The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse-Chapter 428 - 356, Quick Smell

Chapter 428: Chapter 356, Quick Smell

The other party’s eyebrows furrowed instantly, eyes alert, “Mr. Kalemah, what do you mean?”

“If only you know about this matter, then you can leave the island as soon as possible. I am leaving now, and Imilo will immediately suspect me,” Kalemah sat down opposite.

“Oh, rest assured on that point, only I know about our affair. I’ve already arranged for a ship to leave the port and will be departing soon!” the captain spoke directly.

Kalemah nodded, “In that case, I’m relieved.”

“Of course, I am a businessman, the most…”

Before he could finish, a streak of silver-white lightning violently struck.

...

It hit him squarely in the chest, sending a swath of furniture behind him toppling.

The captain’s chest was scorched, the lingering effect of the lightning causing his body to still twitch.

Next, a second arrow of flame instantly pierced his brow, leaving a charred hole.

Trickles of fresh blood slowly oozed out.

Kalemah stepped forward, searched the body, and took the Space Ring off it.

“Blame your careless workmanship for this; if you didn’t die, you would have implicated me sooner or later.”

He took out a straw mat, wrapped the body in it, and then stored it in the Space Ring.

Casually tidied up the private room.

Picked up the soundproofing device from the ground, and left without further ado.

Leaving the tavern, he boarded a carriage and slowly departed.

…

At his residence, in the study.

Wu Heng sat at his desk, reading a novel.

Before long, Glenda phased back through the wall from outside.

She said, “Just as you thought, not long after you left the association, Kalemah took a carriage and left, heading to the last tavern. When he left, I took a look inside the private room; there was no one there, seems like he killed someone, and carried the body away.”

“How can you be sure it was him who killed someone?”

“The room clearly had evidence of someone else having a meal, and unless the person could become invisible to escape, they were killed by him. If I were Kalemah, to kill without leaving evidence would be the best outcome,” Glenda said analytically.

Wu Heng nodded, “Let me see!”

Glenda reentered his body.

This time, Glenda’s tracking kept an even greater distance.

She hovered high above, remotely watching the carriage’s movements.

Then, after Kalemah left the tavern, she became invisible and entered the private room to investigate.

Inside the private room, there were indeed traces of another person.

But after Kalemah’s departure, it was empty.

Wu Heng sat in his chair, organizing the entire affair in his mind.

He said, “That means, Kalemah believes I will interrogate the dead and killed the person who knew about his involvement beforehand, so when the person can’t be found later, there’s no way to connect the incident to him.”

Glenda nodded, “Smart.”

“Kalemah is quite decisive, indeed,” said Wu Heng.

Meaning that even if someone exposes his murder in the tavern, it’d still be a lesser crime than colluding with outsiders to frame the Vice-executive of the association.

“What do you plan to do next?” Glenda continued.

“If our speculation is correct and the person behind this has already been killed by Kalemah, even if I carry out Wenshi, the person is already dead, and can’t testify. This won’t lead back to Kalemah,” Wu Heng tapped the back of his chair as he spoke.

“Hmm!”

“Tomorrow, I’ll go to the association to see, and then decide the next step based on the situation.”

“You should take a lesson from this incident, not all in the association are good, even if the association was founded with good intentions, everyone has their own interests,” Glenda reminded.

Wu Heng smiled and replied, “When I first joined the association, the Steward at the time taught me a lesson.”

“Alright then!” Glenda floated aside, glanced at the books on the desk with a bit of reproach, “Next time you read, could you not just toss my bookmark anywhere? I have to start looking all over again.”

“Page 64, I’ve got it memorized for you.”

Glenda’s finger flicked, turning the pages to 64, she hummed lightly and resumed her reading.

Wu Heng, meanwhile, continued to ponder at the side.

Now it seems, even Wenshi makes it difficult to escape the fact that he has killed.

“Master, it’s time to eat downstairs,”

At that moment, Mini’s voice called from downstairs.

Wu Heng stood up and walked down to the lower floor.

…

In the living room on the first floor, the sound of women chatting could be heard.

Just as he stepped down to the first floor, Mini came running over, tittering, with a piece of off-white fabric in hand, bringing it to his nose, “Master, have a smell!”

Wu Heng smelled it instinctively, sensing a faint warm fragrance.

“What is it?”

“Nothing, it’s Sister Sha Naila’s, doesn’t it smell nice?” Mini said.

“Mini!” Shanaela was sitting in the living room, hearing this remark, turned her head to glance over.

Seeing what was in the other’s hand, she shouted and dashed over in a blush of embarrassment.

Mini laughed heartily, clutching the piece of fabric in her hand and running all over the living room.

In midair, a white-feathered little owl also circled overhead, chirping along.

Wu Heng walked into the living room, looked at Andre Willow, and asked, “What’s going on!”

Andre Willow replied, “Sister Shanaela came for a visit. Mini gave her two bras that you brought from home, and that one was the bra Sister Shanaela had just taken off.”

“Ah! That’s what I thought!”

Wu Heng was stunned, then took another look at the item in Mini’s hands.

It really was a bra, and not a small size at that.

Mini really was particular, keeping the good stuff for herself.

The two played around for a bit, and then the dinner was served.

Shanaela snatched back the bra and tucked it into her Space Ring.

A few people sat down at the dining table and began to eat.

Shanaela looked up at him and said, “I heard from Mini and Wei’er that you ran into danger today. Are you hurt!”

“No, I just lost a skeleton attendant.”

“Who was the enemy, do you need my help?” Shanaela offered bluntly.

Shanaela might not show much advantage in direct combat in terms of physical strength.

But as the leader of her own trade guild, there were many ways she could operate to deal with certain people.

Wu Heng said directly, “No need; after the enemy fled, I told the Steward, and he took care of it by killing the person.”

“With Imilo in action, that person definitely wouldn’t survive.”

Wu Heng grew interested and asked, “Is the Steward that powerful?”

“You must have heard that pirates dare not land on the island, and few even venture close to its surroundings.”

“I have; they say it’s because Steward Imilo is in charge of Gold and Silver Island!”

Shanaela considered her words, then continued, “The guild will never trust a former pirate to be Island Master of a key maritime trade hub, so they placed Imilo here.”

Wu Heng raised an eyebrow, “Is the Steward stationed here also as a deterrent to the Island Master?”

“Yes, you could say that.”

“How high level is he?” Wu Heng inquired.

“I’m not sure about that, but Imilo has been renowned for a long time.”

Wu Heng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he pondered the news he had heard.

It seemed to all make sense.

Imilo wasn’t just on Gold and Silver Island to deter pirates, but also the pardoned Island Master.

After dinner, they chatted together in the living room for a while.

As the sky gradually darkened,

Shanaela went home, and Wu Heng, along with two women, also returned to his room to rest.

…

The next day, at the guild.

Wu Heng continued to instruct the two women not to go out, then hopped the wall to ‘Sha Naila’s’ place before he himself left his residence and headed to the guild.

First, he went to his own office to check the records of the Skeleton Investigator.

After finding no useful information, he walked back out.

In the corridor, he saw ‘Xi Ligui’ decked out in armor, about to head out.

Seeing him, she frowned and said directly, “Come with me for a moment.”

Wu Heng followed her aside, “What’s up?”

“You killed Kerim?” Xi Ligui eyed him with wide eyes, looking inquisitive.

Wu Heng responded, “The Steward did. I used a Special Item to lead him there.”

“No, Moya said that you severely wounded ‘Kerim’ yourself,” Xi Ligui continued questioning.

Kerim had landed on the island.

While she had warned Wu Heng, she also harbored some worries herself.

If she were to face ‘Kerim’, it would be tough for her to be his match.

And now, to think he had been severely injured by Wu Heng and ultimately killed by the Steward.

“I set up an ambush; many people attacked him at once. He was indeed formidable, but not very clever,” explained Wu Heng.

Xi Ligui frowned and glanced at him, “For real?”

“For real!”

“So where are you off to now?”

“I’m going to split the spoils from yesterday’s kill.”

“You…” Xi Ligui started, then waved her hand in dismissal, “All right, go on then. I’m taking people to find your murderer.”

“Thanks, I’ll definitely repay you some day.”

Xi Ligui rolled her eyes at him and continued toward the outside.

Wu Heng also headed to the Steward’s Office.
