One-Eyed Monster

Igor’s assurance was baffling; no one understood where Igor got the confidence to say that.

How could he determine that these Soul Spirits weren’t his enemies? This was reckless; without figuring everything out, he couldn’t be so hasty.

But Igor is just Igor, he wouldn’t worry so much. He believed these spirits were harmless and naturally let them leave without further investigation.

For Igor, this was routine, but in the eyes of Rostov and others, it symbolized recklessness. Letting go of such an important clue so easily was something unacceptable.

However, there was nothing to be done now; Stan Sol seemed to trust Igor, quickly putting away the Battle Pet Fiery Blaze, clearing a large space in front of these Dead Souls.

Even if Dean Hoffman and Governor Rostov found this inappropriate, it was too late to change it, because after the Dead Souls said thanks, they really dispersed just like that.

The faces of Rostov and Hoffman were filled with shock. They had already encountered something astonishing, but they didn’t expect their companion to bring them another bizarre action, leaving them flabbergasted.

”Reckless!”

”Childish!”

”Too careless!”

”You must consider the consequences!”

These two guys began to berate Igor like popping beans, throwing every word they could think of. If not for their positions, they might have already started cursing.

”You just let those Dead Souls leave; we still have a lot of questions to ask them?”

”They did say quite a bit, but we haven’t fully confirmed if what they said is true or not!”

”You did it like this without consulting everyone. If nothing else, at least consider Sol’s effort. He worked hard to capture them, you should at least ask him...”

In the midst of the storm, Igor didn’t flinch, letting Hoffman and Rostov criticize him in turns.

But Perkins couldn’t stand it anymore. It wasn’t that he thought Igor was right, but he felt that so many people surrounding Igor at the moment was wrong. It was clear that everyone needed to unite, mistakes are made, it’s no big deal, as long as they pay attention and correct them in the future, there’s no need to keep obsessing over it, which would be discouraging for the whole team.

”Alright, alright, what’s done is done, complaining and regret are useless. Let’s think about what to do next instead of blaming Igor; that’s not a good solution,” Perkins said, revealing that he also disapproved of Igor’s actions.

”Yes, what’s done is done, let’s take it step by step.” Everyone tried to console themselves, though their tone still carried a sense of regret...

”We’ve gotten what we wanted, why make them stay?” Igor felt there was nothing wrong with his actions!

”Didn’t we just tell you about the pros and cons? Firstly, we haven’t separated truth from lie yet, and secondly, we might need to uncover deeper information!” Dean Hoffman reiterated their previous expectations.

Indeed, they had hoped to learn more from the Dead Souls through Igor.

However, Igor had dashed their hopes.

Just letting those Dead Souls go, really, oh, just thinking about it gives them a headache, this Igor, really different from others.

And yet, this unique Igor said something again that surprised them.

”Firstly, the spirits were truthful; they haven’t reached a level of deceit. Secondly, there was nothing more to extract from them,” Igor stated casually, without realizing that his light remark had pushed others into a state of collapse.

Everyone just quietly watched Igor, speechless.

”Why are you all staring at me? Now that we know the information, just straighten it out,” Igor felt confused.

In reality, the more bewildered ones should be everyone except Igor, but at that moment they had to stay calm, thinking Igor’s current state was abnormal.

Stan Sol hadn’t spoken, he trusted Igor, so he didn’t join the others in their accusations. Hustace hesitated, wondering if he should also rationally deal with his friend, after all, he felt Igor was wrong. As for Dean Hoffman and Governor Rostov, they had always felt Igor’s actions were improper...

Whereas Perkins exhibited a kind of generosity, different from anyone else. Though he disagreed with Igor’s actions, he didn’t fixate on it, instead aligning himself with Igor.

Perkins kept saying, ”Now let’s all discuss how to face this, because as everyone should realize, many things were different from our previous understanding.”

After all, they all shared the same goal, and with this being the case, as everyone calmed down, they began new thoughts.

Considering the information obtained, they were currently at a disadvantage.

But it wasn’t apocalyptic since they still knew a few things.

Like the mastermind behind it all.

”Now it can be confirmed that the massacre the Sol Family faced was orchestrated by someone else, unrelated to Luona,” Dean Hoffman spoke first, believing that this moment should give Governor Rostov justice.

”Indeed, the Poisonous Bugs were from the Bruell Family, but the real controllers of the Bruell Family were the Gaoju Family. It’s astounding that such things were orchestrated by an expert beside Queen Wensi,” Perkins supplemented. The Dead Souls’ accounts had been very revealing to him; for one, he felt he could narrate his own story like that in the future, and secondly, he clarified the context of the Dead Souls’ grievances.

”However, the Gaoju Family is merely a clown, a puppet, and the mastermind behind it all is truly terrifying,” Stan Sol added, emphasizing the importance of understanding these matters to him.

”It’s hard to clarify what kind of force is at play, but I’m certain the enemies we face next aren’t going to be simple ones.”
