The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse Chapter 526: 435, The Head is Gone

Chapter 526: Chapter 435, The Head is Gone

Hearing that ‘Imilo’ intended to kill soone to interrogate the corpse.

Greco’s arguing suddenly halted, following which he flared up like a spooked cat, bellowing, “Imilo, have you lost your mind? I am the leader of Gold and Silver Island.”

“The association has no right to dispose of in private. Imilo, you must follow the association’s procedures.”

“Gold and Silver Island won’t let you off the hook when the ti cos.”

Greco spoke rapidly, and seeing that no one opposite him was speaking, his expression began to show fear.

‘Imilo’s presence on Gold and Silver Island was no ordinary residency as Steward, if he said he would kill soone for interrogation, then he truly would kill.

Wu Heng gestured, and the skeleton Kerim drew its sword and stepped forward.

“Alright, alright, you’ve won. I admit I was behind this, and I’m willing to offer sufficient compensation to make ands. Just ask whatever you want to ask directly,” said Greco in a pressing tone, glancing at those opposite him.

Seeing the skeleton’s feet did not stop.

Greco exploded in a sudden burst, breaking free from the team mbers holding him and attempting to take one of them hostage.

But ‘Kerim’ was faster.

The Longsword was swung, and a cold light sliced through the neck.

Greco’s face drastically changed as he clutched his throat tightly, blood spurting from between his fingers.

Then he staggered to his knees, squeezing out gasping, intermittent cries, “Save , I was wrong, save , I’ll tell you everything…”.

The association mbers opposite simply looked on coldly.

Waiting as he gradually gasped his last breath. His body collapsed to the ground.

Wu Heng stepped forward and cast “Communicate with the dead.”

The fallen corpse sat up again, its eyes devoid of any emotion.

Wu Heng directly asked, “Besides you, who else was involved in this matter?”

The corpse’s voice was hoarse, “Vitajus.”

Wu Heng frowned.

A new na had erged.

After contemplating, Wu Heng continued, “Why did you want to kill ?”

The body answered, “There’s a high bounty on you outside, I owed a debt, and Vitajus said he could help collect the bounty from outside if you were dead.”

A blank envelope!

Indeed, it was connected to this matter.

Wu Heng and the other investigators made their notes and continued to ask, “Who is this ‘Vitajus’?”

“An official in the town hall.”

Wu Heng asked, “How is he going to collect the money?”

“I don’t know.”

Only one last question remained.

Wu Heng could only ask, “Where does he live?”

“Are there any others involved?”

“I’m unclear on the rest.”

“Where does he live?”

“Snoburn District, East No. 153 mansion.”

After the five questions, the body lay back down.

“Take the body back,” ‘Imilo’ ordered, then continued, “The town hall is not yet open for work. You two, go directly to the residence to make the arrest; before the Guard Team arrives, bring the individual to the association.”

“Yes!” The two of them nodded.

The body was collected, and the crowd left the ship.

…

In the carriage.

Xi Ligui removed her helt and set it aside, “Gold and Silver Island really isn’t a good place, the leader in charge of public safety, to kill a Vice-executive of the association over gambling debts, this would be a joke if it got out.”

“Yes, I also didn’t expect this outco.”

Wu Heng had not anticipated that the head of the Guard Team would be the perpetrator.

However, considering how the whole affair unfolded, it made more sense that the assailant was the head of the Guard Team.

Otherwise, the victim would not have been taken so easily.

“Fortunately, there wasn’t any serious trouble,” said Xi Ligui, looking at him, then continued, “In the future, if such a situation arises again, rember to bring the association’s team with you. Going out on your own as a Mage is very dangerous.”

“I’ll be more careful next ti.”

Wu Heng verbally agreed, yet his heart harbored different thoughts.

After all, he had plenty of secrets himself; possessing Ghost Detection and being able to summon the Skeleton Army actually made it more convenient to be unaccompanied.

Seeing that Xi Ligui had nothing more to say.

Wu Heng spoke up, “What happened to our first-class reward from last ti, why has there been no word?”

When they killed the Demon’s Hand Pirate Group, they had earned a total of six second-class rits.

At that ti, the quality of the rewards was diocre and the quantity insufficient.

So, they followed ‘Imilo’s suggestion and applied for one first-class rit with the six.

Given the quality and rarity of the rewards, a first-class rit was definitely a precious treasure.

Yet, ti had passed and the reward had not been issued, nor had Imilo ntioned it again.

“Not sure, the process might be complicated, let’s wait a bit longer, a guild can’t possibly cheat us, two vice-executives, out of our reward,” Xi Ligui said in a soft voice.

That made sense, and there wasn’t a much better option.

“Right, you make a good point,” Wu Heng agreed.

Then, the two of them proceeded to discuss so affairs of the island.

The carriage gradually began to slow down.

The following squad drew nearer and announced, “Vice-executives, we’ve arrived at our destination.”

The two of them opened the carriage door and stepped out directly.

…

To one side, there was a mansion.

mbers of the squad gathered around, converging at the entrance.

Xi Ligui, with one hand on the hilt of Longsword, said, “Knock.”

Knock! Knock! Knock!

A squad mber stepped forward and knocked forcefully on the door.

Soon after, footsteps were heard, and a middle-aged man peered out.

When he saw the guild mbers assembled outside the door, his eyes tightened slightly, “Gentlen, what brings you here?”

Xi Ligui sized him up, “Whose residence is this?”

“This property belongs to Master Vitajus.”

“And where is he?” Xi Ligui asked as he pushed past the man, leading the team inside while continuing the inquiry.

The man hurried to lead the way, blocking the path, “Gentlen, our master is a municipal official, barging in like this seems a bit impolite.”

With a wave of Xi Ligui’s hand, soone imdiately grabbed the man while others intercepted the guards who were gathering around.

The rest of the team entered the residence and began a thorough search.

The living room was empty, with several young maids standing to the side, appearing restrained.

The search proceeded floor by floor, heading upstairs.

“There’s soone here,” ca the voice of a squad mber from a fourth-floor bedroom.

The group quickly moved to the upper floors.

Before even reaching the fourth floor, a rich stench of blood assailed their nostrils.

Moving swiftly into the room and looking inside,

the bedroom curtains were tightly closed, the light was dim, and a corpulent figure lay naked on the bed.

Only the body remained; the head was nowhere to be found.

Blood dripped steadily down the sheets,

gathering on the floor to form a vivid crimson stream.

Was the person dead?

Had they died en route as they were coming?

After receiving the ssage from Wenshi, they had rushed over,

“Bring soone up to identify the body,” Xi Ligui instructed those below.

The middle-aged man who had opened the door was brought up; upon seeing the decapitated corpse, he staggered several steps backward, nearly tumbling down the stairs.

“How did the master, the master die?”

“Is he ‘Vitajus’?” Xi Ligui inquired.

“Yes, yes,” the middle-aged man replied, trembling.
