"..."
Chen Mang glanced at the middle-aged man in front of him and casually said, "I heard your leader is a goblin. Is the rumor true?"
The middle-aged manâs lips moved for a moment before he finally uttered two words: "Itâs true."
"Youâve already called for help, right? Then letâs wait a bit longer."
He still had a strong fondness for goblins.
In his mind, goblins were purely an agricultural people who just wanted to develop themselves peacefully. They probably wouldnât kill the CEO of a "tourism company" for no reason, as it seemed unlikely there was any intersection of interests between the two sides.
If possible.
He hoped there was some misunderstanding here.
He didnât really want to kill goblins.
Even if this goblin and Dobamondo werenât the same kind of people.
Fifteen minutes later.
A huge train came flying from afar and shot over Chen Mang and the others, hovering at a height of three meters above the ground. The carriage door opened, and a goblin jumped to the ground surrounded by many subordinates.
"Nice skills." Chen Mang slightly praised.
"Do you need something?"
This goblin, followed by several burly men, walked straight up to Chen Mang and looked him over for a few moments before saying, "Stopping my men but not attacking, is there something you need from me?"
Once their leader arrived, the man who had stepped down from the SUV immediately felt reassured, quickly retreating behind his boss and letting out a long sigh of relief.
The situation reversed.
"..."
Chen Mang stood on the spot, thoughtfully gazing at the group ahead of him. Only the leader was a goblin; the followers were all humans, each robust and genuinely devoted to the goblin.
The human race is inherently extremely proud.
Generally speaking, even humans who can submit to powerful individuals rarely willingly submit to an alien race.
He said nothing.
With a slight movement of his index finger, the Fixed Star similarly hovered over everyone at immense speed, blocking nearly all the sunlight and casting shadows on the ground.
Immediately after.
Someone suddenly jumped down from the goblinâs train, bent over, and whispered a few words into the goblinâs ear.
The goblinâs expression subtly changed as he looked up at Chen Mang: "Level 115 Train Armor?"
"A person of your caliber, going to such lengths to find me?"
"I promised a friend, so naturally, I must fulfill it."
Chen Mang smiled amiably, looking down at the goblin. He didnât choose to hide the level of the train accessories, knowing that as long as the other party had the means to detect the accessories, they could naturally discover it. Before communicating, he needed to showcase some degree of strength to facilitate more effective interactions.
He wasnât worried about leakage.
Today, this group of people certainly wouldnât be able to leave, regardless of whether the Philia Group committed the murder or not; they wouldnât be able to leave.
"I have a friend whoâs the daughter of the CEO of âJimei Tourism Company.â Her father was killed by your people. I promised to avenge her."
"You now have three sentences to explain why it wasnât your people who committed the murder."
"If you canât explain it in three sentences."
"Youâll all die here."
The goblinâs expression slightly changed as he nodded and said word for word, "I know this person, but we didnât kill him!"
"Thatâs the first sentence."
"We really didnât kill him, but I canât say who did."
"Thatâs the second sentence."
The goblin didnât speak further, but his expression fluctuated as he looked up at the Fixed Star train overhead, and the nearby Chen Mang, contemplating for several breaths before speaking hoarsely again.
"The person was killed by Zhang Qidi, the Kasha Civilization whistleblower Zhang Qidi. Zhang Qidi coveted his daughterâs beauty and kept pressuring him to send over his daughter, or he would cut off his financial sources. He offered me a large sum to help him because I had saved his life once and was considered the most capable person he knew. I didnât agree to it; I couldnât handle it. Before he finally got into trouble, he told me he was taking a large sum alone to negotiate with Zhang Qidi, and after that, he died."
He spoke a lengthy portion in one breath.
Didnât even pause.
After speaking, he took a deep breath: "Thatâs my third sentence. Iâve explained it clearly."
"I can see your lung capacity seems bad."
"Iâm just this small; do you think my lungs can be large?"
"Weâd have to dig them out to find out."
"Forget it then."
"Since things are as you say, why does his daughter think you killed him?"
"..."
The goblin was silent for a moment before speaking: "After I learned about the incident, I went to see Zhang Qidi once, brought his corpse back, and handed it over to his subordinates. I told them that I killed him."
"Didnât dare tell them Zhang Qidi did it."
"Zhang Qidi is from a Third-level Civilization and a person of influence. I didnât dare provoke him. I also spent a lot along with a bit of face to bring the corpse back."
"I was worried that if they learned Zhang Qidi was the killer, theyâd take some extreme actions, angering Zhang Qidi, which would lead to his daughter and her group all dying, even transferring anger to me, so I took the blame."
"I really didnât know his daughter had such a powerful friend like you."
"Iâm not afraid of you."
"But this matter truly wasnât done by me; I canât take the fall for it."
"Donât believe it."
Chen Mang lightly shook his head and said softly, "Zhang Qidi is a Kasha Civilization officer and the girlâs father is merely a small Level 1 Civilization boss. If he truly wanted the woman, would he need to apply pressure? He could simply take her by force; who would dare to stop him?"
"Or in the span of a sentence, the civilization leaders would have to capture and offer the woman without hesitation."
