Chapter 206 The Real Killer One (1/2)

The soldiers surrounded the place securely. The high ranked officials had different expressions, the home faction was furious, Xiao Jin's faction was frowning with confusion on their faces, Red Island Faction lead by Se Qi and the Northern Faction all had surprise on their faces, they couldn't believe it.

”Get him!” Lagos's face was twisted.

Xiao Jin frowned and stopped him, ”there's more to this, Black Phantom visited us in bright daylight, there's no need for him to do such thing.”

”What if that's exactly what he made us think!” One of the chieftains of the Northern Faction said.

”Then why did he have to visit us, it's more discreet to assassinate him.” Xiao Jin said.

”Our guarding power is strong, he wanted to get in!” Someone said.

”He's the killer, and you still want to find excuses for him?!” Lagos was emotional, he took out his gun and pointed at Han Xiao, Se Qi who stood on his side hurriedly stopped him.”

”Calm down, there's no motive for Black Phantom to do this—”

”Motive?!” Lagos was enraged, he stared at Xiao Jin, clenched his teeth and said, ”is there no motive?”

Xiao Jin frowned and said, ”you're overthinking.”

The Northern Faction and the Home Faction agreed they should first control Black Phantom who was the most suspicious, then get on to find more clues. Se Qi felt Black Phantom was too dangerous, and suggested to question Han Xiao on the spot, but was interrupted by Lagos who believed they couldn't trust anything Black Phantom says, they were unable to come to an agreement.

The soldiers surrounded Han Xiao, many strong presences in the dark were locking their attention on him, and the high ranked officials also had their attention on Han Xiao even as they were discussing, they were ready to engage the moment Han Xiao does anything suspicious.

Han Xiao thought to himself, ”the result of framing me to take responsibility for the assassination is a conflict between Alumera and the Dark Net, only the third party will benefit from it. Could this be the goal of the people behind all this? If I start a killing spree, it would also fall right into his trap, it was planned for me to be in such a situation where my actions are very restricted.”

Han Xiao could kill his way out anytime, he didn't care about making Alumera angry, but if he did it, it would be falling into the trap of the people behind this, as escaping would mean he admitted he was the killer, and killing someone creates hatred, he also could not just let them capture him. It seemed like the plan made by the person behind this had worked.

”I've only been here for one day, and they could make the assassination look like I did it, there has to be someone who's an expert in assassination that has been here for a long time, and my arrival had given them the opportunity.”

Unless they could find the real killer, no matter how many things showed that Han Xiao had no motive to do it, he would still be the most suspicious person without any solid evidence that proves otherwise. After all, no one can truly know someone else unless they can read their mind, logical assumptions could not be taken as evidence.

”Wait, evidence—” Han Xiao had a flash of insight, it hasn't been long since Delo was assassinated, the crime scene was not checked thoroughly yet, the killer might have left some clues.

This time, the discussion between the high ranked officials had come to an end, Lagos yelled, ”Black Phantom, disarm yourself and surrender!”

Xiao Jin added, ”if you didn't do it, we will investigate clearly.”

Han Xiao smiled, ”you know that's impossible, how about you guys disarm yourselves?”

Both parties couldn't trust each other, there was no way they would take the risk of disarming themselves, it was a problem that had no solution. However, Han Xiao had a thought, ”there's no point of continuing this argument, I can stay temporarily, and you can send people to monitor me 24/7, I will wait till you find the truth.” He said.

Han Xiao was very curious about who was framing him, he felt it was quite interesting.

”Well, that is one way to do it.” Se Qi said immediately, he wasn't wishing for a conflict.

Before Lagos said anything, someone in the crowd suddenly fired his gun, Han Xiao reacted quickly and activated the Magnetically-Controlled Retractable Armor, the bullet was deflected.

However, this had made the soldiers who were all in a highly nervous state lose their control and all fired at the same time.

”Fire!”

Conflict broke out in an instant!

”Someone fired unexpectedly on purpose!” Han Xiao's eyes became serious, the scene was chaotic, but he saw the person who made the shot clearly, it was an ordinary soldier.

Bullets emerged from every direction, Han Xiao had no choice by to deal with the shootings first, the enhanced Magnetically-Controlled Retractable Armor had an outstanding level of defence, the bullets only made sparks on the armor and couldn't penetrate through.

Energy flow through his body and went into a circular metal plate on his had, the Compounded Magnetic Chain Split Blades was activated, seven sharp blades flew out of the pockets and shot out like a storm. Many soldiers' gun muzzle was cut off, they backed off in horror and bumped into other soldiers on the exteriors.

The firepower of the enemy started weakening, just as Han Xiao was about to go for the soldier who made the first shot, the superhuman guards hidden in the dark acted.
