Chapter 676: Chapter 676: The Taste of Conspiracy

Isabella’s victory made the members of the "Statue of Liberty" cheer and jump for joy, filled with excitement.

In their eyes, the Huaxia "Dragon Guard" who they were going to face in the final had been their underdogs in the last two tournaments, and now their new leader Isabella was even more powerful than the old leader. With the "Dragon Guard" leader not having brought the team, and given this rise and fall, what reason did they have not to win the championship?

Not only did the members of the "Statue of Liberty" think this way, but members of other major meta-human organizations also felt the same, believing that there was no suspense in this tournament’s final.

The final was scheduled to take place at eight o’clock tonight, and taking advantage of the several hours in between, members of the various meta-human organizations left the "Light of Freedom" venue to eat and drink at nearby hotels and restaurants.

No one would have anticipated that, during the period when these meta-human organization members were eating and drinking, a series of overt and covert attacks against them took place.

Among the top ten meta-human organizations that made it to the finals, apart from the "Dragon Guard," members of other teams died from mysterious deadly poisons, were annihilated in strong explosions with no remains left, or fell victim to covert attacks by mysterious masters...

And at every murder scene, there were some clues left behind. Following these clues led to one conclusion—the murders all pointed to the Huaxia "Dragon Guard."

Despite the many doubts in these cases, the nine meta-human organizations that had suffered casualties and had nowhere to vent their anger soon returned to the "Light of Freedom" venue after the attacks, seeking Fang Bai and the other "Dragon Guard" members to demand an explanation.

When Fang Bai and the others were surrounded in the "Light of Freedom" venue, they were completely baffled.

They had gone to Chinatown for a meal before returning first to the venue to conserve their energy, preparing for the battle for the championship, and were unaware of the attacks.

Upon hearing the series of attack incidents recounted by the crowd around them, Fang Bai and his companions looked at each other, all thinking of the word "conspiracy."

This incident, from start to finish, reeked strongly of conspiracy, obviously a setup. Fang Bai did not believe that the leaders of the various meta-human organizations were not astute enough to see through it.

But who could be the mastermind behind the scenes, setting them up? What was the purpose of such actions?

The members of the meta-human organizations that were attacked and killed were all very powerful; to target them all at once, one or two individuals simply could not manage it—it must have been the doing of a large and powerful group.

Coincidentally, out of the ten major meta-human organizations, only the "Dragon Guard" had not suffered any attacks, which inevitably made them suspects.

"Mr. Fang, regarding this incident, I need you ’Dragon Guard’ to provide a reasonable explanation! Otherwise, including the ’Statue of Liberty’ and the friends from all major meta-human organizations, none will let this go!"

As the organizer of this tournament, with such a serious incident having occurred, Isabella had no choice but to step forward and ask Fang Bai on everyone’s behalf.

Isabella’s expression was very serious, and her tone was full of warnings and threats.

Long Da, Long Er, and the others were very angry. They even believed that this incident was a conspiracy concocted by the "Statue of Liberty" and other meta-human organizations against the "Dragon Guard," aiming to prevent them from winning the championship.

"We, the Huaxia ’Dragon Guard,’ have always conducted ourselves in a fair and open manner; it wasn’t us, we do not need to explain!"

Dragon Maiden spoke sharply, with Long Da, Long Er, and the others beside her clenching their fists, ready to fight at a word’s disagreement.

Isabella did not pay attention to Dragon Maiden, but looked indifferently at Fang Bai and asked coldly, "Mr. Fang, do you share the same view?"

Fang Bai did not speak, his gaze sweeping over the members of the various meta-human organizations gathered around, aware that some of them had been blinded by rage. If his answer did not satisfy them, there was a real possibility that they would swarm forward and violence would ensue.

There were well over a hundred people encircling them, including nine leaders. If a battle were to break out, Fang Bai could escape without issue, but Dragon Maiden, Long Da, and the others would have no chance of escaping; they might all fall right here and now.

Therefore, Fang Bai’s response was a matter of life and death for the "Dragon Guard" members present.

"Heh heh..."

After a moment of silence, Fang Bai suddenly cracked a smile, his gaze fixed on Isabella opposite him, and said lightly, "Miss Isabella, is our ’Dragon Guard’ leader Long Jingtian a madman?"

Isabella was taken aback and then shook her head, "How could Mr. Long be a madman? I had the fortune to meet Mr. Long five years ago, and not only is he strong, but he is also a very kind and amiable elder..."

Fang Bai said, "All of us in the ’Dragon Guard’ obey our leader, and if the leader isn’t mad, how could he possibly instruct us to do such foolish things? Miss Isabella, if it were you, would you make enemies of strong individuals all over the world at the same time?"

"I wouldn’t!"

Isabella shook her head emphatically, then frowned and said, "But... there are many signs pointing towards you ’Dragon Guard’..."

"That’s even more ludicrous!"

Fang Bai interrupted Isabella and continued, "If it really were us, would we be so foolish as to leave evidence at the scene for you to investigate? Miss Isabella, please think carefully with your head and not be used as a pawn by others! If we get into a melee and both sides suffer, perhaps others will benefit from our misfortune!"

"Perhaps those traces left at the scene are what you left on purpose after your attack, intending to create an illusion of being wrongfully accused?"

Gaya Luo, the leader of the "Brahma" from India, said with a sardonic tone.

"Yes, apart from the ’Dragon Guard’, I really can’t think of any other force in this world that has the ability to attack us all at the same time!"

Europa’s "Holy Temple" leader Sardin immediately followed up.

"The ’Dragon Guard’ leader Long Jingtian did not lead the team this time, which in itself is suspicious! Perhaps this series of attacks was orchestrated and directed by Long Jingtian from behind the scenes?"

Hattori Jiro, the leader of Japan’s "Kyokushinkai," maliciously speculated.

Upon hearing this, Dragon Maiden, Long Da, and the others were furious, wishing they could smack Hattori Jiro to death on the spot.

Fang Bai’s brow furrowed as he said coldly to Hattori Jiro, "Before the facts are clear, it’s best not to make such malicious attacks, or don’t blame me for being impolite!"

Hattori Jiro met his gaze with a cold, mocking laugh, "What, did I hit a nerve, and now you’re furious? Impolite? Haha, although I, Hattori Jiro, am slightly weaker than Long Jingtian, you think you, a young man, can threaten me..."

Smack—

Before Hattori Jiro could finish, he saw a figure flash in front of him, followed by a sharp, crisp sound next to his ear. At the same time, his entire left cheek instantly went numb, as he had been soundly slapped on the face.
