Chapter 1094: A Painstaking Investigation
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Gold and Power Law was the earliest sect that Zhang Tie touched. Due to the relationship between Zhang Tie and Donder, Gold and Power Law had been involved in his life pretty much and known him pretty well. It could be said that Gold and Power Law had witnessed him growing up from a common boy in Blackhot City to a famous knight. Gold and Power Law had known his experiences in Waii Subcontinent and his trump cards in Ice and Snow Wilderness pretty well. Actually, Gold and Power Law understood Zhang Tie better than Huaiyuan Palace.
Previously, Zhang Tie thought that the tragedy in Fuhai City was the revenge from Heavens Reaching Church because he had inflicted a heavy loss to Heavens Reaching Church in Youzhou Province. The revenge happened so fast and fiercely that he almost lost his life.
Now, he confirmed that the tragedy in Fuhai City was the revenge from Heavens Reaching Church. The culprit indeed wanted to kill Zhang Tie. However, such a fierce and merciless revenge was definitely not because Zhang Tie had inflicted a heavy loss to Heavens Reaching Church. There was one more important reason, namely, that culprit behind Gold and Power Law was clear about Zhang Tie's growth process very much. They knew his trump cards, abilities and means.
'I rose like an eye-catching comet in Waii Subcontinent. After I came to Taixia Country, I showed up prominently in the competition for Youzhou provincial governor. After that, I inflicted a heavy loss to the Heavens Reaching Church in Youzhou Province and became famous across the world. Because of my potential, growth ability, trump cards, that culprit became a bit scared as he felt a threat. Therefore, he screwed me up and wanted to kill me before I grew mature.'
'The culprit is visionary. He knew that it would be a big obstacle if I grew mature completely. What the culprit was more scared might be that he still didn't know how could I rise so fast. He couldn't even figure out my real trump cards, how could I make such earthshaking achievements in Ice and Snow Wilderness and become the savior of Slavs as was predicted by the prophet and the Great Pontiff of Slavs?'
Facing this uncertainty and the potential dangerous factors, the safest method was to kill Zhang Tie at the fastest speed. Fierce and powerful figures must be that decisive.
'The revenge between the Gobbling Party and I and the news that I was going to propose a marriage in Fan Clan in Yingzhou Province provided an opportunity for the culprit to set up Zhang Tie in Fuhai City.'
'Ironically, when I came to Yingzhou Province, I even noticed Gold and Power Law about my schedule in the identity of the dark gold manager of Gold and Power Law and prepared to use the power of Gold and Power Law when in trouble in Yingzhou Province.
'It was nothing than seeking for death.'
'Is Donder a member of Heavens Reaching Church? How much intelligence about me has Donder provided to Heavens Reaching Church?'
After figuring out the casual relationship that he had encountered in Fuhai City, Zhang Tie immediately felt clear-minded. Meanwhile, a thought occurred to Zhang Tie's mind, 'No, Donder is definitely not a member of Heavens Reaching Church. He should be innocent about that the master of Gold and Power Sect framed me.'
'Donder was just a spy of Gold and Power Law in Blackhot City. Even now, Donder is just a bright gold manager in Gold and Power Law and couldn't touch such a top secret. If Donder could know this top secret, how could the master of Gold and Power Law, also the finance minister of Taixia Country sit in this position steadily?
Not only Donder, even some managers and directors with higher levels in Gold and Power Law couldn't know there was some problem with their master.
Although Gold and Power Law was one of the top 7 sects in Taixia Country, its form of organization was greatly different than that of other sects. Its members were more like those of a club or an industry organization. Their positions in Gold and Power Law were determined by their contributions and accumulated points. The members of Gold and Power Law accomplished the objectives of the organization through cooperation instead of delivering or taking commands.
Whatever, as Hua people, most of the people were patriotic since they were born. There were many loyal and bold people in Taixia Country. Apparently, not every member of a sophisticated organization like Gold and Power Law was an upright gentleman. However, at least nobody was wanted by the Supreme Court in the Gold and Power Law. It was more like a joke if you treated every member of Gold and Power Law as a rebel and lackey of demons. To a certain extent, the members of Gold and Power Law, especially senior members were the beneficiaries of the existing orders among Hua people in Taixia Country. Of course, they would maintain these orders on their own initiatives instead of thinking about overthrowing them, which would be in contradiction with their class interests.
The founder of Gold and Power Law was the imperial court of Taixia Country and Emperor Xuanyuan. As one of the 9 ministers in Taixia Country, each financial chancellor served as the master of Gold and Power Law. Honestly, the master of Gold and Power Law was like a half-official position appointed by the imperial court and Emperor Xuanyuan. As the master of Gold and Power Law and one of the top chancellors of Taixia Country, that person could mobilize a lot of resources of Gold and Power Law for his own benefit; pull some dare-to-die soldiers over to his side in Gold and Power Law, and make many plots. However, he could never assimilate the power of Gold and Power Law as his own strength. A commander of a military region or a provincial governor of Taixia Country could not treat an entire military region or a province as his own territory and sphere of influence, when the old managers and directors resigned in Gold and Power Law, the new ones would replace them.
The problem was that how many mines had that culprit buried in Taixia Country as the financial chancellor? One of those mines had been detonated, what about the others? How many forces had that culprit pulled over to his side in Gold and Power Law?
The first question was out of Zhang Tie's ability. Zhang Tie felt that this question should be considered by the top three chancellors and Emperor Xuanyuan of Taixia Country instead of him. As for the second question, since he entered this airboat, none of those guys on this airboat was good. These guys should be the trusted subordinates of that culprit and the b*stards of Heavens Reaching Church who could know the top secrets. This young master might be that culprit's direct descendant.
Given his qi, this young master should also be an earth knight.
As he had just been in this airboat for a short while, Zhang Tie was not sure whether there was anyone above e the shadow knight in other rooms of this airboat. However, given the situation of this room, perhaps all the knights in the airboat were here. If there was any high-level knight, he should show up when Wen Haoyun and that earth knight in the black robe came back with the 4 double-headed parent puppet worms.
Zhang Tie became clear-minded when he figured out these questions.
'What should I do now?'
...
When Zhang Tie thought through everything, that young master finally turned around from the table.
Given his look, that man was at his 20s. However, now that he was already an earth knight, it was hard to judge his real age only by his look.
That man looked very handsome yet a bit evil. There were more white parts than black parts in his eyes. In a loose night robe, his whiteware-like skin and calf were exposed. Additionally, he didn't wear shoes. While barefoot, he looked a bit floppy and casual. Besides the waistband, Zhang Tie doubted that this guy wore anything inside his night robe.
When the man turned around, Zhang Tie saw his work and some bloody tools on the table.
His work was a woman's arm with hand being immersed in a transparent medicament of a sealed high special crystal bottle. Holding a flower, it was pale and lifeless like being frozen.
Watching this hand, the man let out a sigh satisfactorily before cleaning his bloody hands by a towel. At the same time, he told Wen Haoyun and that earth knight in the black robe, "This is the hand of the princess of Chequ Country in Goldenrock Subcontinent. This woman's hands were well cared since she was young. Her hands were washed by human milk since she was 8 years old. Therefore, her skin was pretty elastic. Until now, her skin was still as same as that of an 8-year old little girl. Besides, there was a local profession called bone-correction master in Goldenrock Subcontinent. Bone-correction master could gradually correct people's bone shapes and look by an external force. Bone-correction master had spent a lot of time on her hands. Therefore, her fingers looked plump and slim. When she reached her orgasm, the qi and blood in her arm were very active. Additionally, her skin looked a bit rosy. With the effect of the blood-circulation invigoration method, this hand's qi and blood could remain unchanged for a long time. Among my 200 more collections of beauties' hands, this one could at least rank top 10. Alas, I'm afraid that I could barely meet another perfect collection like this in the next few years!"
Wen Haoyun and that earth knight in black robe watched that broken arm with glassy-eyed looks as they didn't feel that a dead woman's arm was beautiful at all. However, after hearing these words, Zhang Tie felt absolutely terrified. It was his first time to meet such a pervert, sc*mbag and b*stard who enjoyed collecting woman's body parts and organs.
When Zhang Tie thought about the corpse which was carried away by the two guards under the white cloth when he entered this room while a killing intent went berserk in his mind.
How horror-struck and despaired the woman was when she was killed. The man who made love with her suddenly chopped off her arm and liked to collect it.
'What a pervert!'
'You son of b*tch!'
Zhang Tie didn't launch an attack right away; he just listened to their conversation...
