Volume 10 Chapter 40: Pieces Coming Together

Those words only invoked murmurs throughout the council. That was because an execution was quite something. More so than that, it was to an elder. A pillar to the island, Long Huizhong was one of the older elders. To have him go like that was unheard of.



"For causing disaster throughout the city and injuring so many people, this is only the case to placate the Samui's wraith!" Long Xiaowen's eyes narrowed as he stared at them.

Long Huizhong stared down at the ground. He could hear it; the other elders agreed with Long Xiaowen's words. What happened to the people was not something that could be undermined. What was more, there was also the Samuis. If they were still angry, it would be having a knife at the back of their necks all the time. They would always have to be worried about them. However,



"Wait a moment," That was when a young voice had spoken up. Long Lihua and Ayaka stared at Keith just as much as them. What was he planning now?!



"Saviour, I don't think you have a say in this matter. This is more of our island's situation." Long Xiaowen frowned.



"True, but I believe I have more say in this situation. After all, I was the one who solved the problem; I believe that's more than enough to talk about this." Saving them certainly carried some weight.



"I agree." "Ancestors, please let him speak," Zhu Liqin and Setsuna firmly spoke up for the child. Their support was significant; the two guardians backing him would give the boy a considerable say on this matter.

"Speak," One of the ancestors sounded.

"Thank you, ancestors," Keith grinned, "I believe that we should hold off on Long Huizhong's execution on the account that we require more information."



"Information? Why do we need more information?" Another elder questioned, "Long Huizhong had one of the baby Samui in his room. There's also those who collaborated with him."



"Fairpoint. But we can't rule out that there's a mastermind behind all of this."



"Eh?!"



"What if that's what they really wanted? They wanted Long Huizhong to be the fall guy while the real culprit is still at large?"



"..." "Child, your words sound so far-fetched."



"Yet they're not at the same time," Keith grinned, "Do you really want to force this verdict down? What if the Samui's babies get captured again?"

"!"



"I was able to stop it this time. However, if the babies get caught again, then all bets are off. They're going to destroy the whole city with you all with it. I think you should be more careful about what's going on."



"Hahaha,"



Their voices continued to echo throughout the chambers. Long Huizhong continued to look composed, but his heart shook slightly as he watched them. But slowly, the people started to get knocked out! Poison?!



"Don't breathe it in!" He shouted, but that wasn't enough as they all dropped to the ground.

"Relax, it's not poison. Just a slight incense to knock them out."



"You!" It was none other than Keith that was before him!



"Why are you here?"



"To have a talk with you,"



"Are you here to laugh it in my face?"



"Huh?" Keith snorted, "Do you really think I'm some guy that would do something like that?"



"Yeah,"



"Well, I'm not," Keith shook his head, "And quit it with that tough guy act. In a place like this, it's not going to work. And I need to check something first." That was when Keith placed down the furball before him, "Smell him."



"Huh?!" You came here to make this creature sniff him?!



Lei started to sniff around for a bit before turning to Keith, "Bo,"



"...I knew it," Keith groaned as he knitted his forehead.



"What do you-"

"You're not the one who caused all of this trouble."
