not become hostile towards the both of them.</p>
After all, it was not the best timing. However, everything was based on Ron's reaction.</p>
After a short while, Ron returned with a stern look on his face.</p>
”I would like to thank you. Otherwise, I would not have noticed that something went wrong over there.”</p>
”Senior Brother, you are being too modest.”</p>
”Are you willing to bring me to the place where you meet my substitute?” Ron asked lightly, but his tone was an unquestionable affirmative tone.</p>
”Sure.” Garen nodded.</p>
********************</p>
Tiga Forest</p>
This was the place where Garen fought previously with the two substitutes. The place was now burnt black, white mist surrounded the area, and the entire sea of trees had signs of being ravaged by a big fire.</p>
More than a dozen levitating airships brought a large number of inspectors and detection personnel. They were attempting to replay the scenario.</p>
Both Ron and Barrow have arrived. They stood in front of Garen, both of their backs facing him. They walked slowly on the scorched land and investigated the situation.</p>
Barrow had a ghastly look on his face.</p>
”A strong radiation is interfering with everything here. All the traces of what was remained are being affected by the radiation, and we could not find anything that is of any use.”</p>
”Furthermore, the murderer also implanted a crystal configuration shield in advance, and each time a piece of crystal is broken, its endurance will once again be maximized. This guy is certainly not just any ordinary murderer, just a piece of crystal configuration is worth hundred thousands of crystals. An ordinary person will not be able to afford it!” One of the experts explained softly.</p>
”Also, there are some remains of an extremely powerful high-energy response. It seems like there is a very strong heat energy here, which was caused by an explosion. This heat energy is extremely powerful!!” Another expert said softly.</p>
”It appears to be an attack in a form of a light pillar. I seem to have seen a halo in the sea of trees that day, but it happened in a flash.” Garen intervened.</p>
”You saw that!?” Ron turned around and said harshly. ”Why didn't you say anything earlier on? Tell us quickly what happened!?”</p>
Garen was not angry. As he told them the entire story, he purposely left out and added information. Furthermore, he had already cleared the battlefield, hence the information he shared was completely distorted.</p>
”What if we re-simulate and restore what happened at that time? Let's find out what kind of forces were able to defeat Senior Brothers' substitutes and prevent them from escaping?” Garen proposed.</p>
”Right, the effect of virtual simulation is not very obvious, an on-site simulation will allow us to achieve a higher level of restoration.” Another expert nodded in agreement.</p>
”I've found someone to investigate the previous satellite surveillance video. Although it is shielded here, part of their previous activity should be recorded.” Another expert followed.</p>
Ron and Barrow had an ashen look on their face. Their actions had always been very secretive, if their whereabouts were being monitored by the satellite, then it would be very embarrassing.</p>
Barrow thought for a moment. He was about to go to Ron to discuss looking for another Junior Brother expert in tracking and investigation when he felt a faint buzzing noise from his surroundings. It seemed like something was broken.</p>
”What sound is that?” He frowned.</p>
”It sounds like... something broke?” Garen frowned and said uncertainly. Suddenly, the expression on his face changed, he looked at Ron horrifyingly and rushed over.</p>
”Senior Brother, careful! Behind you!”</p>
He shouted and rushed behind Ron.</p>
Ron was startled. He was about to turn around when he felt a sudden pain in his chest.</p>
Tss!!</p>
A sword with its tip covered in blood slowly slid out of his chest.</p>
He lowered his head and turned around with great difficulty. He saw Garen's smiling face as he pierced an elongated sword that was burning in blue flame into his chest.</p>
”A mere... mid-level five... how… is it possible!!!??” He could not believe that a young man with only a mid-level five resonance could actually break through his force field defense, bypass his genes and physical defenses and instantly pierce through his heart.</p>
He could not even react to the sudden change, even Barrow was dumbfounded.</p>
The other people around them started shouting and screaming.</p>
