Chapter 880: Chapter 880 Mysterious Mark
As the hidden weapon box clicked, Julius Reed’s head jerked aside!
The dart whizzed past, grazing his hair and striking right into the Starlight Group underling behind him.
The underling, completely unguarded, fell directly into a pool of blood.
"You really dare to trigger the hidden weapon box?"
Smack!
Julius Reed struck out with his palm, knocking the hidden weapon box to the ground.
He grabbed it in his hand.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
He stood up and triggered two more hidden weapon boxes toward the people behind him.
In the room, out of the original four Starlight Group leaders, only one was left alive.
"You... you really are Mad Dragon..."
Ben Weather was the person in charge of this operation, holding an extremely high position within the Starlight Group.
He normally served as the leader of the action team.
His high-ranking position wasn’t due to age or experience, but because of his proficient combat skills!
Even the new recruits of the Starlight Group were personally trained by him!
But today!
Ben Weather felt like a failure.
Facing a youth, he couldn’t even muster the strength for a fight!
And at such a close distance, he couldn’t even manage to kill his opponent with a hidden weapon box.
For the first time in decades, Ben Weather began to doubt himself.
"I told you, I’m the person you’re looking for,"
Julius Reed looked down at Ben Weather from above, asking coldly, "Now that you’ve found me, what would you like to do?"
"I..."
Ben Weather’s throat moved, but he didn’t dare to speak.
Or rather, he didn’t know what to say.
What to say?
They had come here to pursue the truth behind Blade’s death.
Now, the truth was unfolded.
The killer, Mad Dragon.
But what could he do?
Four years ago, all powers united couldn’t overthrow Mad Dragon!
Could he, an action team leader of the Starlight Group, kill Mad Dragon?
"Leader!"
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from the door.
Clearly, the sound of the hidden weapon boxes had alarmed the members of the Starlight Group.
The door had just been pushed open.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Julius Reed triggered two more hidden weapon boxes.
Two members of the Starlight Group hadn’t even realized what was happening before they fell dead to the ground.
The rest stood dumbfounded at the doorway.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Another round of hidden weapon box sounds followed.
One after another, people fell into pools of blood.
"Scram!" Julius Reed bellowed.
The remaining members of the Starlight Group immediately dodged out of the way.
They weren’t foolish.
With their companions already dead, there was no point in stepping forward themselves.
And with Ben Weather under control, they were without leadership, clueless about what to do.
It was better to wait outside the door.
To observe any changes.
And incidentally, to send a message to the headquarters.
"I’ll show you something,"
Julius Reed pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, unfolded it, and placed it in front of Ben Weather.
"If you recognize the emblem on it, I might consider sparing your life," n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
"This..."
Ben Weather was extremely shocked, but he tried hard to stabilize his emotions.
The more critical the moment, the more he needed to stay clear-headed!
On the paper was a pattern.
Above was the moon, below was the sun.
It was eerie.
But, somewhat familiar.
"If you can’t answer within half a minute," Julius Reed took out the hidden weapon box, which still contained one last dart.
"I will send you on your way."
He had come to the Moonshadow Hotel personally to use the Starlight Group’s people to investigate the truth behind Isabella Warm’s disappearance years ago.
The Starlight Group is subordinate to the martial world organization and is still the hegemon of East Asia!
Perhaps, you might recognize this symbol.
"I seem to... seem to have seen it before..."
Ben Weather blinked his eyes and suddenly slapped his forehead.
"I remember now! This is the symbol of Thunderpeak Hall!"
"Nonsense!"
Julius Reed raised the hidden weapon box in his hand, aiming it at Ben Weather’s head, "The symbol of Thunderpeak Hall is a swastika! This is something that many people are familiar with."
When Granny Xihua founded Thunderpeak Hall, she once voluntarily submitted to the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance!
In return, Julius Reed used to give her a pill every thirty years.
It was because of the pills’ blessings that Granny Xihua lived for nearly three hundred years!
However, due to the accidental loss of the Divine Dragon Tripod ten years ago, the pills that the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance was supposed to deliver to Granny Xihua did not arrive on time.
This led to Thunderpeak Hall’s involvement in the rebellion.
Even, they conspired with those traitors from the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance.
But Julius Reed always felt that things were not quite as they seemed.
Granny Xihua had thoughts of revolt long ago.
Even why he gave Granny Xihua the pills in the first place had become unclear to him.
According to his way of doing things, such acts of prolonging someone’s life were rare for him to undertake!
How many emperors over the years had begged him, to no avail, for a single pill.
So, why had he supported Thunderpeak Hall for three hundred years, for what purpose?
"Please hear me out..."
Ben Weather was so scared that he was sweating profusely.
He pointed at the diagram, took a deep breath, and began to explain.
"You are Mad Dragon, so you should be very clear about the unique existence that is Thunderpeak Hall."
Ben Weather clutched his chest with both hands, appearing to be in great pain.
"Before Brysen Beaumont arrived at Thunderpeak Hall, it was just an insignificant organization in the martial world. Even then, my Starlight Group could have destroyed it!"
"Continue."
Julius Reed nodded.
The martial world is cruel.
The law of the jungle is their rule.
Back then, although Granny Xihua had lived for more than a hundred years, Thunderpeak Hall could only be considered a typical organization due to the lack of truly powerful experts.
It couldn’t be mentioned in the same breath as the hegemon of East Asia.
"At that time, the symbol of Thunderpeak Hall was this!"
Ben Weather pointed to the pattern: "The sun and moon in radiance! The moon above, the sun below! It is said that when Granny Xihua founded Thunderpeak Hall, she personally drew this symbol!"
"The sun represents her man. The moon, on the other hand, represents herself!"
"Later, the well-known swastika symbol was adopted after Brysen Beaumont’s arrival when Thunderpeak Hall’s status rose significantly."
After Ben Weather finished, he licked his lips and asked, "I’ve spoken all I know, can you perhaps..."
No one is not afraid of dying.
He is no exception.
Being the head of the action group within the Starlight Group, he had no worries about food and clothing!
He also controlled immense power.
Ben Weather did not want to die.
"You said, Granny Xihua had a man?"
Julius Reed’s eyebrows furrowed.
Now he indeed remembered, it seemed like there was such a story.
Back when Thunderpeak Hall was not well-known, not many people knew them.
This resulted in the symbol of the sun and moon in radiance being recognized by only a very small number of people.
Later, when Brysen Beaumont parachuted into Thunderpeak Hall, he elevated it to the level of a sect at once!
After that, Thunderpeak Hall became the hegemon of the Americas!
Becoming well-known to all.
"Indeed, there was such a rumor, but according to common sense, that man should have died long ago."
Ben Weather’s clothes were soaked through.
His eyes never left the hidden weapon box in Julius Reed’s hands, and he began to pray silently in his heart.
"A man..."
Julius Reed vaguely felt that something was amiss.
Why did the investigation become more complex the deeper he delved?
He obtained a top-secret document from the Seven Clouds Academy and discovered that Devlin, who planned the Gonzalez City incident, was a core member of the Seven Clouds Academy!
Now!
Granny Xihua is linked to the disappearance of Isabella Warm four years ago.
What on earth is going on with Thunderpeak Hall!
Whoosh!
Julius Reed suddenly activated the mechanism, then threw the hidden weapon box onto the ground and slowly walked away.
Within the Moonshadow Hotel.
Ben Weather’s eyes widened, his face covered in blood.
