Chapter 418 Branch President

Nicholas is dead.

At the seventh second...

The last seven seconds of his life were the most painful and longest time in his life.

A shapeshifter who had lost his strongest incarnation was approached by a melee monster like Luo Jun. He had almost no power to resist on his own.

All his struggles were based on the powerful treasures he possessed.

However, the strange thing was that every time he wanted to take out a powerful life-saving item, he would be inexplicably obstructed. Either his action was interrupted by his opponent, or his hand shook and he took the wrong grid. During these seven seconds, he changed five or six treasures, none of which was really useful, and finally he died under Luo Jun's condensed energy.

Pulling his fingers out of Nikolai's temple and looking at the guy's unfocused eyes, Luo Jun deftly took away the valuables from him, collected the scattered treasures around him, then took out the assassin's cloak and put it on, swam away quickly, found a place with lush aquatic plants, and quietly surfaced.

At this time, a large number of onlookers had gathered on the shore of Xin Lake. Everyone was very curious about the huge monster that suddenly appeared and disappeared, and they took out their mobile phones to take pictures of the still turbulent lake surface.

But soon, staff from the Yuan Xiu Society arrived at the scene, took out runes that could modify people's memories, dispersed the onlookers, and then cordoned off the entire area around the New Lake. They used instruments to conduct detection and sent people to the bottom of the lake to check the situation.

Captain Cheng was also standing by the lake. Although he had no way to intervene when the battle was at its most intense, he was not idle. He reported the situation on the scene to the branch headquarters in a timely manner and also recorded a video of the scene.

The fight between Luo Jun and Nikolai lasted less than a minute, and Team Cheng only recorded the following tens of seconds. But even this short video clip attracted enough attention, and soon the branch headquarters sent a large number of personnel to assist in the investigation. Even the branch president, who rarely appeared in public, came to the scene in person.

"right here?"

The branch president of the Ming Cult, Xu Pingfei, just turned sixty this year. He is tall, with three-dimensional features and a handsome appearance. If it weren't for his obviously receding hairline that makes him look a little old, he would look like a young man in his forties.

Xu Pingfei held up his phone and compared it to the lake surface: "You were probably taking the photo from the direction of the hotel at that time?"

"I came out when I heard the noise." Captain Cheng took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Xu Pingfei. After seeing the cigarette, the latter subconsciously looked around.

"Mr. Yuan won't be back until next month..." Cheng Yuan said with a smile. President Xu also shook his head in self-mockery, took the cigarette, let Cheng Yuan light it, took a sip and spit it out, then took a big puff with satisfaction.

"The battle happened very quickly. I heard the sound of fighting outside, so I went to the window to check, and then I saw a huge monster standing by the lake. But soon, Michelle rushed over and knocked the monster into the water. Then the two of them started fighting in the lake, which lasted less than a minute."

Hearing Cheng Yuan's description of the situation at that time, Xu Pingfei frowned and said, "I watched the video, and Michelle's speed and strength are ridiculous...Have you confirmed her identity?"

"I did meet her this morning, and it was she who provided the clue, saying that the attacker was an enemy of the Hell Family." Captain Cheng said, "I didn't have much contact with her in the first place, but I couldn't see any problems face to face. If I had to say there was any doubt, she spoke Zhendan language quite well... But she was a representative after all, and the bodies and minds of cultivators have been strengthened, so it is easier for them to learn languages, so I didn't take it seriously. Now it seems that Michelle at that time should have been replaced..." "This is a bit troublesome..." Xu Pingfei frowned and took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand.

"Indeed..." Captain Cheng also shook his head: "Now, including Michelle, all the representatives of the Federation are missing. This is an international incident, and it is not easy to explain..."

"That's not what I'm talking about." Xu Pingfei shook his head and said, "The Federation's communication team withdrew several months ago. The ones left here are just members of the Hell Family, and they can't represent the Federation yet. If someone is missing, we should just follow the normal missing persons process and look for them and investigate them."

As he spoke, the branch president sighed, "What I'm really worried about is this mysterious strong man wearing Michelle's appearance... The fact that he can impersonate Michelle means that the disappearance of several people from the Hell Creek Family should be related to him. And the power he displayed is at least at the peak level, and it is a peak that the Yuan Xiu Society has never recorded!"

"Such a powerful existence is in Ningdong, but we are completely unaware of it. Don't you think this is terrifying?"

"This..." Captain Cheng nodded: "But at present, this mysterious strong man should have no ill will towards us... Judging from the monster breath that the attacker transformed into, if the destructive power is not restricted, let alone Xinhu, half of Ningdong City will probably be reduced to scorched earth..."

Just then, the salvage team received news that the attacker's body had been found.

Nikolai's body was dragged ashore with multiple fractures and a missing hand, but the real fatal wound was a bloody hole in his temple that almost penetrated his entire head.

This guy's face is exactly the same as the photo of the plane passenger retrieved by Team Cheng. It can be confirmed that he is the attacker who hurt Xingyang.

"Found it..." Captain Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, but Xu Pingfei beside him smacked his lips and said, "It's even more troublesome..."

"What's the trouble?" Team Leader Cheng asked curiously, "The attacker is confirmed dead, and the mysterious strong man doesn't seem to have any ill will towards us. Overall, the result is good, right?"

"He may not have any ill will towards us, but he obviously has ill will towards the Hell Creek Family..." Xu Pingfei shook his head. "You told me before that Michelle said the attackers were enemies of the Hell Creek Family?"

Captain Cheng nodded, and Xu Pingfei sighed and said, "Now we can be sure that Michelle is fake, so how credible are her words?"

"Look at this attacker. He's from the Federation, has blond hair, and has come all the way from the Hell Creek Family's homeland, Mountian State. He's also a master of the Transfiguration School... Which do you think is more likely, he's an enemy of the Hell Creek Family or a member of the Hell Creek Family?"

After hearing this, Captain Cheng thought for a moment and widened his eyes: "President, you mean..."

"Being able to play Michelle means that the collective disappearance of the Hell Creek family was probably caused by him..." Xu Pingfei narrowed his eyes: "The Hell Creek family must have received some kind of news, and arranged a strong man from the family to come to investigate overnight. The attack on Xingyang was probably also to collect intelligence. As a result, less than a day later, this top-level attacker was killed in the street..."

"What do you think is the relationship between the Hell Creek Family and this mysterious strong man?"
