Chapter 708 Burning



The red haired man gave a yawn before saying, “There’s nothing to take care of. Once he gets captured, the thing that I put inside of the puppet will take care of it. It won’t leave a trace at all.”

The blue haired man narrowed his cold eyes as he looked at the red haired man and said, “If you do anything that jeopardizes the plan, you know that I won’t let you off that easily.”

The red haired man gave a shrug and said, “I’m so scared of you.” Then after a pause, he said with a teasing smile, “What’s got you in such a bad mood anyway?”

The blue haired man glared at the red haired man with a cold gaze, but the red haired man just met this gaze with a smile.

After a short silence, the red haired man asked with a wider smile, “Did something happen to you in the Ancient Era Ruins?”

When he heard the words “Ancient Era Ruins”, the blue haired man completely lost it.

He gave a strong snort as the air around him dropped in temperature, even creating ice crystals in the air. It was so cold that anyone in that space might have been covered in ice in an instant.

However, in the space around the red haired man, there wasn’t a single ice crystal.

In the small space around the red haired man, the temperature was still the same as before, as if it wasn’t affected by the glare of the blue haired man at all.𝓞𝗏𝓵𝐞xt.𝒸𝐎𝓂

The red haired man just said with the same smile, but there was a bit of provocation in the smile this time, “Did I touch a nerve?”

The blue haired man gave a cold snort before saying, “Instead of playing around, you should focus on the mission.”

The red haired man gave a shrug and said, “I am. If this puppet had done its job, it would have weakened the twelve great factions which would have made it much easier in the future.” Then he gave a sigh as he said, “It’s just too bad that this puppet was useless and couldn’t do anything.”

With another sigh, the red haired man said, “It really is hard finding useful puppets these days.”

The blue haired man narrowed his eyes again as he asked, “Puppets?”

The red haired man gave another shrug and said, “Relax, they’re all the same. Their bodies have already melted away so it’s not like they’ll be able to track them to us.”

The blue haired man just glared at the red haired man for a few seconds before saying with a cold snort, “You know how important this matter is. If you mess this up, you won’t be able to take the consequences.”

Without even waiting for the red haired man to reply, the blue haired man stood up and walked out of the room.

The red haired man just ignored the blue haired man’s threat as he looked in the direction the blue haired man walked off in. After a while, he broke out in laughter before saying, “Get in here!”

There was a beautiful girl in a maid dress that suddenly came in, but the look on her face wasn’t natural.

With how fast she moved, it was clear that she was terrified of this red haired man, not to mention that look of absolute terror on her face. However, when she came up to this red haired man, she bowed her head and said in a respectful voice, “Young master, what are your orders?”

The red haired man didn’t say anything at first as he just stared at her, but then the expression on the maid’s face changed.

Her face completely twisted in pain as she immediately shouted out, “Young master, please spare me! Please spare me! I’ll do whatever you want!”

But it was no use at all.

As she screamed out in this pain filled voice, smoke started to come from her body.

As the smoke appeared, her body started to melt just like the trainer’s body. And as her body melted, her maid uniform fell off her melting form to reveal the skin underneath.

There had been no marks in the spots that could be seen, but underneath her clothes, her body was completely covered in bruises and scars. It was clear that she had been beaten and based on how bad they looked, the beatings clearly hadn’t been light.

The red haired man watched as the maid melted and as she begged him, his lips twitched.

He raised his hand and pointed a finger out, creating a tiny flame at the tip of his finger.

When the maid saw this, her eyes completely filled with despair and she fell silent.

The red haired man didn’t care about the maid’s reaction at all as he flicked his finger, sending the flame out at the maid.

The moment that the flame touched the maid, she immediately burst into flames. The flames didn’t last long, but by the end of it, the maid had already turned into ashes.

The red haired man didn’t react in the slightest to watching someone burn alive in front of him. It was almost as if the maid being burned alive didn’t have anything to do with him even though he had been the one who had burned the maid.

After seeing the maid turn to ashes, the red haired man let out a breath before saying, “I feel much better now.”

Then he turned back in the direction that the blue haired man left in and muttered to himself, “That son of a b*tch, acting like he’s that great.” Then after a pause, he stroked his chin and thought aloud, “It seems like something really happened to him in the ruins. If I were to find out what happened, then I could…”

As his words drifted off, the red haired man revealed another smile that slowly grew wider.

Back at the arena, everyone in the room stared at the pool of flesh and blood in front of them that had been the trainer.

However, they didn’t keep staring at this pool for long as they all released their spiritual sense, trying to find the person that did this. But no matter how they searched, they couldn’t find a trace of any person. In fact, they couldn’t even find a trace of life energy around them.

Seeing that this was the case, the guess that they came up with was that there must have been something inside of this trainer that did this…

,m It seemed like the master of this trainer had already prepared for the contingency that he would be caught.

They would have called this cruel, but this was something that they had encountered before, so it didn’t surprise them that much.

After they came back from the surprise of the trainer being melted, everyone turned to old man Qiao with questioning gazes. After all, they had received news from old man Qiao before the finals that someone would be making a move, but they didn’t know what it would have been.

Now it also seemed like old man Qiao had been hiding something else from them.

For all six locations to have strange fluctuations, he must have done something to protect them.

Still, since he had done them a favour by protecting the geniuses of their factions in secret, they wouldn’t make it hard for him by questioning him about this. However, that didn’t mean that they didn’t have a new impression of old man Qiao and the Hunters Organization.

It seemed like the Hunters Organization’s information network was much bigger and extensive than they had expected.

It was most likely not a good idea to get on their bad side right now.

So with this, everyone just exchanged a few words of pleasantry with each other before heading off in different directions.

Even if this matter was over, they wouldn’t let it end like this.

This was a shameful matter for them since they had been completely caught off guard and if it wasn’t for the Hunters Organization saving them, the geniuses from their factions would have been killed right under their noses.

What they would do now was search the area of this incident and see if they could find any clues as to who the perpetrator was. As well as who the one that had prevented this incident was.

Any clues on the true power of the Hunters Organization would also be helpful.

After old man Qiao and Lin Fan came to a private place, old man Qiao looked at Lin Fan with a complicated look for a few seconds before asking, “Did you capture anyone?”

Lin Fan didn’t answer right away as he looked down at his watch. After going through two messages that he received, he looked back up and shook his head before saying, “It seems like the same thing that happened to the trainer happened to the people we captured.”

Old man Qiao knitted his brows when he heard this, but he also asked, “Did you get any information from them before they died?”

Lin Fan once again shook his head as he said, “They wouldn’t say anything.” Then after a pause, he looked at his watch again before saying, “It seems like other than the trainer, the rest of them were all acting like puppets. Even after they were caught, they only had a blank stare and didn’t say anything.”

Old man Qiao nodded in response to this before saying, “It’s the same with the Chu Family kid, but luckily he isn’t dead. It seemed like he had been placed under a strong illusion which was why he did everything that he did. He doesn’t even remember what happened over the past two weeks because of it…”

Lin Fan just gave a nod, but he didn’t say anything.

After a long silence, Lin Fan tactfully chose to leave because there was nothing else for him to say here.

Old man Qiao didn’t mind this as he sat there in that room, tapping his right hand on the armrest of his chair while being lost in thought.
