Chapter 640: Greenfield Leads the Whole Show, the Scheming Star Disciple

“Great Snake of Rebirth, I will speak without reservation, hiding nothing and deceiving nothing.”

Greenfield’s voice rang out with unwavering certainty in the dim space.

But it was precisely this declaration that softened the Snake of Rebirth’s gaze toward her considerably.

Even the minor unpleasantness that had occurred earlier seemed selectively forgotten by Him.

For Greenfield to face beings above Gold like them and state her stance with such a resolute tone was no less than an oath—or a signed contract.

Because entities above Gold were themselves transcendent beings.

Even the Star Disciple’s eyelids twitched slightly upon hearing Greenfield’s sworn words.

But He made no indication.

From the moment Greenfield agreed to this transaction, it became a matter solely between her and the Snake of Rebirth.

He could only intervene when Greenfield’s life was potentially threatened.

“My followers tell me you seem to have found clues to Artus’s death. I want to know every detail...” The Snake of Rebirth’s voice slowly echoed.

“Artus...” Greenfield’s lips curled upward as she bowed slightly once more.

“As you wish, Great Snake of Rebirth!”

The next moment, Greenfield raised her left hand, and a Legendary-tier crystal ball automatically appeared in her grasp.

Her right hand swept over the crystal ball, emitting a faint glow, and then a character relationship map projected from the crystal ball into midair.

The name 【Artus】 stood at the center.

The name 【Fire-Spouting Lei】 was to the left of 【Artus】, while to the right was the name 【Blood Clan·Duke Yegu】.

Then these three names transformed into three stars, each radiating its own light.

“Great Snake of Rebirth, you also know that because Artus entered the Civilization Relic, all information related to it cannot be prophesied or spied upon. But I really wanted to earn that reward...” As she spoke, Greenfield shot another meaningful glance at the Snake of Rebirth.

Such an obvious gesture made even the Star Disciple behind her unable to watch.

The Snake of Rebirth’s single eye even trembled.

But Greenfield was already speaking again.

“While I was investigating with no results, I saw the notification that ‘Fire-Spouting Lei’ had been eliminated by The Forger. This surprised me greatly because I’m relatively familiar with The Forger.”

“As a production-type player, he almost never initiates wars. Fire-Spouting Lei had absolutely no reason to declare war on The Forger.”

“But when investigating Fire-Spouting Lei, I unexpectedly discovered that before he launched a Civilization War against The Forger, there were traces of extremely close communication with Artus.”

“I sensed something unusual about the connection between the two. After all, not long after Fire-Spouting Lei attacked The Forger, Artus entered the Civilization Relic. Now both are eliminated. I was certain this wasn’t a coincidence and immediately followed this thread deeper.”

“I found that during this period, there was actually another person who had close contact with Artus—the Blood Clan’s Duke Yegu.”

“Around the time Fire-Spouting Lei launched his Civilization War, Artus was contacting both Fire-Spouting Lei and maintaining high-frequency communication with Yegu.”

“And right after Fire-Spouting Lei started the war, Artus continued communicating with Yegu for a while before going silent. This is definitely not a coincidence.”

Greenfield stated her conclusions with absolute conviction.

“Artus was a well-known Broker at Silver Rank. Selling intelligence and completing contracts was his bread and butter. And coincidentally, Duke Yegu is a member of the Blood Clan’s Pro-War Faction—he’s been a vocal advocate for attacking the Wolf Clan of the Wild Throne.”

“The Forger, on the other hand, is a gear-crafting player for the Wild Throne. Many of the equipment he forges supplies the Wolf Clan.”

“This forced me to suspect that Fire-Spouting Lei was hired by Artus specifically to wage war against The Forger, but the real employer was actually the Blood Clan’s Duke Yegu.”

“Only then does all the logic and motive line up.”

“Additionally, I also investigated and found that before Artus entered the Civilization Relic, he had similarly high-frequency contact with Yegu.”

Greenfield swept her hand over the crystal ball again.

The image in the air changed, but this time four figures appeared.

“These four individuals are the players I discovered through prophecy who possessed Civilization Relic Invitation Letters and are still alive.”

Greenfield began her introduction: “They are Yegu, Charles, Moon Shadow’s Breath, and a Silver-tier Wolf Clan player—Shadow Wolf. Among them, the first three are all Blood Clan members.”

“And the Blood Clan member eliminated in the Civilization Relic was precisely Charles’s Descendant. Before entering the Relic, Charles also had close communication with him.”

“This coincides with the timing of Yegu’s contact with Artus. And during this period, there were also traces of communication between Yegu and Moon Shadow’s Breath.”

“I strongly suspect Yegu had some kind of deal with Artus...”

At this point, Greenfield put on an expression of sudden realization.

“Oh~ I forgot to mention earlier. Moon Shadow’s Breath is Yegu’s direct Descendant. She was also the main force that severely wounded the Wolf Clan’s elite at Bronze Rank not long ago. Because of this, Yegu valued her greatly, giving her the opportunity to advance to Silver Rank.”

In that moment, everything seemed clear and straightforward.

And the Snake of Rebirth clearly sensed that every word Greenfield spoke to Him was true—without any concealment or deception.

Now, Artus’s death, and even Fire-Spouting Lei’s death, all pointed to one person.

That was—Duke Yegu.

As for Charles... the already deceased Blood Clan member explained everything.

The Invitation Letter he used to enter the Civilization Relic was provided by Charles.

And turning back, who provided Artus’s and Moon Shadow’s Breath’s Invitation Letters?

The answer seemed obvious.

And now the situation was that Moon Shadow’s Breath was still alive, but Artus was dead.

Plus Fire-Spouting Lei’s death.

Counting it all up, the biggest beneficiary seemed to be only the Blood Clan—specifically Yegu.

A barely perceptible gleam flashed through the Snake of Rebirth’s single eye.

And just then, the Star Disciple standing behind Greenfield spoke.

He smiled at the Snake of Rebirth.

“I have another piece of intelligence here, Snake of Rebirth. Want to buy it? It’s about the last Wolf Clan player!”

“Speak!”

The Star Disciple didn’t mind the Snake of Rebirth’s attitude. After all, at this moment, the customer’s need was paramount.

He immediately said, “Just before you came, I actually accepted a commission from the Molten Demon King and made a trip to the Wolf Clan. That little one did enter the Civilization Relic, and he did witness everything that happened.”

“What!” The Snake of Rebirth stared sharply at the Star Disciple.

“Then why didn’t you say so earlier?”

The Star Disciple shrugged.

“You didn’t ask me! You were the one who came running to this little one’s world, you were the one who chose to question her. How are you blaming me now?”

Snake of Rebirth: .......

At that moment, violent emotions rapidly accumulated within the Snake of Rebirth’s heart.

He felt an overwhelmingly strong urge—to fight the Star Disciple to the bitter end, to have it out.

Infuriating.

Even Greenfield’s gaze toward the Star Disciple turned strange.

Right then, she somehow saw—as if by some ghostly coincidence—the shadow of ‘Yu Yuan’ in the Star Disciple’s person.

Equally scheming, equally shameless.

“Is this the professional quality of the powerful?”

After a long while, the fluctuating aura around the Snake of Rebirth slowly dissipated. He stared at the Star Disciple, speaking word by word:

“Now tell me the truth...”
