This made things a bit interesting.
Bai Wei suddenly became intrigued, and no longer wished to go back.
Let's see what was really happening.
Ina had no idea what Bai Wei was planning in his mind, because to her eyes, it was still Gerard's face.
On that extremely familiar face, however, was a very unfamiliar smile—she was certain that Gerard had never smiled like this.
“You're not him.” Ina spoke again, her face tense, “Who exactly are you?”
Seeing Ina so certain, Bai Wei saw no need to keep up the act. He shrugged, “Alright, you've figured it out. I'm indeed not him. Do you want to know where he has gone?”
Ina tightly grasped the Blazing Fire Sword while watching the smile on Bai Wei's face grow wider.
“That guy named Gerard.” Bai Wei began softly, “I've killed him.”
Ina's eyes widened instantly, filled with a murderous intent. She could not hold back any longer and, wielding the Blazing Fire Sword, charged at Bai Wei.
…
“Lord Yong Xin!”
The door to Yong Xin's office was flung open, and a person hurriedly entered.
“There's been an incident at the Source Oil processing factory!”
Yong Xin stood by the window, looking in the direction connecting the Fourth District and Fifth Zone where smoke still billowed heavily.
“I've already seen it.” Yong Xin's face also looked grim.
“The Skeleton Corps has already gone there!” His subordinate wiped his sweat as he spoke, “But we still don't know exactly what happened.”
“What else could it be?” Yong Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, “At this crucial time, who else could bring us such trouble but that guy?”
The subordinate's eyes widened, “You mean… Gerard? But how is that possible? The Source Oil processing factory should be our most core secret! For many years no one has noticed anything odd… we haven't even recruited new people just to maintain its stability, but…”
“But it has indeed encountered a problem.” Yong Xin tried to stay as calm as possible, “Surprise and regret are of no use now. Lately, he has done things more than once that we cannot comprehend, it's clear he must know something we don't.”
This was what unsettled Yong Xin the most, far more than all the things Gerard had done so far combined.
What power had he obtained?
That allowed him to strike precisely at every one of their points and stop all their plans within a very short period after being lost for ten years.
Unfortunately, the person sent to Rhein had not returned yet.
But it should be within the next day or two.
Yong Xin took a deep breath.
They could not just sit and do nothing before receiving solid information.
If everything Gerard had done so far was still within what Yong Xin could tolerate, then this issue at the Source Oil processing plant was beyond his acceptance.
Currently, they were in the final stages of the battle between the Lord and Lyra, where every bit of power from the processing plant was making the Lord stronger.
But now, it was gone.
Yong Xin no longer held any illusions that the Skeleton Corps could salvage anything from that burning factory since Gerard had taken action, aiming for a total eradication.
Seeing that Yong Xin had been silent for a long time, the subordinate got worried, “Lord Yong Xin?”
“I'm listening,” Yong Xin said flatly, “if it's destroyed, it's destroyed.”
“Will it affect the Lord's plans?”
“It will certainly have an impact, but not much,” Yong Xin stated, “The Lord's power has already surpassed the Old God. His victory is destined.”
This wasn't a lie.
But there was another half of the sentence Yong Xin didn't say.
If everything had progressed normally, the New God would have easily eradicated the Old God.
But now, encountering obstacles, if the new God's power doesn't receive a significant enhancement, the battle with the Old God won't be as easy.
After all, the Old God wasn't just waiting to die.
Not to mention, they had moved up their plans by a month.
The destabilizing factors were just too many.
…They couldn't continue like this.
Yong Xin looked up at his subordinate and said, “We need to intensify the sanctions against Gerard. Why has the Skeleton Corps not found him yet?”
Faced with Yong Xin's inquiry, the subordinate hesitated to answer, “Because the Wanted Notice for him is only First Level, the Skeleton Corps can do so little. No matter what, he was once a Night Star Knight. If he truly wants to hide, simply posting wanted notices and setting up checkpoints makes it really difficult to find him—he'd require at least a Second Level notice.”
Yong Xin had guessed his subordinate would say this and nodded, “Bring me the application.”
“Yes!”
The subordinate immediately left the office and soon returned, placing the application in front of Yong Xin.
Yong Xin then picked up the pen.
Logically, given Gerard's deeds, escalating directly to a Second Level Wanted Notice or even an “Eradication Order” wouldn't be excessive.
But the problem was… there was no evidence.
No one had actually seen him kill Bishop Hallman, nor had anyone seen him ignite the factory.
But logically, lacking evidence shouldn't matter to Yong Xin now, who already controlled Hallman's power; once he signed this application, he could immediately elevate Gerard's Wanted Notice to Second Level or even an Eradication Order, leaving Gerard with nowhere to hide.
