Chapter 84 The Conspiracy of the Holy Son and His Subordinate Ma Xiaotao
Ma Xiaotao felt a little guilty saying such things, but thinking of the task she was responsible for, she stiffly began to fabricate an explanation. Her mind raced, and an idea came to her. So she said:
"Of course! You were sent by the high-ranking members of the church, while I was personally sent by His Highness the Holy Son, with the purpose of assisting you in your work."
Upon hearing this, the various parties reacted differently. The one lying on the ground smiled slightly, while most of the evil spirit masters opposite him wore expressions of disbelief.
Ma Xiaotao also realized that her statement was a bit too crude. She had just shown such obvious hostility, and at this moment, it was really hard to believe her to come up with this kind of explanation.
Just as Ma Xiaotao was at her wit's end, the man's expression suddenly changed drastically after he seemed to have thought of something. After a moment of silence, he suddenly stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said:
"My friend, how about this? To confirm your claim, we need to discuss this in secret. During this time, you need to stay away and not inquire about our conversation. If you're worried about us, I'll only stay with my unconscious third brother and my fourth brother. The rest of us will be your hostages. What do you think?"
Ma Xiaotao looked around at the surrounding Fourth and Fifth Ring Roads, worried that her lie would be exposed. She hesitated, but suddenly...
Ma Xiaotao glanced over and saw that the elder brother was subtly giving a signal to his subordinates from under his sleeves.
Ma Xiaotao immediately understood that this was a signal from the older brother, warning her to have those people watch her and prevent her from escaping.
But after realizing this problem, Ma Xiaotao's pride was aroused.
She thought to herself with a cold laugh, "I'll go with you. What can you do to me then?"
Thinking about all this, Ma Xiaotao didn't say goodbye and followed the group away from the place.
Watching Ma Xiaotao and the others gradually disappear into the distance, the three people who were nearby finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, the eldest brother treated his wounds and then sat down with the fourth brother.
The fourth brother said, "Boss, what do we do now?"
The eldest brother was silent for a moment, then said, "Fourth brother, do you know why I kept you guys behind alone?"
The fourth brother said, "Brother, I know you sent them away from that guy because you don't trust them. But you can rest assured about us."
The older brother smiled and said, "Alright, now that it's just the two of you, I can be sure you won't betray me."
After a moment of silence, the eldest brother said:
"Before we discuss the true origins of that Shrek guy, let me ask you a question: In your impression, what kind of person is His Highness the Holy Son?"
The fourth brother said, "What kind of person is he? He seems very mysterious, and most importantly, his appearance was very abrupt."
The eldest brother nodded and said,
That's right. Looking back from now on, the appearance of the Holy Son was like a thunderbolt without warning.
Before this, no one knew of his existence.
Even though the cult leader had never shown any affection for him since he appeared,
But His Highness the Holy Son has always had a smooth and successful life, receiving all sorts of preferential treatment. There's something wrong with that.
Various rumors circulate about the Holy Son.
Some say this holy son is simply a puppet put forward.
It is to achieve a certain purpose,
Some say the Holy Son is the previous leader who has been rejuvenated.
Some even say that the "holy son" is actually the "holy daughter," and that she has become involved with the cult leader.
He rose to power through improper relationships, but became arrogant and spoiled because of his favor!
This caused the cult leader to gradually lose patience with him!
In retrospect, these speculations all seem quite plausible.
In short, whatever the reason, it all points to only one conclusion.
"Your Highness, the relationship between you and the leader isn't as good as you might think."
The fourth brother said, "Yes, this mission was ordered by the sect leader and was not communicated to His Highness the Holy Son beforehand."
Given the strained relationship between the Pope and His Highness the Holy Son, we must remain constantly vigilant against the Holy Son potentially harming us.
Brother, you told us that.
The eldest brother nodded and said, "That's right, but this is a consensus among us all."
"But think about it, why did I send them away and only speak to the two of you?"
The fourth brother laughed and said, "So, you're planning to secretly let the third brother, who's gay, have a taste of this kid first?"
After saying this, the two smiled, but then the fourth brother said:
"Boss, could it be related to Second Brother?"
The eldest brother's eyes narrowed, and he said, "That's right, there's something I've never told you. Actually, your second brother is already dead."
"What?" Upon hearing this, the fourth brother exclaimed in surprise.
The third brother said, "How is this possible? My second brother was perfectly fine on the border of the far north not long ago, how could something have happened to him?"
The older brother said, "I don't know how he died, but guess what I found when I was examining the body?"
The third brother asked, "What?"
The eldest brother said, "Exactly the same as those people, with golden dragon claws in a state of destruction."
The fourth brother said, "Is it those mysterious people? They discovered our investigation and started targeting us?"
The eldest brother suddenly sneered and said:
"Mysterious? Now it seems they're not mysterious at all."
The fourth brother asked, "Brother, what do you mean?"
The eldest brother said, "Just imagine, this kind of method..."
Which of the forces we are familiar with would use this?
The Sun and Moon Empire has a good relationship with us and has no reason to deceive us.
"The Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent have been fighting with our insignificant fellow cultivators for many years; we know their methods all too well."
The fourth brother said, "Could it be a place like Shrek Academy?"
The eldest brother snorted and said, "Shrek is arrogant and conceited. Most of the students in the academy are the kind who would rather use their fists than their brains."
Therefore, looking across mainland China, the forces with this habit of mysticism are very likely to be our own people within the Holy Spirit Cult.
The third and fourth brothers exclaimed in unison, "Ah! They're on our side? Then why do we need to investigate them?"
The eldest brother said, "We've already gone this far, don't you understand?"
Which power would suddenly cause trouble for His Highness the Holy Son?
I recalled the strange look that girl from the Sun Moon Empire gave me that day, and the more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt!
That's why I've been hesitant to tell you about your second brother's death.
Because until recently! I finally figured it out! This was a complete conspiracy!
The mastermind behind it all is actually His Highness the Holy Son!
The two exclaimed in surprise, and the third brother asked in confusion, "Why is that?"
The elder brother said, "It's very simple! His Highness the Holy Son knows that the Sect Leader has been treating him very badly lately."
Therefore, he deliberately impersonated other people and committed crimes against himself in multiple locations.
The real purpose was to test the cult leader's attitude towards him.
Then, based on the cult leader's reaction, judge his attitude towards you.
Now, His Highness has successfully probed the leader's attitude towards him.
The answer is that the cult leader is indeed ostracizing His Highness the Holy Son. Since that's the case...
We people are naturally useless.
Therefore, the death of the second son is only the first step; soon, we too will inevitably fall victim to the Holy Son's scheme.
Once we're dead, His Highness can naturally shift the blame to some non-existent mysterious force.
From beginning to end, this has been a grand scheme orchestrated by His Highness the Holy Son, and you and I are merely pawns that can be discarded at any time!
And that guy who claimed to be a Shrek student just said she was personally sent by His Highness the Holy Son. Think about what that means!
The fourth brother exclaimed in shock, "They're either here to gather intelligence or to silence us."
The eldest brother remained silent, clearly acknowledging the answer.
The fourth brother said, "Then aren't we in a dilemma? What should we do now?"
