Chapter 2747 Interrogation
Alp exclaimed, “Wait, Scar Face! Wait. What do you want to know from me?”
Turning around, Scar Face revealed, “Let's cut to the chase. I know you're Theos' spy, Alp.”
Alp took in a deep breath. I can't believe they even know I'm Theos' spy! Who are these people?
Still, he pretended to be ignorant. “What spy? I don't understand what you're saying.”
“Truth be told, the four of us are also Theos' spies,” disclosed Scar Face.
What? Alp's eyes widened as he stared at them in disbelief. They're Theos' spies, too? I thought I was the only one! I guess I don't need to worry about my life anymore. Unless they're willing to incur Theos' wrath, I doubt they'll kill me.
He reprimanded, “Hmph, since you know I'm also Theos' spy, why did you attack me? Aren't you afraid Theos will punish you?”
Scar Face replied, “We attacked you to serve Theos better.”
Alp smirked. “Do you think I'm stupid? What kind of logic is that?”
“Listen to me, Alp. I suspect that the Heavenly Spirit Stones we collected in the past weren't delivered to Theos. Instead, someone else took them away.”
“What makes you say that?”
“Theos said he'll reward us when we find Heavenly Spirit Stones for him. Yet, after collecting so many Heavenly Spirit Stones, we still haven't received anything from him. That's why I speculate those stones were stolen by someone.”
“Even if what you said is true, I don't see how that relates to your assault on me.”
“We had to do this because you may not like what we have to say.”
“Go ahead. Tell me what's on your mind.”
“We want you to hand the Heavenly Spirit Stones you collect in the future to Commander Williams—”
“Impossible!” Alp exploded in anger. “All Heavenly Spirit Stones on the island belong to Theos! It's treason to hand them to someone else! Aren't you afraid of being burned alive by Theos' Mark?”
“Watch your mouth, Alp. We're not betraying Theos. Truth be told, Commander Williams informed us that he's also one of Theos' spies. In fact, he's the highest-ranking spy working under Theos. Furthermore, he's capable of directly interacting with Theos. He can hand those stones to Theos. It's much more secure than delivering them to Theos through dreams. Don't you think this is a better way for us to serve Theos?”
“As if I'll believe your lies! If what you said is true, Theos would've mentioned it in my dreams. Sadly, he didn't. He only told me to deliver the Heavenly Spirit Stones to him through dreams.”
Scar Face sighed. “Don't you think we would've been dead by now if we did betray Theos? Why won't you believe me? “
“Save your breath. I won't trust your words.”
“Fine. I've said everything I planned to. We can't do anything if you don't believe me. Anyway, do you know what's inside these sacks?”
