Chapter 1774: Words
Wiping the cream from the corner of his mouth, the Upper Evil Spirit stood beside the road and looked down over the commercial district, which had already returned to calm.
It had happened just as quickly as Boss had expected.
Not only had sharpshooters been deployed, but members of the Royal Guard who possessed secret arts were there as well.
After sweeping his gaze over several spots in the commercial district, the Upper Evil Spirit turned toward one end of the street, where a cloaked man was striding toward him.
A similarly dressed man appeared at the other end of the street.
The moment the two men appeared, their icy killing intent locked onto him.
The Upper Evil Spirit was certain that anyone else would have struggled to escape that lock, even if they turned and jumped off the Upper Seventh Ring right now.
Because this was not merely killing intent.
It was reinforced by secret arts.
Of course, the Upper Evil Spirit could still break free by force if he wanted to.
But why would he do that?
After all, he was currently "Runkal," a man who got by on his silver tongue.
So before the two men could approach, he raised both hands.
The two men were clearly surprised by Runkal's cooperation. They slowed their steps and looked at the Upper Evil Spirit hesitantly.
The Upper Evil Spirit looked back at them.
His gaze pierced the shadows beneath their hoods, revealing their true faces.
Those vaguely familiar faces allowed the Upper Evil Spirit to identify them instantly.
Without a doubt, they were members of the Silent Night Secret Society.
But they were not Councilor Koripo's subordinates from Runkal's memories. They served another councilor.
Runkal's scheme had worked!
Councilor Koripo had come under suspicion!
No!
