Even if they were dissatisfied with these ancient martial arts families, they wouldn't resort to such an extre asure as extermination at most, they would suppress and weaken them. Hearing the Fifth Elder's words, Abdul Wahab scratched his head.
In his mind, the only entities capable of directly wiping out an ancient martial arts family were either those celestial legacy forces or the official authorities of the Minghua Base. He struggled to conceive of anyone else possessing such capability.
"Could it be..."
Abdul Wahab suddenly thought of a possibility, but he abruptly stopped mid sentence.
"Oh? What did you think of?"
The Fifth Elder asked with keen interest.
"Sir, I did think of a possibility, but I'm hesitant to say it."
Abdul Wahab felt a bit troubled.
"Hmph, still not daring to speak! The 'King of the Dark Night,' who is usually decisive and strikes fear into countless opposing forces, has monts when he doesn't dare to speak?"
The Fifth Elder shook his head and said, "Speak freely!"
With his leader's permission, Abdul Wahab lowered his voice and said, "There's another possibility: the person responsible might be you, sir, or one of the other four elders. After all, any one of you has the capability."
"Pfft!"
Hearing this, the Fifth Elder chuckled. This King of the Night really dares to think.
"It's not , nor could it be any of the other four elders."
The Fifth Elder suddenly stood up, his expression turning serious.
"Because we have no motive to do so, and if you truly understand the alliance, you should know that while the alliance can be ruthless at tis, it adheres to absolute principles."
"Our alliance exists to protect the interests of all humanity. It would never silently annihilate a force that hasn't broken the law!"
The Fifth Elder's words were resolute.
"Sir, I apologize for speaking out of turn."
Abdul Wahab quickly apologized.
"No, you are not wrong. Suspecting anyone suspicious is a basic quality of an intelligence officer. You can certainly suspect and even the Chief Elder. After all, the purpose of our secretariat is to clear out those who threaten human peace and prosperity, including insiders!"
The Fifth Elder patted Abdul Wahab on the shoulder, encouraging him.
"Now, that was just a brief discussion with you. This matter requires further investigation. In the anti, you'll form a special task force to investigate the circumstances surrounding the extermination of the Tuoba family."
"Yes, sir!" Abdul Wahab saluted.
"Sir, what should the project codena be?"
Abdul Wahab inquired.
"An [unknown existence]."
Elder Kairi spoke slowly.
After receiving the task, Abdul Wahab left the office. Elder Kairi walked to the window, staring blankly at the birds on the treetops outside. One by one, suspected culprits flashed through Elder Kairi's mind.
Suddenly, an image in his mind froze.
"Is it possible that it's the Shah Family? But, the Shah Family really lacks strength."
Elder Kairi murmured, feeling a sense of fog and uncertainty before him. What is the truth of the matter?
He picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Have the [Nigh tingale Team] investigate if there have been any unusual activities from the Shah Family recently."
...
Half an hour later, the Fifth Elder received a report from the Nigh tingale Group.
"Are you saying that the Shah Family recently changed their head? And they've made so personnel adjustnts?"
The Fifth Elder asked in surprise.
"Sir, according to the information I have, the current head of the Shah Family, Iskandar, has recently killed many people within the family and is focused on reorganizing the family. Therefore, the probability of the Shah Family being the perpetrators of the massacre is extrely low."
The intelligence officer from the Night tingale Group replied.
"Alright, I understand."
With that, the Fifth Elder hung up the phone.
A family that has just undergone a change in leadership is almost unlikely to take external aggressive actions. At this mont, the Fifth Elder's suspicion towards the Shah Family had decreased to its lowest point.
Who could it be then?
Five minutes later, the phone on the desk suddenly rang. After checking the caller ID, the Fifth Elder answered the call: "What is it?"
"Sir, we've just received news that Iskandar has officially announced the dissolution of the family. He has distributed money to the family mbers, instructing them to live separately across various places. From now on, there will no longer be a unified Shah Family in the world."
Nigh tingale reported.
"What? Dissolved the family?"
The Fifth Elder was taken aback.
What kind of move is this?
"Why did he suddenly decide to dissolve the family? Tell everything you know."
As an excellent intelligence officer, the Fifth Elder imdiately sensed that this matter might be related to the extermination of the Tuoba family and promptly inquired further.
"Sir, here's how it is..."
Nigh tingale proceeded to report the information he had gathered. According to Nigh tingale, Iskandar had just suddenly made this decision and convened a eting to inform the entire family.
Not only was Nigh tingale shocked, but many others, including the mbers of the Shah Family, were also taken aback by this decision. No one understood why Iskandar would do such a thing.
He had just assud the position of family head, even using so unscrupulous ans to secure his position, and now, before he had even settled in, he announced the disband of the family, which seed quite irrational.
However, Iskandar's speech at the family dissolution eting provided a convincing explanation. This recently high spirited family head openly admitted that he was afraid.
He feared that the mysterious force responsible for wiping out the Tuoba family might also target the Shah Family, another ancient martial arts family, and that the Shah Family might et the sa fate as the Tuoba family.
Additionally, he revealed a shocking piece of news: the forr family head, Rahman, and all mbers of the executive council had gone missing, likely having t a grim fate.
