Deities: Starting From Goblins C.551 - 350 Sky_1

Chapter 551: Chapter 350 Sky_1

Cain Scarlet ignored everyone, using his Divine Skill to construct a Barrier Array, trapping more than a thousand members of the Nango Family within it.

The members of the Nango Family were in a panic. Cain Scarlet had suddenly attacked them, and their lord was nowhere to be found. Had the city been taken over? Yet everything seemed calm, with no signs of a fierce battle, and more perturbingly, nobody knew anything.

The Nango Family had no clue why this was happening, but they all thought of the worst outcome — that their Lord would be unable to stop Cain Scarlet. Currently, he was only targeting the Nango Family, but perhaps by tomorrow, all the clans within the territory might face destruction.

Just then, Sandy Wexler walked out of the mansion: “There’s no need for such a display. Since the Nango Family is here, they won’t run. Setting up this Barrier Array directly will just cause unrest among the entire city’s populace, which isn’t conducive for investigating.”

“Just to cover all bases, you just stay out of it,” Cain Scarlet responded coldly. He feared leaving any stone unturned. Since his son was dead, he didn’t care about the consequences. He would shoulder the karma himself.

As a Quasi-Saint, he seemed unstoppable by ordinary individuals. As long as Sandy Wexler remained a bystander and didn’t get involved, he wouldn’t have a problem. Of course, Sandy Wexler wouldn’t be foolish enough to intervene. If he did, it would prove he was one of the culprits.

At this point, everyone from the Nango Family was shocked. What was happening? Why were their Lord and the enemy Lord standing together, conversing cheerfully? Even if their previous conflicts had been resolved, why were they still targeting the Nango Family members?

An Elder from the Nango Family couldn’t stand by any longer and exclaimed, “Lord, what exactly is happening? You owe everyone an explanation. Why are you allowing Cain Scarlet to trap us within this barrier? Have you given in to the enemy?”

“Everyone, stay calm. Cain Scarlet is only investigating a matter,” Sandy Wexler replied nonchalantly. Since Ernest Nango had confessed everything, it was evident the Nango Family was involved in the crime. He certainly couldn’t protect the Nango Family now.

After all, it concerned the safety of two territories. If Cain Scarlet’s resentment was resolved, the battle between the lords would naturally dissipate, which would benefit everyone. Of course, for the mastermind behind the crime, it would be a catastrophe.

The members of the Nango Family were even more puzzled: “Lord, we have always been loyal to you, serving your side all these years. Why would you let Cain Scarlet target us? Are you going to sacrifice the Nango Family?”

Sandy Wexler just smirked coldly. Ernest Nango had already confessed that he was instigated by members of the Nango Family to initiate the battle between the two lords, aiming to replace him. Yet they still dared to claim their loyalty?

However, as this was Cain Scarlet’s turf, even though Sandy Wexler also harbored resentment, he intended to let Cain Scarlet lead the investigation. After all, ridding the Nango Family entirely through Cain Scarlet saved him from acting personally.

Cain Scarlet coughed, exerting the aura of a Quasi-Saint, “Everyone, shut up. Anyone who dares to quarrel will die on the spot. I mean what I say. Feel free to challenge me.”

The moment his words left his lips, everybody instantly fell silent, not daring to breathe loudly. After all, Cain Scarlet was their enemy’s lord, with no single shred of mercy for them. His threat of deadly punishment was no idle bluff.

“Let me cut to the chase. You need to explain the death of my son, Abel Scarlet. I’ve already uncovered the truth in my investigations. I’m just here to verify it, so don’t try to cover anything up, or you won’t be able to bear the consequences.”

Cain Scarlet surveyed the crowd and asked, “Who in the Nango Family was involved, and who was the mastermind behind the plot to murder my son and ignite a battle between the two lords?”

The members of the Nango Family were taken aback. Everyone knew of Abel Scarlet’s death, but how was their family involved? After Sandy Wexler’s announcement of Abel’s disappearance, they had also sent hundreds of people to search.

Now, listening to Cain Scarlet’s words, it seemed like his son had been harmed by members of their clan. Everyone fell into deep thought, wondering if someone in their family had secretly carried out the act. How was it possible that they hadn’t received any hint or news about it?

The Grand Elders exchanged glances, suspecting each other momentarily, but dismissed the suspicion. Any major decision would require elders’ discussions and nobody would dare to act on their own, even if they had all the courage in the world.

The only one who knew the whole truth was the Nango Family head; but he also chose to remain silent. From the moment he let Ernest Nango into the Master’s Mansion, there was no turning back. Even if he clarified now that Ernest Nango was framing them, no one would believe him.

The members of the Nango Family were engaged in heated discussions. All eyes turned to their Family Head. The Nango Family Head took a step forward, “The Nango Family was unaware. As the Family Head, I can assure you. Why we are suspected, perhaps there is a traitor among us.”

“Refusing to admit your mistake.” Cain Scarlet scoffed coldly, clapping his hands as Ernest Nango stepped forward, “Your Young Master from Nango Family confessed all of this. Are you implying he’s also the traitor? Even now, you still play innocent. Do you assume I am devoid of temper?”
