Chapter 523 The Executioner's Identity
Originally, the target of the Black Executioner's attempt to stop the executioner was Jiang Han, but after the challenge against the US National Pavilion, Jiang Han went to discuss the philosophy of life with Mu Nujiao. Meanwhile, Mo Fan, who went to the night market with Zhao Manyan, was the one targeted by the executioner.
Little Flame Princess has now reached the Commander level under Mo Fan's careful training. Although she has only recently broken through, she is still a Commander-level elemental being. After possessing someone, her combat power will increase several times over compared to a Warrior-level being. Therefore, Jiang Han has no need to go to rescue her. Moreover, the temple mages in New York City are not to be trifled with. They will soon be able to sense the aftershocks of the battle and come to Mo Fan's aid.
······
Not long after, Mo Fan returned, though he looked rather disheveled.
He was accompanied by a mage from the Purple Wind Temple, mainly to prevent Mo Fan from being attacked again on his way back.
If something were to happen to their Chinese Nationalist Party allies in New York, the entire Temple of Liberty would become a laughingstock internationally. Therefore, the Temple of Liberty's leadership was furious upon learning that the black man had stopped the street attack and ordered a thorough investigation of the entire city to find the executioner and uphold justice!
Several days passed, and the temple mages still found nothing, unable to find even the slightest clue about the executioner. In the end, Mo Fan obtained the executioner's identity information from a girl involved in the case: Pei Li, a former ice mage from the Temple of Freedom.
In the Black Gold Conference Hall of the Temple of Liberty, ten Black Gold Temple mages sat around the conference table, while Mo Fan, Jiang Han, Aoluna, and the Purple Wind mage who rescued Mo Fan were on the periphery.
"This is the information we've gathered about the executioners," Jiang Han said.
Mo Fan then took out a USB drive from his pocket and handed it to the temple mage next to him, who then projected it onto the projector in the center of the conference room.
When the ten Black Gold Temple mages in the main seats saw the executioner's portrait, their expressions became somewhat meaningful. The one who reacted most strongly even slammed his fist on the table and said, "Nonsense! What evidence do you have to prove that he is the executioner?"
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, we've already given you the results of our investigation. If you can't give us a satisfactory answer, our mentor will file a complaint with the Magic Association," Jiang Han said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the enraged temple mage captain Rude's face immediately turned ugly. Then, the Purple Wind Temple mage who had rescued Mo Fan stepped forward and confirmed that the executioner was indeed Pei Li.
"Hmph, if it's him, then we can't let him get away with this no matter what. Not only did he not repent after being expelled from the temple, but he also sided with Black Call Stop. This guy is truly a disgrace to our Temple of Freedom!" Rud said angrily.
"The problem is how we find him. Pei Li has always been good at carrying out missions in plainclothes, and he can also interfere with people's vision through mind magic. He is also extremely good at controlling other people's thoughts. It may be difficult to find Pei Li in such a large city as New York City," said the mage of the Purple Wind Temple.
Jiang Han and Mo Fan were still waiting for the outcome. Rude could only stand up and make a statement, ordering all his men to search for Pei Li. If he was caught, he would be sent to the cross with torches as punishment to shut up Jiang Han and his group of young people.
It might be a bit frustrating, but if this matter were to be reported to the Magic Association, who knows how those guys there would try to take a bite out of their Temple of Freedom.
······
While the temple mages were searching for Pei Li, this guy actually used the girl who gave Mo Fan the information to lure Mo Fan out. But who knew that Mo Fan would call for help instead of showing any martial ethics.
"Mo Fan, although you broke your promise, I don't blame you. On the contrary, I'm grateful that you brought Jiang Han here," Pei Li said with a smile after noticing Jiang Han.
"Oh, so you mean I'm your target? Then why did you go to all the trouble of killing him before?" Jiang Han asked, puzzled.
"Naturally, it's because he's also my target, just behind you. Since I can't find you, killing him would be a way to give that lord an explanation. Unfortunately, I underestimated his strength," Pei Li said with a hint of regret.
When Jiang Han was talking to Pei Li, he naturally noticed the hideous scar on the back of Pei Li's hand. Although the scar was somewhat hideous, it was not difficult to see that it was used to cover up the temple mark of the temple mage.
"I'm curious, how did you go from a temple mage to what you are now?" Just then, the girl who provided Mo Fan with the information suddenly asked.
