Chapter 1083: Chapter 856, Wait for Me to Come Over (One chapter today.) Chapter 1083: Chapter 856, Wait for Me to Come Over (One chapter today.) Hadara was somewhat surprised by the content of the letter.
With the Holy Court's stature, there was absolutely no need to target Wu Heng like this.
The headquarters had been thinking about mediating the conflict between the two parties, but now it seemed that things were more serious than anticipated.
“Anything else?” Hadara continued.
The deputy went on to say, “The Holy Court's Investigation Team has already set off ahead of schedule, and the Association's team can go to Gold and Silver Island on their own.”
Hadara's expression grew more solemn.
It would take several days for a letter to reach the headquarters from the Holy Court, which meant that the Holy Court's team had set off before the letter was sent.
Walking out, Hadara said, “Notify the rest of the leaders to come over to discuss the meeting.”
“Yes!”
The guards on both sides of the corridor saluted as Lilith walked briskly forward.
Before reaching the meeting room,
The guards at both sides directly opened the door.
In the bright hall, three leaders were already seated in their places.
After the attendants served tea, they immediately exited, and the door closed.
The Sword of Justice, Hadara, directly said, “We have just received a letter from the Holy Court.”
Hearing this, the others all furrowed their brows.
It seems that today's meeting concerned the Holy Court and Wu Heng again.
No one knew when the leaders' meetings had become so frequent, and each one related to Wu Heng.
No one spoke up, so the Sword of Justice continued, “The Holy Court suspects Wu Heng is conducting necromancy experiments on Gold and Silver Island and is requesting the Association to order him to cooperate with the investigation. The Holy Court's Investigation Team has already set off ahead of time.”
Several pairs of eyes narrowed.
Bringing up necromancy experiments at this time made it highly suspect that this was targeting Wu Heng.
The hall fell quiet for a moment, then the Hongwen Association Leader said, “Does the Holy Court need to go so far as to deal with Wu Heng like this?”
The Hunter Leader stroked his beard, speculating in his tone, “Is it possible that the Holy Court has really found something, which is why they keep focusing on him?”
The Sword of Justice's gaze turned toward Lilith, “Lilith, you've been to Gold and Silver Island, did you discover anything?”
Deep in thought, Lilith shook herself back to alertness and said, “I didn't find anything on Gold and Silver Island, and the local residents all speak very highly of him.”
The Hongwen Association Leader took a sip of tea, interrupting the subsequent discussion and directly said, “It's difficult for us sitting here to determine whether Wu Heng is problematic or not. What we need to consider first is whether the headquarters should get involved in this matter, how to deal with it if Wu Heng is problematic, and whether to protect him if he isn't.”
Discussing whether Wu Heng is conducting necromancy experiments is already somewhat off track.
What needed to be discussed was how to handle the situation.
Wu Heng is the most talented of the new generation, worth the Association's cultivation both for his abilities and some innovative reforms.
And the Holy Court is also a crucial part of the entire Association system.
Simply put, the question was whether to withstand the pressure of the Holy Court to protect Wu Heng.
The Sword of Justice, seeing no one speaking up, said, “Bruno, what are your thoughts.”
The Hunter Leader said, “Let the Holy Court investigate. If there are issues, hand him over to the Holy Court. If not, protect him. What's there to think about?”
“Lilith, what's your opinion?”
Lilith took a deep breath and said, “I have no objections.”
The Sword of Justice then glanced at the Hongwen Association Leader, who nodded, “Then let's organize an Investigation Team to catch up with the Holy Court's people. If there are no issues, try to protect him.”
If he held a similar title and sat in this position, the goal was to maintain fairness as much as possible.
The others had no objections and nodded their departure.
Gold and Silver Island, the Association's dungeon.
The dim corridor was cold and damp, with faint light streaming through the narrow ventilation opening, casting shadows.
Wu Heng, accompanied by a skeleton, walked slowly, his footsteps echoing in the silent space.
“Lord Island Master,” the guard immediately stood to salute.
Wu Heng nodded and directed towards the opposite cage, “Open it up, I have something to discuss with him.”
The guard immediately came forward, and with a clanging sound, the cage door was opened.
“Guard the outside,” Wu Heng ordered.
“Yes, Lord,” the guards walked out, taking up positions at the corridor's entrance.
Wu Heng then entered through the door.
On the iron bed, lay a disheveled man.
His gaze peered through matted hair.
Wu Heng took out a Soundproof Pot, placed it in the middle of the room, and then said, “Mackintosh told me about you.”
The disheveled man's gaze sharpened, and he abruptly stood up, saying, “Lord, those men are locked in here.”
“Don't worry, this is an object that isolates sound, they can't hear us,” Wu Heng said.
The man saluted again, “I am sorry to trouble you, Lord.”
From the man's behavior, he did not seem like a beggar or a thug from the streets.
Wu Heng said, “You'll have to stay here a few more days; leaving now might be dangerous for you.”
The man smiled, “Those priests are all locked inside; I could drag this out until they die.”
Wu Heng smiled back, “It won't take much time, at most five or six days, then we will release you.”
“Thank you, Lord.” The man saluted again, then continued, “Lord, I have a wife at home; she must be worried after such a long absence.”
Wu Heng's eyebrows raised slightly, as the Holy Court's people had questioned him separately.
This could roughly discern whether he had indeed been following the Holy Court's people.
Of course, now this matter, as a cause, had become less important; in the end, it would result in just a fine and a warning before being let go.
Most importantly, it was the matter of the Church Knight's attack on himself.
“It's alright, you did well,” Wu Heng said.
“Yes.” The man hesitated, then continued, “Lord, my wife at home… I haven't returned for such a long time, and I'm afraid she'll be very anxious.”
