GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

It will be very abnormal for the Golden Hammer gang to kill their patron noble just after acquiring a great victory and being in the middle of celebrating and expanding.

Even if the Golden Hammer gang would kill the noble supporting them, they shouldn’t be stupid enough to kill her right in their territory. They should kill her somewhere else where they wouldn’t be implicated.

Of course this was just the one-sided analysis of the mage in the pathway of knowledge. They still had to confirm the validity of this opinion through the proper investigation and with the other investigators.

The telepath interviewed everyone in the gang while using rank 3 Hypnotize to determine the truth of their words. After two days of interviews, they found nothing in the minds of the gang members to link to the murder.

The fateweaver also performed his investigations. He used Rank 1 Predict to see if he could find the identity of the murderer and other related parties.

Unfortunately, the fate weaver found nothing. The only thing that he could confirm was that Celine was truly dead and the corpse wasn’t fake.

It was the mage who discovered the most about Celine’s death. He used the rank 2 divine ability of the pathway of knowledge called Deduce to analyze the scene of the crime and recreate how she died.

The mage discovered more about Celine’s murder than the mystical fate weaver even though he was weaker because his ability works on logical reasoning, not spiritual connections.

An Aegis Shield can block the effect of a divine ability that requires spiritual connection because the divine ability wants to affect the target being protected by the Aegis Shield.

But an Aegis Shield can’t block the effect of an ability like Deduce because its effect is limited to the user of the divine ability. This is why the mage appeared to be more useful for the investigation.

It was also the mage who suggested that they shift the focus of the investigation from the Golden Hammer gang and even provided more plausible suspects for the crime.

His reason was that since Celine had just won a great victory in the game, the suspects for her death should be the other participants of the game who will gain the most from her death.

In particular, the two nobles who were offended by Celine’s ploy should be watched closely. These two nobles are the supporters of the Bright Gold gang and the Cold Blade gang.

Everyone agreed with this suggestion not only because the Golden Hammer gang had been cleared of suspicion, but also because what Celine did was truly horrendous and could lead to her being killed.

Celine had broken the rules of the game, which led to the death of two epic beings. Usually, gang leaders don’t die when gangs fight. At most they give up and leave the game. After all, the competition is nothing personal.

But Celine broke that rule and many other rules. It is not surprising that someone got very angry and decided to eliminate her. So it was right to suspect the two nobles whose prestige had been stepped on by Celine with her ploy.

However, the two nobles denied their involvement in the matter. Even though the two of them were Celine’s brothers, no one believed that they didn’t have anything to do with her death.

While the investigation was going on, many nobles began to approach the Golden Hammer gang in order to recruit them. As a gang with three territories, they were very valuable to the nobles.

The nobles came with tempting offers, but Legion rejected them all. At the end of the day, Legion chose the poorest noble.

Actually, Legion wanted to stay away from every noble and was prepared to employ delaying tactics. But then they saw a noble who wasn’t rich enough to have a mental shield.

The noble was the perfect prey for them. Without a mental shield to protect his mind, they would be able to enslave him without much struggle. So they decided to allow him to become the supporter of the gang.

But they didn’t enslave the noble immediately. They wanted to wait until the investigation was over before they made a move on the noble.

They were being cautious because they thought that it would be pushing their luck to try and enslave a noble when there are so many powerful people looking around for them. So they decided to wait a while.

While they were waiting, they discovered another function of the virtual flesh and were putting it to good use. They discovered that they could store energy water in the Mindscape until they needed it for a transaction or retrieve it from the Mindscape if they didn’t want to use it for a transaction.

So they began storing all of the energy water in their possession. It was a lot of work that took a lot of their time, so they didn’t mind waiting for a while to get a noble slave.

They had brought 17,435 liters of energy water to Reinfield City. Since then, they have used 120 liters to buy the rank 4 divine flesh of the pathway of the telepath and 150 liters to buy the rank 4 divine flesh of the pathway of slavery.

They also spent 800 liters to enhance their spiritual power from 80 units to 160 units. After that they spent an extra 400 liters to train their divine abilities.

These are just their personal expenses. These personal expenses reach a total of 1,470 liters of energy water.

They also spent a lot of money to help their slaves acquire the rank 4 divine flesh that they needed. In total, they had acquired 15 rank 4 divine flesh, which amounted to 24,000 gold coins or 2,400 liters of energy water.

So since they came to Reinfield City, they have spent 3,870 liters of energy water. However, their reserve of energy water hasn’t reduced at all. In fact, they have only gained more energy water.
