A Large Wave of Experts Arrives Suddenly
He was punched in the chest; the cunning and unpredictable force that could injure someone from a distance struck his vital heart directly, causing his blood and qi to stagnate instantly.
Kooch Rosas, the bald man, nearly coughed up blood, utterly humiliated.
But as the fifth disciple of the esteemed Grandmaster Qianghu, he naturally couldn't blatantly lie. He might be shameless himself, but he had to respect his teacher's reputation.
It took several seconds for the feeling of blood stagnation in my chest to subside.
Hearing Rein's question, he reluctantly admitted, "That punch you just threw was indeed the Profound Martial Technique of Qi Master, [Sky God Strike]!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Rein, who had withdrawn his fist. First Tier- tier fighter who knew [Sky God Strike] was beyond genius.
These words immediately caused a huge uproar among the crowd.
If it were someone else, there might be a possibility of misjudgment. But since Kuchi is a high-level Fighter Sequence, no one would question what he says.
Moreover, he was an impartial person who came with the "Enforcement Team".
"It really is [Sky God Strike]!"
"I've really learned something today. Such a young fighting genius, if he doesn't die young, he will definitely have a place among the top Transcendent in the future."
"Wow, Doctor Rein is so amazing!"
"."
The onlookers also became interested.
This is getting interesting.
If Rein knows the [Void God Technique], then he definitely doesn't know the [Cannon Fist].
But since August was killed by [Cannon Fist], the murder charge is naturally invalid.
This directly proves that it was a frame-up.
All the clues initially pointed to Rein, but now they have become the best basis for reverse reasoning.
Who would have a motive to kill August?
They must know someone, and most likely someone from the upper class. Because few Civilian Scavengers would ever meet such a powerful young master, let alone become enemies with him.
Why frame Rein?
It must be someone who has a conflict with Rein.
Who knows [Cannon Fist]?
Who could easily launch a sneak attack on the eldest son of the Winst Family?
Taking these questions individually, it might not be possible to determine who it is.
However, when combined, the number of suitable candidates becomes quite small.
The "Plague Base" had already been hit by a Beast Tide, and very few people survived. It wasn't hard to guess that, just like when they identified Rein as the murderer.
It's hard to say about others, but there were two people on the spot who knew [Cannon Fist].
One of them was the bald, muscular man, Kuchi Rosas, who had just been punched.
Then there's Uhm, the eldest son of the "Sunflower Merchant Guild," who's known as Omar's once-in-a-century fighting genius.
Wow, no matter who it is, this plot is very interesting.
Uhm wasn't too flustered, because he had a perfect alibi.
Moreover, even if the Winst Family suspects him, his status as an Omar nobleman and the eldest son of the "Sunflower Merchant Guild" will not lead to "mental torture."
But because he was in the wrong, he couldn't unleash the fierce energy he had felt after losing his sister.
Fia, standing nearby, had lost her daughter, and her conspiracy had been exposed. Her face was deathly pale, and she stood there blankly, as if she had lost her soul, whether genuinely or feigning it was unclear.
The conspiracy suddenly came to a standstill.
This step was supposed to be flawless, but unexpectedly, at this crucial juncture where there was no way it could go wrong, Rein seized the opportunity and reversed the situation.
The original script was supposed to be like this.
When the "Enforcement Team" arrived, they saw Rein and Fia in a "fierce battle," which made the enforcement team realize that Rein did indeed possess the [Cannon Fist] technique, confirming his suspicions, and they were immediately taken to the Security Department.
The false accusation failed, and the main drama never even had a chance to begin.
The "law enforcement officer" also realized the seriousness of the matter, and remained silent, frowning and deep in thought.
Just then, a richly dressed, portly nobleman-merchant stepped out from the crowd.
"Haha. I never expected to encounter such a grand spectacle. You people from Omar, coveting the technology of that Grand Mechanical Master, actually came up with such a despicable scheme to frame him!"
The man looked rudely at Madam Fia, who had "lost her rice after trying to steal a chicken," and laughed loudly, "Madam Fia, you're quite adept at framing someone. You think you can gain the master's trust by arresting his family and then playing the good guy and doing him a favor? You think these dirty tricks will win him over?"
Intelligent people can naturally deduce and reconstruct the general outline of the matter.
This so-called murder was actually aimed at old man Tuster.
Others dared not draw conclusions or offend the great nobles of the Oma Empire, but the people of the Xid Empire had no such scruples.
Besides, whether it's the truth or not, it's better to throw mud at someone first than to cause any harm.
The noble merchant scoffed at his fellow merchant, then turned to look at Tuster on the motorcycle, removed his top hat, and bowed. "I am Roccy Duke, manager of the Red Dragon Merchant Guild of the Xid Empire, a first-class viscount of the Empire, and chief steward of the City of Radiance Nightingale. I pay my respects to the esteemed Grand Mechanical Master."
The Nightingale of the Xid Empire is an intelligence organization on par with the Blackwater Platform of Omar, and is a spy organization directly controlled by the royal family.
Duke's direct identification of his identity demonstrates that his words represent the authority of the royal family.
After introducing himself, he continued, "On behalf of His Majesty His Majesty Xid Rogil, I extend to you the sincerest invitation. I cordially invite you to join our Sid Royal Academy of Sciences. His Majesty grants you, Grandmaster, the Hereditary Prince Title's upon your acceptance of this invitation."
Once this was said, everyone understood.
That's the crux of the matter: all the murders and framing were aimed at that mysterious "Grand Mechanical Master"!
Everyone understands,
Top-tier mechanical technology might not be that important to a small power, but it has immense strategic significance for an empire, and can even determine the fate of a nation!
The reason why the Oma Empire was able to break away from Sid and become an independent country was that the Oma Royal Academy of Sciences controlled almost all cutting-edge steam technology.
Even after so many years, the gap in cutting-edge technology between the two empires has not narrowed, but has instead widened.
However, if there were a mechanic now who was even more skilled than the "Grand Mechanical Master" in Omar, then this gap could be closed in a short time, and might even be surpassed in some areas!
They directly asked for the "Hereditary Prince Title," which demonstrates their determination to Sid talented individuals!
Upon hearing the offer of recruitment, people from other factions also wanted to befriend a "Grand Mechanical Master".
But apart from the two great empires, who else could offer the condition of a "princely title"?
In everyone's eyes, Omar and his group had squandered a winning hand. They made contact with this "mechanic" immediately and resorted to so many inexplicable tactics. Now, they've backfired, giving Sid's people an opportunity to take advantage of their weakness.
Are these people from the "Sunflower Merchant Guild" really making a stupid move?
No, quite the opposite. Only Fia knows the injustices this old man suffered in Omar back then, the loss of his family, and the disgrace he suffered. He would never be recruited through normal means!
However, since things have come to this, there's no point in saying anything now.
Just then, Roxy Duke said again, "If you accept the invitation, Master, we will take care of all your troubles. You and your family will absolutely not be slandered or harmed in any way!"
While recruiting him, this guy didn't forget to kick Omar while he was down.
It's clearly a mockery of the farce that just happened.
Rein was framed for this "murder," thus forging a feud with the "Sunflower Merchant Guild."
But now is not the time to pursue this matter, especially since it seems they and the "enforcement team" are in cahoots. They can't do anything about it except let Bazel suddenly kill someone. But that big shot is a bodyguard, not an assassin; that was agreed upon in the initial agreement.
Moreover, what Rein cares about most is not the current farce, but Bazel's "sense of crisis".
They had to leave the Plague Base.
Rein knew that Tuster despised nobles and would never accept any offer of service from any power.
Seeing that the old man didn't seem to care, he turned directly to the nobleman from Sid and said, "Excuse me, sir. We are free hunters and have no plans to join any faction for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Roxy Duke glanced at Tuster.
The old man remained silent, clearly acknowledging Rein's statement.
Roxy wasn't sure what the relationship was between Rein and the Grand Mechanical Master, but he was still very polite, smiling as he said, "That's a real shame. However, the doors of Sid are always open to the esteemed Grand Mechanical Master. If you change your minds, you can always contact any of Sid's properties in City of Radiance."
"OK."
Rein nodded. "Sorry, we have something to attend to and need to leave now."
He ignored the Enforcement Team members.
Although he suspected that these intelligence agents were not as benevolent as they appeared, and that if they couldn't be recruited, they might even harbor malicious intentions and commit murder and robbery, with Bazel around, these were minor issues.
It was actually easier for them to operate outside the base.
The "Enforcement Team" guys were initially very aggressive, wanting to arrest people, but they ended up causing this farce. Moreover, based on the current clues, they may have been used as pawns.
It's even less likely that the Sunflower Merchant Guild will cause trouble. Fia's death was her own fault, unless they disregard the hunting laws of City of Radiance and take forceful action.
But now that the Enforcement Team is right in front of them, they dare not act impulsively.
Rein and his men wanted to leave, there was no reason for them to stay.
The crowd gradually dispersed.
But just then, coincidentally, a group of powerful individuals suddenly broke into the "Plague Base".
The leaders were none other than those wearing striking red robes.
In the City of Radiance, magic apprentices wear gray robes, while novice and intermediate mages of the first to Third Tier wear robes that gradually change from gray to white, and advanced mages of the fourth to fifth tiers wear red robes, with the color gradually increasing in color.
The robes of these people in front of us were a dark, almost blackish red!
In the City of Radiance, very few people can wear such a magical robe.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Lord Kipling is here!"
Kipling Winster, the current patriarch of the Winst Family, the lord of the City of Radiance after Master Cavo, and one of the strongest fifth-tier mages!
The sudden turn of events caused Rein's expression to change slightly.
When he looked at Bazel next to him, he exclaimed in his heart, "Could this be the 'sense of crisis'?"
The son just died, and the father showed up; that's getting interesting.
If Rein hadn't just proven his innocence, and a conflict had actually broken out, even Bazel might not have been able to protect him.
After all, aside from the red-robed archmage Clan Head Kiplin, the group following him were all incredibly powerful, clearly top-tier Transcendent. This squad's combat strength was in no way inferior to the group that besieged Bazel at Storm Lake, enough to make even a legend perish on the spot!
Rein was also puzzled.
Why would these High-tier Extraordinary team up to come to the "Plague Base"?
