Chapter 287: Chapter 158 Torch: Yes, it was us!

"Hmm?" Feder looked slightly perplexed.

Ren Cangsong quickly added, "Dimensional Gods, first appearance, remote-controlled a Torch Organization member to kill Sain."

"After the interrogation of the Torch Organization member, we learned of his existence. There are two possibilities, one being a powerful Spiritual Ability User."

Feder’s heart stirred slightly, and he shook his head, "The Wing Shadow Fleet is equipped with mind-blocking devices, and we didn’t detect any fluctuations of spiritual power."

Ren Cangsong paused briefly before saying, "Then it must be the second possibility, that the other party is indeed some kind of powerful Dimensional Creature, who through sacrifice, can remotely communicate with their selected individuals or give various instructions to members of the Torch Organization."

Li Ming looked surprised, as the speculation had gone so far, yet it also seemed quite reasonable.

Ren Cangsong speculated, "I suspect that there must be members of the Torch Organization on the warship, who, in collaboration with Coyle through the Dimensional Gods, facilitated this incident,"

"If that’s the case, then there’s an explanation. That’s why Coyle could see through all of Isus’s arrangements."

Feder appeared thoughtful, and Li Ming was slightly amazed inwardly; these people had almost guessed the truth.

Turning the Dimensional Gods into him and removing that so-called collaborator from the Torch Organization, that’s the real truth.

"Then let’s arrest everyone and conduct memory screening!" Morico’s method was still simple and rough.

Feder frowned, "Surely all the soldiers on the warship need to be controlled, but memory screening needs a longer-term plan."

"Is there still need for consideration? The one who died is Prince Isus!" Morico said forcefully.

Feder snorted coldly, "Do you know who Isus’s aide-de-camp is? The grandson of Duke Caterhill. Do you know how many guys with connections are in his personal guard?"

"Moreover, the command channel is shared. Everyone from the remaining Escort Ships is suspect, including the captains, not just limited to the Escort Ship where Isus was."

"With so many people involved, who dares to propose this? Who will execute this proposal?"

Morico’s face changed slightly, "But the one who died is Is..."

"I know it’s Isus who died!" Feder interrupted roughly, "That’s why I tolerate your continuous nonsensical talk here."

Feder was also very irritated. He hoped for Isus to perish but not in this manner.

As the highest commander since Isus’s kidnapping, no matter the outcome, he had to bear a considerable part of the responsibility for Isus’s death.

The only consolation was that because Isus had sided with Princess Asmara, many high-ranking members of the royal family had complaints against him.

The pursuit of Coyle was entirely Isus’s decision; such an end, in part, was his own doing.

"Regardless, there must be an answer to this matter. Until the truth comes out, I will keep an eye on you." Morico admitted defeat to Feder, resignedly accepting his fate.

"You’ll keep an eye on us?" Feder said with a smile that was not a smile, "What right do you have to watch over us?"

"Do you think you’re beyond suspicion?"

"We were ordered to pursue Coyle, away from the warship, so naturally, we’re not suspects." Morico explained, frowning.

Duke Bai Ye eagerly agreed, "Indeed, when Coyle attacked, we weren’t even on the warship."

He certainly did not want to get caught in this maelstrom, otherwise, the trouble would be significant.

"Heh heh..." Feder sneered, "Exactly because of this, Morico, as Isus’s personal guard, what is your duty? Who allowed you to pursue and kill Coyle?"

"It was Isus..."

"Even if it was a command from Isus, you could have chosen not to listen. If you hadn’t left, perhaps Isus might not have been killed." Feder’s gaze shifted and landed on Duke Bai Ye,

"As for you, Duke Bai Ye, you didn’t even intervene when the Torch members attacked."

"Why so eager this time? You two, completely unharmed, left the warship, yet left three severely injured people here. It’s hard not to say it was to create opportunity for them."

Duke Bai Ye’s complexion changed, "Prince Feder, do not slander me wantonly, I went only because of your pressure."

Feder ignored him, merely saying, "This is an emergency situation. After I make my report, the Yitelan Civilization will naturally send someone to investigate and verify."

"Please, everyone, do not casually frame or entrap others, be careful not to suffer the consequences instead."

"I am willing to undergo memory examination!" Morico clung to the issue persistently, "I hope others will do the same."

The faces of Chen Jinglong and others, especially Duke Bai Ye, looked rather troubled.

Who doesn’t have some little secrets, odd habits? Some things, even in death, cannot be spoken out loud.

Feder shook his head, Morico understood nothing. Isus’s demise would inevitably cause a thunderous fury within the Yitelan Civilization.

But this matter couldn’t be resolved with thunderous fury, a command that everyone should obediently comply with.

With six B-level life forms present and a large number of fleet soldiers, surely not all could be detained for forced examination.

Isus was killed by a member of the Torch Organization.

The Yitelan Civilization was helpless against the Torch while cruelly turning on its allies. If this were to leak out, would the Yitelan Royal Family still be able to show its face?

More critically, among them, there were sure to be innocents. After being forcibly subjected to memory screening, would they grow to resent the Yitelan Civilization?

It’s clear this would only serve to aid the Torch, making this an extremely troublesome matter.

There’s even a risk that the royal family would have to be wary of Princess Asmara exploiting Isus’s death as a pretext,

Feder felt a headache coming on.

"Although this is a matter within the Yitelan Civilization, Blue Star is willing to assist in the investigation, offering all conveniences," Chen Jinglong suddenly spoke up.
