Then why would he want to kill you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know him, I don’t even know who’s in this new Guard Team.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imilo interrupted their conversation with a gesture, saying directly, “Shiraz, you know this person, now take your squad and capture him. If he resists, you are authorized to kill on sight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!” Shiraz responded, touching the hilt of his sword as he walked out, calling two squads with him to go and capture the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imilo turned around, “Continue asking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng nodded and turned back to the corpse, “Greco, what exactly did you say to them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse answered, “Kidnap the tavern owner and lure out the person behind the scenes, five Gold Coins afterwards.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five Gold Coins, an amount that seems small, but far exceed the normal bounty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To capture a tavern owner was already a princely sum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng continued, “Before seeing me, did you know who was behind the tavern owner?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I hadn’t shown up, what was your next step?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corpse answered, “Kill the person, bury the body, go back and get the money.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Apart from ‘Greco’, who are the main players?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No one else, I only know him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After five questions, the body lay back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Investigator began to make notes rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Wu Heng cast “Communicate with the Dead” on the second corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He confirmed the identity of the instigator as well as a few other issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The responses were nearly the same as the first one’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five people were hired by this ‘Greco’ to directly abduct ‘Millicent’ from the Tavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they had no idea that this matter was related to the association, thinking it was just a simple case of abduction and murder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had known, they most likely wouldn’t have taken the job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It seems that it was indeed this ‘Greco’ who did it,” Wu Heng concluded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others looked at him with surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few questions to the second corpse also clarified the situation for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone was captured at dusk, and by nighttime rescue was already underway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had killed a squad themselves and rooted out the mastermind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of speed was that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You didn’t tie them up that fast, did you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the others were astonished, the Investigator kept on taking notes diligently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imilo looked at him, “Do you have any disputes with the Guard Team?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not that I know of, I’ve never even spoken to them!” Wu Heng replied, then added with some doubts, “A few days ago, someone from the Guard Team came to where I was staying for an inspection and got blasted away by the Skeleton, but that shouldn’t be enough to want me dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It wouldn’t be over something so trivial,” Imilo said flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng thought the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then it could possibly be because of the ‘Secret Cultivation Hall’ or the blank envelope, due to some cases before where I made enemies with them,” he conjectured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean to say, this leader is part of those organizations?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s the only explanation I can think of. I haven’t had much contact with those forces, but if they tracked me to Conch Tavern, it means they’ve been investigating me for quite some time,” Wu Heng analyzed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, your analysis makes sense,” Imilo acknowledged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During their conversation, a squad member hurried in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Steward, Vice-executive, Greco has been found at the harbor, fighting with Vice-executive Shiraz,” the member reported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the harbor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was trying to leave the harbor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was indeed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Steward, what should we do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imilo said, “Capture him, before the island’s Guard Team can intervene. Bring him back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng, with Skeleton by his side, quickly walked out of the cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went up to the deck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze turned toward the location of the public harbor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Ligui, clasping the Longsword with magic circles spinning around her feet, agilely and quickly launched assaults, attacking the young man opposite her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other few members of the team were also coordinating the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man on the other side, wearing a gray cloak, kept retreating while fending off the Society’s encirclement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng had actually seen him before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And had a fairly deep impression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, when he brought “Philippa” to visit her mother, this man was delivering a speech at the harbor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The content was average, but there was a group of ladies and noblewomen cheering along below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even took a special look at his face back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is he “Greco”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know him at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, the man was coping with the attack from Xi Ligui and the other members. Although continuously retreating, he was still holding on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His strength was definitely above level 12.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the human world, he was considered a genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng, accompanied by Skeleton, disembarked and pushed through the crowd, hastily making his way over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I am the Captain of the Gold and Silver Island Guard Team, and you have no right to arrest the captain of a local government.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xi Ligui, recognize your strength. If I have to be destroyed, you won’t benefit either,” the man said while fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw Wu Heng and the Attendant behind him, his expression turned even uglier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knocked away “Xi Ligui” with his Longsword, took two steps back, and suddenly ripped a scroll from his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blizzard rose in the midst, blowing everyone around haphazardly and obscuring their vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s trying to escape,” a Ranger shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng quickly ran laterally, avoiding the blizzard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand and fired a gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang bang bang~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of gunfire rang out, and the running captain of the Guard Team staggered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thigh, buttocks, lower back, all took a bullet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Ligui burst through the blizzard, emerged rapidly, and rushed to his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Longsword was placed at the man’s neck, “Don’t move. The Steward said we can kill you right here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scroll’s effect vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team members also rushed over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take him to the Steward,” a team member ordered, escorting the man toward the direction of the ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s gaze, however, was glaring full of spite towards Wu Heng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greco said through gritted teeth, “I just captured a woman, paying her some money should suffice, no need to turn it into this mess.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What you’re doing is completely against the rules; I am the captain of the island’s Guard Team. Your Society is arresting people without any proper justification.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The interrogation continued to yield no results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greco stubbornly clung to one point, that he was at most a lecher who took a fancy to the tavern owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He claimed no involvement in the Society’s affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And professed complete ignorance of any connection with the Society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng looked towards Imilo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they were proceeding according to the Society’s protocol, the next step depended on Imilo’s decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill him, and use ‘Communicate with the dead’!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1319,"2026-05-30T04:42:23.945Z","2026-06-01T04:30:19.980Z",1,"novelbin.me","2e79a0ffc7a497e5176225812bfe841da7e21b7b0b29308b07396283ab42b7d9","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-526","the-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-chapter-524",1714,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-necromancer-is-amassing-troops-like-crazy-in-cover.jpg",{"terms":25},[]]
