Chapter 962: Chapter 962
"There are some things I want to tell you before you die, so you can die with some clarity."
"What about No.1?" No.5 didn't care about his own life and death; he only cared whether No.1 was dead.
"No.1 has fallen. He went mad; someone struck from the shadows.
And No.2, he's been different from all of us for a long time."
"No.2 could not have betrayed us." No.5 firmly denied it.
"Ha..." New Five sneered, "He's not walking the same path as the rest of us; that's betrayal."
No.5 remained silent.
"You still don't know No.2's identity, no wonder you trust him so much.
He somehow erased all the information about him at our base.
Theoretically, as long as No.1 dies, and doesn't reveal No.2's identity before dying, no one will know who he is."
Even I didn't know at first, but he's been in a high position for too long.
Long enough to overlook a small flaw, a flaw from a minor player.
He is a prince of Daqian, a prince eligible for the throne.
And the Tenth Tier path will open soon. If Emperor Qian breaks through, he won't manage the court for a long time.
No.2 has all the chances to advance to the Tenth Tier right in Daqian; why would he bother with us?
He wishes we all die to eliminate any future threats.
Do you remember the first time our base was exposed and attacked?
The second time, he tricked you into internal conflict, using forbidden items to trap you. Do you remember?
No.1 is dead, No.3, No.4, No.6, No.7, No.8, No.9, all are dead.
And they all died in recent years. Have you ever wondered why?
He betrayed us long ago. No, he wanted to shake us off a long time ago.
We are his stain, his flaw. We must die, the organization must be destroyed, but not by his own hands."
Just after No.5 awakened, he was bombarded with a torrent of information, leaving his head buzzing.
All he heard was that No.2 was a prince of Daqian, eligible to succeed the throne, either the Crown Prince or the Second Prince.
All the information dumped on him suddenly made sense.
Times have changed, and things are certainly different now compared to the past.
"No... that's impossible, how could it be."
No.5 struggled to accept it.
"That Magical Treasure for summoning the fierce beast monster he gave you, do you know where it came from?"
"I don't know; I only know it was a fierce beast."
"Then you don't know that beast was stitched together, inherently carrying a curse?"
No.5 fell silent. Before the summoning, he truly did not know.
Feeling the overwhelmingly ominous aura and the burning of his life force,
he naturally believed that even if he had survived then, he couldn't escape death in the end; No.2 never intended for him to live. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel·fıre·net
"Do you know how the new base's information was exposed?"
"I don't know either..."
"Because when you returned to the base and fought No.1, someone contacted Jinlan Mountain, exposing the new base's location. Jinlan Mountain's strongmen came for revenge.
After No.1 died, I exchanged secrets for your life.
But it's already too late; you're going to die, and there's no saving you."
No.5 was a bit dazed, the information was overwhelming, so much so that he couldn't bother to ask how No.1 ended up in enmity with people from Jinlan Mountain.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Retaliate, leak what you know in the most explosive way possible. No.2 is no longer part of our organization; he betrayed us, but we no longer have the power to kill him, we can only use this method."
No.5 felt shaken and a bit lost.
"You should be able to live for three more days, take a day to go home and have a look, here's your information."
New Five took out a Jade Scroll, No.5 reached out, paused in mid-air, then retracted after a long hesitation.
"Forget it, it's better not to know."
He took the Spiritual Medicine, regaining some strength, and left on his own.
Two days later, he appeared at the gates of the Ministry of Justice in Daqian, with his bright white water egg head, knocking on the Petitioning Drum at the entrance.
