Lin Yu had to admit that with six Third Tier experts as accomplices, plus Radish himself participating as the "victim," even if there were still aspects of the entire deception that felt "off," it was incredibly difficult to find any flaws.

But unfortunately, as the officially certified Fraudster of the Death Game, Lin Yu was quite sharp when it came to scams.

Their lies and cover-ups all made Lin Yu smell something fishy.

Following that scent of suspicion, even the most elusive answers would naturally surface.

If Radish's death was considered murder, it was indeed too clean.

To thoroughly deceive the multi-layered investigations and various detection items of Order, to fool Li Hua the Gambler, and to do it so flawlessly without leaving a single trace was almost impossible.

Therefore, based on this point, Lin Yu couldn't help but ponder...

What if it wasn't "murder"?

Rather than the culprit being so meticulous that Order found no traces or flaws at all...

The possibility that Order's overall direction of investigation was wrong seemed even greater.

After all, putting himself in their shoes, Lin Yu felt that in terms of difficulty between the two scenarios, the latter was definitely easier.

Moreover, following this line of thought, he found decisive testimony in his conversation with Chris.

Chris had indeed cast a spell on Radish—but its purpose wasn't to harm him.

It was to save him.

Looking at the five "accomplices," Lin Yu smiled.

"I know you all might still not want to admit it, but all the previous investigations conducted by Order were based on the assumption that Radish Grandpa was 'murdered,'" Lin Yu said calmly. "But what if we re-investigate from a different angle... to see what abilities and items were used to treat and save him?"

The room fell into silence.

Only Chris spoke up again after a long silence. "Even so..."

Phoenix let out a long sigh, interrupting Chris.

"Forget it, Chris, just forget it."

"Admit it, we've been seen through."

Chris pursed his lips and finally shook his head. "Alright, alright, if you've surrendered, what can I do?"

Paper Kite also sighed. "Couldn't you all respect this old man's final wish..."

"If his final wish was to pass away peacefully, of course there'd be no problem. But who could have guessed this grandpa would choose such a troublesome method," Lin Yu rubbed his temples. "Also, Paper Kite, you're also a member of Order, even my senior... why would you help Radish carry out this plan that obviously creates chaos?"

Paper Kite sighed again. "Based on my personal judgment, I was convinced by him... I believe his plan is actually beneficial to the player community and the current situation."

"And as you said, I do miss the old Player Mutual Aid Association."

Lin Yu looked at Paper Kite and asked, "Then... when were you convinced?"

Paper Kite looked at the remaining four.

Hundred-Tempered Steel spoke in a low voice, "Then let me explain."

"The time was three months ago."

"Three months ago, Radish secretly contacted us and extended an invitation."

With Hundred-Tempered Steel's words, the "beginning" of everything unfolded before everyone.

Three months ago, they each received an invitation from "Radish" in various forms.

This leader of the Player Mutual Aid Association, the highest-tier player with the best reputation, informed them of one thing—he had decided to attempt the breakthrough to Fourth Tier.

This was an extremely high-risk endeavor with a high chance of death. For players who had reached Third Tier, they could handle various situations in ordinary dungeons relatively well, though there were still risks...

But it was nowhere near as risky as attempting the Fourth Tier breakthrough.

Especially when not fully prepared.

But Radish's mind was made up—and knowing he had a significant probability of failure, what he sought from these five people was naturally to settle his affairs.

"What worries me most is that item... the Super Genetically Modified Radish created by that demon twisting my wish. I hope you can help me find a suitable person to deal with it properly."

"Secondly, I'm still very sorry about what happened back then. After my death, the Player Mutual Aid Association will inevitably deteriorate again, so I've saved a sum of money. I hope you can continue compensating the families left behind by those friends who died with me in that dungeon on my behalf... in the form of a fund and public welfare is fine. I have this information stored on my phone."

"Also, I have a son and a daughter. I've left them some money, so no need to worry about that. Instead, I'll trouble you all to donate any excess assets during the estate settlement... My daughter married well, and my son is lazy and gluttonous by nature. Extra money won't be of much use to them either."

These three arrangements and last wishes obviously wouldn't lead them to create a deception.

Therefore, what truly gave them this need was the final point. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Finally, the most important point. The reason I sought out you five specifically is because I carefully selected you."

"After I 'fail,' I will try my utmost to return with my last breath. At that time, I ask you all to help keep me hanging on..."

"Chris's Pure Abyss secret technique, plus Bright King's Revitalization and Hundred-Tempered Steel's All Things Remolding should be able to achieve this."

"And, though somewhat presumptuous, I hope you can disguise my 'death' as 'murder'—because as I mentioned earlier, after my death, the further deterioration of the Player Mutual Aid Association is almost inevitable."

"This will require Paper Kite and Phoenix's help... I consulted the 'Consultant,' and he gave me a very feasible plan, though it will trouble you two."

"I know those ambitious young people have joined and taken the lead, and I know those organizations... especially those that were expelled, are using my place as a stepping stone."

"I don't want it to become a tool that harms people... that goes against my original intention in creating it."

"So, my death absolutely cannot be gentle or natural. I cannot die during a dungeon or while failing an advancement attempt."

"If I truly fail... then don't let my death go to waste. Make my death conspicuous, make them mistakenly think it was done by each other... so they won't continue to cannibalize this organization."

"Perhaps the Player Mutual Aid Association will be destroyed because of this, but destruction... is still better than it becoming a tool that kills more players."

"As for payment... I can't give you much, only the entire process of my Fourth Tier breakthrough attempt. I will record it and invite you to observe at the critical moment."

"I hope that even if I fail, you can gain experience from it—just like the old Player Mutual Aid Association."

"If possible... I hope that because of my death, after fierce turmoil and transformation... it can eventually return to its original state once more."
