Linda hesitated for a moment, then peeked at Jian Yan's suggestion.

He only spoke after he had piqued everyone's curiosity enough.

"I never imagined that the name the assassin uttered before his death would be the leader of the Ghost Adventurer Guild, a Steel-level adventurer group in White Dove City..."

"Herus!"

Upon hearing this,

An uproar erupted in the hall!

Ordinary people don't know what's going on with the top-tier adventure teams.

They simply assumed that adventurers from the same city should support each other and fight against external enemies together.

"Why did the leader of the Ghost Guild send someone to assassinate Linda?"

"I've heard from friends that ghosts and phoenix flowers have a conflict. But I never imagined the conflict would be this big!"

"Even if a ghost is of the Iron grade, it still has to pay a price for doing something like this, right?"

Discussions arose.

Most ordinary adventurers were filled with astonishment and disbelief.

If what Linda said is true, the Ghost Adventurers will have to disband on the spot.

On the sofa in the VIP area, a look of panic flashed in Halus's eyes.

He hadn't expected Linda's 'attack' to come so suddenly.

It's like an old man whose backside is on fire; he can't sit still anymore.

"Wait—everyone, let me explain!"

Halus hurriedly stood up, raised his hands, and tried to attract everyone's attention.

All eyes turned to the Ghost Leader.

Two particularly eye-catching lines stood out in everyone's sight.

One dish from Eiko.

The other one came from the pink-haired girl who had stopped Bervis and seemed to be even stronger than Bervis.

Halus's heart pounded, and he kept wiping the sweat from his brow with tissues.

Something's not right.

How could Linda be in contact with two Moon-rank adventurers?

That Bervis is one thing, but Ai is his sister.

Haus admitted defeat.

But who is this pink-haired girl who suddenly appeared?

What's your relationship with Linda?

Even with the Ghost's intelligence network, they couldn't find the other party.

Now, Halus only knows one thing: the Ghost Adventurers are in great crisis!

If this isn't handled properly, we could be finished today!

"Ahem, everyone, let me explain."

“Think about this carefully. Linda claims that the assassin called out my name, Halus, before he died. Well, I’d like to ask Linda, what evidence does he have?”

"Did you, Linda, take the gold coins from the White Dove Adventurer Group and make false accusations to frame my Ghost Adventurer Group?!"

Now that things had come to this, Halus had no choice but to go all out and expose his shameful secrets to everyone. He brazenly recounted all the embarrassing things he had done.

Under the astonished gazes of the elderly man, he gritted his teeth and said:

"What you may not know is that in the core resource area of ​​the 15th level Grand Mythic Realm, there is a valley with more than 20 Silver Fruit Trees. Each time the Grand Mythic Realm opens, it can reliably produce about 1,000 World Tree Fruits, which are worth millions of gold coins!"

"Such abundant resources should be shared by the three top-tier adventurer groups in White Dove City, but what happened? They were monopolized by the White Dove Adventurer Group!"

"My Ghost and Rock Brothers have been inseparable and supportive of each other. I never imagined that the White Dove Adventurer Group would go so far as to bribe Phoenix with gold coins to smear my Ghost! I strongly suspect that this so-called assassination was a collaboration between Phoenix and the White Dove Adventurer Group, a self-directed and self-acted scheme to frame my Ghost Adventurer Group!"

Halus's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was stern.

Not only did she dodge Linda's 'dirty water' in a flash, but she also splashed it back at her.

Like Linda, Halus was also talking nonsense.

Only a few people know the truth behind it all.

Most ordinary adventurers are unaware of this.

Whoever makes the right argument will gain the upper hand in public opinion.

Gale joins the battle and engages in a passionate verbal exchange with Halus.

Both were panting heavily, neither able to gain the upper hand.

At this moment, Linda spoke on the magic screen.

Even though they're separated by an internet cable, Linda is determined to join the fight!

He learned what Herus had said through his advice.

"Commander Harus, you ask me for evidence? Then I'd like to ask you, how do you expect me to prove it? By bringing the dead back to life?"

Linda's expression was indifferent: "I'm just stating the facts of what happened in the cave. What I saw, what I heard, that's all."

Linda and Halus both knew perfectly well who the mastermind was.

Linda knew that the assassin was one of Halus's men.

Haus also knew that Linda knew.

But since this matter is out in the open, it must be handled according to the rules.

The three black-robed men's bodies were clean; apart from the black robes used for concealment, they had nothing else on them.

Even the faces of the three people were fake.

It is a human skin mask made of a magical material.

Their real faces have long been 'cut off'.

This discovery strengthened Linda's resolve to eliminate the Ghost Adventurers.

Halus is ruthless and must not be allowed to live.

At this moment, President Velen pressed down on Harus's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "I have already contacted the military police of the law enforcement department. Please cooperate with the investigation. If you are innocent, we will not make things difficult for you."

Halus's expression changed slightly: "You want to subject me, a commander of the Iron Rank, to an investigation based on some young brat's wild tales?"

Velen shook his head indifferently.

"Herus, watch your words! Linda is the honored adventurer of White Dove City!"

If the local authorities do nothing after the assassination of the Glory Adventurer, not only will Linda be disheartened, but all adventurers will also be disappointed in the authorities.

If this matter is not handled properly, Chairman Vilen may be held accountable.

Before long, a squad of military police in bright silver armor arrived.
