Chapter 127: Reckless Action
Julian was suddenly interested in this case. Initially, he was only here to make some rounds. Since he was the one in charge of the search, he had to step out and at least look like he was doing something.
He couldn’t just lounge at home all day. He had to show that he was putting in effort. This visit was supposed to be a simple one.
They had received a report of a ’suspicious’ Foundation Establishment realm cultivator. In reality, this individual was simply someone who fit the criteria they were looking for.
A rogue cultivator with no backing and connections. He was the perfect fit when they needed someone to take the blame. The plan was simple.
They would announce that they had found the one responsible for the beast tide, while presenting his body to Bella and Elder Glenda. They were obviously not going to present an alive individual to them.
They would simply claim that he was too tough and they had they couldn’t capture him without using lethal force. It was a flimsy excuse, but without any evidence, they would have no choice but to accept it.
Anyways, that was just the plan if they didn’t find the intended person. Who knows, they could get lucky and find the actual person.
But now, this situation they found themselves in was unexpected. It was as if the person knew they were coming and intentionally fled. Even if he was being lazy, there were some things Julian would still take seriously.
"What did this man look like?" Julian finally asked after a moment of silence. Hearing the question, the inn manager’s face made a strange expression.
GULP!
He swallowed loudly before he responded.
"I-I don’t know." He said hesitantly.
