Chapter 275: Chapter 185: The Suicidal Pigeon

This person...

not Clo.

Jiang Shu frowned as he looked at the man sitting in the office, head down, reading a paper book, and his heart made a judgment.

The photo didn’t give it away, but upon seeing him in person, he confirmed it, this person was not Clo.

The temperament and style of action were wrong, and moreover, the fish mother was not around.

His gaze lingered on the origami crow on the office desk.

However, the crow was indeed folded by Clo.

So was Clo disguised too well, or was this yet another trap set by Clo?

Jiang Shu still maintained his invisible state; he slowly walked toward the man sitting in the chair, standing opposite him.

With a flick of the wrist, a playing card appeared in his hand. Jiang Shu passed the card forward, and it spun on the desk, sliding toward the man.

During its slide, the card gradually emerged from invisibility, and the pattern on the back of the card turned into a line of text—"You are not Yaxi, who are you?"

"Hmm?" The man picked up the card that appeared out of nowhere and looked at the printed text; his expression suddenly changed, and he stood up and looked around, but he saw nothing.

And when he looked down at the card again, the text on it had changed.

[Answer me.]

"Who... who exactly are you? Where are you?" the man frowned.

[Answer me.]

"I am Yaxi," the man sat down, "Why would you think I am not? This is the Wildfire club office, if I am not Yaxi, then who else could sit in this position?"

[Wildfire wasn’t founded by you. Tell me, where is the person who founded it now?]

The text on the card changed once more, but unlike before, the man could feel that an icy object had been placed on his neck.

A knife.

"What do you want to do?" The man’s voice was very calm, so calm that it didn’t seem like someone who had a knife held to his throat. His brain was racing, but his body, on the other hand, relaxed.

[Answer me.]

The same three words appeared on the card for the third time.

[He gave you the charge of Wildfire, but your most important task isn’t to help him manage Wildfire, but to die at the right moment.]

[Now is that time, but your death would be meaningless.]

"How... how do you know?" The man broke out in a fine sweat on his forehead. The threat of death couldn’t scare him, but the current situation made him panic, as the card precisely voiced his inner thoughts.

But this time, there was no answer on the card.

The coolness on his neck vanished too.

He was a bit stunned, looking toward the wide-open window.

The wind outside made the curtains flutter loudly.

The wind stirred his hair, and he suddenly felt his head had cooled a bit, as if the temperature had dropped some.

Was he not even worthy of dying for the one who personally selected him as the new leader?

...

He had believed himself to be an important chess piece, but it now seemed that was not the case at all.

Just an insignificant character, his answers and thoughts irrelevant. In their world, he couldn’t even utter his own name.

"From today on, you are Yaxi."

He remembered the leisurely command of the first Yaxi to face death, the face with the golden curls slowly merging with the card, and suddenly the power at his fingertips no longer felt like a gift.

That lofty sense of mission vanished at that moment, replaced by a mysterious sense of shame.

It was because of him that Wildfire had grown to this scale, he was of use, he was esteemed above ten thousand within Wildfire...

He clenched his fist, the nails digging into flesh, fresh red blood seeping into the nail beds.

It took a long time before he regained his composure.

He pulled out a silk handkerchief and carefully wiped the blood from his hands. Then he spoke into his wristwatch, "Have Erin come to see me."

Next time he met with them, he would make everyone remember his name.

——

This second generation Yaxi did not know where Clo had gone.

Through probing with the card and the results of mind reading, Jiang Shu reached this conclusion.

But since this guy wasn’t Clo, it was then clear where Clo really was.

Where there had been unrest recently, Clo would be there.

Thirteen District.

Most likely, the chaos in the Special Prison was caused by this guy.

So what was the purpose of releasing those Mutants and prisoners?

Jiang Shu gazed in the direction of Thirteen District.

If he were in Clo’s place, if his ultimate goal was to ignite Wildfire, then what would be his purpose in releasing the Mutants?

At first, he thought that Clo wanted to provide a distraction for First District, but now it seemed that this was not the case.

Clo hadn’t even bothered with this place again— the existence of this batch of Wildfire seemed only to attract him here and then have this second generation Yaxi commit suicide during their meeting to create a murder scene.

Obviously, if the outside world believed that he had killed the second generation Yaxi, there would be no shortage of troubles to follow.

Even if he could prove his innocence, it would be pointless; after all, to the Wildfire organization, the second Yaxi had no reason to commit suicide.

Needless to say, these fanatics would surely seek revenge against him, and it would be a troublesome issue then.

So, does that mean Clo’s focus is on Thirteen District?
