Dark King

They had never heard of such a thing. They didn’t think that Dudian would know about it. Apparently the other side’s intelligence network was more extensive than theirs. It had infiltrated deeper into the inner wall!

Everyone was secretly apprehensive. They felt that it was very likely that Dudian would solve the problem of the dark speaker. Moreover Dudian’s strength had far surpassed the level of a hunter. If he didn’t have a background in the inner wall then he wouldn’t have such a powerful strength.

It must be known that only the inner wall had God’s marrow. Although they could exchange it through secret channels but the price was expensive and the amount was small. It would take a long time to accumulate enough to help people break through the hunter’s limit.

Dudian squinted his eyes as he asked the question. His wide vision was able to notice everyone at the same time.

Pluto was startled as he heard the third question. He was surprised because of the intelligence of the cold youth. He had always thought that he was the only one who knew about the information of Dudian’s adoptive parents. After all, the area where the genius lived was not far from his jurisdiction.

He had noticed the genius when he became famous. Later on, he sent people to secretly pay attention to him. From the time his adoptive mother secretly entered his castle with the medical box, he knew that the genius was suffering from some kind of disease. Moreover, it was a disease that could not be known by others!

“Secret”was usually a person’s weakness. It was the best weapon that could be used!

This was a great piece of good news for him. He could use this to make Dudian join him.

Unfortunately, he didn’t dig out the information from the woman’s mouth during the torture. When he was ready to blackmail Dudian, Dudian was taken away by the inner wall. But he didn’t expect that he wasn’t the only one who knew about this.

He secretly glanced at Dudian. Suddenly, he thought of something that he had overlooked.

He had chosen to let the news of the death of Dudian’s adoptive parents be published in the newspaper. The purpose was to let the new elder of District 9 know about it. The purpose of letting him know about the death was to verify whether he was the genius sent by the monastery. After all, it was the monastery that took Dudian away, he knew a little about the way of doing things in the monastery.

“Could it be…”he was surprised. He looked up at Dudian but saw that Dudian was also staring at him. It seemed that his eyes were directed at the depths of his heart, all his secrets were exposed.

His heart tightened. He bowed his head with a smile. His palms were sweating.

“No, no, I must have made a mistake.”Pluto thought: “That kid’s talent is extraordinary. He can’t be compared to this person. Even with the resources of the monastery he can only reach the same level as me. It is impossible for him to be so ridiculously strong. He can easily kill Night King who is a top-notch hunter. This is at least the level of a high-level limit. I should be overthinking.”

His heart gradually relaxed as he thought of Dudian’s previous two questions, “The Pope’s life preference should be to defeat the dark church and start a war with the pope. I guess he wants to get this person. After all, the power of this genius is too great. He can defeat the Barbarians by himself. He only needs to create one legendary item to match the combat power of ten or more senior hunters.”

He was completely relaxed as he thought of this. He was about to report to Dudian but he was stunned. The next moment his pupils contracted and the hairs on his body stood up.

“No!”His heart was shocked, “Why did he ask who killed the kid’s foster parents?”? His goal was to find out the information his foster parents had. Why didn’t he ask the person who killed his foster parents if they knew the news from their mouth? “Isn’t that the most important thing?”

His heart pounded wildly, but he quickly thought, “Maybe I’m overthinking it? He just wants to ask who killed his adoptive parents first, and then ask if he knows anything?”

Thinking of this possibility, he hesitated. His heart was uncertain, and his intuition told him that there was something strange about this. He pondered for a moment but chose to remain silent. He thought that he was already the vice-chairman so there was no need for him to take the credit. He didn’t want to be envied by others. Moreover if he was that kid then he would be dead!

“What? No one knows?”Dudian narrowed his eyes as he saw that no one answered.

Everyone looked at each other but no one spoke.

“Who is the elder of the fourth region?”Dudian frowned.

A middle-aged man who was covered in a black robe said: “It’s me.”

Dudian stared at him: “As far as I know, the place where they died is in your jurisdiction right?”

“Yes.”The middle-aged man said in embarrassment: “But I really didn’t pay attention to such a small figure. Who would have thought that they would know the news of the genius? If I had known earlier, I would have kidnapped them and tortured them.”

Dudian stared at him for a long time. He squinted his eyes and looked at Pluto: “What About You? Do you know anything?”

Pluto’s heart tightened: “Your Excellency, I haven’t paid attention to these small figures.”

“Really?”Dudian stared at him.

Pluto’s heart beat faster as he looked at Dudian’s threatening eyes. It seemed that his thoughts had been read. However, he had been in a high position for many years so his reaction was fast. He bowed his head and respectfully said: “Lord, I really don’t know. But I will go back and investigate this matter. I must find out the cause of their death!”

“Cause of Death?”Dudian narrowed his eyes: “Don’t you know?”

Pluto’s heart beat faster. He clenched his palm and looked up at Dudian with an innocent expression, “Lord, I really don’t know. Although I wanted to use the adoptive parents of the genius to threaten him and help the dark church to create the Divine Arts. But later on I thought that they were just adoptive parents after all. As far as I know, the genius was forced to go to the scavengers training camp not long after he was adopted by his adoptive parents. So they didn’t do that.”

“If we fail, we will be exposed and attract the attention of other forces.”

The others nodded as they heard Dudian’s words. They had similar thoughts but they had given up because of the same reason. After all, the halo of the genius was too strong, moreover, he was conferred by the Knight’s Hall. It could be said that his future was bright. It was unrealistic for him to give up his halo and join the dark church for the sake of his foster parents.

Dudian looked at him. After a moment he slowly retracted his eyes. He looked at Pluto: “Did you kill them?”

Pluto’s heart contracted as cold sweat broke out from his body. He felt that he was completely seen through by Dudian. After all, lying was something that made people feel guilty, although he was experienced enough to lie without changing his face. But this matter was related to his life and death. Dudian had exposed it in front of him. It was a kind of shock!

The next second, he reacted and said with a bitter face: “Elder, I really didn’t kill him. If I killed him, I will certainly report it to you. Please believe in my loyalty!”

Dudian looked at him for a moment and calmly said: “I believe it. It was just a joke. Don’t take it to heart.”

Pluto was about to curse in his heart: “Joke? Who is joking with you?”Although he was angry but he was sure that the person in front of him was the genius Dean!

Moreover from the time when he was appointed as the elder of the 9th region to the time when Dudian was brought into the inner wall he was almost 100% sure!

He was shocked as he thought of this. He didn’t think that a genius would grow to such a terrifying level. Especially his strength was even more terrifying than his attainments in the field of divine arts! However, he admired himself. Fortunately his reaction was fast enough. Otherwise he would have been killed!

“But why did he ask about me? Is there something about me that has been exposed?”Pluto calmed down, he decided that the first thing he would do after he went back was to silence all the people who knew about this matter, including his trusted secretary.

“That’s all for today. Everyone, please disperse. From now on, the twelve districts will not be ranked. We just need to do our jobs.”Dudian indifferently said.

Everyone looked at each other and respectfully said: “Your subordinate will take his leave.”

Dudian said to sword king: “Go and talk to the people above. Don’t make too much noise.”

Sword king immediately said: “Yes, your subordinate will go.”He jumped and climbed up the wall of the hall with his bare hands. He quickly jumped into the hole in the dome to communicate with the senior members of the Phelan family who had gathered outside.

Dudian quietly sat on the chair. His fingers gently rubbed as if he was thinking about something.

The rest of the people took their leave with Dudian. They turned around and left the hall.

Pluto didn’t dare to fall behind. He looked at dudian: “Your subordinate will take his leave too.”

Dudian’s eyes were still focused on the table. His expression didn’t change as he slowly said: “You stay first. As the deputy speaker I have something to tell you.”

Pluto was startled as he respectfully replied: “Yes.”

After a moment, the rest of the people left.

There were only Dudian and the others in the broken hall as well as the ten people under Pluto.

The cold wind blew into the hole in the dome and blew the dust on the ground. The air was silent.

Pluto looked at Dudian who was in a trance. He was a bit nervous. He wanted to speak but was afraid of being disturbed so he held back.

After a long time Dudian slowly recovered. He looked at Hades: “Come with me. I will take you to a place.”

Hades replied respectfully: “Yes.”

Dudian jumped up and went straight to the edge of the hole in the dome of the hall. He raised his hand and snapped his fingers. A slender figure jumped up from the hall and stood quietly by his side.

Dudian held her hand and slowly walked forward.

The soldiers of the FELAN family had retreated. There was no one around them. There was only blood left on the ground.

Sergei and Pluto arrived at the entrance of the FELAN family. Dudian got into the carriage and ordered to leave.

Hades also got into his own carriage. He led his guards and followed behind Dudian’s carriage.

The night was cold and silent.

It was past the curfew and there was no one on the street. There were only patrolling soldiers and noble carriages that occasionally passed by.

Dudian’s carriage gradually came to a suburb. It was getting further and further away from the bustling streets.

Hades’face slightly changed as he saw the remote section of the road. He didn’t know where Dudian was taking him. Was it his secret stronghold?

Two hours later, the carriage stopped in front of a forest.

Sergei, Glenn, Gwyneth and others looked around in confusion. They didn’t know where this place was. They had never heard Dudian mention it before.

Gabriel said to the carriage behind the curtain: “Master, this is the place you mentioned.”

Dudian lifted the curtain and looked at it. There was deep pain in his eyes. He slowly got out of the carriage and said to Pluto: “Come Down.”

Pluto had been paying attention to the situation all the way. He saw the strange and remote open place. He was more confused. At the same time he had a sense of danger. His intuition told him that he should run away immediately, but he thought of Dudian’s amazing speed and strength. He resisted the impulse and got off the carriage. He respectfully asked Dudian: “Adult, what is this place?”

“This is the cemetery of my foster parents, Jura and gray. They adopted another child.”Dudian slowly said. His voice was emotionless and cold like the wind.

Pluto heard Dudian’s words. His pupils contracted as he looked at Dudian in horror. He didn’t think that Dudian would admit it. Moreover… This was the cemetery of his adoptive parents? !

He turned and ran!

Dudian’s figure flashed and appeared in front of Pluto like a ghost. He said: “Where Are you going?”

Pluto quickly stopped his body. At the same time he quickly pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed towards Dudian’s throat.

Dudian grabbed Pluto’s wrist and gently twisted it. The sound of bones breaking was heard as Pluto’s wrist was bent in a ninety degree position.

Pluto was in extreme pain but he didn’t care so much at the critical moment of life and death. He quickly punched and spat out an object.

Dudian’s head tilted as if he had expected this. He dodged the small black object that shot out from his mouth. He grabbed his fist and twisted it again. The hand was broken.

Dudian pinched his hands and indifferently looked at him: “Are you puzzled? Why do I know that you killed him?”

Pluto’s face was red from the pain. He trembled: “It wasn’t me. I didn’t kill your adoptive parents. It wasn’t me. I can help you find the murderer. Please let me go!”
