Mo Fan was lost in thought after hearing Mu Bai and Zhao Manyan’s discoveries.

They had not been able to find a single clue for such a long time. They were only searching aimlessly like a headless fly, but they had immediately gained three important clues after searching in the right direction.

Mo Fan was going to show off to them by sharing his discovery, yet both Mu Bai and Zhao Manyan had found important clues too!

“(Cough cough), she’s the poppy grower’s adopted daughter. We were just helping her to recall her past to find where the man’s lab was,” Mo Fan said.

“Holy c.r.a.p!” Zhao Manyan thought he had made the biggest discovery among them, yet it turned out Mo Fan had also learned something important.

“It seems like we are finally on the right track…” Mu Bai said softly.

—

It was important to plan their next step. First, the herbalist was no longer at the Magic a.s.sociation. The Research Union used to be his lab, but he rarely came to the Magic a.s.sociation now. They only knew the Black Vatican had infiltrated the Magic a.s.sociation and was using the Research Union as a cover to produce the Frenzy Liquid.

Second, Zhao Manyan had found a member of the Black Vatican: the student who used Advanced Spells to destroy the wet fields. He had exposed his ident.i.ty when he tried to destroy the evidence.

It was likely that the student had always been spying at the school. The school rarely had patrol cla.s.ses. Whenever there was a patrol cla.s.s, he would sign up for it and destroy any evidence that the group might come upon while patrolling.

The student had done a perfect job when no one suspected the Black Vatican was involved, but Mo Fan and his group were already considering the Black Vatican’s involvement in the first place. They only realized something was odd because they were suspicious about everything.

The people of the Holy Judgment Court would never expect members of the Black Vatican to be hiding at the Aorus Sacred Inst.i.tute. They were abusing the rules of the Aorus Sacred Inst.i.tute to produce their deadly weapon!

They had also harvested a huge amount of Frenzy Poppies!

After securing the raw material, the Black Vatican would quickly turn the Frenzy Poppies into a new batch of Frenzy Liquid. Based on Mu Bai’s rough calculations, the amount of Frenzy Poppies was enough to provoke a kingdom of demon creatures. They had used the same trick to provoke the undead into attacking the Ancient Capital!

“Old Zhao, keep an eye on the student. If you can find a Blue Deacon through him, we could learn more about their operation,” Mo Fan said.

“Although stalking a man isn’t really my expertise, consider it done!” Zhao Manyan agreed.

“Mu Bai, you should stop investigating the village that plants succulents. It’s most likely one of their biggest plantations, so the people there must be very cautious. If they notice we are on their tail, we will have a hard time making our next move,” Mo Fan warned him.

“Alright, I got it,” Mu Bai nodded. He said, “There’s someone in the Aorus Sacred Inst.i.tute who might be a huge breakthrough for us too. I think I’ll focus on him instead.”

“Do you mean Herr Casa?” Mo Fan said.

“Yeah.”

“Are you really sure your sister Yan Qiu is involved?” Mo Fan asked.

“You do know that when my uncle Mu He’s ident.i.ty was exposed, every member of my family in Bo City was interrogated. Mu Ningxue and Mu Zhuoyun suffered the most from it. There shouldn’t be anyone related to the Black Vatican left in our family, but there’s one person the Enforcement Union was unaware of,” Mu Bai said.

“You mean your sister, Yan Qiu?” Mo Fan ventured.

“Yes, only my mother and I knew about her existence. My mother has pa.s.sed away, so I’m the only one who knows about her. I thought I could have a pleasant reunion with her in Europe after the tragedy our family went through, but I was almost killed because of it,” Mu Bai said with a wry smile.

Yan Qiu had been sent to Europe a long time ago. Even though she was sent there to be a maid, it was Mu He who had made the decision.

After Mu He was exposed, almost everyone in the Mu Family was interrogated by the Enforcement Union, but Yan Qiu was the exception. Even Mu Bai almost forgot he still had a sister in Europe.

The reason why he was targeted was pretty obvious. Yan Qiu did not want anyone to know of her existence, so Mu Bai was on the top of her kill list!

“But there wasn’t any evidence to prove she was the culprit, right?” Mo Fan asked.

“I had the same thought, too. I shouldn’t take precautions against the people around me just because of the things that happened to me in the past. It’s the reason why I decided to lower my guard and meet her. I believed she wouldn’t hurt me, but you know what happened from there…” Mu Bai said.

“Herr Casa is currently at the Aorus Sacred Inst.i.tute, which means she’s also hiding at the Aorus Sacred Inst.i.tute as his maid. It’s pretty obvious that she’s with the Black Vatican. It’s too much of a coincidence,” Zhao Manyan said. He patted Mu Bai on the shoulder and comforted him, “Your sister is so vicious, trying to kill you so many times. There’s no need for you to go easy on her. We’ll find her, and if you can’t do it yourself, I’ll kill her on your behalf!”

“I’ll do it myself. It’s not my first time punis.h.i.+ng my own family if justice demands it,” Mu Bai answered grimly.

Zhao Manyan raised his thumb at Mu Bai. Seeing how righteous Mu Bai was, he decided to swallow the words, But there are also things you haven’t done before.

“I was wondering, what position does this Yan Qiu hold in the Black Vatican?” Mo Fan spoke up.

She was a spy Mu He had planted in Europe. She was not involved in the Calamity of Bo City and the Calamity of the Ancient Capital that Salan had orchestrated.

Salan had been forced to hide in Bo City in the past. She did not have great influence back then, yet Yan Qiu had left Bo City around that time. She must have joined the Black Vatican ages ago, yet why was she not involved in Salan’s operations? Or perhaps Salan had other plans for her?

“If Spectre was taking orders from her, her position should be higher than Mu He, right?” Zhao Manyan said.

“Yes, I thought she was only a spy who was taking orders from my uncle Mu He, but there’s also a possibility that she is more powerful than my uncle. It’s easy for people to lower their guard around women. Salan is the perfect example,” Mu Bai pointed out.

Mo Fan nodded. He thought Salan was a detestable man before learning her true ident.i.ty. He had been ready to accept the fact that Salan was a seemingly gentle and kind man on the surface.

To his surprise, Salan had been a woman!
