Chapter 166: Chapter 122 This was definitely not revealed by me (3)

The slayer of the Holy Knight, Karthas.

In the Confession Room, Augustus quietly gazed at the floating note in front of him. His expression hardened slightly, as if nothing had happened.

It was suspected that those Holy Knights might have been casually disposed of by Luo Meng after killing Benson, considering the brutal way they died, with nearly half of the members decapitated. But this note had provided shocking intelligence that led Augustus to think differently.

The Hero Team, though individually not particularly powerful—at least not enough to affect Augustus in any way—if all ten... ah no, now only nine remained, could still pose a problem if they appeared together.

Every member of the Hero Team was exceptionally talented and had reaped many benefits by following the First Generation Brave Hero. They were unrestrained in their actions and increasingly uncontrollable, even beginning to challenge the existing order of the Sky Dome Continent. They had indeed become another major force outside the Holy Court, Earth Mother Goddess Sect, Empire, and Wise Mountain.

They were also very united.

After the death of First Generation Brave Hero Jie Luo, Rose Vesper had become the new core of the team.

Although Rose Vesper was the Holy Daughter of the Holy Court, Augustus felt that not only did the Hero Team not favor the Holy Court, but Rose Vesper might also become his biggest problem.

After all, the blood flowing in this woman was from those seven filthy existences.

Now that Benson was killed by Luo Meng, it would be a good thing for Augustus if he could take this opportunity to further eradicate Karthas, thereby significantly reducing the strength of the Hero Team.

Moreover, it would also elevate his status within the Holy Court.

Augustus was also a cunning old fox, Qin Chu didn’t directly tell him everything, naturally, he had his concerns.

So, he didn’t need to make a big deal out of it.

Moreover, if Karthas really had done it, the ways to fabricate evidence are endless...

Was this the Hero’s way of thanking him for protecting Catherine when she attacked him? If the Hero truly understood gratitude, then manipulating him would be much easier.

Augustus suddenly smiled, without any visible special movement, the piece of paper in front of him suddenly ignited on its own, turning to ashes in an instant. A breeze came, and even the ashes disappeared without a trace.

After completing these tasks, Augustus placed his finger on his ear, "Captain Onions, help me investigate something. Yes, it’s about the massacre of the Holy Knights. Please check if there’s any residual Dark Power on the bodies at the camp. You know, I’m not talking about Demons, but the Dark Power possessed by Death Knight Karthas. Do you understand what I mean?"

There were things Augustus didn’t want to state too clearly, but he had to explain as much as possible to Onions, "Onions, do not mention any possibility of not finding evidence. You must understand, there can be as much evidence as needed; evidence can be fabricated. Is my instruction not clear enough for you?"

Augustus ended the message somewhat tiredly, rubbing his forehead. Onions was a very loyal subordinate of his, but unfortunately, his intelligence was not proportional to his loyalty.

This had always been a great regret for Augustus; having a subordinate who was both extremely loyal and exceptionally clever would have been ideal.

...

In the Holy Hall.

As Qin Chu appeared, the atmosphere seemed to ease slightly.

Angelica didn’t have the qualifications to enter the Holy Hall, though since she had started following Qin Chu, hardly anyone mentioned the curse anymore, but nevertheless, Angelica was just a maid.

Rose Vesper took the opportunity to occupy a spot next to Qin Chu, leaning a little closer to him, seemingly unapproachable. In her view, this should count as a reward for Qin Chu.

Maybe it was because Qin Chu had always appeared very calm, so Rose Vesper never doubted that Qin Chu would speak out about Karthas being the murderer.

Violet observed this scene, a faint smile hanging on her face. She was not angry, only finding Rose Vesper’s actions somewhat amusing.

This woman was somewhat clever.

But this cleverness, in Qin Chu’s view, was probably of no use.

Not much time had passed since Augustus had last left when he returned, his demeanor as serene as ever, which gave a benevolent impression. After greeting everyone to take their seats, Augustus first turned his gaze towards Violet, "This beautiful lady, we still do not know your name..."

Violet was very powerful.

This much was palpable to Wozworth, Saint Monica, and Augustus. She possessed a strength that far surpassed that of an average member of the Hero Team, and even challenging her would likely be quite troublesome. She was probably about as close in power to Zimmerman, who had been stuck at Level 89 for over a decade and was the closest existence to the three of them.

The others also turned their attention towards Violet, clearly very curious about her origins.

Violet did not like this tense atmosphere and was not at all nervous, even facing the most powerful individuals of the Sky Dome Continent. Her fair fingers delicately covered her mouth as she yawned slightly. After all, even the oldest among them, Zimmerman, was just a kid in her eyes.
