The reason why I mentioned about the location where the food was stored... Was because I was baiting the spy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I needed to make sure that there are no traitors in this close circle... And I am sad to tell you all that there is one traitor here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A member of the Grinding Griefs, Devon, snuck into the Old Bakery and tried burning it down to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I stopped him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della said with a serious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took a moment for everyone to register her words, and they couldn’t believe that there was actually a traitor among someone that they trusted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"FOR FUCK’S SAKE!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock roared and looked at the group of players seated around the table, and his voice sounded angrier than ever before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Fang Raon hadn’t seen him like this before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How much did it take for you to sell your souls to those bastards? Huh? Whoever you are, traitor, you’re fucking dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock growled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked at each other, and all had the same thought—is this guy the traitor or her?—None of them trusted each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are only three people in this room that I trust wholeheartedly. Who definitely aren’t traitors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waylen, Rickard, Owen, Adam, and Fang Raon turned to look at her, all wondering, \"Who are those three?\" with raised eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My grandfather is the first one. He is my family, and he would never betray me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miranda is the second one. She helped me to hide the food in the first place, and if she were a traitor, they would’ve known about Old Bakery long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the third one... Fang Raon. He is the newest member of us here, and I’ve known that there is a traitor for many months already, feeding information to our enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So it cannot be him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Reasonable conclusion.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought to himself with a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rock also nodded as he also agreed with those three and knew that it was impossible for Fang Raon to be a traitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t think he was that kind of a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The rest of you—I want you to show your chat history. For the information to get to Grinding Grief and Monsieur Rascal that quickly, you must’ve sent them a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Show me and prove your innocence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della said with a serious look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waylen opened his chat window, and sent it over to Della, and she glanced over it, and looked at him with a tired look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? I am just flirting with some girls, it’s not that bad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waylen innocently shrugged his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam also sent his chat window over to her, and it was quite empty except for occasional messages to the members of his team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rickard, your turn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rickard pulled open his chat window, and looked like he was about to send it, but at that moment, he suddenly jumped to his feet, and grabbed Miranda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put her in a chokehold and pulled out his sword, which he placed against her back—the tip of the blade pressed against her skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s you?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone exclaimed and all got into arms and pointed them at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Rickard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Della’s eyes shook with a look of betrayal in her eyes as she still held a tiny linger of belief that nobody of her close friend circle actually betrayed her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought that there was a chance that some of them might’ve accidentally leaked it to their team members and that one of them was the traitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, it was obvious who the traitor was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You outplayed me, Della~ I thought about possibility that my cover would be blown if I revealed the information to them...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was already ready to change sides either way, but I guess you forced my hand, Della.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rickard smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woof! Woof! Woof!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, Rock summoned two of his meanest-looking hounds, and they were barking loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miranda’s face turned pale as she could feel the coldness of the blade pressing her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...Ah.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon looked towards the ceiling, where his camera was still floating, as he completely forgot to stop recording.\u003C\u002Fp>",1245,"2026-06-06T02:35:08.437Z",1,"novelbin.me","fa4be9f9912496c8282dd18f97bb0f1b69cbadcff10959ea8a02ad6451c3f823","black-online-chapter-129","black-online-chapter-127",270,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fblack-online-cover.jpg"]
