Chapter 531: A Prophet?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Huang raised an eyebrow when he saw the post published by ‘theuglytruth’. As Mr. Fu had reminded him in their video call earlier, the Purple Crow had been up to something with the Union Government in White Capital recently. However, the user had said that there would be two underground organizations going against the Union Government in the White Capital. Lin Huang suspected that the user might be telling the truth.
“What does this person know?” Lin Huang started reading the older posts that ‘theuglytruth’ had posted.
“The registration date of this user is 28 September and the first post was published on 30 September. That’s the day before the Martial Hunter College’s assessment for the new students…”
“The Martial Hunter College will be attacked by the heretics in the following days!” That was the user’s first post. There were only three persons who commented on that post, saying that the user had predicted it wrong.
The second post was published on 3 October, the day before the Union Government announced war on the Saint organization.
“The Union Government will announce a war against the Saints and fight them together with the other Union organizations!”
Many people forwarded it and commented on the post, gushing about how the prediction was finally accurate.
The third post was published on October 4, after the Union Government announced the war.
“The Saint’s core members will leave Division 7 entirely and two core members will remain as scapegoats.”
“This fella predicted that one and a half months ago?!” Lin Huang frowned after he read that.
The fourth post was published just now, past 11 p.m. after the Union Government had posted the notice. The user revealed that the first and second elders that were killed were just scapegoats for the Saints. The fifth post was a prediction about the war that would break out in the White Capital. Lin Huang read it thoroughly and realized that besides the first post that had been wrongly predicted, all the subsequent posts actually came true while the last one was still unconfirmed. In reality, the first prediction was not entirely wrong as the Saint really did disguise as the heretics and attacked the Martial Hunter College.
“Is this really a prophet or a game played by an underground organization?” Lin Huang could not tell but he thought the latter was more likely. The person must have gotten some information from the black market and released the news on purpose for some unknown reason. It also proved that the person had advanced access in the black market.
After some hesitation, Lin Huang commented anonymously, “Then, do you know which two underground organizations will fight the Union Government?”
Lin Huang waited for a while after commenting. It was almost 12.30 p.m. Seeing that there was no reply, he then shut down the page and went to bed. The next morning, there was a notification on his Emperor’s Heart Ring, so he turned it on casually.
The social media platform, Surf Net, that he was looking at last night popped out. He saw a reply from ‘theuglytruth’ on the post that he had commented on.
“It has something to do with the Saints.” The reply was sent at 1 a.m.
“It seems like the person really does know something…” Based on the person’s reply, Lin Huang was sure that the person knew what was happening.
Humans would always be curious about the unknown. Lin Huang was eager to ask the person which organization would be fighting together with the Purple Crow. However, he recalled that Mr. Fu had asked him not to get involved in the matter, so he switched off the page forcefully.
Just when he was ready to head out for breakfast after washing up, he saw Hong Zhuang standing not far from his door. She was wearing a t-shirt with a cartoon rabbit print and short jeans with a dark blue trench coat. The trench coat was less than 10 centimeters longer than her jeans, displaying her long legs.
“Morning! Did you miss me?” Hong Zhuang smiled at him seductively as he opened the door.
“No,” Lin Huang gave a determined answer.
“You’re cold as usual,” Hong Zhuang complained but she soon smiled again.
“Aren’t you curious about where I went yesterday?”
“No, it has nothing to do with me.” Lin Huang looked at her sternly and walked towards the canteen.
“Weren’t you curious about why I’m here in the White Capital? Why are you not interested anymore? Did you hear about it from somewhere else?” Hong Zhuang followed him. She sounded like she was testing Lin Huang.
“I don’t have the time to do that. It’s your business even if you’re bombing the Union Government. I won’t be questioning you as long as it has nothing to do with the Martial Hunter College.”
“Alright then, I understand now.” Hong Zhuang was satisfied with his answer. Although she had no idea what he might know, at least she knew that Lin Huang would not intervene in her operation.
“Hmm, why do I sense that your vibe is even more powerful now after a day?” Hong Zhuang asked as she trailed after Lin Huang.
“It’s all in your head.” Lin Huang’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that but he turned around to glare at Hong Zhuang without an expression.
She did not say anything but she looked at Lin Huang suspiciously. It was clear that she sensed the changes in him but she could not tell what it was.
“What secrets are you hiding? I really want to know,” she thought to herself as she licked her lips after Lin Huang turned back to walk ahead.
When they got to the canteen, Lin Huang got his breakfast and sat down at an empty table. Soon, Hong Zhuang sat across him with her breakfast. Lin Huang ignored her and proceeded to eat his meal. A while later, Qin Tianxing joined them.
“Good morning, Miss Zhuang and Sir Lin!” Qin Tianxing shamelessly sat next to Hong Zhuang after greeting the both of them.
“Good morning, Sir Qin!” Hong Zhuang did not seem like she minded that as she smiled at him while eating her bread.
“Did you guys see the news? The Saints have been completely wiped out! I personally think that all of the underground organizations should die! After killing the Saints, the next should be the Purple Crow!” Qin Tianxing discussed the hot topic with sheer excitement.
“Brother, can you not? The Purple Crow’s soon-to-be Crow Spirit is just sitting on your right!” Lin Huang screamed internally. He thought Qin Tianxing must be a dead man to Hong Zhuang now.
“The Purple Crow is the same as the Saints. None of them are good. If I see any of them, I’ll definitely kill them.” Qin Tianxing seemed to be showing off his male ego in front of Hong Zhuang. He could not stop talking about the underground organization.
Lin Huang peeked at Hong Zhuang but she seemed calm. What Qin Tianxing was talking about seemed to have nothing to do with her…
