Chapter 922 - 923: Finding the Killer
Outside the Heavenly Dragon Restaurant.
"What is Black Fox’s background?" Ye Wudao asked.
"This guy is said to be a legendary thief, never had a failed heist! A powerhouse in his own right, at the Unity Realm Stage. It’s even rumored that he once stole a cherished crystal teacup from the Dragon King," Long Mie explained, then paused, a look of puzzlement crossing his face. "What’s strange is, he hasn’t stolen anything for decades. Word was he had washed his hands of the thieving life. Him suddenly stealing your blade this time, I suspect..."
"Someone is pulling the strings from behind the scenes," Ye Wudao said.
"Exactly, that’s what I think too!" Long Mie nodded in agreement.
"Long Mie, who do you think is behind this?" Ye Wudao asked with a sly smile.
Long Mie thought for a moment and said, "Your stunning performance at the Dragon Clan’s Grand Competition has made you the hot favorite to win the championship this year! At this critical moment, there are only two people who could feel threatened by you."
"Let’s hear it!"
"The genius from the White Dragon Clan, Dragon Bai. He’s only at the initial stage of the Unity Realm and far from being your match!" Long Mie said, his gaze suddenly sharpening. "I know who it is now—His Highness Long Zhan. He’s the most likely suspect!"
"Heh, as long as I catch Black Fox, everything will become clear!" Ye Wudao said with a smile.
