Chapter 707 Tournament (16)

That silence didn't last long however as one of the watches suddenly started to ring.

The person whose watch rang immediately turned to his watch and after a moment of shock, he immediately answered it.

He roared out in an impatient voice, "What is going on over there? Why didn't you answer?!"

The other side immediately replied, "My apologies, but there were some strange fluctuations that came from around the manor when the call came. We were unable to pick up since we were investigating the strange fluctuations."

The person then asked, "Is everything fine now?"

The other side replied, "Yes my lord. There was nothing found and the young master is safely in his room."

The person let out a sigh of relief before saying, "Keep your vigilance and alert me immediately if anything happens."

"Yes my lord."

After that, the call hung up as everyone turned to look at the trainer.

The trainer had a look of surprise on his face, but that look didn't remain long. He revealed a wicked smile again and said, "You might have been able to stop one, but that doesn't…"

Before he could finish, there were two more watches that suddenly started to ring.

Both of the people whose watches rang immediately picked up the call.

As expected, it was the same report that the first person received. They hadn't been able to pick up because of strange fluctuations and they had only just finished checking the area to find nothing, which was why they had called now.

There was nothing for them to report since everyone there was still fine.

After these reports finished, they turned back to look at the trainer.

The trainer still had a smile on his face, but it was clear by the looks in his eyes that he was starting to panic. Still he forced out a laugh as he said, "You really think that it's all over just because…"

This time, he didn't even get to make a threat as three more watches suddenly started to ring.

It was the same as before, there were strange fluctuations that had been detected which was why they couldn't answer. However, they all reported that nothing was wrong in the end.

The trainer's eyes were almost popping out at this point when he heard this.

He had hope earlier since there were only those three reports, which meant that there were still three more targets left. However, with these three new reports, it meant that they had completely failed their mission.

There were only six targets that weren't at the arena.

He was supposed to be the one that took care of the ones in the arena, but failing his mission meant that the total mission had half failed.

Still, he had been confident since there was no way that they would be able to stop the rest of his companions.

But now it seemed like they had completely failed this mission.

The trainer's expression changed many times during this until he finally couldn't help saying, "What is going on here?!"

Hearing this, the others in the room felt much more relieved. After all, if the trainer still had some other plan, he wouldn't be acting this way.

It was at this time that old man Qiao finally spoke.

"It seems like you're still very confused why you failed."

Everyone turned to look at old man Qiao when he said this, especially the trainer who could tell that something was off.

He looked at old man Qiao for a bit before asking, "What do you mean?"

It wasn't that he couldn't understand the words that old man Qiao was saying, but he couldn't understand why old man Qiao was saying these words.

As far as they knew, there shouldn't have been any indications of their plans, so why did it sound like that they already knew about their plan?

Did someone leak it?

When Lin Fan saw this, he couldn't help feeling the urge to slap his forehead…

This man clearly didn't remember what he did yesterday, even though it was such a dumb thing.

This just made Lin Fan even more confused.

Why did they think that they would get away with it if they were going to discuss their plan in public? What made them so confident?

Old man Qiao just shook his head and said, "You don't even know this, it really is surprising that you were even able to get this far…"

It was clear that old man Qiao was feeling the same thing.

After all, Lin Fan had already told him everything, including how he had learned about their plan…

This made him feel even more ashamed since if it wasn't for Lin Fan, perhaps this trainer's plan would have succeeded since they didn't know anything about it.

It seemed like there really was a big problem with their surveillance network lately, he would have to double check this when he went back.

Old man Qiao gave a sigh before turning his attention back to the trainer and saying, "Alright, just tell us who you are working for and we'll make it easy for you. It's clear that you're not the one who planned this, so there's no need for you to suffer. As long as you tell us who the mastermind is, it'll be better for you."

The trainer looked tempted for a second, but then as if he had suddenly remembered something, his expression filled with terror as he said, "You think that I would betray my master that easily? You must be a fool."

Old man Qiao knitted his brows when he saw this.

After all, the trainer's reaction was just too strange to ignore.

It was clear that the master behind him was a very powerful person that was targeting the twelve great factions. It was very likely that the master was someone who came from another upper realm, which was why they were targeting the twelve great factions.

Not to mention that he had been able to use illusions to fool them earlier.

Old man Qiao was in the True Soul Realm, one of the people at the peak of this entire upper realm, but he had been fooled by the illusions.

This trainer was only someone in the Child Soul Realm, so it was impossible that he was able to use his own laws to fool them. There was no doubt that he had used some kind of artifact to fool them with his illusions.

However, no matter how they had searched, they hadn't been able to find it.

That at least meant that the master of this trainer was someone at the same level as them…or at an even higher level.

The other experts from the twelve great factions naturally recognized this as well, so they started backing old man Qiao up as they interrogated the trainer.

However, no matter what tactics they used, the trainer never showed any signs of relenting. There was only that one moment of temptation in the beginning before he completely ignored all the offers that they offered him.

Seeing as they had no other choice, they decided that it was better to leave this trainer to the professionals to see if they could get any information out of him.

After all, these experts weren't professional interrogators (torturers) and they had people for jobs like this, so it was better to leave it to them.

However, before the trainer could be taken away, something suddenly happened to him.

Without any warning, the trainer's eyes popped open and he suddenly started coughing out blood.

Everyone was stunned to see this happen as there had been no changes in the life energy in the surrounding area. They had been on alert and they hadn't been able to sense any attacks, so why was he suddenly coughing out blood?

The trainer looked around himself as he shouted, "Master, I can still be useful, I can still be useful! Please spare me!"

But as he was shouting, there was smoke that came from his chest.

Everyone watched on in horror as the man started to melt from the inside as melted pieces of him started to drip onto the floor.

It was clearly a very painful experience, but he never screamed in pain even once.

Until the very moment that he died, he kept shouting out begging for his master to spare him, but in the end, he was still completely melted.

There was only a pool of melted flesh and blood that was left on the ground.

Inside of a dark room.

A man with red hair had been lying on a couch when he suddenly looked up as if he had sensed something.

After a moment of pause, the red haired man suddenly sat up on the couch and raised his hand up. When he did, there was a panel of light that appeared that had several strange symbols on it.

The red haired man ignored all of this as he flicked his hand to the right in front of the pane several times.

Each time that he flicked his hand, the image on the panel changed like it was flipping a page.

Finally, he came to a page that had several red dots on it, but also a few dots that had faded out.

He narrowed his eyes to look at the screen for a bit before muttering to himself, "Hmm, it seems like the puppet I was playing around with died."

A man with blue hair sitting cross legged on the floor suddenly opened his eyes to look at the red haired man with a cold look as he said, "Did you take care of the remains?"
