Chapter 398: Ancient History (2)
There were far, far too many strings attached to Miracle. When Si Fang massacred that most important planet, countless people in the army and the government must have gone crazy. It was no wonder that she was demoted and locked up in a prison afterward.
At her level, massacring a planet was neither too significant nor insignificant a matter. It was all about the reason; a reason that could decide whether the culprit lived or died. Looking at the outcome, it was clear that the army and the government found a “reason” that landed Si Fang and a portion of her subordinates in prison.
“Si Huang…” Cillin recalled a key figure of the matter.
“Si Huang and Si Fang shared different ideologies and paths. Because of this, they tried to stay out of each other’s way as much as possible. Si Huang wanted to intervene after Si Fang was imprisoned, but Si Fang rejected his offer. Furious and irritated, Si Huang decided to leave her to her fate.”
“Several months later, the fire happened. Si Huang did not intervene because he was busy with something with the Grim Reapers. Later, when he had to fall aslumber due to a personal reason, he did not allow his Grim Reapers to intervene either. That said, the first thing he did after awakening was to kill Oros.”
Oros was one of the Heavenly Edict Generals; the one Lung told Cillin that Si Huang had taken out before. At the time, Cillin did not understand why Si Huang had taken out that Heavenly Edict General. Now, he realized that it was to take revenge for Si Fang. Oros most likely had something to do with that fire.
Yin Wushe said with obvious schadenfreude, “Oros was furious when he learned that Si Fang had annihilated Miracle’s planet, but he couldn’t just execute her because of her merits. So, he resorted to an underhanded method instead.”
“Is Si Huang that strong?” Cillin asked. A Heavenly Edict General was strong not just because of their individual abilities, but also the sheer amount of people they commanded. Assassinating Oros was anything but easy.
“Heh, now you’re asking the right questions. As you say, things would not have gone so smoothly had Si Huang tried to assassinate Oros alone, not unless he chose to drag everyone in Grim Reaper into it. He didn’t need to though since someone supplied him with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. That person is Wei Ting.”
