Chapter 2181 - Who is the Traitor? (2/2)
But the Feather woman kept eating as if she hadn’t seen it coming. Either that, or she was willing to concede. She ignored Toxic Dragon Old Six’s hand completely.
“Dragon Six, this is where you eat. This isn’t where you sh*t. Even if she was the traitor of the Destroyed, you should allow us, the Destroyed, to do this ourselves. This is none of your business,” a Destroyed Duke said coldly.
When Dragon Six heard that intrusion, his hand stilled. He looked at the Destroyed Duke and grinned. “You want to get me mad and goad me into killing her, just so everyone turns their attention to me? Good idea, but I’m not that stupid.”
After that, Toxic Dragon Old Six returned his gaze to the Feather woman. He lowered his hand, got up, and returned to sit with the rest of the Dragon.
Han Sen was entertained. Whether or not the woman was the Destroyed traitor, she was a powerful character. If she wasn’t, she couldn’t have remained so chill.
Han Sen could see that Dragon Six wasn’t going to kill her right there, but she was very calm. And it only took her a few sentences to talk down suspicions of her identity. She made people uncertain of what to do with her. She seemed rather dangerous, but it brought an air of balance to her character. There were not many people that were able to do such a thing.
There were too many suspicious things about her, though. Even if she didn’t say anything more, she was still attracting every eye in the establishment. But no one would do anything to her before they figured this out. There were too many factions present with too much at stake.
“I am full. I appreciate you allowing me to sit here. I believe we will meet again.” The Feather woman smiled at Han Sen, then she got up and went upstairs. She was living there.
“Powerful woman. Might she really be the traitor?” Qing Li pursed her lips.
“Who knows? Maybe she is. Maybe she isn’t.” Han Sen looked around him, and he noticed all the other races were staring at them.
That woman had established a connection between him and her. And because they were suspicious about her, the association made them suspicious about him and his own companions.
After eating, Han Sen took his companions outside. He noticed that every elite was now gathered in Steel City. The whole town was locked down. You could only get in, and you could not get out. Apparently, the authorities believed that the traitor was indeed located somewhere in Steel City.
That was a fairly sensible conclusion, or at least, Han Sen thought so. The only place to hide on Planet Sodi was in its sole city, and finding the traitor amongst the hordes of Marquises there would be a very trying task.
But Han Sen had to wonder why the traitor had selected Planet Sodi. And he pondered what the traitor’s escape plan might be.
If the traitor was really there, the person might be very difficult to locate. Of course, it was only a matter of time. They would find the traitor, sooner or later. And if the traitor came here, she had to have been prepared. And if the traitor was prepared, then she had to have an escape plan. Han Sen could not think of a way in which he might manage that, though.
Han Sen was giving the matter a lot of thought because he now wanted the Destroyed Bible for himself. If he was able to find the traitor before everyone else, he could take it without anyone noticing. He could throw it back into the sanctuaries, and that way, no one would ever find it. It would remain hidden even if people thought he was the culprit.
But right now, not even Han Sen knew who the traitor was. He did not know if the traitor had brought the Destroyed Bible with them, either.
