Chapter 3287 A Smarter Monkey
When everyone arrived at the scene, they were shocked by the sight that greeted them.
Staring at more than ten corpses in front of them, everyone was filled with disbelief.
There’s nothing else here except for the bodies! Are they really the remaining Bonemasters?
Luckily, the corpses had yet to rot away entirely.
Indeed, Gloria had found the Bonemaster’s location earlier.
When she first saw them, she too was taken aback to see all of them dead.
In spite of that, she still lead Levi and the others to the location.
“Identify the bodies!”
Levi’s subordinates did as they were told.
After a painstaking process, they finally confirmed that the bodies belonged to the remaining Bonemasters they were searching for.
As a result, everyone was stunned to learn of the Bonemasters’ deaths.
Boom!
The revelation came as bad news to Levi.
The fact that they were all dead clearly indicated that they were the Bonemasters responsible for extracting the spiritual bones from Azure Dragon and his comrades.
Evidently, the mastermind killed them in an attempt to destroy all evidence.
In other words, everything Levi and his subordinates did, including painstakingly compiling the list of Bonemasters, had been in vain.
Previously, the possibility of such a scenario had crossed Levi’s mind. He, too, would have destroyed all traces of evidence, including killing the Bonemasters, if he were the mastermind.
That way, no one would be able to trace the matter back to him.
Nonetheless, there was also the possibility that the enemy was so strong that he feared no one at all.
However, the possibility of such a situation was low. If the enemy was truly powerful, they wouldn’t have needed to be so secretive.
On top of that, Sonja and the others from the Ecclesiastic Order had told Levi of the Bonemasters’ special status within the order.
Even though they were treated with scorn, killing them would just reduce their numbers.
After all, there were only so many of them in the first place.
From that perspective, the Bonemasters were of particular importance and highly regarded by many.
When no one had any use for them, they were no better than stray dogs.
However, when they were needed, they became more precious than one could ever imagine.
Therefore, the Ecclesiastic Order had one unspoken rule—Bonemasters should never be killed.
If one were to kill them, none of them would be willing to come forward and offer their skills anymore.
In fact, Sonja and the others had never heard of any Bonemaster being assassinated ever before.
Therefore, everyone was caught by surprise to see more than ten of them being massacred.
Meanwhile, Levi turned his attention toward Sonja and her companions, expecting an explanation from them.
In spite of that, the latter was shaken by the fact that more than ten Bonemasters were slaughtered.
This can’t be happening! Is there no regard for the consequences? What’s going on?
Boom!
However, everything seemed to make sense once Sonja and the others thought of who the culprit could be.
That group consisted of lunatics. They were ruthless in their methods and capable of anything.
Nonetheless, there were still questions about their involvement.
Based on their fearless demeanor, they would never kill the Bonemasters on purpose.
In fact, they would already be gloating over the fact that they had obtained the elemental spiritual bones.
That was how they always behaved.
However, why are they so afraid this time? Is it because they are scared of Levi? But that’s impossible, for they fear nothing. Given that the Ecclesiastic Order sees him as no more than a “smarter monkey,” that group would naturally be unfazed by Levi. Therefore, it’s unlikely that they would act in such a secretive manner. In that case, is there someone else behind the transplant of the spiritual bone? Or is there some other explanation for it? No matter what, there’s definitely something fishy going on behind the scenes.
Sonja and the others speculated in their minds.
Nevertheless, they were adamant in not revealing to Levi who it was.
After all, that faction was aware of how close they were to Levi, and if they found out that it was Sonja who gave them up, her fate would then be sealed.
