Chapter 1288: Chapter 1288: Team Leader's Death_1 Chapter 1288: Chapter 1288: Team Leader's Death_1 Cliff Golden glanced at the medicine package in Philbert Duncan's hand and said coldly, “Do you want me to take the fall for this? If they find out that I killed the team leader, will they trust me?”

Philbert Duncan slightly furrowed his brows and replied, “What else then? Are you expecting me to do it? Then what do I need you for?”

Cliff Golden sneered and said, “Do you think I'm a fool? When you achieve your goal, you'll just ignore everything else?”

“Do you know who you're talking to?” Philbert Duncan's eyes narrowed.

“I don't care who you are, I'm just cooperating with you, not under your command.” Cliff Golden retorted coldly.

The atmosphere instantly became tense, with both parties facing each other, seemingly on the brink of breaking off negotiations.

At this moment, Urban Dittman hurriedly interjected, “Isn't this simple? Just find someone to take the blame. It's not like you don't have enough people.”

“It won't work. I can't use my people.” Cliff Golden shook his head.

“Otherwise, they will definitely suspect me,” he added.

Upon hearing this, Philbert Duncan became furious.

He stood up and said, “You're always finding reasons not to do things, why don't you just go die?”

“Then there's no need to discuss this further.” Cliff Golden snorted coldly, and immediately turned to leave.

Urban Dittman hastily stopped Cliff Golden, looking somewhat helpless as he said, “Here's what we'll do. I'll handle this matter and find someone to take the blame for you. Okay?”

Cliff Golden finally stopped, looking at Philbert Duncan as if waiting for his opinion.

“Fine, as long as you hand over Ethan Smith to me, I don't care how you do it,” Philbert Duncan snorted.

Seeing this, Cliff Golden didn't say any more.

He took the medicine package and turned to leave.

“Wait for the news,” Cliff Golden left a comment, disregarding Philbert Duncan.

As he watched Cliff Golden's departing figure, Philbert Duncan's expression grew colder.

“This kid is difficult to control,” Philbert Duncan murmured.

“Our goal is not to control the Hunter organization, but to get rid of Ethan Smith.” The person beside him reminded him.

However, Philbert Duncan still felt a bit unhappy.

The next day.

Urban Dittman found a scapegoat for the plan.

“The person has been found; I'll leave the rest to you.” Urban Dittman said to Cliff Golden.

Cliff Golden glanced at the chicken soup in front of him and said, “Alright, I'll go find the team leader now. Make sure you bring the scapegoat here as soon as possible.”

“Understood,” Urban Dittman replied with a grin.

Cliff Golden didn't say anything more. He picked up the chicken soup and headed towards the team leader's office.

These past few days, the team leader had been swamped with business regarding the Cloud Sect and looked extremely haggard.

Seeing Cliff Golden enter, the team leader waved his hand and said, “Cliff Golden, what brings you here?”

Cliff Golden walked towards the team leader, holding the chicken soup.

He set the soup down in front of the team leader and said, “Team leader, why bother putting so much effort into this for Ethan Smith?”

The team leader sighed, “After all, he is one of our members. I naturally have to protect him.”

Cliff Golden's face was cold as he said, “Is it worth it to pay such a heavy price?”

From his words, it was clear that he was referring to the statement.

Unfortunately, the team leader was unaware of this.

“No matter which hunter is in trouble, I have to protect them, including you.” The team leader rubbed his forehead and said.

Cliff Golden slightly furrowed his eyebrows, glancing at the chicken soup with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

However, this moment of hesitation was fleeting, and his expression quickly returned to its cold demeanor.

“This is some wild chicken soup my people caught for me to heal. Drink it while it's hot,” Cliff Golden stood up and said.

The team leader nodded gratefully, “Thanks, just leave it there for now.”

Without a word, Cliff Golden hurriedly left the office.

However, he didn't go far, choosing to wait nearby in silence.

In the office.

As the team leader flipped through the documents in his hands, he casually picked up the chicken soup.

He didn't think much of it, let alone suspect that Cliff Golden was trying to harm him.

He drank the entire bowl of chicken soup.

Not long after finishing the soup, the team leader began to feel that something was wrong.

His body's strength seemed to be rapidly draining, and his vision began to spin.

“No good, the chicken soup is poisoned…” The team leader quickly realized what was happening!

Just then, Cliff Golden burst through the door.

His massive body approached the team leader step by step.

In his hand, he held a Long Blade.

“Cliff Golden, why… why are you doing this?!” The team leader mustered all his strength to utter these words.

Cliff Golden coldly replied, “I'm sorry, but I have to sacrifice you in order to rise to power.”

The team leader's face changed drastically, and he tried to call forth his White Bone Club, but it was too late.

Cliff Golden's steel blade slashed across the team leader's neck.

The team leader's body fell heavily to the ground, and his primordial spirit began to waver.

But Cliff Golden wouldn't give him any chance. He immediately waved his hand and crushed the team leader's primordial spirit.

The team leader was dead!

At this moment, the door was pushed open.

Urban Dittman entered with a young hunter.

Upon seeing the scene before him, the young hunter's face changed drastically.

“Team… team leader? Cliff Golden, you killed the team leader?!” The hunter exclaimed in horror.

Cliff Golden remained calm, glancing at Urban Dittman and saying coldly, “Proceed with the plan.”

“What plan? Cliff Golden, what are you talking about?”

However, Urban Dittman's words left Cliff Golden stunned in place.

“Urban Dittman, what do you mean?” Cliff Golden narrowed his eyes as he sensed something was wrong.

Urban Dittman pretended to be angry and said, “Cliff Golden, you beast! You actually killed the team leader?!”

“You fucking played me?!” Cliff Golden's anger erupted, glaring at Urban Dittman as he gritted his teeth, “You fucking dare play me?”

“Who played you? You beast, you actually killed the team leader. You won't die a good death!” Urban Dittman pretended to be grief-stricken.

He then shouted to the outside, “Everyone, come quickly! Cliff Golden killed the team leader!”

“Urban Dittman, I'll kill you!” Cliff Golden was furious, charging towards Urban Dittman with his fists clenched.

However, Cliff Golden's injuries hadn't fully healed and he was unable to catch Urban Dittman.

“Someone come quick! Cliff Golden killed the team leader!” Urban Dittman continued to shout frantically.
