Chapter 912: Suspicion

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“I… really don’t know!” Ryan said with a long face.

He’s telling the truth! Fang Yuan secretly transmitted to Heinze. As a Dream Master, he could easily tell if someone was lying from the most minute expressions or movements.

“Then we have more reason to be wary. It means that we’ve already paid a terrible price somewhere, just that we aren’t yet aware of it!”

Heinze gestured with his eyes to Fang Yuan. “Let’s go back!”

The group took the loot and the charred corpse and left the house. A thick mist appeared.

“Get ready… We’re going to mass teleport back to the branch!”

Heinze snapped his fingers.

Bang!

A pillar of light suddenly hit him from the sky. He flew backward and smashed into the apartment building, buried under a pile of bricks.

Whoosh whoosh!

In midair, shadows in black robes appeared. They looked like giant bats and kept diving toward them.

It was not long before one of the sorcerers yelled out in pain. Long, boney fingers had broken his protection spells, which simply tore apart.

“Chain Lightning!”

“Acid Spray!”

“Dragon Destruction Sword!”

They fired all sorts of spells at the monsters, but none of them had any effect.

“Let’s go!”

The others were also extremely shocked by what happened. They all started to use the Teleport spell to escape.

A few loyal ones also wanted to stay to help Representative Heinze and maybe take Ryan away.

However, attacks always concentrated on these types of people. They all died a gruesome death before accomplishing anything.

“Tele-teleport!” Ryan shouted shakily with all his might.

Unfortunately, the spell that had never failed before had lost its effect. He stayed in the distance helplessly, watching his comrades all die before his eyes. In the end, the only one left was the junior deacon Snow.

“What? You want to make your move now.”

Fang Yuan shrugged and looked at the pit on the ground where Heinze fell.

“Yes, I’ve had enough…” Heinze’s face was gloomy. He walked out from his hiding spot. “I wanted to continue acting as this foolish character for a while, but your appearance has caused me to change my plans… Our combined strength should be enough to break through the congress’ seals.”

“In fact, your original preparations were plenty…”

Fang Yuan looked at the black-robed monsters that had amassed. “Magic nullification? Also sealing off the Teleport spell… It should be possible to surround and annihilate the entire Sorcerer Congress of Newtlud with these monsters alone, right?”

“If it’s only sorcerers we’re up against, then these subordinates that I’ve trained are enough, but unfortunately… Naturally, the Sorcerer Congress has more than just magic at its disposal… According to the agreement between various organizations, it can receive prompt reinforcements and activate some of the collected Derivatives when attacked…”

Heinze shook his head.

“No! Sir… please don’t kill me!”

The sole survivor, the unlucky Ryan, was on the verge of tears at this point. He collapsed onto the ground.

“The suppression of this world on our power is too great. Such a dirty, lowly lifeform, and I had to endure it all this time…” Heinze looked at Ryan as though he were looking at a pile of trash.

Naturally, now that he knew what the glove was capable of, he did not approach recklessly. Instead, he turned toward Fang Yuan. “This man offended you earlier. I’ll leave him to you. His Derivative is yours as well. I’ll take this cloak!”

“I’ve been wondering what loot were you planning to bring back to headquarters…” Fang Yuan shook his head. “It looks like… you had everything planned out!”

“It was just a backup plan… If there weren’t two Derivative, I wouldn’t have acted!” Heinze shook his head.

“In that case…!” Fang Yuan snapped his fingers.

“Ahh!” While crying pitifully, Ryan was swallowed by a ball of flame.

Then, just as Fang Yuan was prepared for, the glove appeared on his right hand after a flash of light.

“The Third Hand?” He looked at his arm, intrigued. “This is really… interesting!”

“This Derivative shall be my welcoming gift to you… After you help me obtain the Philosopher’s Book, I will tell you how to absorb Derivatives… Although you can slowly figure it out yourself using the power of a Great Dao, my method ensures that the power of the rules can be best preserved. Also, the cost is minimal.” Heinze smiled.

“In other words…” Fang Yuan sneered. A dangerous aura filled him. “You’re threatening me?”

“Threaten? No! I just want some small insurance, that’s all!” Heinze hastily waved his hand and said sincerely, “I really hope to meet your true body in the Mental Demon Realm. Furthermore… I’ve already shown you my sincerity, haven’t I?”

“It’s really sincere.” Fang Yuan looked at his right hand and sneered. “All right, I promise to help you obtain the Philosopher’s Book!”

Heinze thought he had Fang Yuan completely under his control, but in fact, this Snow was merely the clone of a Magical Clone. Fang Yuan would not lose much even if he were to lose it now.

Naturally, he would not tell Heinze the truth.

After all, letting others believe that they had something on him would let them trust him more.

“Very good! I will give myself some injuries. You’ll send me back after that. I’m sure you know what to say?” Heinze was not the least bit surprised.

In fact, what he was doing was not threatening. He was only using incentives to continue to attract Fang Yuan. His method was on the mellow side.

“We were surrounded and attacked. A representative had betrayed us. After a hard-fought battle, we escaped. However, the Derivative was lost… Anyway, that’s the gist of it!”

Fang Yuan nodded, and his hand flashed. The white glove disappeared into his flesh.

“That’s right… After this incident, I’ll promote you to a Red Shirt deacon. You’ll then be qualified to teleport. We can then go to the Sorcerer Congress headquarters together. You must increase your strength quickly in this period of time. Only then can you assist me more effectively!”

A Demon God that had just descended to a world was not much different from a normal human. However, some of his strength would recover with time.

The longer the time, the more strength recovered.

As a result, Heinze did not worry that Fang Yuan would surpass him.

“No problem!” Fang Yuan nodded.

On a remote island, a red lizard that was nine meters long and had two protrusions on its back opened its mouth to reveal a mocking expression.

Rumble!

Red flames danced. Fang Yuan appeared in the branch hall that was already rather chaotic while carrying an unconscious Heinze drenched in blood. “Hurry… he needs treatment!”

Step! Step!

The branch that was already in commotion due to the return of some insiders immediately turned more chaotic.

Luckily, everyone present was a sorcerer, so they were well-versed in various healing spells and immediately recited them. A few green rays of light covered Heinze, and the scars on his body disappeared quickly.

Fang Yuan was very curious whether there were spells that facilitated immortality or necromancy in the Philosopher’s Book.

“Tsk tsk! Heinze, what a sorry sight!” Two sorcerers who dressed similar to Heinze approached them, their faces filled with mocking expressions. “What happened?”

“We were ambushed. Boss is gravely injured. Even the Derivative was stolen!” Fang Yuan answered timidly. His acting skills were off the charts.

“Useless piece of trash!” The two representatives shook their heads. One of them looked playful, while the other appeared somber. The somber one’s gaze was filled with fear when he looked at Heinze. “Who are you?”

“The branch’s… Snow!”

Fang Yuan was starting to feel uncomfortable.

It looked like the Sorcerer Congress had started suspecting Heinze. Otherwise, they would not have sent these two representatives here.

“A Red Shirt deacon now. He saved me!” Heinze coughed and ‘woke up’. “Parker! Sheldon! Did the president send you two?”

“Of course! He was worried that you’d fail the mission! Turns out… that he was right!” Parker laughed mockingly.

“Representative Heinze, I want to know exactly what happened.” Sheldon’s expression was grave. “Also, the president plans to invite you to attend a hearing to explain why there are always problems when you bring teams to settle Derivatives.”

“What can I do? The peculiarities of Derivatives are just too strange. And teams led by you two are too stupid!” Heinze stood up. “Do you mean to say that other teams never have problems? Stop joking! All right, I’ll attend the hearing. What you guys need to do now is to head to the scene and see if you can capture those damn bat monsters. Immediately! At once!”

The atmosphere was tense.

Parker moved his lips, looking like he wanted to shout vulgarities and recite incantations.

Soon after, Sheldon pulled on his arm, and the two disappeared in flames.

“What’s happening?”

Even the slowest person would realize that something was not right due to what just happened.

“I don’t know. I need some time to check. Follow me!”

Heinze brought Fang Yuan to his room and checked everything in the blink of an eye. He then released a barrier and started communicating with others.

After a moment, his expression turned gloomy. “Damn it! We have to move our plans forward! The president seems to have secured some evidence that confirms that I’m up to no good. He intends to impeach me. This hearing is a trap!”

“That’s really… a pity!” Fang Yuan shrugged. “Then, do we continue with our deal?”

“Of course!” Heinze nodded matter-of-factly. “I’ve laid low all these years in wait of that day! No… we have to be more careful now. I was sure that I never left any evidence. As such, the most that congress could do was to be suspicious of me. However, they’re very sure this time. I suspect that they were enlightened by some sort of Derivative!”

“Speaking of the powers of Derivatives…” Fang Yuan looked at Heinze’s waist. “Your liver…”

“There’s only one left. Even the Greater Restoration spell can’t produce another. It’s like I had one liver all along…” Heinze answered with a long face.
