Chapter 207 The Real Killer 2 (1/2)
”You—” Lagos clenched his teeth in anger.
Before he could say anything, Xiao Jin cut in and said, ”We accept your terms. I personally believe the assassination had nothing to do with you. It's a conspiracy intended to spark conflict between both parties.”
The high ranked officials agreed in silence. Black Phantom was even stronger than the rumors said he was; he had defeated the strongest people in the headquarters without even using his sniping style that he was known for. These people were not weak, but they paled in comparison to Black Phantom.
The backup finally arrived at this time. Xiao Jin immediately ordered the soldiers to stay their hand, showing sincerity on their side.
Seeing that, Han Xiao put his weapons away and walked toward where he was staying. The nervous crowd parted and opened a path.
Xiao Jin gave Lagos a faint look before his head and ordering, ”Clean the scene up.”
Lagos was filled with fury. One of the high ranked officials from the Home Faction helped him to get up but was pushed away instantly.
”He could've killed us, but he insisted he's not the killer. He should be trustworthy,” Se Qi whispered.
”Naive!” Lagos said coldly. ”If he kills us, all of Alumera will become enemy with the Dark Net till the very end. He's doing this so that we won't suspect him!”
…
Having returned to his residence, the interface showed a notification.

Han Xiao's eyes twinkled. ”It's a puzzle type mission with only one chance.”
There were many types of missions, and the puzzle type was rather common. Some required the players to collect clues like a detective, and sometimes the clue would be provided, but it was all rather vague. The final decision was to be made by the players.
There was no notification after quite a long wait. Han Xiao guessed this mission belonged to the latter type of puzzle mission. With Alumera's suspicion toward him, he probably would not be able to find any clues.
It's best to wait and see.
At the same time, Bamboo Rain Guild triggered a different mission.
_____________________
[A Shocking Change in Alumera]: The leader of Alumera was murdered. Black Phantom, who came to visit out of nowhere, became the biggest suspect, but he claimed to not be the killer and suppressed objections with his raw strength. Alumera might seem to have submitted, but some factions still strongly believed that Black Phantom is the killer. What information is hidden within?
There are five sides to choose from: Black Phantom, Home Faction, Xiao Faction, Red Island Faction, and the Northern Faction. Changes cannot be made after choosing.
Reward(s): Rewards will be given based on different stands and contribution. The basic reward is 50,000 experience points!

”At least 50,000 experience points!” Bamboo Rain Fly exclaimed in shock.
50,000 experience points were an extremely large amount for them. There really were always benefits wherever Black Phantom went.
”What position will you guys be choosing?”
”Black Phantom for me.”
”Me too.”
Everyone agreed. They did not know Alumera very well, and Han Xiao had just defeated all of Alumera's military power. It was obvious that following Han Xiao would be the most reliable.
Players of Bamboo Rain Guild approached Han Xiao and expressed their willingness to help.
