Chapter 619 Secret Mission

"This" The guy looked down, contemplating. He couldn't help but remember what happened before the expedition.

Back then, he received a summon from his mentor, the previous captain of the Demon Beholder Squad.

He stood there, looking at an old man who seemed to have been too weak to move.

"Septa" The guy smiled while calling his name. His eyes were closed, but he seemed to be able to find Septa without any problems.

"Yes, Sir. I have arrived upon your call. May I know why you call me here? You are not a person who would call me without any reason, so I'm afraid" Septa didn't continue, but the meaning was already clear.

Since he had predicted it, the old man didn't even bother to hide it anymore. He said, "I got a piece of information from an old friend, you see"

"An old friend?"

"Yeah. That freak who lurked in the shadow. It's a pretty interesting piece of information, you see."

"I think you should cut to the chase."

"Alright then." The old man smiled. "I am asking you, as your mentor as well as the previous captain of the Demon Beholder Squad, to investigate the Plant Lord during the expedition."

"Hmm? You have received information about the expedition? And why the Plant Lord?"

"According to my information, the Plant Lord seems to be related to the Supreme Devil Organization in one way or another. Unfortunately, we don't have any proof right now. The only thing we know is that the Plant Lord has a high probability of s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g all of you during the expedition."

"That's why I want you to investigate him." The old man paused for a moment. "You should understand by now. The main reason for you to be my successor was your ability The Spirit with sixth sense where it can track all traces of Spiritual Energy and project it with the Barrier Ability"

"That ability is so powerful, especially in our line of work. And because it's too dangerous and sensitive, I and the commander have been keeping your ability a secret since you are one of the trump cards to finding the Supreme Devil Organization."

"People only know that you can project something with your barrier ability, they don't know where the projection comes from."

"That's why in this investigation, I want you to give the Plant Lord an opportunity to screw all of you. Basically, allow him to be alone where he can utilize his ability."

"And we will use your ability to prove his action."

Septa thought for a moment. "Are you saying that we should expose my ability?"

"No. You just have to confirm and gather the proof with your ability. That's all."

"So, I don't need to kill them? To be honest, my strength is not equal to the Plant Lord."

"That's why I'm only asking you to gather the proof. As long as you confirm that the Plant Lord is doing something bad to the group, I want you to put a note with whatever you can find as confirmation."

"The rest will be handled by the others. Well, to put it simply, let the executors do their jobs."

"!!!" Septa widened his eyes in shock. Although he could gather the proof, if he had to prove it, he had to reveal the secret of his ability. So, there was no way the commander would do it just to prove that they were not related to the Plant Lord's death.

Hence, the only outcome of this execution was friction between the Demon Banner Army and the Tower a.s.sociation. There was no way the elders wouldn't hold the Demon Banner Army accountable, considering they lent the elders so that they could investigate the surroundings.

In other words, they were not there as their fighting force to begin with. So, their safety was under the Demon Banner Army's care. That was why the Tower a.s.sociation would use this to cause some problems for the Demon Banner Army.

Septa couldn't agree to this. There were only four people who knew about his true ability: his mentor, the commander, the adjudicator, and himself. All of them were related to the Demon Banner Army; this showed how much Septa cared about the army. There was no way he wanted to harm them like this.

The old man saw through him and said, "You don't have to worry about it, Septa. We have prepared for everything. There won't be any problem with the Demon Banner Army. If something happens to the Demon Banner Army, you can go to me again."

Septa was hesitant, but it seemed that the old man was confident with his plan.

After some consideration, he finally nodded his head. "I understand. I shall follow your plan. Is there anything else I need to know?"

"The executioner is my old pal. I don't understand how his mind works, but if you somehow meet him, be respectful."

"" Septa couldn't comment on that since it wasn't that important.

Though, when he remembered the conversation at this time, Septa couldn't help but look at the mushroom and said, "It seems that the Plant Lord has betrayed the kingdom and humanity. There is no proof that the Plant Lord did it for the organization, but he must be doing it for a kind of plot"

"That's why my job is to investigate, not to execute or prosecute that person. After this, I shall begin a full investigation regarding the Plant Lord to see his current affiliation. If he's truly related to the organization, then I shall expose him."

"And this kind of job will be easy since I don't think the Plant Lord will leave this place alive, meaning that no one will take care of his things anymore."

"Isn't that right, Mr. Executor? No, I should be polite to you Sir Executor."

Septa talked as if he knew there was someone in the room. Actually, Septa didn't know whether that executor was still in the room or not. What he knew was that the executor once visited this room.

In the recording earlier, he noticed a slight change in the shadow. It was the only trace he needed.

He suddenly turned around, looking at the wall. To his surprise, the wall suddenly had a human shadow that turned out to be the extension of his shadow.

This shadow had a blood-red mouth and eyes as if it was alive. And this shadow suddenly smiled.
