Chapter 1289: Chapter 1289: Leaving the Hunter Organization Chapter 1289: Chapter 1289: Leaving the Hunter Organization Although Cliff Golden was furious, he understood deep down that there was no way to clear his name at this point.

If other hunters arrived, he was afraid he would meet his end here!

Thinking of this, Cliff clenched his teeth, smashed through the ceiling, and swiftly fled.

Urban Dittman didn't give chase but instead sneered coldly in his heart.

*Cliff Golden's escape was the best option for Urban Dittman; now, no one would suspect him.*

As for the “scapegoat,” that was someone Urban had deliberately chosen to testify on his behalf.

“Cliff Golden, you think you can become the team leader? Dream on!” Urban sneered.

He walked to the leader's corpse and tucked the White Bone Club into his pouch.

With this item in his possession, he could take control of the Hunter organization.

The leader's corpse still lay on the ground, while many hunters quickly arrived after hearing the news.

Ethan Smith, Scott Elliott, and Ged Shepherd rushed in as well.

Seeing the leader's corpse, Ethan's face changed dramatically!

He hurriedly ran to the leader's side and said coldly, “Who did this?”

“It was Cliff Golden! I saw him kill the leader with my own eyes!” A young man said angrily.

Urban Dittman also nodded and said, “That's right, it was indeed Cliff Golden who killed the leader.”

“Where is Cliff?” Scott, overcome with grief, roared furiously.

“He has already fled,” Urban said solemnly.

“To think Cliff Golden would actually kill the leader.”

For a moment, many hunters broke out in tears.

They knelt before the leader's corpse, overcome with sorrow.

The leader had treated every hunter exceptionally well, and his reputation among them was extraordinarily high.

Now that he was dead, how could they not feel pain?

Ethan gazed down at the fallen leader, his fists clenched tightly.

*He knew in his heart that Cloud Sect must have orchestrated this!*

“The leader… died because of me…” Ethan gritted his teeth, his fists trembling with strain.

“Cloud Sect, I will never forgive any of you!!!”

He couldn't believe Cloud Sect would directly send someone to eliminate the leader!

“We must capture Cliff Golden and avenge the leader!” Other hunters roared in anger.

They lacked the capability to declare war against Cloud Sect, so they directed their wrath toward Cliff instead.

At this moment, Ged Shepherd said coldly, “How did Cliff Golden manage to kill the leader silently?”

“It was because of the soup,” Urban pointed toward the empty bowl on the table.

“Cliff must have poisoned it.”

Ged quickly walked to the table, picking up the bowl to sniff it.

Meanwhile, Ethan noticed something amiss.

*If Cliff Golden was responsible, what was his motive?*

*If it was merely to escape, why would he need to kill the leader?*

*Could Cloud Sect have offered him some kind of benefit? Or a promise?*

Ethan cast a glance at Urban standing not far away, suddenly suspecting that Urban might have been involved in this matter.

“You were the first to discover this?” Ethan asked Urban.

Urban nodded slightly and said, “That's right.”

Ethan asked grimly, “The leader had just died, and you happened to appear here?”

“What's wrong with that? I wanted to report something to the leader and accidentally stumbled upon it. Is that not acceptable?” Urban replied, showing no signs of panic.

Since he wasn't directly involved, Urban felt no fear.

“You, however, should know the reason behind the leader's death, right?” Urban sneered.

“If it weren't for you, would Cloud Sect have come? Would the leader have died? You cursed bringer of bad luck, and yet you dare speak up?”

Ethan's brows furrowed slightly.

Although Urban wasn't virtuous, what he said wasn't entirely wrong.

“To prevent further complications, Ethan, you should leave the Hunter organization at once,” Urban said with an indifferent smile.

“Otherwise, the entire Hunter organization might be dragged down because of you.”

“No way!” Ged immediately opposed.

“The leader said that no one should be abandoned. This was his principle.”

Urban scoffed, “The leader is dead. The rules he set no longer count.”

“Besides, are we seriously going to lose more people over Ethan?”

Ged said coldly, “The leader's body isn't even cold yet, and you're saying things like this? Are you even human?”

“Ha, I'm just being realistic. If you're unhappy, we can vote on the matter,” Urban snorted.

He then shouted, “Raise your hand if you agree Ethan should leave!”

About half of the hunters raised their hands, while the other half disapproved.

Urban sneered and said, “Ethan, you should get out of here right now. That settles it.”

“You don't get to decide,” Ged retorted coldly.

At this moment, Urban's eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly raised his hand, summoning the White Bone Club.

“Does this get to decide?” Urban said coldly.

Ged's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, “How is the White Bone Club in your hands?”

Urban snorted, “The leader is dead. Naturally, I took hold of the White Bone Club to prevent it from falling into the hands of traitors.”

“Besides, I recall there's a rule in the Hunter organization: Whoever holds the White Bone Club becomes the new leader, isn't that right?”

Ged opened his mouth but was rendered speechless.

The Hunter organization did have such a rule, but it had been established by the deceased leader.

“A moment ago, you declared the leader's rules void. Now you bring them up because they work in your favor, huh? Say whatever suits you, right?” Scott cursed angrily.

Urban snorted coldly, “Save your words. The White Bone Club is in my hand now, so this position naturally belongs to me!”

Scott was about to speak, but Ethan extended a hand to stop him.

He shook his head and said, “Forget it, I'll leave the Hunter organization.”

“Ethan, you can't! Cloud Sect's people are nearby. As soon as you leave, they'll surely target you!” Ged said anxiously.

Ethan smiled bitterly and said, “No matter; I'll have to face them sooner or later.”

“That's the decision, no need to say more. I'll leave the Hunter organization now.”

With that, Ethan turned toward the leader's body.

He bowed three times to the corpse, then turned and walked away.
