Chapter 549: Chapter 419: I’m Not Worthy

Romel was woken up from a dream, confirmed three times before he was sure he hadn’t misheard.

He punched hard, directly collapsing half of his bed, ”Good job, Poliana, good job, Ye Family!”

His wife, who originally slept in another room, was also startled awake and walked over drowsily.

After listening to a couple of sentences, she couldn’t help but ask, ”Apart from these two families being suspects, could those foreign teachers at the academy also be involved?”

”That bunch from the academy?” Romel sneered at the mention, ”Hertman’s brother-in-law has already chickened out!”

Most people have some bias against the academy folks, always feeling they are good with academics but really lousy in combat.

Romel’s wife didn’t agree with this answer, ”What if they bring in Cheng Qingshan?”

Cheng Qingshan’s name is not just big on Star No. 4.

Being the first under the Supreme, his reputation is even more resounding than the Supreme’s. Many people can’t call out the Supreme’s name, but they definitely know him.

Romel snorted disapprovingly at this, ”Cheng Qingshan... If they could bring him in, things wouldn’t be like this now!”

Cheng Qingshan was a bit quirky, protecting the academy’s dignity was fine, but asking him for a personal favor was like climbing heaven.

Poliana arrived at her little office building half an hour before work started.

In the past, if there was nothing to do, she wouldn’t come this early; she’d have breakfast with family before leisurely heading to work.

If there was any unexpected situation, being late was also normal; after all, no one checked her attendance.

But this morning, the power was out at home, making it inconvenient to prepare breakfast.

She went to the small canteen at work.

There weren’t many people having breakfast in the small canteen, just thirteen or fourteen people scattered in groups of threes and twos, chatting while eating.

As soon as she walked in, someone noticed her, and their expression instantly turned horrified, immediately falling silent.

The terrifying atmosphere was contagious, and soon others who turned to look also stopped talking.

Poliana felt like the moment she walked in, someone pressed a mute button, and the noisy canteen suddenly became silent.

She didn’t mind, though. Recently, she had been entangled with Donastar, and there were people slandering her reputation.

So it wasn’t strange for her colleagues to react unusually upon seeing her.

However, what was with these people’s gazes?

There were furtive glances coming her way, but instead of mockery or schadenfreude, there was shock and fear.

This was a little odd... Poliana wondered silently as she got her meal and began to eat.

While she was eating, more people entered in groups of threes and twos, and when they saw her, their expressions were also slightly stunned.

Nobody passed by her side, all choosing to walk around from afar.

Poliana felt even more depressed, but she kept it to herself.

A female Modified Warrior walked in, saw her, was briefly stunned, and then tried to avoid her.

Poliana looked at her indifferently, with a hint of disappointment in her eyes—she had always looked after this child.

The female Modified Warrior hesitated after seeing this look, got her meal, and strode over to sit across from her.

Poliana looked up, slowly chewing her food, and gazed calmly at her.

The Modified Warrior hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice, ”Sis, was it really you?”

”Hmm?” Poliana frowned, swallowed her food, and asked in a deep voice, ”What did I do?”

”Last night...” The female Modified Warrior looked around, noticing many were watching her from the corners of their eyes.

She gritted her teeth and asked in an even quieter voice, ”Last night, Donastar was shot dead with a sniper rifle.”

”Ah?” Poliana was stunned, and she immediately understood why others were giving her that look.

However, she was more concerned about the cause of Donastar’s death.

”How could it be? That guy’s defense was so tight, and he’s Earth Attribute, ready to armor up at the slightest hint of trouble, and he got sniped?”

If someone had said Donastar was forcibly killed, she might have believed it, but a sniper shot... seemed really unexpected.

”I heard it was a through-wall sniping,” the female Modified Warrior spoke softly, ”The killer is extremely skilled.”

”Through-wall sniping?” Poliana was momentarily dazed, that guy actually provoked such a person?

But, provoked or not, the two had long since severed ties. Those tender memories had faded away many years ago.

Even his provocations a few days ago couldn’t stir her anger, merely seeming a bit ridiculous and pathetic.

All sorts of thoughts flashed through her mind as she composed herself, lightly asking, ”Then he died. Do they think I did it?”

The female Modified Warrior didn’t answer, just looked at her silently: What do you think?

Poliana ignored her, merely furrowing her brows slightly, ”You all knew, why didn’t anyone tell me?”

As soon as she spoke, she realized she had said the wrong thing. Being the prime suspect, how could others pass the news to her?

Even her closest colleagues couldn’t conveniently inform her.

Thinking of this, she smiled wryly, ”Haha, turns out I was the last to know about this news.”

The female Modified Warrior rather trusted her, and upon hearing this, asked in astonishment, ”Is this... someone trying to frame you?”

”I’m probably not worth the hassle of being harmed by them,” Poliana replied nonchalantly.

A B-level Earth Attribute sniper assassination through walls—any force that can hire such a killer wouldn’t need to go to such trouble to deal with her.

”He’s done so many evil deeds; who knows how many enemies he has? Just look at his security,”

”That would be for the best,” the female Modified Warrior breathed a sigh of relief at these words.

But then, her brow furrowed again, ”However, I suspect the Patrol Guard will still come to question you.”

”I’m not afraid,” Poliana stated calmly, ”After all, I’m an Imperial official, as long as it’s not wrongful allegations.”

Speaking of investigations, later in the morning, a collaboration notice was sent to the Engineering College.

Donastar’s Cultivation Level may not have been high, but his social status was very high, and the sniper killing of a B-level Warrior in a bustling area was a big event.

Moreover, an A-level Black Wood Guest was also sniped on the spot.

The notice from the Patrol Guard was to inform the academy that they suspected four people from Green Water Academy and wanted to investigate.

Investigation is a rather polite term, but the wording was very harsh, indicating it was ”a notification, not a request.”

Cheng Qingshan was taking a walk, the notice was handed to him, he glanced at it and threw it to the ground, ”To hell with it!”

The sky was ominously dark, a thunderclap sounded, and large raindrops began to fall.

The Guard Team member who handed the notice hesitated slightly, ”Boss, this is... an official document!”

”I acknowledge it, and then it’s an official document!” Cheng Qingshan snorted, ”This Patrol Guard is getting more and more capable!”

”The death of a Mine Master is actually linked to the academy’s foreign teacher... How many people die in Fengrao City every day?”

The Guard Team member hesitated, lowered his voice, ”But... it’s said the deceased was targeting Poliana...”

These rumors had been spreading wildly these days, though there were many twists and turns, they weren’t hard to understand.

He thought the boss didn’t know the situation, so of course, he had to explain a bit.

”Don’t tell me these trivial matters,” Cheng Qingshan waved his hand, interrupting him bluntly.

”There are plenty of deaths in Fengrao every day, if they all come to investigate our foreign teacher... the academy wouldn’t have time for teaching.”

The raindrops had become dense, and the official document on the ground was getting soaked by the rain.

The Guard Team member got the hint, ”So they’re making... unreasonable demands?”

Cheng Qingshan snorted, ”Tell them, if they send such baseless stuff again, I’ll go to the Patrol Headquarters to demand justice!”

At the same time, Zi Jiu Immortal came to the library to find Qu Jianlei, some things really couldn’t be said over a wristwatch.

”Last night’s events... did you do it?”

”Mm,” Qu Jianlei nodded, ”Don’t worry, there are no traces.”

He used a Spiritual Attack, but with the sniper rifle, it was a clean headshot, leaving no traces on the body.

Zi Jiu Immortal blinked, a bit incredulous, ”But that Black Wood Guest was A-level, could you really snipe him?”

”That one who half-assedly uses Invisibility Technique with Wood Attribute?” Qu Jianlei replied dismissively with a smile.

”Needs external aids, this level of skill is just for deceiving people.”

Zi Jiu Immortal blinked twice, ”But he had Wood Attribute, could pass through walls, and you still sniped him?”

”An Earth Attribute might endure it,” Qu Jianlei responded casually, ”Wood Attribute... hehe.”

”Wood Attribute indeed lacks a bit,” a voice rang from behind them.

Zi Jiu Immortal turned around sharply, then breathed a sigh of relief, ”You startled me with your silent approach!”

”Which is why you’re a bit lacking,” Xiang Xue raised her hand, pointing at Qu Jianlei, ”See, he didn’t even react.”

Qu Jianlei turned around unhurriedly, rolling his eyes, ”Are you implying I’m rather slow?”

”Alright, you’re quite slow,” Xiang Xue laughed charmingly, as she knew more about Panda than Zi Jiu Immortal did.

Since Panda didn’t want her to say more, she held back, but couldn’t resist showing off a bit.

”Even facing off directly, Black Wood Guest wouldn’t be his match.”

”That I know,” Zi Jiu Immortal nodded, she wasn’t unaware of that, ”I meant the sniper rifle.”

”The sniper rifle isn’t important,” Xiang Xue waved her hand, looking at Qu Jianlei with keen interest.

”Why target Donastar, wouldn’t directly taking down Romel be better?”

Qu Jianlei blinked, asking in a low voice, ”Do you know what Donastar did... disgusting, isn’t it?”

Xiang Xue nodded, as a woman, she naturally sympathized with Poliana—utterly uncalled for.

However, ”Disgusting as it was, Romel is the mastermind, Donastar was just a blade.”

”There are countless disgusting things in this world, can we manage them all? Cutting off the source is the real deal.”

Qu Jianlei responded leisurely, ”But, I still have my eye on those 50,000 silver coins.”

Xiang Xue was stunned again at these words, ”The deposit that Gwendolyn took? What do you mean by this?”
