Chapter 674


    A voice spoke, “The ck Dragon has sent his subordinates to the twenty–eight nations to investigate


    the background of the deceased of the hijacking incident. As his subordinates arepetent people,


    they should get to the bottom of it soon.” Pablo asked, “What should we do now?”


    “We‘ll stay put. Let him investigate. The more he finds out, the better. I know him well. He‘s an


    advocate for peace. Once he finds out, he‘ll make his way here and try to deal with the current crisis


    without any unnecessary bloodshed. That will be when he meets his doom.”


    “Understood.”


    Pablo nodded.


    They hung up the call.


    Looking at the generals, Pablo instructed, “You heard him. We‘ll stay put. Order your men to behave.


    Do not do anything they aren‘t instructed to.” “Understood.”


    The generals nodded. At the same time, James, Henry, and Levi left Lavender Town in secret and


    headed toward the outskirts of the Southern ins City where the hijacking incident urred. A jeep


    that was driving along the dested road stopped. The three of them stepped out of the car. Henry had


    a map in hand. Looking at the routes marked on the map, he pointed in front of him and said, “This is


    where the hijacking incident urred.”

    James walked over to that ce.


    Many days had passed. Hence, no traces of the incident remained.


    He scanned his surroundings but found no clues. Immediately, he asked, “Where was the tour bus


    found?”


    Levi stepped forward and pointed to the road before them and said, “It‘s further north from here. We‘ll


    reach the ce after going around Southern ins City and continuing ind. It‘s about three hundred


    kilometers away from here.” “Let‘s have a look.”


    James got onto the jeep once more. Levi then headed in the direction of the incident. Three hourster,


    they arrived at a barren wastnd. The three of them got off.


    Levi pointed at an empty plot ofnd and said, “Here‘s the spot. Everyone on the bus was already dead


    by the time the authorities found it. The tour bus was in perfect condition, while the deceased all died a


    quick and painless death with a single blow of a de. Their corpses are


    Located at a funeral parlor in the Southern ins City. Since the city is currently upied by enemy


    forces, we‘re unable to observe the situation.” James then ordered, “Give me the autopsy report.”


    Levi got back into the car and got him the autopsy report.


    James scrutinized it.


    Unfortunately, from this report, James could not identify who were the ones who hijacked the tour bus


    and murdered the passengers on board. He rubbed his temple and asked, “Henry, Levi, who do you


    think those people on the tour bus are?”


    Henry said, “That‘s obvious, no? They must be sent by the one behind the scenes.” James rolled his


    eyes. “Isn‘t that just bullsh*t?”


    “Ahem,” Henry coughed and began analyzing. “This is the Southern ins, a territory within Sol. The


    ones who did the hijacking are most likely Soleans. Furthermore, they don‘t seem to be just any other


    criminal group. The way they conducted their operation was akin to that of a disciplined fighting force.”


    James looked at him and asked, “How can you tell?”


    Henry continued, “The ck Dragon army has erected many fortifications on this road. However, the


    perpetrators seemed to know their positions inside out. They managed topletely steer clear of the


    ck Dragon army. Not only are they trained, they know the geographicalndscape here well. The


    incident must have been carefully choreographed. Besides, there were no signs of struggle on the bus.


    There are two possibilities.”


    “Mhm.”


    James nodded and said, “Your analysis is spot on. There are two possibilities: One, the passengers on


    board knew they would die. And so, they didn‘t resist at all. Two, the opponent was too strong. They


    had no way of fighting back.” Levi chimed in, “Sir, I don‘t think investigating the tour bus will be useful.


    Our countrymen are extremely concerned with the situation on the battlefield. If we still insist on staying


    put instead of retaking the lost territories, I‘m worried they‘ll be rather displeased.”


    James lightly waved. “There‘s no need to rush things. As long as there are no orders from the higher–


    ups, we‘ll stay put and investigate the matter thoroughly. By the way, have you looked into the


    deceased‘s personal belongings? Have you checked their phones to see if there are any clues?”


    Levi shook his head. “All their phones are currently sealed away in the military region of the Southern


    ins City. As for the investigation... Everything happened in a blur. We only had a day between the


    hijacking incident and the invasion of the twenty–eight nations. We didn‘t have enough time.”
