God of Tricksters

Chapter 1512 Shock

"The mission is completed and there is no witness." These are the words that Yermolayev told him after his return.

Alexej believed it since he had seen the funeral and the fact that the prince couldn't do anything meant there was truly no witness.

But to think there was a witness, even Alexej didn't expect it. It was a huge blunder. Alexej's heart beat rapidly because he never thought that he would be found out here.

'Yermolayev, you bastard. No, I'll just tell everyone that Yermolayev is the culprit.' Alexej thought while glaring at the UK's representative. He wanted to shut him up, but he didn't think it would be possible, considering the distance between them. And the proof was in the video, which should have been recorded in the UK too, so it was impossible to get rid of them.

"Who is the culprit?" The representative from France wasn't that patient and asked.

"The witness told us five words, which could be seen from the video. I'm sure it's pretty clear from her lips' movement." The UK's representative showed the video to everyone in this place.

They could see the weak woman lying down on the bed. It was truly Richard's bodyguard, and she was still alive. She opened her mouth for a moment, weakly muttering those five words. Because she was too weak, the camera couldn't get her voice, but looking at the movement of the lips alone was enough for them to understand it.

"Masked, Punch, Torrential, Magic, Power."

Leonardo furrowed his eyebrows and repeated those words in a low voice, "Masked, Punch, Torrential, Magic, Power?"

As expected from the War Saint, he was the first one to figure it out as he suddenly asked, "Wait a minute. How many people from the Griffith Family managed to rank up their skill?"

"One out of twelve."

"What are you talking about, Leonardo? Why are you bringing the Griffith Family into this conversation?" Since Haiskal Hetson, Mason Griffith's second identity, came from Finland, the representative from this country obviously spoke up as he was also from the Griffith Family too.

"Griffith Family… Ah!" Flora was the second person to realize Leonardo's question. "Leonardo, you…"

"Yes!" Leonardo nodded with a serious expression. "I believe what she meant was like this. The assailant was wearing a mask, which represented the first word. Punch meant punching, and that punch caused a torrential Magic Power, representing the last three words."

In that instant, everyone understood because there was one punch that could actually defeat a Mythical Rank Expert in an instant.

"Magic Saint Fist Style." One of them uttered the real identity of the culprit. They sucked a cold breath because they realized this assassination was a grudge from the Griffith Family, who couldn't upgrade their skills.

And the Griffith Family was known to be cruel, so they could see why Richard also died in a brutal way. There were many points connecting the assassination to the Griffith Family.

The UK's representative nodded with a serious expression. "Yes. The prince suspects them as well. And if I remember, the Griffith Family is supporting the Lexon Group.

"This assassination might be a plot those two devised so that they can put the Lexon Group in that position. I wonder if the Griffith Family is planning to take over the base for their own purpose without even thinking of anyone else."

The situation had been turned around. This time, the Lexon Group and the Griffith Family were getting pushed back. As long as the witness recovered, she could continue her story. But those five words were enough to describe the suspect.

"I wonder if the Griffith Family has an explanation for us? We're also demanding the same thing from the Lexon Group." The UK's representative glared at both Alexej and Finland's representative.

"There is no concrete proof, and you dare to accuse us like this? The witness can't even say a complete sentence, so it's easy to misunderstand her. We have to investigate this matter thoroughly first." Finland's representative stated with a calm expression.

"No concrete proof, huh… Isn't that what you're good at, Griffith Family?"

"!!!" Everyone suddenly remembered that the prince couldn't do anything because there was no proof. All clues had been pointing at the Griffith Family. It would be hard for them to explain the situation, and they could only remain silent this time.

"After looking at it, we have also noticed a weird behavior from the Lexon Group's Young Master, Ricky Nixon." He raised his hands and opened a few pictures. "We have found him talking to the Empress and Yermolayev. If I recall correctly, Yermolayev was also one of the chosen people… I wonder what he was doing there?"

The Griffith Family and the Lexon Group had been pushed to the corner by all the clues. Even they couldn't form up an argument that could make others suspect something else since everything had pointed at the Griffith Family.

Obviously, the Lexon Group couldn't blame the Griffith Family either, considering Alexej would pay a huge price for doing it. But there was a chance for the Griffith Family to exploit.

And that chance came when the UK's representative suddenly said, "In that case, I hope that the union can authorize us to interrogate Ricky Nixon and Yermolayev."

"That's indeed a good idea. If we're going to stabilize the base and expand it, we have to clear out some weeds first. After all, no talented person with a unique talent that can strengthen the base will appear if they know they'll die and the culprit will be free. It's for the sake of the base." Leonardo nodded in agreement, showing a logical argument.

Everyone believed that was the case until someone interrupted them.

*Bang!*

Suddenly, someone rushed to the room and shouted, "Emergency!"

Everyone's attention was directed to this guy. Even Alexej thought he could keep their attention to him so that everyone forgot about this discussion. At the very least, it would be easy to steer the conversation from this point on.

However, no one, especially Alexej, would expect this. The guy who intruded on their meeting walked to him and gave him a picture.

When Alexej saw the picture, he was stunned and dropped the picture. His face was pale and horrified as if he had just seen a ghost.

Those around him could see the falling picture on the ground and saw Ricky dying the same way as Richard.
