Chapter 467 - 311: It’s the Apocalypse—Who Needs a Reason to Kill? (3)

Lin Lang sat on the sofa, calmly drinking coffee, exuding an aura of tranquility.

Utilizing the Power of the Divine Soul, he immediately became aware of the situation on Xina’s end—

Although Xina and the others were still frightened, they were temporarily out of life-threatening danger.

Therefore, he remained composed, continuing to listen to Harrison’s nonsense, as if he knew nothing.

...

Not long after!

Harrison’s assistant hurriedly burst into the office!

Reported this situation to Harrison—

"What! Xina and the others were attacked by a demon?!"

Harrison first pretended to be surprised, widening his eyes and showing an incredulous expression.

But in an instant!

Harrison regained his composure and immediately ordered loudly:

"Send someone to assist right away, we must ensure Xina’s safety!"

The urgency in his voice seemed as if he truly cared about Xina’s well-being.

And Lin Lang also took the opportunity to leave Harrison’s office.

Accompanying the support troops.

...

After Lin Lang left.

Harrison returned to his usual calm, sat back in his office chair, and muttered to himself:

"Even an SS-Class demon couldn’t complete the task..."

"Could it be that Xina is hiding her strength?"

...

At this moment!

Rachel walked into Harrison’s office with hurried steps.

She stared at Harrison, her gaze full of anger and questioning:

"Why would you do this? How could you target Xina’s family?"

Faced with the questioning.

Harrison appeared exceptionally calm—

He stood up slowly, walked to the window, and with his back to Rachel, said coldly:

"It’s all Xina’s father’s fault because he refused to support me, so he must die!"

"Moreover, Xina now also lacks fighting spirit and refuses to serve me wholeheartedly..."

He paused, a cruel smile forming at the corner of his mouth:

"As long as Xina’s family dies, she’ll fall into despair and hatred!"

"Then, she will be at my disposal without hesitation!"

"All these problems will naturally dissipate..."

...

Listening to these extremely cold words from Harrison, Rachel couldn’t help but feel a chill in her heart!

But by now, saying more was useless!

The fortunate thing was that Xina and her group were all safe!

Rachel could only suppress her anger and solemnly asked:

"Now that your assassination plan has failed, what will you do next?"

Harrison slowly turned around, a confident smile on his face, as if everything was under his control:

"Rest assured..."

"I always have multiple preparations..."

The dangerous glint in his eyes sent chills down one’s spine.

...

Soon!

The news of Xina’s attack spread like a bomb throughout the Special Agent Bureau!

Initially!

Everyone thought it was just an unfortunate but lucky accident!

After all!

The appearance of a demon is unpredictable, who would’ve thought it was a premeditated conspiracy?

However!

After the elite of the Special Agent Bureau intervened in the investigation!

The truth gradually emerged—

They found fragments of a Demon-Sealing Bottle at the scene!

And discovered incomplete human fingerprints on the fragments!

After a detailed examination, like peeling layers from an onion!

The shocking truth surfaced—

This was not an accident, but a premeditated murder!

In an instant!

There was panic within the Special Agent Bureau—

Because no one knew who was bold enough to dare to assassinate someone from the Special Agent Bureau?

Although Lin Lang knew the answer in his heart, he remained uninvolved.

...

Just when everyone was clueless!

Another shocking news suddenly spread throughout the Special Agent Bureau—

The culprit was Brick!

The investigative team identified the suspect from the fingerprints on the Demon-Sealing Bottle, and it turned out to be Brick’s secretary!

After being caught, the secretary confessed everything:

He admitted that Brick instructed him to carry out this attack!

As for Brick’s motive—

It was because there was a huge conflict between him and Lin Lang, and he had been waiting for an opportunity to retaliate, thus taking it out on Xina...

Then!

The investigative team also found offerings for summoning demons at Brick’s residence!

With this, the truth was revealed!

Brick was arrested!

...

Upon his arrest!

Brick seemed like he was hit by a bolt from the blue, completely stunned on the spot!

He widened his eyes, full of disbelief:

"What! This is ridiculous!"

Thinking about his recent encounters—

His fiancée Natalia ran off with Lin Lang!

And now inexplicably, he’s become a criminal?

The anger and frustration in his heart surged like raging tides, he could only loudly proclaim his innocence:

"Innocent! Innocent!"

But!

Previously, Brick had indeed publicly declared—

To get revenge on Lin Lang!

And Xina’s close relationship with Lin Lang was well-known!

So!

This series of closely linked clues made everyone believe—

Brick was the mastermind!

...

Public opinion spread like wildfire within the Special Agent Bureau!

Brick instantly became the target of public criticism, everyone shouting for his punishment.

The situation was getting increasingly out of control.

After learning about the news, Xina was also furious, her eyes burning with the fire of anger!

With only one thought in her heart—

To kill Brick!

To seek justice for her family!

...

Lin Lang, on the other hand, continued to observe the changing situation in silence.

Even though he already knew—

All of this was a meticulously planned conspiracy by Harrison!

It was Harrison who skillfully orchestrated everything:

Brick’s secretary!

Was actually Harrison’s confidant!

...

At this moment!

The long-unseen Natalia hurriedly arrived, finding Lin Lang.

She spoke earnestly to Lin Lang:

"Although I dislike Brick and disagree with the engagement with him... but I know he’s not this kind of person, and I don’t want him to be wronged for no reason."

Lin Lang just cast her a glance, his tone indifferent, as if justice in this world had nothing to do with him:

"So what? What’s it got to do with me?"

Natalia sighed:

"Lin Lang, I know you’re not a bad person either... Could you help Brick? He’s really being wronged!"

Hearing this!

At the side, Xina also nodded solemnly:

"I also hope to find the real culprit and have them pay the price!"

Seeing this.

Lin Lang slightly raised his eyebrow, his gaze flickering between the two women, and after a moment of silence, finally nodded:

"Alright! I promise you both."

Originally, Lin Lang wanted to observe Harrison for a while longer and see what other tricks he might have!

But since his women were so eager...

He could only step in immediately.

...

Hearing Lin Lang’s agreement!

Natalia’s eyes showed a hint of gratitude, and she continued:

"Actually! I’ve already guessed who the real culprit is... it’s just that I’ve never been able to find the evidence."

She sighed helplessly, worry written all over her face.

Xina, upon hearing this, showed a bit of confusion and urgency in her eyes:

"Who is it?"

"Harrison!"

Natalia took a deep breath and said slowly:

"Although Brick is hot-tempered, he wouldn’t resort to such lowly measures..."

"And after Brick’s imprisonment, the one who stands to gain the most in the Special Agent Bureau is Harrison! He has enough motive to do this!"

"Unfortunately, I’ve never been able to find the evidence..."

Xina also looked troubled!

Upon hearing this!

Lin Lang’s lips curled into a slightly rebellious smile:

"Evidence?"

"In today’s world, do you really need evidence to kill someone?"
