The Return of the God of War [The Protector] Chapter 3448

Chapter 3448 Seize All Of Them The moles in the Esoteric Guild were seized in a short time. “If our plan remains on the right track, we've seized important clues! Soon, we'll be able to figure out the mastermind in the Esoteric Guild behind everything!” Solocus said. However, someone reported some bad news to Solocus soon. “Master Solocus, bad news! The moles were all murdered when being transported! Some mysterious fighters had killed all of them in the shadows! They acted so quickly that we couldn't withstand their attack!” “What? Did you say all moles are dead?” Solocus' expression turned grim upon hearing it. As soon as something occurred to him, Solocus shouted, “Hurry! The four persons are in imminent danger!” With that, Solocus headed toward the detention center hastily. When Solocus arrived at the entrance of the detention center, all he saw were four corpses. Jake and the other three persons were already murdered. “Who did it?” Solocus asked coldly. “Master Solocus, they assassinated all four of them at lightning speed! I think they could be assassins from Hell's Gate!” “Yes, I think they are from the assassin organization that belongs to the Ecclesiastic Order!” At that time, more people arrived at the detention center. It turned out that the same thing happened— some assassins murdered all prisoners when they were transported. “We suspect the fighters come from assassin organizations such as Hell's Gate, Zar, and Bloodleaf. Also, they vanished once they successfully killed the prisoners! It appears that someone has it all planned out!” Meanwhile, one of them asked doubtfully, “Master Solocus, could it be that the mastermind is not from the Esoteric Guild? After all, the assassins are from the Ecclesiastic Order!” “He's right. It has nothing to do with the Esoteric Guild, right? As everyone began to have doubts, Solocus glared at them and argued, “If you guys are from the Esoteric Guild, will you murder someone openly? Instead, hiring assassins from the Ecclesiastic Order is the best choice!” After Solocus pointed it out, everyone nodded in realization. Initially, many of them had doubts about the Esoteric Guild's role. After the two recent incidents, they believed that the Esoteric Guild was most likely the mastermind. “Curse the Esoteric Guild! How dare they lay a finger on us! They must have a death wish!” Solocus was exasperated. “Master Solocus, what should we do now? Should we declare war against the Esoteric Guild now?” The crowd was curious. How can the Ecclesiastic Order tolerate this? Much to everyone's surprise, Solocus rejected it. “No way! We need to discuss further and continue investigating the matter! After all, we're not entirely sure about it for now. What if we're wrong? Besides, what if Levi and other forces grab the chance to go up against us once we declare war against the Esoteric Guild? “As far as I know, the Esoteric Guild might be on par with us in terms of strength. Both sides will suffer heavy losses if we were to fight them now!” Solocus paused for a while and said, “Our goal now is to confirm whether the Esoteric Guild is the mastermind. Hence, we need complete evidence to prove it!” As Solocus was always cautious, he refused to make any hasty conclusion despite multiple pieces of evidence, for he wanted to be entirely sure about it. “Let's see if we can find anything near the Esoteric Guild...” From then, Solocus expanded the search for more evidence. Just as Solocus had hoped for, more clues surfaced two days later. The dead bodies of the Three Sages of North Pavilion were found near the Esoteric Guild. The entire Ecclesiastic Order was in havoc once they realized that the Three Sages were seized and killed by the Esoteric Guild. As expected, everyone in the Ecclesiastic Order was furious when the bodies of the Three Sages were brought back. All the more so, there were apparent signs that the Three Sages were tortured before being killed. The bodies were already dried up by the time they found the Three Sages. With the fresh evidence, everyone believed that the Esoteric Guild was responsible for everything. “Furthermore, they even absorbed the power of the Three Sages of North Pavilion. How could it be...” Solocus murmured with a grim expression. Miles away, Levi also received the news that the bodies of the Three Sages of North Pavilion were discovered near the Esoteric Guild. “Oh? It doesn't seem right! If I were the mastermind, I would've burned the bodies of the Three Sages!” Levi couldn't help but have doubts about the incident.
