Okay!
Julian thought Ares was calling someone to pull strings.
Ares went to a quiet place and contacted Luna, one of Eurasia’s Four Divinities.
Of course, he contacted her using his real identity - Connor Black.
Luna was the only surviving member of the Four Divinities.
Luna still felt extremely confused. She thought the plan to assassinate Zeke was foolproof, but they made a careless mistake, causing Solis to lose his life.
While Luna was still trying to understand how Solis was killed, she received a call from Connor.
She became even more agitated after seeing his name on the phone.
Connor was the mastermind of this assassination. If it were not for him, Solis would not have died.
After answering his call, she immediately gave it to him, “Connor, you still have the nerve to call me? You caused the Satan Forces to disband and led all other three members of the Four Divinities to death. My gut tells me you’re a spy whom Eurasia deployed to kill us. Murderer! “
Connor sighed, “I’m sorry. It was an oversight on my part. I didn’t expect Zeke to have assigned a sniper to be on standby. It was his sniper who killed Solis.”
Luna said, “So many of us died because of you. You should atone for your mistake through death. I’ll finish you off myself.”
Connor responded, “Calm down, Ms. Luna. I’m here to redeem myself.”
Luna asked, “Oh? And how do you propose on doing that?”
“Currently, Zeke is around Devonville, and he’s alone. This is the best opportunity for you to get rid of him.”
“What is he doing there?” Luna was confused.
Connor answered, “I guess he went there for the Spirit Stone, but they somehow rejected him. Now, he has to make his way back. Based on my investigations, he didn’t bring any guards with him.”
Luna got excited, “Are you sure?”
“Of course.” Connor convinced her.
“Then why don’t you kill him yourself?” Luna asked.
Connor put on a bitter smile, “I’ll tell you the truth. That day when I leaped off the cliff, an avalanche bore down on me and buried me in a cave. I only managed to escape from the cave after sacrificing my martial arts foundation. My condition now is even worse than the Great Marshal, so how do you expect me to fight against him?”
Now it all made sense to Luna, “No wonder. I knew you wouldn’t have survived the avalanche so easily. It was all because you sacrificed your foundations. Alright then, I’ll get there right away.”
Luna believed Connor’s words.
Connor heaved a sigh of relief, he was worried that Luna would not buy his story, but it seems he had worried too much.
Every word he uttered earlier was all made up. Zeke did not make a trip to Devonville, and he did not lose his foundations.
He only said so to lure Luna to the site so he could kill her. Killing Luna was one way to earn merit, and this contribution could win him at least a few Spirit Stones.
Sacrificing his own team members for personal gain is what Connor did best.
He deleted the call history, kept his phone away, and returned to Julian.
Little did Connor know was that from a distance, two men were secretly observing his action. These two men were none other than Zeke and Mr. Collins.
Zeke was able to control their breathing to prevent Ares from detecting their presence. After all, as a King Class warrior, Ares was a sensitive observer of his surroundings.
Based on this alone, it was not difficult to tell that Zeke was much more powerful than Ares.
Once Ares had left, Zeke and Mr. Collins stepped out from the back. Mr. Collins asked, “Who do you think was on the other end of the phone?”
