Chapter 244: Chapter 175: Assassination, the Deaths of Three
The crowd was dumbfounded.
Fang Yu was not in the captain’s cabin, and the Salted Fish was docked at Yunjiji Island’s port with no indication of leaving.
No one knew where the captain had gone.
“Maybe he got off for some business? He’ll probably be back soon. Let’s share this good news with him when he returns,”
Luu Yuan scratched his head and said to the others.
“That’s all we can do…”
The group nodded, browsing the forums while waiting for Fang Yu’s return.
Strange as it might sound, seeing news about an enemy’s death felt quite satisfying.
Especially browsing the forums and seeing numerous Blue Star Captains continually discussing this matter — the entire forum was filled with a sense of astonishment, which also uplifted the mood.
The few of them soon got immersed in the joy of browsing the forums.
“Holy crap! Li Tianyu is dead? He was ranked twelfth on the freighter powerhouse list. Once he advanced to the vessel level, he was expected to quickly climb up the vessel list.”
“Unbelievable… unbelievable… and he was assassinated in the captain’s cabin. Who has the capability to assassinate Li Tianyu?”
“At that level, the captain’s ship is not only powerful, but the captain himself is also formidable. I’ve heard Li Tianyu himself was a strong Transcendent.”
“To silently kill such a powerful Transcendent, and successfully assassinate surrounded by crew, how strong must the assassin be to pull this off?”
“I heard that the crew of the Celestial Feather didn’t notice anything at first. It wasn’t until the captain was dead, and the crew’s employment contracts were automatically terminated, that they realized their captain had been assassinated.”
“So terrifying, so terrifying… Did Li Tianyu anger some formidable opponent recently?”
After seeing this comment, the crowd was slightly stunned and suddenly snapped back to reality.
Exactly…
If you want to find the murderer, you must look at who Li Tianyu has recently offended.
Otherwise, why would a master assassin one have no connection to go and assassinate someone without any reason?
The person who assassinated Li Tianyu must have had significant interactions with him recently.
Wang Qi?
Impossible. Li Tianyu was Wang Qi’s man; they were in cahoots. Wang Qi had no reason to assassinate Li Tianyu.
Could it be…
“Shi Jun? Fang Yu?!”
“I seem to have heard that Fang Yu is a formidable sniper with an amazing shooting skill; could it be him?”
Seeing this comment, the crew of the Salted Fish couldn’t sit still.
Bullshit, the Salted Fish is docked at Yunjiji Island, and they want to defame our captain?
“Hey, don’t talk nonsense, the ship Fang Yu was on only arrived at Yunjiji Island yesterday and has been docked there all night; where would there be an opportunity to run off and assassinate someone?”
Luo Kuan couldn’t bear it and retorted irritably.
However, he didn’t reveal that he was a crew member of the Salted Fish, trying to defend their captain from a neutral perspective.
Seeing Luo Kuan’s words, a few fans who followed Fang Yu also jumped out to support his statement:
“Right, Fang Yu is now somewhat of a public figure, ranked seventeenth on the power list. You could find the whereabouts of the ship with even the slightest attention.”
“A casual investigation would show that Fang Yu’s ship is docked at Yunjiji Island now; when did he have time to assassinate Li Tianyu?”
Seeing everyone’s words, that Blue Star Captain who was randomly speculating typed:
“Hey, everyone, I was just speaking whimsically, just guessing. If Fang Yu’s ship is indeed docked at Yunjiji Island, then he indeed has no chance to assassinate Li Tianyu.”
“Let’s not talk about assassinating, Fang Yu’s rank is seventeenth and Li Tianyu’s twelfth, there is a power gap; Fang Yu likely couldn’t assassinate Li Tianyu, right?”
Others also found this idea ridiculous and typed as much.
Seeing their words, everyone nodded in agreement.
Indeed…
According to everyone’s stereotypical understanding of the power list.
A higher ranked individual’s ship and personal strength are both stronger than those ranked lower.
How could someone with a lower rank possibly assassinate someone ranked higher; wouldn’t that be chaotic?
Subsequently, someone else proved that Shi Jun was seen leading troops in battles with warlords yesterday, also proving that Shi Jun couldn’t be the assassin of Li Tianyu.
Alas…
Even the last two suspects have alibis — so who really killed Li Tianyu?
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
But before they could figure it out, very soon…
Another piece of news broke out:
“After Li Tianyu, ranked twelfth on the power list, Li Tao, another heir of the Li Clan, was just shot in the head.”
The murderer remains unknown.
Li Tao had just completed a campaign, ready to return, when he was suddenly shot in the head by a bullet that came out of nowhere.
Upon hearing this news, everyone on the forum was astonished.
“Holy crap!”
That was the instinctive exclamation from everyone.
This is crazy…
Li Tianyu was one thing.
But Li Tao, he was ranked ninth on the power list.
And unlike Li Tianyu, Li Tao was recognized for focusing on the captain’s own strength as the main investment, a powerful Transcendent indeed.
His prowess was terrifying; he had once single-handedly killed a Transcendent living being.
Moreover, a master of Li Tao’s level had already trained a certain intuition.
