Chapter 211 The Real Killer 6 (1/2)

”You bribed Miri to bring Black Phantom to the scene as soon as the assassination was discovered, wanting to spark a conflict so that the scrimmage would bury more clues. You also arranged people to kill Miri during the battle.”

Xiao Jin listed many pieces of evidence. Su Dinghua closed his eyes in pain and softly spoke to himself. ”I knew this day would come. Being found out means death.”

Then, Su Dinghua looked at his assistant and said, ”I did kill our leader, but I'm not the mastermind—he is. Raylen gave me many benefits and promised me even more, so I did things for them. He's a spy sent by Raylen to monitor and control me—this plan was also suggested by him!”

The assistant looked at Su Dinghua in anger and said, ”You've lost your mind…”

”You think there's a way to get away alive?” Su Dinghua stopped him and said, ”I did things for you people because of the benefits you gave, which won't be of use to me anymore. Now that I'm exposed, Raylen won't have an easy time either.”

The assistant's eyes suddenly turned white. His lips became purple, and white foam came out of his mouth. He died while twitching. When Su Dinghua was talking, he knew that he would definitely die, so he crunched down on the poisonous capsule between his teeth and committed suicide. The guards all followed his lead.

The people of Raylen were known for being cold-blooded and loyal, so no one was surprised.

Han Xiao stood aside and watched with no intent to stop them. Very soon, Su Dinghua was the only one left alive.

Xiao Hai sneered and said, ”It's too late to save yourself.”

”I'm not planning to. I know that death is my only option.” Su Dinghua shook his head.

Xiao Jin cut in and said, ”Su Dinghua, you have been a member of Alumera for a very long time. The leader treated you well, so why did you do it?”

”Hahahahaha!” Su Dinghua suddenly laughed so loudly that even tears came out of his eyes. He said with a mocking tone, ”Xiao the second chair, this doesn't seem like something you would say. Your blood is much colder than mine.”

Xiao Jin remained expressionless and was not affected by it, but Xiao Hai slapped Su Dinghua and said, ”Seems like you want a slow death.”

The people from other factions have arrived for quite some time. They watched this scene in shock and confusion.

Su Dinghua laughed for a while, then suddenly said with sorrow, ”I will apologize to the leader myself.”

Xiao Hai took out a whole set of torture devices and said coldly, ”Then you have a lot of time to think about what to say.”

”Enough, he has already confessed. Bring him back then interrogate him,” one of the chieftains of the Northern Faction said. Su Dinghua was a high ranked official of the Northern Faction, so interrogating and torturing him in public would bring a lot of shame to the Northern Faction.

Su Dinghua was a traitor who did not represent the Northern Faction's position, but it did bring them shame.

Xiao Jin looked at Han Xiao with inquiry in his eyes. The others looked over as well.

Black Phantom was the one that had been framed, so his opinion was very important.

”The real killer has been found. Anything other than that has nothing to do with me,” Han Xiao said. He then turned away and left.

…

The real killer that assassinated Darryl had been found. The whole plan had been Raylen's, and Han Xiao was cleared of suspicion.

Su Dinghua died in the interrogation. He spat out quite an amount of intelligence before he died. He was a very important chess piece to Raylen, and the assassination was to spark conflict between Alumera and Dark Net, but the plan had gone south. Han Xiao's strength was far beyond their expectations. They had thought that Black Phantom would be captured or even killed, so the hatred between Alumera and Dark Net could not be resolved easily, but to their surprise, Han Xiao had the upper hand.

The assassination only went so well because of Su Dinghua's years of planning. Raylen suffered a huge loss when he died.

Xiao Jin was a huge contributor to finding the real killer. He gained a large about of prestige, and the Home Faction had to thank him even if they did not want to.

Everything was settled. However, Black Phantom, who had cleared his suspicion, decided to stay. No one knew what motives he had. The factions did not have time to care about him since they were all busy with the election of a successor.

In the room, Han Xiao looked at the mission [The Real Killer] on his interface. Su Dinghua had been caught, but he did not turn in the mission.

This thing has yet to end.

A flash of coldness appeared in Han Xiao's eyes; one thought had become clearer in his mind.

…

Three days after capturing Su Dinghua, Xiao Jin brought Xiao Hai along and came to visit.

”Why are you looking for me?” Han Xiao asked.

”I should be the one asking. What's your goal in staying here?” Xiao Jin asked back.

”I was framed out of nowhere, and your people wanted to kill me. I need compensation.”

Xiao Hai was shocked and angry. ”This whole thing was planned by Raylen, and you even killed our people. How dare you ask for compensation‽”

”Raylen is too far away, so I'm getting money from you guys first.”

”You're robbing us!” Xiao Hai was filled with anger.

”That's correct.” Han Xiao nodded calmly. He looked at Xiao Hai mockingly and said, ”What can you do about that?”

Xiao Jin pulled the furious Xiao Hai back, then wrote a number on a piece of paper and said, ”I will compensate you personally. Is this amount enough?”

Han Xiao gave it a quick look and said, ”Barely acceptable.”

Xiao Hai was frustrated. He did not understand why Xiao Jin was willing to pay; there was absolutely no need to in his eyes.
