At that moment, Taishan genuinely felt a murderous urge.
He shot Wu Degang a meaningful glance. If Wu Degang understood what he meant, Taishan would act without hesitation and kill Feng Dengfeng first.
Once Feng Dengfeng was dead, there'd be no witnesses, and they could tell Lord Tree Ancestor whatever they wanted. They could even pin the label of Human Faction spy directly on Feng Dengfeng. So what?
Little Zhang was someone he'd promoted, and Little Deer was from the Female Camp. The two people currently under the most suspicion could both be called members of Feng Dengfeng's faction.
Everyone knew the Female Camp had close ties with Feng Dengfeng's faction.
They could even claim that Sister Fan's death had been Feng Dengfeng's doing. She'd discovered the truth about his collusion with the Human Faction and confronted him, so he'd silenced her.
The chain of evidence might not have been perfect, but the overall story would hold together.
At least, it would be convincing enough for Lord Tree Ancestor.
As long as Feng Dengfeng was dead, only he and Old Wu would be left as important Top Agents in the core district. The mysterious Wizard had never involved himself in these mundane affairs.
Did Lord Tree Ancestor think he could afford to kill him and Old Wu too? It was true that Lord Tree Ancestor could recruit people and find new agents, but that was nowhere near as easy as he made it sound.
They hadn't even stepped fully into the other side's trap. Were they supposed to put their other foot in as well, until the trap buried them?
Otherwise, even if Lord Tree Ancestor favored him, after a disaster this huge, Lord Tree Ancestor couldn't protect him. He wouldn't be able to silence everyone.
Fight?
