1899 Premature Death of the Iron Hammer Federation!
The gold-robed man was afraid that he would be unable to meet Lin Yuan’s standard even if he revealed all he knew because he did not know enough.
Soon, Su Yiren appeared at the doorway of the president’s office. Since the door was not closed, Su Yiren walked through it directly.
Since Su Yiren was a Dark Envoy and had spent time as a vagrant, she cared more about her dignity than ever.
Normally, Su Yiren put effort into dolling herself up. There were many spirit qi clothes in her spatial equipments. All of them had been custom-made according to the standards of a Dark Envoy.
!!After all, there were Cla.s.s 5 Creation Masters in the Seven States of Darkness, putting it a level above the Startling Lines Continent.
The hem of Su Yiren’s pink skirt was embedded with many small purple crystals. There was also a charming layer of mesh under the skirt that sparkled with faint starlight. It was clear that this skirt had been woven out of silk from the Star Net Purple Silkworm.
The gold-robed man did not even know what material the necklace around her neck was made of. However, he had a good look at the large spiritual-type law crystal at the center of the necklace. There were three golden slashes on the stone and it was clear that it was a completed Myth III law crystal.
Such a precious item could not even be found in the Jin family’s treasure vault.
Yet the woman who walked through the door was using it as a decorative item. How lavis.h.!.+
When the gold-robed man started to wonder if this woman was the true owner of the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce, she curtsied to Lin Yuan and said, “Young Master, sorry to make you wait. I’m a little late!”
Su Yiren’s words blew the gold-robed man’s mind. This woman dressed so opulently and seemed to have features that were hand-carved by the G.o.ds actually turned out to be the young man’s attendant.
From the way she was dressed, she clearly did not value rare spiritual ingredients.
If the completed Myth III spiritual-type law crystal was given to a spiritual-type pinnacle Myth III fey, it might evolve directly to Creation Breed.
Su Yiren could tell that the gold-robed man had picked up on how beneficial it was to be Lin Yuan’s subordinate.
Previously, the main emotion that the gold-robed man felt was fear. But now, he felt eagerness and greed.
Lin Yuan said to Su Yiren, “Yiren, you go and question. Interrogate him until he has nothing more to offer. Then, verify if his answers are true.”
While Su Yiren was rus.h.i.+ng here, Lin Yuan told her about the situation through the Thoughts Letter Paper.
A task that came from Lin Yuan was not a small matter to Su Yiren. She immediately started to interrogate the gold-robed man.
Lin Yuan and Liu Jie sat and listened to the question-and-answer session between the gold-robed man and Su Yiren.
Su Yiren started out with simple questions that were easy for the gold-robed man to reply.
But suddenly, she changed her tone and said, “Who is supporting the Jin family?”
Su Yiren’s question took the gold-robed man off guard and the answer stopped short at the tip of his tongue.
The gold-robed man instinctively glanced at Lin Yuan and Su Yiren’s eyes and noticed that they were looking at him with amus.e.m.e.nt.
The gold-robed man had been prepared so he gnashed his teeth and sold out who was supporting the Jin family.
“There is indeed an organization supporting the Jin family. Rather, all the secret aristocratic families have the same pillar of support. This pillar of support is called the Truth a.s.sociation. I don’t know much about the Truth a.s.sociation. Even my brother, the leader of the Jin family, doesn’t have the authority to join in. Only the leaders of the first four secret aristocratic families are allowed to join the Truth a.s.sociation’s meetings. There are many secret elite families who were killed because they voiced disagreement with the Truth a.s.sociation’s plans.”
The gold-robed man’s answer caused Lin Yuan and Su Yiren’s expressions to turn stern.
Lin Yuan had not learned about the Truth a.s.sociation when he was gathering information on the Great Lush Federation.
It was true that the Great Lush Federation started out with four secret aristocratic families. They were known as the veteran aristocratic families.
Later, pinnacle Cla.s.s 4 Creation Masters came out from these four families and as time pa.s.sed, they acc.u.mulated more resources than the other elite families. Later, they formed what was currently known as the four secret rising aristocratic families.
The Jin family was one of the four secret rising aristocratic families.
Neither Lin Yuan nor Su Yiren questioned the legitimacy of what the gold-robed man said because the truth would be proven soon.
Su Yiren went on to ask, “What did the Truth a.s.sociation tell you to do?”
The gold-robed man had already gone past the point of no return and did not think before he answered Su Yiren’s question and spilled the beans, “The Truth a.s.sociation gave two main tasks. First, to search for various types of law crystals. Second, to create chaos in the Startling Lines Continent within four months. Two months have pa.s.sed since they gave their order. We are the ones behind the deaths of all the robber groups. Half of the robber groups were disguised residents of the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation. Normally, after such a colossal event, the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation’s imperial courts should have already retaliated. But for some reason, both of them have been silent. It’s as though they purposely want to keep the matter quiet. The Sacred Wood Mystic Realm will be opening in a little over a week. Yet, nothing seems to be happening in the Iron Hammer Federation. It’s almost winter in the Iron Hammer Federation and they urgently need to stock up on food. After the death of so many robber groups, it goes without saying that the Iron Hammer Federation will have to go hungry this year. Although many of our chambers of commerce have established themselves in the Iron Hammer Federation, they have already bought up all the fur, food, and liquor they could. Thus, resources have never been scarcer in the Iron Hammer Federation. In two weeks, the Iron Hammer Federation will be in deep trouble.”
The gold-robed man’s words allowed Lin Yuan to understand the deviousness of the plan that the Great Lush Federation had.
It also made him curious about what had happened with the Iron Hammer Federation’s internal affairs. Why had their imperial court still not made a move yet when something so serious happened and they were on the cusp of starvation?
