The man in black cast a glance at him, gave a knowing smile, and said, “Old Bible, seems like you’re holding onto a lot of intelligence reports. Tsk tsk, still playing your own games. Don’t put too much trust in so-called friends. Do you remember that accident…”

“Shut up!”

Reuel Bible seemed to recall some unpleasant memory upon hearing his words.

A flash of wisdom in his eyes indicated that he had guessed something: the opponent had known about the insider all along!

He had been tracking and investigating the Silver Moon Sect all this while.

Leonard Churchill’s undercover identity was arranged by him himself.

Without accurate intelligence, the upper echelons of the X Bureau would never have made such a gamble.

The only possibility was that his information had been leaked!

And it had to have been leaked by someone close to him!

As the words left his mouth, Reuel Bible immediately realized something. The veins on his forehead throbbed, his muscles bulged, but he could not break free.

He suppressed his rage, saying, “That man is my friend!

“Friend? A most-wanted felon of the Federation?”

The man in black sneered.

Knowing that he couldn’t hide his motive, he didn’t even bother to try, coldly stating, “Involving himself with members of the Old Days Sect, his faith has probably already been tainted. It’s the higher-ups’ opinion to deal with them all at once. In addition, the Miller Family needs an explanation for the assassination of the governor of Sinless City.”

Upon hearing these words, Reuel Bible’s face went grim.

The man in black had already put on his gear, checked the time, and clearly had no intention of lingering. “Old Bible, it’s time to take action. I won’t detain you. The ban will be lifted in an hour. I’ll apologize when the time comes.”

With that, he left the room without another glance back.

In the cabin, only Reuel Bible remained.

Head lowered, his prominent brow bone cast a shadow over his face in the lamplight, making him look all the more sinister.

He was like a powerful tiger bound by shackles, only capable of letting out a low growl from his throat.

But there was nothing he could do.

Not long after, the door opened and a short-haired woman in a tight leather jacket walked in.

Reuel Bible glanced at the newcomer, his eyes complex, he stayed silent.

After a while, Ada finally couldn’t help but speak, guilt evident on her face,

“Captain, I’m sorry.”

Reuel Bible remained silent.

He had guessed it earlier. The one who reported the intelligence to the top was

his own assistant.

Though he was the one who had arranged for Leonard Churchill to go

undercover.

But Ada had always been by his side.

What she knew was enough for the strategists to infer everything.

Ada stood there, rooted, much like a child who had committed a mistake, confronted by their parents, she broke down in tears.

Watching her, Reuel Bible sighed faintly.

His own protege, almost a disciple.

He said calmly, “You don’t have to apologize. It’s just part of the job.”

As a card master of the Order Pathway, Reuel Bible had a clearer understanding

of right and wrong than most.

All things in the world only have different standpoints, there is no absolute

right or wrong.

From Ada’s standpoint, making such a decision was not wrong.

But in the end, someone had to be wrong.

Not wanting to say more, Reuel Bible said indifferently, Off you go. The road ahead is long. I hope you can always stand by what you believe in.”

The moment he said “ahead”, it was clear that their ties had severed.

With a thousand thoughts churning in Ada’s mind, she looked at the rough and indifferent face before her, biting her lip hard.

Ultimately, she couldn’t bring herself to speak. She sadly turned around and left the room.

Once again, Reuel Bible was left alone in the room.

The feeling of betrayal by a confidant left an empty void in his heart.

“Heh…”

Reuel Bible let out a bitter laugh.

Not long after, a mushroom-headed teenager came in.

The two of them simply stared at each other in silence.

Looking at the teenager before him with his backpack, Reuel Bible seemed to experience a subtle change of mood.

just like the moment before a glass bottle filled with water breaks, everything is as usual.

But in an instant, the bottle shatters, water splashing everywhere.

It seemed as though something had suddenly become clear.

The last time he felt such intense emotions was a dozen years ago.

Looking at Mushroomhead, as though he had a sudden realization, Reuel Bible laughed at himself. “Ada is one of the best talents among all the graduates of the Federation University. All the major families of the Federation wanted to win her over. It was already difficult enough for her to maintain her principles. Old Lake was her guide into the bureau. I can understand any decision she makes…”

Saying this, he looked at Mushroodhead before him. His dark, tiger-like eyes radiated a sharp light, “But you… I can’t understand at all.”

All along, he had thought this assistant was a simple, hardworking, and eager- to-learn youth.

Not until that very moment.

He finally realized,

He never understood this assistant.

Ada left some traces.

But this one, he was flawless.

It was this flawlessness that alerted Reuel Bible to the problem at hand.

Listening, Mushroodhead, with his face that had always been innocent, kept on with his radiant smile, “No matter who I am, you are still my captain. You taught me so many life lessons.”

Reuel Bible shook his head with a bitter smile, and asked, “So, why are you here?”

Mushroomhead spoke earnestly, “Of course, it is to help the captain unlock this ‘Eight Gates God Seal’.”

Reuel Bible’s eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes flashing with complexity, as if deciphering the motive behind the words.

But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t figure out this man’s identity.
