Chapter 149: Thirty-six, it’s not Helmo!
It’s your…
The next day, the Lyra citizens who took the gear train to work all saw a scene that shocked them immensely.
One third of the Fourth District’s subsidiary tower, which had been constructed alongside the Sky Tower and had stood in Lyra for hundreds of years, was destroyed, and the top part was completely in a mess, still emitting billowing smoke even now.
“I heard that the Fourth District’s subsidiary tower had an accident last night.”
“Yes, it seems there was an explosion, the entire top level was damaged, and the fire was not completely out this morning.”
“So, what could this be about?”
“I don’t know, it’s never happened in Lyra before.”
Unease spread among the people on the gear train and soon would spread throughout all of Lyra.
By the end of the morning, all the Lyra people would know about the Fourth District tower incident.
Such a major accident compelled the highest commander of the Skeleton Corps, Fenli, to rush to the scene as well.
He looked at the three charred corpses that his subordinates had just carried out from the fire scene and furrowed his brows tightly.
Then he saw Chamos standing dazedly in front of one of the bodies, and he called out in a low voice, “Chamos, what are you looking at?”
Chamos finally snapped out of it and hurried to Fenli’s side, barely managing to salute.
“Have you clarified the identity of the dead?” Fenli asked.
Chamos pressed his lips tightly together, seemingly very reluctant to accept the fact.
After a psychological struggle, he finally said in a low voice, “It’s Captain Kude.”
When he heard the name, Fenli’s expression changed slightly, “Kude?
Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”
“No…
even though I wish I was,” Chamos said, “but that is Captain Kude…
I can confirm it.”
Fenli nodded and then asked, “And the other two?”
“One is the new Fourth District affairs secretary, Zamon, and the other is still unknown.” Chamos lifted his head to look at Fenli, a hint of pleading in his eyes, “Minister, do you know who did this?”
Fenli fell silent for a moment, and then said softly, “This is the third affairs secretary to die in three days; who do you think killed the previous two?”
After a moment of stupor, Chamos’s eyes immediately flashed with rage, “Are you saying Gerard?!
So Captain Kude too…”
“There is no conclusive evidence yet,” Fenli said indifferently, “but last night, I did ask Kude to escort Gerard back.”
After dropping this remark, Fenli turned and walked away, not looking back at Chamos, but he could still hear Chamos muttering,
“No need for evidence anymore…
no need for evidence anymore…”
Fenli’s body paused for a moment, but he said nothing and went straight into an office in the tower that had been unaffected by the incident.
Upon opening the door, Fenli saw the young man standing with his back to him by the window.
“You all have gone too far,” Fenli glanced outside to ensure no one was paying attention before closing the door, “Is the third victim Bishop Hallman?”
“Who else could it be?” Yong Xin didn’t turn around, answering indifferently, “If it were Gerard, that would have been quite convenient.”
“This is too much,” Fenli clenched his fists and took a few steps towards Yong Xin, seemingly wanting to punch him, “To even lay hands on Lord Bishop!”
“You’re mistaken about two things, Minister Fenli,” Yong Xin said, “First, it wasn’t me who killed Bishop Hallman, it was Gerard, and second…”
He suddenly turned around, startling Fenli.
Because half of Yong Xin’s body was in a state of severe burns, judging by the extent of the burns, it rivalled the condition of those three corpses outside.
With such severe injuries, he was still alive?
Fenli was horrified and involuntarily stopped in his tracks.
“Second, Minister Fenli, have you forgotten that you are now also a member of the New Chaser Association?” Yong Xin said with a light laugh, “You are now on the same path as us, so why question our actions?
In fact, we nearly succeeded last night.
If it hadn’t been for that little accident, the entire reform of Lyra would have been completed today, and you, would become the new Bishop.”
Fenli clenched his fists tightly; he forced himself to stare at Yong Xin’s horrendous face and then said deliberately, “You know full well that I don’t care about this at all.”
“Mhm, mhm, I know, of course,” Yong Xin said with a smile, “The moment our Lord ascends to his position, your daughter will naturally be healed.
If you don’t believe me, just look at me.
Despite such serious injuries, I am still perfectly alive, am I not?
And…
it will heal very soon.”
As if to prove his own words, Fenli saw Yong Xin’s burned area indeed recovering to normal skin at a visible rate.

This miraculous power caused Fenli to stop questioning; after a silence, he asked in a low voice, “So what do you plan to do now?
The death of Bishop Hallman is not a trivial matter; do you still intend to keep this news secret?”
“Why should we hide it?” Yong Xin said with a light chuckle, “Why not just announce it to the outside world?
We even have a ready-made killer.”
“Are you saying pin it on Gerard?” Fenli said, “But there’s no evidence…”
“No, evidence is no longer necessary, Minister Fenli.
Starting from today, we will no longer need those rigid rules,” Yong Xin pointed at Fenli, “When you go back, you will find out that your words, are the evidence.”
