CHAPTER 730: CHAPTER 439: BLOODLINE CLUES

The violent explosion at the abandoned factory, combined with three waves of rocket bombardments, alerted the defense system of Mitchell State.

Therefore, after a quick clean-up of the battlefield, Lu Heng’s team of four withdrew from the White Eagle Federation and returned to Coastal.

This trip to the White Eagle Federation, although they failed to retrieve the Life Tree Vine, they did manage to thwart an ambush plot by the Creator Organization.

As a result, this confrontation with the Creator Organization was brought out into the open.

Or it could be said that the Berg Family came out into the open.

If they could locate the core members of the Berg Family, they might replicate the strategy used against the Planter family.

However, ever since the Planter family was defeated, the families within the ASE Alliance have become smarter, avoiding family gatherings easily and even beginning to use Transformers as stand-ins.

As such, finding the location of the Berg Family’s core members is quite difficult.

Especially Will Berg, there’s no trace of his whereabouts.

Moreover, reports often mention that this person has mental issues, canceling scheduled plans without reason, resulting in low intel accuracy.

Not only did the action at the Layden City genetic laboratory fail, but also the other six teams arranged by Dragon Power aborted their actions three minutes before initiation.

Thus, this large-scale cleanup operation did not meet its objective.

Luckily, all dispatched teams returned safely without any casualties.

A large-scale action being canceled calls for an investigation into the reasons and a review of the event.

Additionally, relevant meetings were held continuously for three days.

Lu Heng took a day of rest upon returning and attended the final meeting the next day.

"We have conducted two internal investigations and can confirm that the intelligence did not leak from Dragon Power or the Southern War Zone," Jian Qing said upon Lu Heng’s arrival, summarizing the investigation results.

Lu Heng nodded and said, "The intelligence leaked from Ke Yiming; I’ve confirmed this."

Jian Qing then asked, "You had already submitted the action report earlier; Ke Yiming is dead, right?"

Lu Heng nodded again, "Yes, Ke Yiming was blown to bits right in front of me in the big explosion in Mitchell State."

"Without Ke Yiming as an informant, obtaining intelligence on the Creator Organization will be difficult in the future." Jian Qing was dissatisfied with the outcome of the operation.

Lu Heng closed his eyes, meticulously recalling the events, hoping to find some useful clues.

After the big explosion, Lu Heng’s team eliminated the Superpower Users from the Creator Organization who ambushed them.

The data on these Superpower Users was submitted two days ago, so Lu Heng asked, "Were the identities of those who ambushed me discovered? With such high levels, they couldn’t be nobodies."

"Yes, they have been checked."

Jian Qing took out a file, pushed it to Lu Heng, and continued, "Here are the identity details of those six people, each coming from different Mercenary Organizations.

"Behind these Mercenary Organizations, there are traces of capital, conglomerates, or the ASE Alliance, more or less.

"Putting all clues together, it’s confirmed that these six came from different ASE families.

"Among them, the Bloodline Assassin is confirmed to be from the Berg Family and affiliated with the Mercenary Organization Red Spider.

"The one equipped with Steel Wings is part of the White Eagle Federation’s First Mercenary Organization, ’Delegate.’

"The remaining three have their family backgrounds unclear, with the Perceiver possessing the Superpower Guidance ability being the most deeply hidden in identity and background.

"It’s speculated this individual is cultivated by a family within the ASE Alliance, one who has access to arms deals. However, which family exactly remains unknown."

Lu Heng listened while recalling the events of that day, especially the Bloodline Assassin, who used the Blood Seal skill to forcefully fight after being shot.

This is a very typical Bloodline Clan ability, which is not an acquired skill.

In other words, the Skill Crystal Core wouldn’t exhibit the [Blood Seal]skill; only the Bloodline Clan would possess it.

This implies that this assassin Superpower User obtained a Bloodline Clan bloodline through some means.

Humans acquiring the Demon Bloodline is not frequent, but it isn’t unheard of.

There have been instances of Superpower Users obtaining the Dark Werewolf bloodline before, so another gaining the Bloodline Demon bloodline isn’t surprising.

"Bloodline Clan..."

Lu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling something.

In the Elf World, the Elf Clan had captured three Bloodline Summoners.

Lu Heng had interrogated these three Bloodline Demons, extracting a key piece of information from them.

The Bloodline Clan once descended to the Human World as Abyss Summoners.

However, after Lu Heng’s return, he checked all information on Blue Star becoming an Abyss Battlefield and found no traces of the Bloodline Clan appearing.

At that time, Lu Heng posited two possibilities.

The first was that the Bloodline Clan who descended to Blue Star killed every human they encountered, so no information leaked out.

The second was that a major force sealed off the news of the Bloodline Clan’s appearance.

Combining this with the intel of the Bloodline abilities held by this assassin Superpower User, a possible answer emerges.

According to the information provided by the Southern War Zone Intelligence Department, it is clear that this assassin Superpower User belongs to the Red Spider Superpower Mercenary Organization.

And the power managing Red Spider is the Berg Family.

Hence, it is quite possible that the force that sealed the news of the Bloodline Clan’s descent is the Berg Family.
