How could it be him?
A chill ran through Bai Zhou's heart.
This honored guest could have been an important member of the Purple Thorn Group, a Master Painter giant from the Art Club, or a high-ranking official from the Special Management Department who had colluded with the Major for personal gain—he could have been anyone.
But he absolutely should not have been Deputy Director Liu, the hero who had drawn his bow against the Demon and turned the tide!
Though he himself had ultimately failed to turn the tide, the Thunder Sky Bow he left behind had played a crucial role—
Not only that, for a long stretch of the battle, he had been the strongest fighter and the pillar of support. He and the Demon had unquestionably been mortal enemies standing on opposite sides—or so it should have been.
If he had some deep collusion with the Major—
Then it meant that from beginning to end, most of what had happened—at least before Bai Zhou appeared carrying the Thunder Sky Bow—had all been guided and calculated by the Major!
The more Bai Zhou thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
So, had the Demon truly "died"?
Or rather, had the Demon's final fate really fallen outside the Major's expectations?
Thinking back on it now, Deputy Director Liu's appearance at the FZDC-sealed scene, as someone from the Bureau of Anomalous Investigation, had itself been somewhat abrupt and uninvited—
Bai Zhou could not help shuddering. A storm raged in his mind, and countless thoughts surged through him in an instant.
He truly could not understand why Deputy Director Liu, a high-ranking figure in the Bureau of Anomalous Investigation and a big shot Above Level 6—even someone the entire Purple Thorn Group had to treat with respect—would have any reason
