Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 1228

"Is everyone alright?" the Leader of Team Wooly Sheep asked.

She got positive answers from everyone before looking at Kyle with furrowed brows. The amount of Energy Blue had used during their escape was suspiciously high. It wasn't as high as the amount of Energy an Adept Immortal had, but it was more than a Beginner Immortal should have. Additionally, she was still concerned about Red's sudden disappearance.

"Mind explaining your actions to the team?" she asked Blue.

"I've dealt with the attacker," Kyle transmitted.

"So, the cave-in was caused by an attacker?" Spring of Joy asked with concern.

"Yes," Kyle answered. "It was just one attacker. That's also how I noticed the cave-in. I sensed a change in my Karmic Luck. I dug towards the direction of the attack, hoping that I would find the attacker. I found them, and I identified them as the attacker by looking at the Karmic Line. I've dealt with them."

"You took an unnecessary risk," the Leader of Team Wooly Sheep answered. "This could have been a trap to lure us out."

"Only one Karmic Line changed," Kyle replied. "If there were an entire team, I wouldn't have gone there by myself."

"How do you know?" one of the members of Team Wooly Sheep asked. "It's already hard to believe that you've sensed such a subtle change in Karmic Luck. Are you claiming that you would have also sensed the presence of marginally involved members?"

"I'm a Karmic Senser," Kyle answered. "I know a lot about Karmic Luck."

"Who was the attacker?" Abyssal Depths asked.

"Unknown," Kyle answered. "She had no Communicator or valuables. The only things in her Soul Space were a couple of basic materials for Formation Arrays that aren't even worth five Grade Nine Energy Stones. She was a blank slate."

"Was it Extended Family?" Abyssal Depths transmitted only to Kyle.

"Maybe, but I can't be sure. Could have been a rogue assassin," Kyle replied.

"How did you deal with the attacker?" the Leader asked. "They must have been an Adept or Minor Immortal."

"With enough preparation, I can jump a level," Kyle answered.

"How could you have prepared while chasing an enemy?" the Leader asked.

"I have my ways," Kyle answered as his brows furrowed a bit. "Your questions are getting a bit too personal. I'm also not asking you about the details of your abilities."

The Leader took a deep breath. "I apologize. The important thing is that we are still alive. Kyle, if you hadn't sensed the attacker, half of us would have lost an Avatar. We are alive thanks to you, and I shouldn't repay your help by questioning you."

"It's fine," Kyle answered. At that moment, Red also broke through the walls and returned to the team.

Sadly, Kyle hadn't lied about the attacker's belongings. She had truly been poor. Hidden agents were supposed to go on their missions with nothing of value. A great number of valuables could be traced back to an identity by investigating the market. Normal teams didn't have the privileges or power to investigate the market in such a way, but there were parties who had the resources and influence to do just that. If the hidden agent were linked to Extended Family, they wouldn't be a hidden agent anymore.

"What's the plan?" Spring of Joy asked. "Do we continue excavating?"

Everyone looked at Kyle.
