CHAPTER 799: CHAPTER 497: WHAT YOU WANT IS WHAT I WANT_3

"However, there are many Blinding Spells within the layout of this isolated island; after it was built, the Gang Position was concealed, and I can’t discern it,"

So, the Yellow Springs Sword is in this castle?

Following Sui Yi, Zhong Lang tempered his past hostility somewhat, and said very formally, "Miss Sui is benevolent; we, the Imperial Guards, will not take your kindness for granted..."

Sui Yi glanced at him and said indifferently, "I mentioned it only because you couldn’t overpower me; it’s not really a favor. Let’s not speak too soon."

Two Imperial Guards: "...."

Goddess, must you be this cunning?

"Right, regarding this mastermind, have you found anything constructive? I think Landis seems a bit suspicious," said Cao Ling, stroking his chin.

"Do you suspect he killed Yale?"

"Currently, the most likely scenarios are, first, Hellfire Castle, it must be aware, otherwise how could this castle have so many designs? Hence, Prince Yale is a key point! Second, the person who killed Prince Yale might have wanted to take control of Hellfire Castle, or it might be that Yale knew something he shouldn’t have, and was silenced. Third, as just mentioned, the Yellow Springs Sword is in Hellfire Castle. We assume that the mastermind’s goal involves Yellow Springs Naihe or the secrets sealed by the Yellow Springs Naihe Seal. Both paths lead back to Hellfire Castle, so the one who has the capacity to kill Prince Yale and take over Hellfire could be narrowed down to three parties!"

Zhong Lang paused then added, "I am simply analyzing objectively."

Sui Yi’s expression was cool: "It goes without saying that one of the parties is me."

"Yes," Zhong Lang gestured, "Your power is hard to define, and you probably know that. Although on the surface you are not strong enough to compete with Yale, personally, I find you to be quite frightful. Of course, you don’t have an alibi, so you can be ruled out."

"Another likely party is Rose Prince Natasha who, right from the start, we realized harbors an old grudge against Yale. She came to Hellfire uninvited, and upon her arrival, no one in Hellfire was able to intercept or react in time—"

This implies that Natasha’s party is no less powerful than Yale’s.

"Moreover, the most obvious evidence is from when Yale was killed, which we all witnessed. The manner of the murder... you all must still be haunted by it,"

Those eyes...

Sui Yi cast her gaze downward; in terms of power and even the method of murder, it seemed to be Natasha.

And she also had a motive.

It seemed there was no turning back...

"But what’s strange is, with Natasha’s current strength, no one could be her match. Given her character, why wouldn’t she just admit it?"

The tense atmosphere just now in Hellfire Castle... was quite frightening.

Yet Natasha deliberately acted with what seemed like arrogance but in reality was permissiveness...

"But she didn’t deny it either," Sui Yi said lightly.

"So that’s why it’s strange," Zhong Lang fiddled with his fingers, "perhaps she has a hidden agenda, not wanting to kill us all for now... maybe she wants to use us to find something."

This comment resonated with everyone present, even Sui Yi felt a slight stir.

To be used?

"Only those with value are spared," Yi had said coldly...

Zhong Lang looked at her and said, "And the third party! Landis and his group... The Northern Ice Wolf Clan is overall stronger than Prince Yale’s forces, after all, it’s a clan, and Landis’s status is prestigious. His coming here today seems to have ulterior motives; plus, his good relationship with Prince Yale is apparent from the trust Hellfire Castle people had in him just now—"

Perhaps, he is the real mastermind aiming to incite a war between Natasha and Hellfire Castle and profit as the spectator...

"This tactic reminds me of the recent Ron and Foss—third parties profiting," Cao Ling remarked quietly.

Hey, speaking of which, it really does seem to fit.

"These three parties are currently the most likely..." Zhong Lang concluded, looking at Following Sui Yi, "I think people outside are probably analyzing it this way too..."
