Chapter 893 Suspicions
The elder responded, “It’s highly likely that what he said is true. At that time, I was tasked with holding off Silas. By the time I successfully drove him away and arrived. Mr. Warde and his team had already dealt with Tigger.”
“So, you didn’t actually witness Rodney killing Tigger, did you?” Caden asked.
The elder hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and replied, “No.”
After a moment of silence, Caden turned to Devon and suggested, “Mr. Jaillor, I think it would be best to have a word with the elders from the Origin Sword Sect”
Devon was taken aback. “What’s wrong? Could this be a fake incident? Are you suspecting that Tigger is still alive? Do you think that Rodney was bribed by Tigger?”
Caden’s eyes flickered as he said, “Bribery is out of the question. I merely suspect that Tigger was actually captured alive by Rodney, with the intention of forcing him to reveal the secret technique.”
Upon hearing that, Devon also started having his doubts. He nodded and said, “I suppose that’s possible too.”
Having the ability to utilize the secret technique multiple times in a short period meant that one could consecutively enhance their own strength, elevating it by a minor cultivation stage. Describing the secret technique as a supreme treasure would not be an exaggeration.
They started putting themselves in the other party’s shoes. Would we have so easily killed the other man if we were to find ourselves in the same situation? Wouldn’t we want to interrogate him harshly in order to force him to reveal the secret technique?
Caden’s suspicions were not without reason.
His suspicion also stemmed from caring too much about his position as the leader of the Spirit Sword Sect.
Actually, Rodney was the most senior member in the Spirit Sword Sect. Just like Caden, he was at the middle–phase of the Golden Elixir Stage. Considering his experience and seniority, it was only fitting that Rodney should assume the position of the sect leader.
Regrettably, Rodney’s comprehension of the sword energy was slightly inferior to that of Caden. The former was merely at the master level.
1/3
In the end, that slight advantage enabled Caden to ascend to the position of sect leader of the Spirit Sword Sect
Therefore, Caden had a valid reason to suspect that Rodney intended to pressure Emrys into revealing his secret technique, with the intention of learning and practicing it himself. In the event of a confrontation, Caden would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage.
In order to safeguard his own position, it was only natural for Caden to be skeptical.
Hence, Devon found his assumption logical and summoned several elders of the Origin Sword Sect, who had participated in the pursuit and assassination mission, one by one.
The answer he received from everyone was that they each personally witnessed Rodney unleash the Ghost Sword Technique Twelfth Move on Tigger, destroying him into pieces, leaving behind only half of his mask.
Given that everyone was singing the same tune, even if Caden harbored immense doubts, he had no choice but to dismiss his suspicions.
Surely, they couldn’t all have been lying to cover for Rodney, could they?No, no way. something this outrageous really have happened?
Could
“Haha, it seems your suspicions were unwarranted, Mr. Salazar. Perhaps Tigger was struggling violently at that time, leaving Mr. Warde with no choice but to strike him dead. You heard it just now. Tigger’s abilities were mysteriously powerful. He managed to kill two individuals who were at the early–phase of the Golden Elixir Stage. Capturing him alive won’t be as easy as we thought.”
“Let’s hope so!”
