Chapter 145: So What If He

In the video.

Sha Jin explained.

【This Grand Duke of Netherflame is a fire demon from Tophet, an elemental lifeform said to have ties to a certain genius........】

【He and his followers formed the Eternal Flame Manor, regarding Narnuk as their benefactor—though in truth they were led by this Grand Duke, roaming far and wide to burn, kill, and plunder, fulfilling the will of destruction.】

【They didn't even spare other Minmie Gang members.】

【No one knows what went wrong with the family's head—or whether someone meddled—but these fellows somehow received an invitation as well.】

【The Eternal Flame Manor naturally didn't refuse; they came roaring in, vowing to turn the Canjiasheng Society's star into a sea of fire......】

【But don't worry—they won't be showing up.】

【Do you know why?】

【—Because Aflit is dead.】

Sha Jin turned around and spoke, in an odd tone, of the Grand Duke of Netherflame's current fate.

【What happened?】

Stelle was surprised,

this Grand Duke of Netherflame sounded so formidable,

had even boasted before arriving that he'd burn Pinocony to ashes,

how could he be dead before even getting there?

【They were annihilated en route.】

【The killer murdered Aflit in a miraculous fashion and stole the invitation the Minmie Gang had received.】

【The Eternal Flame Manor disintegrated, scattering like birds and beasts—】

【Afterward, a mysterious Sea Patrol Rogue arrived at Pinocony and checked into the hotel with a music box.....】

【Do you want me to go on, friend?】

Sha Jin smiled.

【Any other evidence?】

Stelle found it hard to believe Sha Jin's word alone.

【Sea Patrol Rogues appear and vanish without a trace, rarely interacting with one another. This robe is too easy to wear—if she doesn't speak up, there's no way to prove anything.】

【The Company has ways to investigate, but it takes time.】

【So, friend, it's your turn to choose....】

【You can leave right now, instantly, without looking back, forever giving up the chance to uncover the truth.】

【Alternatively, you can accept my invitation and learn a fact—a truth capable of shattering Pinocony!】

【I need your help, so I'll wait—for you. But not for long.】

【When you're ready..... follow me.】

【As for whether to cooperate with me, decide after you've seen that truth—it's not too late......】

After saying all this,

Sha Jin gave Stelle 31 seconds to think.

Then he walked away to another place.

Fungina: "Shocked!!"

Fungina: "Another earth-shattering secret!!"

Fungina: "Young Lady Huang Quan...... is a Ling Shi?!"

Muming Palace,

Fungina listened to Sha Jin's words,

and felt as if struck by lightning!!

It had seemed at first like nothing more than a group of people invited to the Canjiasheng Society.
