Chapter 489 The Chairman’s Declaration

"I found the whereabouts of Faceless Ancient!"

Gunnar's words struck like thunder in everyone's ears, and their eyes widened as they looked at him with all kinds of expressions, mostly killing intent.

"Where?!" Nelsen demanded in a thrilled voice while Lucy was also looking at Gunnar with elation. Ellie, who was sitting close to Nelsen, was emitting killing intent.

If anyone hated and were wary of Jacob, it would be these three because they knew if Jacob hated someone in the entire epic plains, it would be them. Lucy and Ellie now truly fear Jacob's revenge and want to get rid of him quickly and by any means necessary.

However, that guy was like a ghost; he seemed to be everywhere, but at the same time, he was nowhere. They couldn't get any clues about his whereabouts. Nowadays, not only them but all the people here were afraid that Jacob would launch a white sun missile on them.

If Nelsen hadn't assured them about his countermeasure against Jacob's mechanical weapons, none of them would sleep in peace.

Gunnar's expression remained deadly cold as he replied, "He's in the trial plain!"

This was another unexpected bomb that dropped in the entire meeting room.

"But how?" Lucy blurted in disbelief, "Moreover, how did you get this information, and how reliable it is? Did someone come out from the trial? Isn't it too quick, or did someone get lucky and teleported close to the exit?"

There was too much uncertainty in this information. Even Nelsen was frowning because he felt all that excitement was for nothing, and this information was probably false. But still, Gunnar wasn't someone to jump the guns, so he wanted to hear the source of this information.

Gunnar pursed his lips and angrily replied, "Evidently, my foolish daughter somehow snuck into the trial plains, and not only that, she even encountered and traveled with Faceless Ancient until that bastard cleared the trial condition! Seeing even my daughter could enter, I don't think it was a big deal for Faceless Ancient. I guess it's time for me to purge useless trash from our ranks." n-.o.-V--e-(l//b.(1/(n

The entire room fell into deadly silence when they heard this unexpected information, and they looked at Gunnar with utter disbelief, and some of them finally understood why Gunnar seemed so pissed off.

But the most ridiculous and grim news was about Faceless Ancient clearing a trial condition less than a month after the trial had started!

Gunnar then started to explain how he got a call from Charlotte through the vermin transponder. He no longer cares about other findings about the vermin transponder since that matter was nowhere near as important as Jacob wreaking havoc in the trial plain.

Furthermore, this also proves another thing: Jacob wasn't the one who caused all those explosions or assassinations. There was someone else, probably the Society Killer!

After Gunnar was done explaining the events in the trial plains, everyone in the room turned their focus on Nelsen, who had some pale expression at this moment.

Suddenly, Gunnar's focus turned to Lucy as she was wearing a mask, but her expression behind that mask was clearly hideous since her eyes were shimmering with killing intent.

He coldly said, "Furthermore, I think Miss Manager owes us all an explanation. From what Charlotte told me, Faceless Ancient is a giant, not a golden elf, nor he had a crippled eye. Furthermore, he's as powerful as a peak epic-rank combatant. I want to know where you got that information and why you trusted it so much.

"You should know because of that information; we turned our focus on elves while that guy was busy spreading his destructive weapons and making money."

His words cause everyone to shift their focus on Lucy.

Lucy was startled by this sudden discovery, and her eyes widened, "This? Are you sure?" She asked Gunnar with absolute shock.

Gunnar gave her a threatening glare, "Are you doubting my daughter's ability to differentiate between a weak elf and a powerful giant?"

"Are you working with him, you bitch!?" Before Lucy could reply, Ellie stood up from her seat and pointed her finger at Lucy maliciously.

Lucy's expression turned ashen as she glared at Ellie with killing intent, "Mind your tongue, Vice Guild Leader. Your allegation is completely baseless. Everyone knows here how much I have spent to get rid of Faceless Ancient."

"Then mind telling us why you give us false informant on his appearance and race? You should know if he was really a giant all this time, then you're proclaiming him an elf could be seen as a huge blunder.

"All our resources were wasted, not to mention all those golden elves we captured and put through torture would not be very pleased. In fact, all the elves present in this room and the entire elven community would like an explanation from their fellow elf."? Nelsen coldly questioned. He literally made Lucy the enemy of all elves, and the elves in this room looked at Lucy with a hint of hostility now.

Everyone knew that elves stick together and don't let another race walk over them easily. But because of Lucy's information about Faceless Ancient being a golden elf, the entire elf community had been suffering from scorn and humiliation in these past few years.

While the Golden Elf tribe was completely purged, not even children were spared. But now, it all turned out to be nothing but a farce. Not to mention, Nelsen and Ellie were there to ignite the flames and put Lucy under huge pressure, and it was even more hazardous for Lucy because she was also an elf.

Lucy gave Nelsen a ferocious glare before she coldly said, "If you really want to know, I'll tell you. I got that picture from the Dark Earl of the Dark City. He was the only person who had come in contact with Faceless Ancient in the rare plains. You can even confirm it with the Dark Earls once they arrive here. If you want to seek revenge, seek it with the Dark Earl, not me."

Everyone frowned when the Dark Earl was mentioned. Even Gunnar showed a hint of doubt because if this was true, then even he couldn't do anything to a Dark Earl-level figure!

"Alright, if this is true, then I won't blame you." Gunnar spoke, "Besides, I don't think it's time to blame each other. It's a miracle Charlotte was able to live to tell the tale, and this also put us on the right track. Furthermore, she also killed the Puppeteer Zombie Dead Duke.

"Although she was reckless, and I will deal with her once I find her, she had done an excellent job and given us information that not even our most powerful informative couldn't.

"Since we know where the Faceless Ancient is, and he seemed to be capable of completing the trial quickly, just like he does in the rare plains, we can't sit still and wait for him to succeed." Gunnar's words caused many to become solemn.

He then looked at Nelsen and Lucy and said in an irrefutable tone, "I want you two to put your differences aside and figure out the trial type from the informant Charlotte had provided.? Or at least narrowed it down to three possibilities.

"I'm giving you 12 hours. In the meantime, I'm going to put a team together and head inside myself. But if you still don't meet my demand, one of you is coming with me. This is my final verdict, and there is no room for rejection!"

Gunnar declared before he left the room, leaving everyone gobsmacked while Nelsen and Lucy appeared quite ashen!
