Chapter 1459: Chapter 1459: An Obvious Trap

On the other side, Pei Yan, who had rebuked Audess, made no further movement. He silently reached out towards the third Crystal Ball, as smoke ascended, a figure emerged within the light and shadow.

"If there’s no mistake, the one watching this footage should be Pei Yan, right?" Bai Ze’s voice forced Pei Yan to grit his teeth. As if predicting Pei Yan’s psychological state, Bai Ze appeared more delightful, smiling triumphantly as he continued, "Even if it’s not you, it doesn’t matter, as long as you live, you will see this footage eventually. To ensure not only you but all major forces see this footage, after you end the siege of the Vlad Clan, I sent boxes containing the same footage Light Shadow Balls to the Immortal Palace, Dragon Realm, Holy City, and even spread broadly. Your Investigation Hall may receive it a bit later, but by now, you should have received it. If the timing is right, your superior will be watching this footage either in Council City or in their office. But will they inform you about this news and when depends how long they plan to keep it from you!

Bai Ze’s words made Pei Yan, Mei Simiao, Audess and others show a grave expression. It seems their opponent is well-prepared, regardless of whether Pei Yan came to Council City or not, the outcome of this issue will not change.

"Ah! If you viewed these three Crystal Balls in sequence, you should know the general course of events by now, and have guessed why all this happened. That’s right!" Bai Ze opened his arms, provoking Pei Yan’s nerves in a boasting tone, "This matter was plotted by Mr. Mu Fanchen and me. Ah! I am increasingly admiring my teacher’s insight now. He didn’t make a mistake in choosing this man. When Mu Fanchen received Fla’s intention to cooperate through the Dark Council, he did not agree to ambush you with Magic Plane cooperation. Instead, combining previous intelligence about the Magic Plane and Hell Plane marriage, he thought of this method! He really knows what truly angers you."

"Therefore, we didn’t consider cooperation at all from the very beginning. Flamel was a pawn, so was Sifuer! From the moment Flamel sought us and decided to meet in person, he had stepped into the trap and couldn’t extricate himself," Bai Ze said, pointing at Pei Yan with a smile. "Just as you’re thinking, Sifuer learned about Flamel’s plot to harm you, also because we found someone to secretly disclose this footage to her. Otherwise, how could a young lady new to Council City without any assistance discover such confidential information? Now that things are clear, that fool is indeed terrified to death, intending to silence without our prompting. Poor Miss Sifuer, she is indeed loyal and righteous! I was almost touched at the end!"

Even though Bai Ze personally participated in planning all this, he pretended to empathize with Pei Yan, shared resentment and bitterness, "Mr. Pei Yan, we put a lot of effort into ensuring this plan’s perfect execution. We meticulously modified the Recording Crystal fused with technology from Foundation Plane and Magic from different planes to completely document the truth for you. Just this isn’t enough! Someone will surely oppose saying this footage is fake or impersonated! It’s okay; to refute such claims and considering your habit of established reasons, we thoughtfully prepared another proof for you." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

"A Shadow Race elite who joined us from Hell Plane reached high rank. Only a Shadow Race at this level could hide in my shadow during my meeting with Flamel without being discovered. He memorized all meeting details, including Flamel’s origin energy and blood traits, which can’t be faked. This Shadow Race is already heading to your Investigation Hall. Whether you interrogate or extract soul memory for verification, it’s entirely up to you. He’s yours now! You can really protect this evidence well!"

Audess from the three Council teams and Flamel, secretly observing from the Mage Tower, were infuriated by Bai Ze’s shameless remarks, as it blocked off Council City’s last chance for defense. From start to finish, Flamel was within his calculations.

At last, Bai Ze sighed self-aware, lamented, "Knowing the truth as you do now, you must surely want to tear me apart!" After speaking, Bai Ze shrugged indifferently, "I don’t mind as we’re already at the point of life and death. Whether I act or not, the result won’t change! Seeing you so furious already brings me happiness, though I can’t witness this scene in person, but never mind. I should be able to see the confrontation between you and the Magic Plane. You will avenge Sifuer, right? In my view, you are not someone who would endure humiliation for the big picture. If you really act that way, I would be very disappointed! Alright then, I won’t provoke you any further, let’s end this conversation! If you survive a direct confrontation with Council City, there will be a chance for you to seek revenge on me later."

Watching Bai Ze finish his speech and move away in the footage, just as everyone thought the footage was ending, Bai Ze suddenly turned back, looked at the camera and said, "Oh right! If you received the items outside Council City, remember to clear the final payment for the deliverer! They are just ordinary people tricked into delivering items unknowingly. Pei Yan, you won’t be so angry as to vent on ordinary people, either kill them or refuse payment, right?"

Bang!

"Hehehe! Hahahaha!" Raising his hand to close the wooden box, the light and shadow dissipated without smoke support, Pei Yan stood up with uncontrollable laughter.

While everyone was already scared to the bone by this abnormal laughter, Pei Yan wiped the tears of laughter from his eyes and sighed, "This Bai Ze is really attentive! From the beginning! Right from the start of our meeting, he and Mu Fanchen constantly trapped me, calculating every step, one pit after another, making you know it’s a trap yet unable to avoid jumping in! I admit defeat! Bai Ze, Mu Fanchen, don’t let me find a chance to catch you!"

Pei Yan’s heart was burning with rage, yet nowhere to vent. Mu Fanchen’s strategy seemed simple but effective; it exploited Sifuer’s death to provoke Magic Plane and Foundation Plane’s already unstable alliance, striking precise and mercilessly. It openly declares that the scheme was plotted by them, as Bai Ze stated, would Pei Yan knowing the truth not avenge Sifuer?

Enduring humiliation is indeed not Pei Yan’s style!
