Book 6: Chapter 424: BPA (4)
What should have been a large event fizzled out without much of a climax. However, that was only if you were to everything at face value… Those who were willing to dig deeper came out with one conclusion: The Masked Wife Stealer actually threatened to destroy the Diasho Clan if Diasho Ken stepped out of line!
It was clear to everyone involved that after disappearing for almost a year, this mysterious masked man would once more make SNN Headlines.

“He used a VIP bank card?”
A familiar council of elders gathered. It had been more than ten years since they last coalesced, and back then it was about Clara’s invention of the Internet. But, a group that had so infrequently met before somehow found it necessary to meet again on this day…
“According to key witnesses, yes. Such a thing couldn’t be faked.”
“Then won’t it be easy to figure out his identity? There are less than a thousand people total with access to such a card and those qualified are vetted with the utmost seriousness.”
“We’ve already combed through all of the records, it didn’t take long, but we didn’t find anyone matching his description perfectly. Plus, his mask disallows even us from seeing his true face.”
“Still, that narrows down his possible identities, no?”
“Maybe… Maybe not. If this young man is a comet grade expert as he claims, it’s possible for him to put protections on it even we can’t see through easily.”
A snort sounded through the room. “A 6th stage comet grade expert younger than 1000 years old? Don’t fuck with me.”
“This isn’t the most poignant point, nor is it the reason for this meeting. You all may have disdained the creation of the BPA, but you must also understand why it exists.
“Today, in order to avoid conflict, things were left as is with a very thin veil of plausible deniability. The beasts are less likely to raise an uproar considering who this man’s wife is, but as you know, some of them simply seek trouble for the sake of trouble…”
The one who was none other than the Guild Head of the Beast Masters. Considering the shimmering moonlight wrapped around his black robes… His ranking was clear.
“If you had cared so much about the trouble he would cause, why didn’t you step out to stop him personally?” A golden robed middle-aged woman wrapped in the same beautiful moonlight spoke out. Clearly, she was unhappy about the treatment of her favorite genius, Diasho Ken.
“Because that naïve little girl made a mistake. Reviewing the footage of the incident, I watched him from the moment he entered to the moment he withdrew his beasts to comply with the rules of the tower. Those beast infants might have had white fur, but they had none of the other markers of having their potential forcefully ripped out of them.
“Plus, have you ever heard of a Dark Beast Master allowing his partners to cling to him like that? What I should be asking you is why your precious disciple decided to provoke him as such. If it weren’t for his words, this situation would have blown over completely. But because of him, there’s some skepticism.”
“Are you saying his words were wrong?” The golden robed elder retorted. “They were wholly sound. He’s nothing but a womanizer, who says he treats his wife well?”
The surrounding masters rolled their eyes. The Guild Head of the Magic Masters was like an overprotective mother when it came to Diasho Ken, they weren’t even related. It was too ridiculous.
“His words were as flagrant as if I assumed you were robbing a baby’s cradle every time you spoke about Diasho Ken.” The purple robed Guild Head of the Poison Masters giggled through his hoarse voice, coughing lightly.
“What did you say to me?!”
“I’m just saying that if a Master-Student sex scandal came out revolving around you two, I wouldn’t be surprised, hehe.”
“You!” Magic circles erupted around the Guild Head. The surge of energy was so powerful that the tower floor they were on threatened to collapse despite the ridiculous number of reinforcements.
“Calm your rage and ease up on the nonsense, Fel.” The Guild Head of the Beast Master’s stepped in.
“If his beasts weren’t tortured, then what is the reason for their white fur?” An azure robed elder interjected, hoping to change the subject.
“It’s hard to tell… It’s possible that this was change evoked by his blood fusing with theirs and connected to a special bloodline he has himself. It’s also possible that he’s used precious plants in their growth as well.”
“Precious plants? Weren’t they mere Earth Grade beasts? Why?” Another elder injected.
“I we can’t be certain of that. After all, even with our soul strength, we can’t see through his Mask’s masking ability. We likely only see what he wants us to see. The trouble with all of this is that if the beasts become interested enough in his methods due to this story blowing up, they’ll definitely use the excuse your precious disciple laid out for them.
“This would have been swept under the rug if Diasho Ken’s threat never happened, because then it wouldn’t have been worthy of SNN.”
The room became silent. It was only now they understood what the problem was. Anyone with half a brain would realize that Dyon hadn’t tortured his partners… But, a beast clan would definitely become very much interested in the methods he used to purify his partners to such an extent and might even pressure BPA into taking action lest they declare a righteous war on the humans.
If that happened… The most glaring problem wouldn’t be here in their homelands, but rather… On the Ancient Battlefield…
While all of this was happening, Dyon was completely oblivious.
He had already made his way to Celestial Deer Corner and had entered the cultivation room directly beside Clara’s. It was time to awaken his constitutions.
