"Contact Fusang..."
Hook-nosed Man George gave the order. As a Seven-Eyed member of the Truth Society, he already had the authority to liaise with nations.
Besides, Fusang had been propped up by the Truth Society in the first place.
"Yes." The chinese man beside him nodded.
A short while later...
The video call to Susa Genmu connected.
"Greetings, Lord George."
When Susa Genmu saw George's expressionless face, his heart skipped a beat.
But he had long since prepared himself for this. No. 232, an artificial human, had taken the Magma Spirit Crystal and been ambushed the moment he left Fusang. Fusang definitely could not shake off suspicion.
"Hand over the Magma Spirit Crystal, and your Fusang can be treated leniently."
Hook-nosed Man George stared coldly at Susa Genmu.
"The Magma Spirit Crystal? Wasn't that taken away by Lord No. 232?"
Susa Genmu sounded shocked.
"Taken away?"
George sneered. "Your Fusang sent people to set up an ambush beneath the flight route in advance and stole the Magma Spirit Crystal. Did you think I wouldn't know?"
"Lord George, that's impossible. What reason would we have to do such a thing?"
Susa Genmu faintly sensed that something was wrong. George's questioning was far too certain, as if he had all but confirmed that Fusang was behind it.
But how was that possible? Hadn't Susa Genpu's plan included shifting the blame eastward? They were supposed to make the neighboring Xia Kingdom bear the brunt of the Truth Society's suspicion.
Could some unexpected variable have appeared in Susa Genpu's plan?
As his thoughts raced, Susa Genmu could only play dumb. This was the kind of thing he absolutely must not admit.
"Then why were traces of Chizuru Ichiyo's blood found at the scene?"
George stared at Susa Genmu. Chizuru Ichiyo's blood was ironclad evidence.
