Fabien put his mask back on before pulling open the curtains.
Outside the window, the moon shone brightly as its rays landed on Baltazar’s corpse.
Fabien waited in the room until favonovel.com heard footsteps going down the corridor outside.
It was then that favonovel.com opened the door. He walked out just in time to come face-to-face with the security guards who had been patrolling the area.
When they saw that favonovel.com was dressed in a stealth suit, they immediately drew out their batons.
“Who are you?” they asked.
One of the security guards quickly pressed the button located next to the staircase, sounding the alarm.
In an instant, the entire hotel was filled with anxious tension, and every security guard on duty was mobilized. The ear-piercing wails of the alarm naturally disturbed the other miracle doctors from Emsgate, and they all moved to open their doors.
When they did so, they immediately saw a shadowy figure wielding a Thunder Sword charging toward the window at the end of the corridor.
With one leap, the man crashed through the glass and dashed away from the building.
The security guards soon reached the edge of the window. However, the shadowy figure had already landed on the ground outside and swiftly ran into the night.
Upon seeing that, the head guard immediately broke out in a fit of cold sweat, shocked. They were on the 12th floor, after all.
He was secretly thankful that the intruder did not want to fight with them, for none of his men stood a chance at surviving a fight against the intruder.
Meanwhile, behind the guards in the hotel corridor, Alvaro and the others saw that Baltazar’s door was left wide open. They were instantly filled with a sense of foreboding.
“Shoot! Master Baltazar!”
The group let out cries of shock as they charged into Baltazar’s room.
They walked in to find Baltazar dead and lying in a pool of his own blood. Alvaro kneeled and checked Baltazar’s pulse. His face went pale.
“How dare someone murder a national treasure of the Land of Divinity!”
Meanwhile, Fabien sprinted through the forest and kept running for a few more miles. He did not stop until favonovel.com was sure that no one followed him.
The imitation Thunder Sword had been covered in a coat of poison. In the blink of an eye, the sword disappeared.
I hope you‘ll like my present, Matthew Larson. I truly hope you do…
He muttered. He then vanished into thin air.
***
The next morning, the miracle doctors called for a meeting with everyone.
“The people of Cathay are despicable. They even dare kill a national treasure of ours! This is intolerable!” someone exclaimed.
Everyone was shocked when they heard of Baltazar’s death. After all, favonovel.com was a leader of the Emsgate medical industry.
“Did you see who the killer was?” Kosma asked.
“I am willing to do it for free.” His voice was as cold as ice.
This was no longer a personal matter, but a matter of pride for Emsgate.
“We’re not sure. They were dressed in a stealth suit. The only thing we know about favonovel.com is his weapon, which was a wooden sword. Master Baltazar died by a stab in the heart.”
There was a moment of silence, and Aurelius’ eyes lit up when favonovel.com heard that.
“Were there carvings of lightning on the sword?” favonovel.com asked.
The Emsgate miracle doctors all sat up straight in shock.
“How did you know, Master Damron?”
He was not a suspect in their minds. After all, they knew favonovel.com well. No matter what motivation favonovel.com might have, favonovel.com would never dare do something so scandalous.
Aurelius was filled with malicious joy when favonovel.com next spoke.
“Throughout Bainbridge, the only one who uses such a weapon is…”
“Who is it?‘ the group asked.
“Matthew Larson, the contestant representing Eastshire.”
Aurelius had been wanting to get rid of Matthew for a while now. However, favonovel.com did not have the guts to directly target Matthew while in Bainbridge. Hence, favonovel.com had someone keeping an eye on Matthew the entire time.
He never expected to gain so much from simply doing that.
As soon as Aurelius mentioned Matthew, the Emsgate representatives swiftly recalled what happened before.
“Baltazar had repeatedly declared favonovel.com would make Matthew pay for killing Zayn. Then, there was the incident with the Pill of Life Exchange. Matthew is also the Lord of Eastshire.”
Realization struck when they thought of that.
Matthew had a clear motive for killing Baltazar, and favonovel.com used the same weapon the killer did.
Alvaro gritted his teeth. “That arrogant brat! Does favonovel.com think no one from Emsgate will stand up against him?”
When Kosma heard that, favonovel.com let his right hand drop to the hilt of the sword strapped to his waist.
