Chapter 373
There were multiple names given to label the unprecedented disaster caused by Wurgen. Though, in the end, the one that everyone settled on was “Black Tower Incident,” a metaphorical description of the phenomenon that emerged worldwide.
As for the reasons behind it, there were countless unsettling speculations such as Wurgen had tried to turn all of humanity into undead or he had sought global domination.
However, it was all silenced when the Heroes Association released an official statement.
“Our investigation revealed that this incident was orchestrated by Julia Kruger and other executives of the UD Group in collaboration with the Demon Force...”
According to them, the incident was a coup staged by Wurgen’s offspring to seize the UD Group’s authority and resources. While the second son, one of the primary suspects, disappeared without a trace, all the other conspirators were apprehended by the Association—quickly calming public opinion.
After all, the incident itself was shocking, but there were no casualties, which allowed the matter to settle relatively smoothly. Furthermore, Wurgen’s official successor, Richard, had smoothly inherited the UD Group as per Wurgen’s will.
With everything going smoothly, the investigation results were released, and only then did Richard hold a funeral service.
“The deceased devoted his life to humanity’s safety and progress...”
The funeral was held at the Pilgrimage Church branch in Munich, Germany. Inside the enormous cathedral, the ceremony proceeded solemnly as influential figures from around the world watched in attendance.
There were so many they filled the place, but among all the mourners, the ones that drew the most attention were naturally the Perfect Ones.
A funeral service conducted by the Pilgrim himself... that’s something.
