Chapter 213: I Heard You Are Looking for Me ()

~7 min read 1,219 words

Facts proved that Athena's news was not well-informed enough to know that Lin Que was the culprit.

When she walked into the reception room under the guidance of the clerk and found that Lin Que was already sitting inside, a look of surprise even appeared on her face.

"Eh? Is it such a coincidence that you are also here?"

"Yes, it's quite a coincidence."

Silently taking a sip of the tea in the cup, Lin Que replied with a calm face: "I didn't expect that we would meet again after only a few days of separation."

"Maybe this is fate."

Athena nodded slightly and looked at White Yaksha.

"You should have heard about my matter with Christianity, right."

"Of course I heard about it."

"It's good that you've heard of it, so there's no need to explain."

Athena sat down on the North North North Side and continued to speak.

"Let me tell you in advance, I am not the culprit."

"Don't worry, Athena."

White Yaksha patted her chest: "I understand your character; I believe you."

After all, the real culprit was sitting right next to her.

Glancing at Lin Que on the North North North Side, White Yaksha asked: "Did you come to find me to ask me to come forward and mediate?"

"Don't worry, as long as I come forward to speak, those guys in Christianity..."

"No mediation needed."

A sneer appeared on Athena's face: "Since they took the initiative to attack, the nature of the matter has already changed."

"Next, as long as I can guarantee the victory of the Gift Game, just let them know the consequences of provoking me."

"In fact, compared to the matter between me and Christianity, I came to find you this time mainly to ask you to help me find someone."

"Find someone?"

An ominous premonition rose in White Yaksha's heart: "Don't tell me you want to find that real culprit."

"Exactly."

Athena nodded: "The influence of the Greek god group in the lower levels can only be considered standard; if you really want to talk about intelligence, you have to look at Thousand Eyes."

"It doesn't matter how much money it costs; I hope you can help me find the real culprit, can you?"

"Don't be anxious; let me think about it."

White Yaksha looked at the opposite North North North Side thoughtfully: "Lin Que, do you think Thousand Eyes has the ability to find that final culprit?"

"As the largest commercial community in Little Garden, Thousand Eyes' business ability is beyond doubt."

Lin Que replied: "If you don't care about the cost, there is basically nothing that can be hidden from you."

"That makes sense."

White Yaksha nodded and looked at Athena again: "We have accepted your commission; as for the reward... you report a number first."

"Before reporting the number, can I ask a question first?"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Athena's gaze became cold at some point.

"This time the lower-level headquarters of Christianity was destroyed; it shouldn't have anything to do with you, right."

"Cough~ I'd better answer this question."

Lin Que inserted at the right time: "Simply summarized in one sentence, it cannot be said that it has nothing to do with us."

Athena narrowed her eyes: "Cannot be said that it has nothing to do with you—so it was done by you?"

"Smart!"

Lin Que clapped his hands and gave Athena a thumbs up.

"Worthy of the famous Goddess of Wisdom, you guessed the truth just like that; you are indeed very powerful!"

Athena: "..."

Blood pressure, rising.

To be honest, Athena didn't think she would be able to get information about the real culprit when she came to Thousand Eyes this time.

After all, although Christianity was causing trouble, they had also conducted a full investigation before causing trouble.

Even they couldn't find any traces and could only forcibly lock the culprit onto her, which showed how hidden the real culprit was.

If there were no accidents, this matter would likely become a headless cold case in a short time, just like Nameless being attacked by an unknown Demon King a year ago.

As a result... reality slapped Athena hard, letting her understand what cruelty is.

She not only got information about the real culprit, but even found the real culprit himself directly.

"Ma~ don't look at me with those man-eating eyes."

Seeming to have no self-awareness as the culprit, Lin Que leisurely stuffed a piece of dessert into his mouth.

"To be honest, this matter really can't be blamed on me; I didn't intentionally throw the pot onto you."

"Of course I know that."

After listening to Lin Que's explanation, Athena also understood the ins and outs of the matter.

"After all, Sariel was hidden so well; under normal circumstances, no one would have thought he was a four-digit anomaly."

"And according to your description, he possessed two bodies that could quickly regenerate and cooperate with each other; his ability was relatively restraining to you."

"To be able to detect the truth and solve him in just a few minutes, and even clean up the traces at the scene... I seem to understand a little why Christianity would exclude you from the suspect list."

"Indeed."

White Yaksha, who previously only knew the result but not the specific process, also nodded.

"Now I understand too."

To defeat Sariel, two requirements must be met.

One is strong intelligence ability, being able to realize Sariel's true situation in a short time and understand that the other party had a total of two bodies.

The other is strong combat power, being able to pick out both bodies at the same time and finally solve them together.

In the eyes of outsiders, Lin Que is just a pure-blooded dragon species with relatively strong physical fitness and possibly a four-digit anomaly.

To achieve this step solely based on physical fitness, one must at least have a level close to two digits.

For Christianity to suspect a newcomer who had just arrived in Little Garden for a month of having strength close to two digits, that was somewhat unrealistic.

Rather than believing that Lin Que had strength close to two digits, they would rather believe that Athena was the real culprit.

First, Athena's relationship with Christianity is not good, and she had the motive.

Second, Athena has the Wisdom Godhead, satisfying the premise of noticing the truth.

Third, Athena, as a veteran three-digit powerhouse, had the strength to solve both of Sariel's bodies at the same time.

Combining these factors, never mind Christianity, even White Yaksha began to suspect if Athena did it.

"Originally, I thought Christianity didn't care who the culprit was and was just taking the opportunity to make trouble and deliberately find fault with the Greek god group."

"But now it seems that they might really think you are the murderer."

White Yaksha scratched her head, a thoughtful expression appearing on her face: "Athena, what are you going to do next?"

"Are you going to hand Lin Que over to clear your own suspicion? Or are you going to continue to stalemate with Christianity and conduct a Gift Game?"

"White Yaksha, the decision-making power for this matter is not with me."

Athena looked at Lin Que motionless: "What to do next depends on him."
