2401 What Kind of Explanation Can I Give You?
When he heard what the G.o.ddess of Mercy said, Third Page Eternal Sin’s expression turned strange.
From the moment she first laid eyes on the G.o.ddess of Mercy, Third Page Eternal Sin noticed that there were some of Fifth Page Truth’s sins on her body.
This meant that Fifth Page Truth had definitely interacted with the G.o.ddess of Mercy to a certain extent before all of his sins disappeared. Otherwise, Fifth Page Truth’s sins would already have dissipated after all this time.
Third Page Eternal Sin reasonably suspected that the G.o.ddess of Mercy was linked to Fifth Page Truth’s death. She might even be the one who murdered him!
For a murderer to be acting so aggressively now, her mental quality could be commended!
Although Third Page Eternal Sin’s profits had not overlapped with that of the Freedom Federation in the past, she still knew a fair amount about the Freedom Federation.
Given the att.i.tude that the Freedom Federation had toward Tower Canon, there was no reason for the Freedom Federation’s members of royalty to try and harm the Eight Pages of Tower Canon.
Hence, it was likely that it had been the G.o.ddess of Mercy’s own decision to interact and secretly battle Fifth Page Truth.
The Freedom Federation’s members of royalty’s characters were clear from how they handled the crisis that Fresh City was facing.
The G.o.d of Fools and Mirror G.o.d represented the will of the Freedom Federation.
Previously, the G.o.ddess of Mercy had never been concerned with the lives of the experts from the Freedom Federation because she only wanted to obtain the fairy source-type lifeforms and collect them as toys.
This did not clash with the G.o.d of Fools and Mirror G.o.d’s will.
But if she had interacted with and caused the death of Fifth Page Truth, she had essentially ruined the relations.h.i.+p between Tower Canon and the Freedom Federation.
This went against the will of the Freedom Federation.
Third Page Eternal Sin had heard rumors of problems between the G.o.ddess of Mercy and the Mirror G.o.d and G.o.d of Fools.
However, it would not be smart to put stock in rumors.
If mere problems caused the G.o.ddess of Mercy to do such things, there had to be more to the story.
The G.o.ddess of Mercy wouldn’t betray the Freedom Federation for mere profits unless the amount was significant enough to jeopardize her only place of shelter.
Third Page Eternal Sin was intensely interested in the G.o.ddess of Mercy’s actions. She was eager to uncover why the G.o.ddess had targeted Fifth Page Truth, as knowing the truth could bring her great gains.
It seemed unlikely that the G.o.ddess of Mercy knew about the abilities of her sacred source lifeform. If she had known but couldn’t sever her ties with the issue in time, she wouldn’t have mentioned Fifth Page Truth at all.
Third Page Eternal Sin was well aware of the G.o.ddess of Mercy’s capabilities. The G.o.ddess had transformed herself into a unique lifeform by utilizing the mermaid bloodline, making her const.i.tution distinct from that of ordinary humans.
Fifth Page Truth was not weak, and Third Page Eternal Sin always deeply feared the Law Staff. Additionally, the evolving Divine Order Evil Fetus had already reached an 11-Star level.
Since the G.o.ddess of Mercy hadn’t ignited her spirit fire, she couldn’t have killed Fifth Page Truth alone. Even if Fifth Page Truth was weaker than the G.o.ddess, he could have escaped. Thus, it was evident that the G.o.ddess of Mercy had accomplices.
Fifth Page Truth had gone to the Startling Lines Continent with the intention of evolving the Divine Order Evil Fetus. He had even taken the Tower of Truth with him to remain on the safe side.
This meant that he had intended on staying in the Startling Lines Continent long term. He would never have left the Startling Lines Continent unless it was for an emergency of astronomical proportions.
If not for the continuous changes to Tower Canon, starting with the death of that old man, then the subsequent restrictions placed on Tower Canon by whoever was controlling them, Third Page Eternal Sin would have immediately set off for the Startling Lines Continent to see for herself where Fifth Page Truth’s sins had disappeared. Alas, these issues took up all of her attention.
“Fifth Page Truth isn’t here because he’s dead. I don’t know if Fifth Page Truth’s death is related to the G.o.ddess of Mercy, but he had the mermaid aura attached to him when he died. As far as my knowledge goes, the only top expert with the mermaid bloodline is you, G.o.ddess of Mercy. Can you give us an explanation about Fifth Page Truth’s death?”
Third Page Eternal Sin looked right into the G.o.ddess of Mercy’s eyes when she spoke. If there was even the slightest s.h.i.+ft in the G.o.ddess of Mercy’s demeanor, Third Page Eternal Sin would definitely pick it up.
Although the G.o.ddess of Mercy’s expression did not change after Third Page Eternal Sin was done speaking, she noticed a twitch in the G.o.ddess of Mercy’s eyebrow. This meant that she had hit the mark with her guess.
If she had not hit the bullseye, the G.o.ddess of Mercy would not have reacted in such a way.
If the G.o.ddess of Mercy had been wrongly accused, her personality would have resulted in her screeching reb.u.t.tal.
The G.o.d of Fools, Mirror G.o.d, and all the other members of royalty looked over when they heard what Third Page Eternal Sin said.
Fourth Page Instant Extinguishment, Seventh Page War, Eight Page Apoptosis, and the rest did not look at the G.o.ddess of Mercy. Instead, they frowned at Third Page Eternal Sin.
Fourth Page Instant Extinguishment cursed to himself. He did not understand why Third Page Eternal Sin was suddenly stirring trouble.
They had already investigated Fifth Page Truth’s death, but no one had discovered the reason.
Why was Third Page Eternal Sin suddenly pointing the finger at the G.o.ddess of Mercy?
The G.o.ddess of Mercy was easily provoked. It was not a smart decision to clash with her now.
However, they were all on the same side. He could not dispute Third Page Eternal Sin before anyone else said anything.
Thus, the confused Fourth Page Instant Extinguishment and the rest could only say, “We haven’t had the chance to ask. But now, you and the Freedom Federation need to give us an explanation.”
The G.o.ddess of Mercy had indeed been caught off guard by Third Page Eternal Sin’s sudden accusation.
But she quickly regained her composure.
It was true that she was linked to Fifth Page Truth’s death. But she was not the one who had killed him.
Fifth Page Truth had taken Lin Yuan captive and tried to use him to force her and Purple Love into submission.
Eventually, Lin Yuan had used his own abilities to take out Fifth Page Truth.
Lin Yuan had even reduced Fifth Page Truth’s remains to nothing.
Hence, the G.o.ddess of Mercy guessed that Third Page Eternal Sin had learned about something.
However, Third Page Eternal Sin’s knowledge about the mermaid bloodline had to be scarce. Otherwise, she would have already mentioned Lin Yuan.
After getting a grip on the situation, the G.o.ddess of Mercy fully suppressed her nerves and replied calmly, “I indeed have the mermaid bloodline. But who can say if mermaids still exist somewhere in the sea? What kind of explanation can I give you? Are you going to accuse me every time someone’s death is related to mermaids?
“You need to have evidence to make such accusations! Bring out Fifth Page Truth’s corpse so we can all verify your claims. Tower Canon is so greedy. Are you really trying to use a dead person to drag benefits out of me? Do you think I’m that stupid?”
