Chapter 114: Two Secret Letters
Out of caution, Ji Zhixiu didn’t imdiately check the contents of the letters.
Since this was a box sealed by a white magician, it was possible those letters were too. She would be falling into a trap if there were sigils on them as well.
Like the books in the bookstore, a white magician’s sigils also possessed the power to affect the minds and souls of those who even glanced at them.
Ji Zhixiu stared at the two letters in her hands, her expression grave.
In the dim light of the bookstore, she montarily lost herself in thought.
The fact that Heris placed them in the box containing the original formula suggests that the letters must have been important, or even on par with the formula.
However, the sordid blood formulation already represented the basis of a hunter organization as well as the source of all the hunter’s power.
Putting herself in the shoes of a hunter, as well as the founder of a hunter organization, Ji Zhixiu couldn’t imagine anything that could match the importance of a sordid blood formula for a leader.
Much less two letters.
What Ji Zhixiu found strange was that these two letters could be destroyed to keep the contents secret and there wouldn’t be a need to hide them away in this box.
As a hunter on the verge of reaching Destructive-rank, Heris couldn’t have been so forgetful that he would need to read the letter so often to rember its contents.
Ji Zhixiu had so suspicions, but as her thoughts flowed, a notion popped up in her mind and it got stronger by the minute.
Unless... The source of the original formula is written on this letter!
Ji Zhixiu’s heart pounded rapidly and she licked her lips subconsciously. She glanced at Lin Jie and saw that the bookstore owner had picked up a book to read and wasn’t paying any heed.
Since there was no activity from the bookstore owner, did it an that it was... safe?
Ji Zhixiu nodded slowly, taking it as a sort of tacit approval from Lin Jie. However, her face darkened after she picked the letters and read them.
The two letters were written exactly 30 years apart.
And they were both sent from the sa place.
— The sa faint, red watermark, a symbol of a sword and a surrounding spiral of fla, was printed on both letters.
These letters were sent to the sa person.
—The Heris from 30 years ago who had just beco a hunter, and the White Wolf leader Heris from 30 years later.
Heris was once very famous amongst hunters.
This was partly due to the White Wolf’s steady growth in the three decades of his leadership, and partly because of his strength and intelligence.
Even though Heris ultimately t a horrid demise, it couldn’t erase any of his forr glory.
Most importantly, he had started from nothing, a naless hunter without any background who inadvertently obtained the original formula and climbed to where he was.
However, nobody knew where he got the original formula from.
Most people put this as a ’fortuitous occurrence,’ since it had happened quite a long ti ago and it was very difficult to know what had happened unless they were the ones involved.
Also, nobody truly bothered with such a tiny detail.
But right now, Ji Zhixiu finally understood exactly how Heris had gotten his formula...
Thirty years ago, this letter and the original formula had found its way to Heris.
On the letter, it wrote: Accept it and the dealings between us are established. Henceforth, a powerful hunter organization will rise and you no longer have to be trash sitting on the corner.
We guarantee that there isn’t anything wrong with the formula and no one will find any problems with it. All you need to do is inject yourself with the sordid blood to gain your power.
Whether the na Heris goes down in history trampled on in the dirt or dazzles like the stars in the sky... Only you can decide it.
Thirty years ago, such enticing words in the letter made their way to a young and poor youth who had just beco a hunter.
And from what ca after, it was evident that Heris accepted this deal and eventually beca the leader of White Wolf.
However, there was no such thing as a free lunch. Surely, there would be a hidden price to pay involved, which would also be the reason why this mysterious organization had given the formula to Heris in the first place.
"So this is the true origin of White Wolf." Ji Zhixiu’s eyes narrowed. An organization that could casually give the formula to a small and obscure hunter definitely possessed fearso power.
However, she had never seen the watermark on this letter before, which ant that they kept themselves very well hidden.
The other letter, which was only sent recently, had a very simple content.
In seven days, a magic ovum mirror will be released from the dream realm at 27th Avenue. Acquire it and you will obtain the opportunity to rise to Destructive-rank.
Ji Zhixiu’s pupils contracted. This was where information about the Magic Ovum Mirror ca from!
And at that ti, Heris wasn’t going to get rid of the Magic Ovum Mirror. From the beginning, his intention was to acquire and use it to rise up to Destructive-rank.
However, he never imagined that the ending of his story would be rewritten the mont he touched it.
This mysterious organization must have made Heris do other things in these thirty years, grooming him every step of the way before leading him towards destruction.
Heris had only placed this letter along with the original letter into this box. Could he have already foreseen his impending demise and thus kept these two letters hoping to expose this organization...
Or rather, drag them down along with himself in his desperation.
Ji Zhixiu recalled the deranged manner of Heris, arms raised in the last monts of the rain.
It was hard to imagine what exactly was going on in his mind at that ti.
Between sobriety and madness, discovering that he was a re puppet, a pitiful creature manipulated by fate... yet could only rush towards that gigantic rain god...
Out of respect, Lin Jie didn’t peek at the contents of the box. However, he could see the expression on Ji Zhixiu’s face.
Incredulity, followed by enlightennt, then turning into panic and pity appeared on her face.
Lin Jie raised an eyebrow, as he imagined the twists and turns of the plot.
It seems like the scumbag who intentionally cheated Miss Ji’s feelings had quite the complicated background.
"Gang criminal activity?" Lin Jie put down his book as he displayed his life ntor, chicken soup distributor and relationship guru side for himself and asked with a tad of curiosity, "He was being instructed like a chess piece, with greater benefits behind it all, am I right?
“Looks like your revenge is far from concluded..."
