About half an hour later, Sui Xiong smiled again.
A cold smile brimming with murderous intent.
While Clito had been taking a leisurely stroll through the streets, he caught someone attempting to poison the relief food for the refugees—a ratman.
Having learned quite a bit from Easter lately, Clito's skills had improved greatly. Without much effort, he pried open the ratman's mouth and uncovered the person behind it.
It was a chubby fellow in a white robe.
Though that person had covered his face and deliberately altered his voice, none of that posed a problem for Sui Xiong.
By tracing back through time, he easily found the culprit—it was the bearded pigman who had previously argued with the old elephantman.
Clito's sword-like brows shot up, and it took all his effort to suppress his killing intent. Yet Sui Xiong, who had been radiating murderous intent before, had instead become devoid of it by now.
With a sweep of his tentacle, he froze the bearded pigman inside a block of ice. Then they quietly took the block away, without alerting any of the other pigmen in the house.
They soon arrived at Easter's residence, which also served as the intelligence personnel training center. Having received Sui Xiong's notice beforehand, Easter had long been prepared. The moment he acted, he served the pigman a "lavish feast" so dreadful that even Clito's scalp tingled. Before the fellow had even finished enjoying the "service" of a top-class spy, he obediently confessed everything.

This organization had always been devoted to spreading faith in the Orc Pantheon and striking at those whose faith was insufficiently devout—mainly through persecuting half-orcs. In practice, they were fond of exporting refugees, inciting unrest, and frequently carrying out massacres and living sacrifices
