Chapter 226 Assassination Of Ulv! [3] "You should not have touched my family!" Zero said. He had no emotion when he looked at Ulv, just like it is natural for him to die after Ulv has done something like this. Zero also gave a hint to who he is. Ulv Sylvester was no idiot and instantly realized what Zero was talking about. There was only one person that he recently messed with but he didn't know how he knew it was him. Though he used telepathy and provoked Zero, he knew that he would never be able to guess his identity. And the person in front of him has strength which is absolutely unbelievable. "Ze..." But before he could open his mouth to confirm his guess, Zero's attack had hit him and there was nothing he could do but defend using his mana barrier. -BOOOOOM! "Finally it is over!" Zero said. He stared at the body which was the result of his attack. What was left was a corpse beyond recognition that was infused with Dark Energy. Anyone who checks his body will suspect that it was a Devil or a Devil Contractor that killed him. There was nothing that would give away his identity. He then kept all the evidence of Ulv Sylvester being a traitor on the table including the tape recorder. He also had a copy of them stored on his personal computer just in case he needed them in the future. As long as things go according to his expectation, he knows that The Authority will not investigate much of this incident. They would definitely not want others to know that they had a traitor in their organization which will increase distrust among many organizations who believe them and their dignity will also go down. As far as Zero was concerned, they might at most try to conduct a small investigation and guess who killed Ulv Sylvester. Ulv Sylvester being a traitor is not important to The Authority and they might even keep this whole murder case as an act of justice that had helped The Authority. Well, it will depend on who is in charge of this case. He had to wait and see how they responded, but he reckoned they wouldn't want to announce the fact that the Authority had a spy from Dark Guild. However, their suspect would be the Devil or the Devil Contractor regardless of how they investigate. They will never find out who the real killer is. As for Dark Guild, Zero reckon that they will be super pissed after they learn of this. Ulv Sylvester's strength was not important as they had many members who were stronger than him but he was an extremely valuable chess piece to them. Ulv was in a high position in The Authority and would give sensitive information that was useful to Dark Guild. Even if they investigate, they will also never guess that I was the one to kill their spy. Zero exited the building. He didn't know how many days it would be before someone found out that Ulv Sylvester was dead and there was a high chance that Dark Guild might come first and take all the evidence. So, after Zero ran away from that place, he called The Authority to inform them that he had been seeing some suspicious activity in that hotel. As for whether they can track my call, good luck to them. Afterward, Zero returned to the hospital and slept without any worries. ****** [ One Hour after the call ] Many security agents from The Authority came to the hotel to investigate. In the beginning, it seemed to be just some simple problem with someone calling them about a possible crime, but when they got there, they found three dead bodies, and most importantly among them was Ulv Sylvester, which caused the incident to become more serious. In Spirit Meadow was the Tournament Management Team, a group of high-ranking people who were also in the same group as Ulv Sylvester for the mission assigned to them for managing the tournament. They called for help in the investigation. They had to be very careful because the murderer was very strong with the ability to kill Rank-A. One should know that to kill someone from Rank-A, one needs to be significantly stronger than the other party. In a formal match and tournament, a person of similar rank might be able to win, but killing someone is a whole lot harder than just beating them. Therefore, for someone to assassinate Ulv Sylvester in the hotel, they know that the killer would need to be very strong. Therefore, a team of strong people was assembled to investigate this case. The first thing that they noticed was the evidence that was kept near Ulv's corpse. Naturally, they had looked into them. There was information about all kinds of misdeeds that Ulv Sylvester did including the rigging of the tournament. It also had evidence of Ulv being a Dark Guild member. At first, many were skeptical about the evidence as the murderer would obviously have a grudge against Ulv and those things were not verified yet. But then after listening to the recording, The Authority agent's expression darkened. "…spare me. My name is Ulv Sylvester and I am a member of Dark Guild. We have the same goal as you. We also want to destroy humans. Please, I am even willing to become a Devil Contractor…" Ulv had confessed all those things with his own mouth and they naturally had to believe the recorder. They didn't expect one of the oldest and trusted members of The Authority to be a spy of Dark Guild. They could not think about the damage and leakage of information that might have happened due to him. More importantly, evidence of someone from The Authority rigging the tournament was bad news. If it gets out, then many will begin to distrust them and they would lose lots of authority. They might not even be allowed to control many of the existing dungeons. Which guild and Academy will believe them again after such things? Even with their power, they would not be able to exert much dominance if they lost the trust of everyone. "I didn't expect that Ulv Sylvester was a spy from the Dark Guild. I guess you didn't like him for a reason." One of the Tournament Management team members said to his friend. "I also never expected that he was such a scumbag. The reason I didn't like him was that he likes to abuse his authority, especially at the tournament. He was clearly trying to eliminate that student and the referee was also in on that." He replied. "At least, we know that the referee might also be the traitor. Contact others and have them apprehend him. We might get more info from him." He ordered other agents from The Authority. They replayed the recording as they tried to get more information. Not only did they know that Ulv was a traitor but they also managed to gain some information about the killer. According to what was in the recorder, the murderer was most likely the Devil, coupled with the fact that there are traces of Dark Energy on Ulv Sylvester's body, they had to assume that it was a Devil or the Devil Contractor. In addition, they know that the rank of a Devil is at least that of a Count, which is comparable to that of a Rank-A human. They searched for more evidence or clues about the murder but this was it. They checked the CCTV and found that it was tempered because it was showing a completely normal Ulv and in the next moment, the dead body appeared. They needed a thorough search of people in the vicinity, possibly everyone in the SpiritMeadow and they also had to lock down the city with special artifacts so that the murderer does not escape. They immediately informed the higher-ups about this situation as the situation regarding the spy is very serious. It was crucial that they ask for permission from higher-ups if they want to conduct a more thorough search throughout the city. They had to keep this situation classified and close the case earlier due to the insistence of higher-ups who don't want to create any scandal. At the time of the tournament, if something as important as the information about the spy being in The Authority gets out then the whole dignity of their organization will be lost. They also can't lock down the whole city for catching the murderer. Imagine if the murderer, in his desperate attempt to escape, begins holding hostage the people trapped inside Spirit Meadow city which is a bigger problem than finding the murderer. Additionally, if the murderer spread the information in case they tried to capture him, then it was not good for them. Because compared to the death of the spy which can be said to be good for their organization, they can't afford to have this scandal known. And they had to put in a lot more resources to find and capture such a strong Devil which they don't want as a traitor. It would have been a different story if Ulv was not a spy but since all the evidence points to that, they had to believe this and treat him as a traitor. Anyway, The Authority is already short of men due to the tournament and due to the recent increase in Gate. They don't have many resources to invest in a problem that will not cause them any trouble. With that, The Authority closed the case!
