Chapter 247
If it had not been Nash, it meant there was another terrifying powerful individual in Jonford.
Moreover, this individual probably knew Nash as well.
Dominic opened his eyes and turned to the Gingerhead Juggernaut. âGingerhead⦠if you have something to say, say it. No need to beat around the bush!â
The Gingerhead Juggernaut used to be the associationâs military counselor who provided him with
advice.
He believed in the Gingerhead Juggernautâs analytical skills.
The Gingerhead Juggernaut smiled. âBased on the autopsy report Hidden-Ghost Juggernaut just sent,
most of the grandmasters died from slit throats, while the remaining ones bled to death. The fact that this person managed to kill over thirty grandmasters without causing a commotion means theyâd need to have the skills of a Stage Eight great-grandmaster, and that theyâre a top-notch killerâ¦â
The Grim-Faced Juggernaut was dumbfounded. âYou mean⦠it was the Smiling Grim Reaper?â
He shook his head. âThatâs impossible. We saw the Smiling Grim Reaper at the Zabel house yesterday. He never left the premises!â
The Gingerhead Juggernaut asked, âHow far away were you from the Zabelâs residence?â
The Grim-Faced Juggernaut replied, âWe were about 400 feet away!â
The Gingerhead Juggernaut laughed. âA top-notch killer is always watching and on the alert! If you were within 900 feet of him, you would have blown any cover you thought you had!â
The Grim-Faced Juggernautâs eyes widened. âSo⦠we werenât even looking at the real Smiling Grim Reaper?â
The Gingerhead Juggernaut sighed. âI canât say for sure. It will need further investigation!â
After all, it was all speculation. He could not say for certain if the Smiling Grim Reaper had merely been pretending he did not see the Hidden-Ghost Juggernaut and his companions.
The Grim-Faced Juggernaut said woodenly, âIf the Smiling Grim Reaper at the Zabel household was an imposter, it would mean Nutcracker and the others were killed by the real one!â
The Gingerhead Juggernaut stroked his chin and mumbled, âCould it be possible⦠that the Smiling Grim Reaper and Nash are the same person?â
No one heard him saying that.
It was just speculation.
Dominic stood and said, âYou should make a trip to Jonford. You have three days to figure out who killed Nutcracker and the others. I want to see the killerâs head on my desk in three days!â
All the juggernauts present rose and saluted him.
At the same timeâ¦
The distinguished families and high-ranking officials of Sagen were stunned as well.
At the Snyder Estateâ¦
Mr. Snyder Sr. was feeding the fish in the garden.
He was accompanied by Felicity and her father, Richard Snyder.
Mr. Snyder Sr. chuckled. âThis is amazing⦠The Green Bamboo Association has stirred up so much trouble, and karma has finally found its way back to them!â
Felicity clasped her hands behind her back, a gleeful expression on her face as she said, âSee, what did I tell you? The Green Bamboo Association has started going downhill since I assumed my current
position. Itâs all thanks to me!â
The deaths of the Green Bamboo Associationâs three most powerful juggernauts had nothing to do with her, but since they had happened during her time in office, she would claim credit for that as
well.
Richard roared with laughter. âYes, yes, itâs all thanks to our dearest Felice!â
Mr. Snyder Sr. smiled as he sprinkled a handful of fish food and said, âFelice, take a trip to Jonford
and find out which hero did this. Heâs done the Snyder family a huge favorâ¦â
A crafty glint appeared in Felicityâs eyes as she said quietly, âGrandpa⦠do you know why Iâm saying
itâs all thanks to me?â
Mr. Snyder Sr. and Richard turned and stared at Felicity when they heard the serious tone she was speaking in.
Felicity checked her surroundings before saying carefully, âYou guys still remember Nash Calcraft, the guest I brought back a while ago? Heâs a master of the Profound Reality Realm, and we had an agreement. He promised he would kill the Ten Juggernauts if he ever got the chance to do so⦠The killings of these three juggernauts is merely the beginning of my mission to destroy the Green
Bamboo Association!â
Her features arranged themselves in a solemn expression as she spoke with conviction.
Richard and Mr. Snyder Sr. nearly ended up believing her.
Mr. Snyder Sr. laughed heartily. âIf thatâs the case, Iâll be able to spend the rest of my days in luxurious peace!â
Felicity realized her grandfather had seen through her joke and said dully, âNever mind, itâs not like you would believe me. Anyway, I have some business to take care of at Joriford tomorrow, so I guess Iâll do you a favor and look into itâ¦â
Her voice trailed off abruptly.
She had just claimed it was done by Nash. Now, she was saying she would look into the matter. Was she not poking holes in her lie?
Felicity blushed and ran off, leaving Richard and Mr. Snyder Sr. behind as they roared with laughter.
