Chapter 538: CLXVII. Gunpowder Incense
"The Demon I captured is far stronger than the ones Haywood received orders to deal with before. Besides the Demon, I also have three captives, geologists from Aran. I’ll find some guards and transport them here as soon as possible."
Mika knew this even without having fought in a war.
Although the front part of Drifting City was controlled by Uborio and Liszt, it was still a frontline.
Army soldiers could launch a surprise attack at any time.
And the captives were all important figures.
Fen was overjoyed when he understood the situation.
"That’s fantastic. There are indeed some obscure historical documents about the Eternal Sect that describe such matters, but as the sect’s influence grew, these accusations became pale. This is the perfect opportunity to cut ties with some of Haywood’s dark history."
Fen spent a lot of money to hire the Life Weaving Society, a professional team of Demon Hunters, to kill Haywood, just to sever ties with him completely.
In the future, whatever heinous acts Haywood commits, it has nothing to do with me.
Even so, it still felt like a thorn in the side. Such a big matter is not something that can be brushed off so easily.
The Eternal Sect was occupied by the Demon Clan for a period, and this absurd rumor turned out to be true, so now there’s a scapegoat.
