Chapter 385 Murder and Turn Poin (2/2)

The situation suddenly complicated. There seemed to be another mysterious force that had their eyes on the Secret Message Bead, and they had even used DarkStar's name to trick people. They must be tired of living! They were directly provoking DarkStar! Once they found the culprits, they would make them beg for death!

The problem was… what was the mysterious force's identity? Why did they know about the Secret Message Bead? Was their target the products inside the bead or to destroy DarkStar's plan? Were they money driven, or were they DarkStar's enemies?

Ember was confident that he did not expose anything, so he was baffled. Which part went wrong and exposed him?

He had thought of himself as a hunter, but in the shadows, there was a pair of eyes staring at them, hiding deeper than DarkStar, making his hair stand on end.

More mysteries arose, and things were getting tricky and complicated.

The first thought was a traitor in the organization, or how else would they know so much confidential intel?

”What about the real whereabouts of the bead?”

”I—I don't know. I did not throw it into the outer space but took it with me. However, it was lost during the battle on Floating Dragon Island…”

Ember had a freezing cold look. That imposter mysterious force wanted to mislead DarkStar. If they did not want to deliberately kill Peggy, they would have really fallen for it!

Thinking back carefully about that mysterious force's methods, it was secretive yet bold. They knew clearly that they were competing with DarkStar, but still, they dared to pose as DarkStar, which meant that they had guessed their thought of keeping things confidential, grasped the psychology of all parties, and finally mislead both Peggy and DarkStar, toying with them between their fingers. And they had almost succeeded. This careful and precise way of thinking made Ember uncontrollably afraid.

They came only a little bit late!

”Since it was not thrown into outer space, it will be a simple matter. Go and thoroughly investigate all the forces involved in the scrimmage,” Sarota ordered, ”with any means necessary. Pry open their mouths. There is bound to be a party that picked up the Secret Message Bead. It's impossible to not have any witnesses.”

”Some Wanted Criminals have left Floating Dragon, and they need to be intercepted by the mother ship.” The anger of having been toyed with was stacking up in Ember's mind, and his tone was very cold. ”Leave the people still on Floating Dragon to me.”

”During the search for the whereabouts of the Secret Message Bead, inquire about intel on that mysterious force at the same time,” Sarota added.

”I know.” Ember frowned. Although he agreed, he really did not have much clue about the mysterious force.

”Wha—what about me?”

Peggy did not have the same confidence that he had moments ago. He was panicking, but he felt that he had given them the intel and helped DarkStar to find out more about the hidden enemy, which should have been considered a contribution.

Sarota glanced at him then gestured. The surrounding DarkStar warriors all raised their light energy rifles and aiming at the column. All the scavengers were frightened—they struggled and hastily begged for mercy.

”Don't kill me. It's just a misunderstanding, I didn't mean to deceive you! DarkStar is my idol. I have always wanted to fight for the cause of the hybrids. Please let me join you.” Peggy was trembling as he exclaimed.

”You really want to dedicate yourself to DarkStar?” Sarota's eyes flashed.

”Yes, DarkStar is my faith! I would do anything for you.” Peggy hurriedly revealed his heart and expressed his loyalty.

”Well, for us, you being dead is more useful than being alive. DarkStar appreciates your contribution,” Sarota sneered.

The murder was the biggest purpose of the DarkStar for this trip. The fewer outsiders in the world that knew about the whereabouts of the Secret Message Bead, the better.

Hum!

Bright lights burst from the energy rifles, melting wounds in the scavengers one after another. The screams burst from the captives' mouths before quickly weakening as they lost their breath.

The laser expanded in Peggy's eyes, and his line of sight became all white. He opened his eyes wide and roared, ”No!”

The dense wounds were all over his body. Peggy's head fell limply to the side with his eyes wide open. He had died with so many regrets.

He had thought that his dreams of joining the DarkStar were going to come true but never had he expected that he would eventually die at the hands of DarkStar.
