Capítulo 1181: Chapter 227: Ti to Die
Rodrigo was furious after receiving the news, especially upon hearing the question if he was the one responsible.
This implied that Xu Mo had been assassinated, and everyone was suspecting him.
Rodrigo indeed harbored a strong intention to kill; he even contemplated whether this might be an opportunity, but quickly dismissed the thought.
Leaving aside whether this was an opportunity deliberately exposed by Xu Mo, even if it wasn’t a conspiracy, if he truly killed Xu Mo, the Mystic God Temple wasn’t foolish. Everyone knew about his feud with Xu Mo; how could he possibly kill Xu Mo at this crucial ti?
Therefore, Rodrigo restrained his strong urge to kill, Xu Mo must die, but the ti hadn’t co yet.
But what Rodrigo didn’t expect was that he did nothing, yet Xu Mo still got assassinated, severely injured…
One can imagine Rodrigo’s mood at this mont, especially as his friends all asked if it was his doing.
Presumably, everyone thought so; even Vera thought so.
Rodrigo’s first reaction was, this matter… was orchestrated by Xu Mo himself; he was staging it.
But besides himself, who else would think so?
Presumably, everyone thought he was retaliating against Xu Mo because of Vera.
Soon, Rodrigo received several ssages, which he ignored, all inquiring about Xu Mo being assassinated, driving Rodrigo almost crazy.
It seed he was destined to take the bla?
At this point, the Communicator vibrated again; Rodrigo answered it.
“Father,” Rodrigo called out.
“I heard so things from the Mystic God Temple, that your relationship with Vera encountered problems, and you had soone assassinate a Transcendent from the Mystic God Temple?” a voice ca through.
“It wasn’t ,” Rodrigo said. “Most likely this person plotted against ; now the whole Mystic God Temple knows about my feud with him, I’m not that foolish.”
“That person is called Xu Mo, right, the genius of the Mystic God Temple, once awarded the Heroic dal by the leader,” Rodrigo’s father clearly understood the specifics, even knowing Xu Mo’s background, and said, “Since it wasn’t you, why would he conspire against you, and even injure himself severely.”
Rodrigo was silent for a mont, the other side continued, “Tell the truth, don’t conceal anything.”
“Regarding the Abyss, you know about Proto, Father, because of Proto’s death, the Chloe Star Mystic God Temple won’t let it go, publicly labeled as the killer of Proto. Because of this, in the Abyss, I seized an opportunity to kill two Cultivators from the Chloe Star Mystic God Temple,”
Rodrigo spoke, “This matter, Xu Mo, who was left in the Abyss for three years, knows about it. Earlier, he threatened , saying he would reveal this to Vera.”
“However, he doesn’t have any evidence…” Rodrigo added.
“You scoundrel,” ca a reprimanding voice, Rodrigo’s face looked unpleasant as his father continued, “Proto wasn’t killed by you, as long as you deny it, nobody can do anything to you, yet you personally killed two Cultivators from the Mystic God Temple? Those two were insignificant figures, why take such risks for this? Moreover, you didn’t do a clean job, leaving hidden dangers.”
Rodrigo’s face darkened, precisely because they were insignificant figures, he killed them at his convenience, he didn’t see it as a problem.
“Rodrigo, your biggest problem is being overly arrogant and looking down on others. Now, because of rashly making enemies, you’re in a passive position, your relationship with Vera broken, years of sches ruined.”
Rodrigo’s father continued reprimanding, “Now, do you have any thoughts on redial actions?”
“The situation with Vera is probably beyond redy,” Rodrigo understood too; the assassination incident sealed the fate of his and Vera’s split, their relationship had already hit rock bottom before.
“Vera’s side can be given up,” Rodrigo’s father said, “Besides, stay at ho for a few days, don’t go back to the Mystic God Temple.”
“In that case, wouldn’t the Mystic God Temple think even more that I’m deliberately avoiding?” Rodrigo said, wouldn’t that an Xu Mo’s conspiracy succeeded?
“Since he knows it was you in the Abyss, how can you be sure he hasn’t reported to the Mystic God Temple?” Rodrigo’s father said, “The Mystic God Temple isn’t foolish, and with this assassination incident, if you return to the Mystic God Temple, there would be many uncertainties. Lay low for a while; from the current standpoint, Xu Mo’s tactics are far superior to yours.”
Rodrigo’s face was gloomy, but he nodded in agreent.
If not for the Abyss assassination incident, he could return with an easy mind. But because of another killing incident, he harbored guilt in his heart.
…
At the Mystic God Temple, Rodrigo did not appear.
This also sparked greater controversy, could it really have been Rodrigo?
If so, that would indeed be too impulsive.
Sowhat unwise.
In the Mystic God Temple’s dical ward, Xu Mo had recovered quite a bit.
Zero stood by his side.
At this mont, a figure approached, it was Vera O’Brien.
“Senior Sister,” Xu Mo called, Vera nodded slightly; she also saw Zero, though she indeed had no particular relationship with Xu Mo, so there was no guilt, she rely asked, “How are you?”
“Not going to die,” Xu Mo replied.
“Was it him?” Vera asked.
Xu Mo shook his head, “I don’t know.”
Vera’s brow furrowed; she was extrely angry after learning about this, but she didn’t go to question Rodrigo, as there was no point.
Rodrigo would undoubtedly deny it whether or not it was him, so asking him had no practical aning.
However, Vera was also puzzled by the matter.
Although Rodrigo is arrogant, would he really dare to be so bold as to have soone assassinated the genius of the Mystic God Temple publicly on Capital Star?
Perhaps, Xu Mo has other enemies?
“Senior Sister.” At this mont, Xu Mo called out, and Vera looked at him, only to hear Xu Mo say, “Senior Sister, I’ve always wanted to apologize to you.”
“Hmm?” Vera didn’t quite understand.
“Actually, what Rodrigo said is true, my approach to you indeed had ulterior motives…” Xu Mo said.
“…” Vera looked at Xu Mo, a strange thought erged in her mind, glancing at Zero by the side, she felt her thoughts were sowhat ridiculous, where was she going with this?
Ulterior motives could be for other purposes, no matter how audacious Xu Mo was, he wouldn’t…
Just then, Zero also looked at Xu Mo and blinked.
Hmm, another Elizabeth, isn’t it?
“However, regarding this matter, I never had evidence, so I never told you, I just wanted to get familiar with you first, find the chance before telling you about Rodrigo.” Xu Mo said.
Vera showed a sign of surprise about Rodrigo?
So, what exactly is Xu Mo referring to?
“Senior Sister, it’s better if you see it for yourself. I will enter your mind with my spiritual power and share a mory fragnt with you. Whether you believe it or not doesn’t matter, this matter, besides Zero, only you know.” Xu Mo said solemnly.
Vera O’Brien saw Xu Mo’s serious expression, she also nodded seriously, not worried about what Xu Mo might do invading her mind, she still sowhat trusted Xu Mo, not to ntion, in the Mystic God Temple, Xu Mo wouldn’t dare be so rash.
“Senior Sister, I’m coming in.” Xu Mo said.
“Alright.” Vera nodded.
Xu Mo’s spiritual power entered Vera’s mind, and then a mory scene appeared in Vera’s mind, this mory scene wasn’t long, soon Xu Mo’s spiritual power withdrew.
Vera was briefly stunned, then felt a wave of chill throughout her body.
“Rodrigo, killed Wu Lai, Asaka, and that child?” Vera O’Brien suddenly felt Rodrigo was so unfamiliar.
“Yes.”
Xu Mo nodded.
“Why would he do this?” Vera asked.
“Because of Proto.” Xu Mo said, “Proto was also killed by Rodrigo, out of a disgust for Wu Lai and Asaka, perhaps Rodrigo thought killing them was just a convenience.”
Vera knew the controversy about Proto’s death, she was there at the ti as well.
Moreover, she recalled when the school fell into chaos earlier, Rodrigo disappeared in front of her for a period… This series of events linked together, it was easy to know the truth.
At this mont, Vera felt a chill all over her body, so cold.
So, over these years, what kind of person is her friend Rodrigo, after all?
“Senior Sister, I know you have a good relationship with Rodrigo and are friends, so trusting him is normal, but I discovered in the Abyss that this matter was done by Rodrigo, though there was no direct evidence, I could only use Cultivation as an excuse to approach you, wait for the right ti to tell you this, at least to let you see who Rodrigo really is.” Xu Mo said, “For the deception over these days, Senior Sister, I apologize.”
Vera’s mind was a bit chaotic.
She looked at Xu Mo and asked, “Does Rodrigo know that you found out?”
“Yes.” Xu Mo nodded.
“So he wants to kill you?” Vera seed to have found the answer herself.
If it was previously because of her, Rodrigo wanted to kill Xu Mo, she was a bit skeptical, but with the existence of this matter, everything made sense.
Rodrigo must clear out Xu Mo, he has a reason to kill Xu Mo, even if it’s risky, he would still do it.
Xu Mo didn’t answer Vera’s question.
“Over at the Mystic God Temple…” Vera continued to ask.
“Once I recover, I will report everything to the Mystic God Temple, Senior Sister Vera, please keep it confidential for now, later, we might need your help.” Xu Mo said.
“Okay.” Vera nodded, leaving with a complicated heart.
Xu Mo watched Vera disappear and closed his eyes.
Rodrigo arrogantly believed that he killed Wu Lai and Asaka, without evidence, no one could do anything to him.
Then, this ti Xu Mo was assassinated, also without evidence.
It cannot be proven that Rodrigo did it.
However, it cannot be proven that Rodrigo did not do it.
If Wu Lai’s death hadn’t happened before, then this matter would have no significance.
But precisely because of the previous event, this assassination becos very aningful.
The situation is set.
Rodrigo can die!
