Chapter 2858: Assassination Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio "Of course," Fang Heng said as he gestured towards the cathedral in the distance. "Wolff is dead. I think the Holy Court will be out chasing soon, and then you’ll see." Vergil looked at Fang Heng with suspicion in his eyes. Was this for real? Just him alone? He snuck into the Black Fog zone, successfully ambushed and killed the Archbishop of the Holy Court, then casually walked back out in such a short time? It seemed laughable. He really thought the Holy Court was full of fools? But... would Fang Heng have any reason to lie to him? Wayne, who had been listening nearby, also felt a chill run down his spine. He did it? Wasn’t Mr. Fang just supposed to go into the Black Fog zone to assess the situation? How did he come back with the mission completed? Fang Heng walked over to the team, noticed Wayne’s look, and casually explained, "I happened to find an opportunity, so I took care of it." This... Wayne was at a loss for words. Was this really something done "casually"? Vergil, looking towards the cathedral, motioned for the team to move forward. Sure enough, just as Fang Heng had said, about two or three minutes later, a group of Holy Court players hurriedly ran out of the cathedral. They looked around, seemingly searching for someone. Vergil, with his subordinates, arrived at the front of the cathedral and cupped his fists, "I am Sergeant Vergil of the Federation’s Grade 3 army. You should be believers of the Holy Court, right? I assume you were the ones who tampered with the Pillar of Black Fog? Thank you for your contribution to the stability of the Western District Federation..." "I am Cullen, a Tier 3 Holy Paladin of the Holy Court believers." Cullen’s eyes flashed with some urgency, "Let’s not talk about that for now. Archbishop Wolff encountered an unknown enemy attack while dealing with the Pillar of Black Fog, which caused an explosion. Currently, the archbishop’s life or death is unknown. I request the Federation to assist in locating him." Upon hearing this, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat. Good heavens! He was really dealt with by Fang Heng. Vergil’s heart trembled, and the surprise in his eyes was genuine. He immediately asked, "Who was it? Who could defeat the archbishop?" "I’m not sure, but when the black fog dispersed, I saw what seemed like a shadow pass by. I suspect it might have been him ambushing Archbishop Wolff. Did you see anyone else when you came here?" "We didn’t see anyone along the way, only saw you come out." "That’s strange..." Cullen furrowed his brows, murmuring to himself, "Could it be that my perception was off..." "Lieutenant Vergil." Cullen looked at Vergil with a serious expression. "The archbishop went missing during the battle with the Pillar of Black Fog. I hope the Federation can mobilize to help search for the archbishop’s whereabouts. The Holy Court will be very grateful." Vergil glanced in the direction of the group and then gave a side-eye to Fang Heng. He nodded and said, "Definitely." ... Star Map Control Center. "What did you say?" Venado stood up from his chair in shock upon hearing the news over the satellite phone that Fang Heng had completed the mission. "Are you sure it was Fang Heng who took out the archbishop?" After a moment, Venado hung up the phone and fell into silence. Whether he had seen Fang Heng personally kill Wolff, the archbishop, was no longer important. What mattered now was that the archbishop had indeed gone missing. According to Fang Heng’s story, Wolff was ambushed during his battle with the Pillar of Black Fog, caught by a soul chain attack, and died together with the Binding Sarcophagus. Subsequently, Vergil immediately checked the entire cathedral and indeed found no trace of the archbishop. It was highly likely he was dead. So, they really completed the mission? This was unbelievable! What kind of person was Fang Heng? To be able to complete a mission like this? "Heh..." Suddenly, Venado let out a light chuckle. It was actually a good thing. He was the one who had introduced Fang Heng to complete the mission, so he’d also get some credit on the Federation military department’s record. As for the conflict between Fang Heng and Cole... Not his concern! He could just push everything onto Captain Zoran. While thinking, there was a knock on the door. "Come in." Venado smiled and stood up to greet Fang Heng and the others as they returned, "Welcome back, everyone. Congratulations on completing a difficult mission. I’ve already submitted your Federation secret agent applications right away." Arkley smirked and said, "Lieutenant Venado, are we going to have to wait several weeks again for the secret agent’s identity?" "Haha, not at all. It will be done in a day, at most one day. I’ve already arranged for the unlocking process to start immediately." Venado was in a good mood, not bothered by Arkley’s sarcasm, "But as you all know, the unlocking process isn’t that simple. The military department also needs to arrange for special instructors to teach you. I’ve already scheduled the coaching group for you, and they are expected to arrive by noon tomorrow. Then you’ll be able to start learning right away." Arkley pouted, seemingly acknowledging this explanation. At least this time, the guy didn’t keep making trouble. Su Guantong asked, "I heard you urgently called us back because of Captain Zoran?" "Yes, Captain Zoran has an urgent mission for you. However, since you’ve completed a special mission and become part of the Western District Federation secret agent group, the decision to accept this mission is up to you." Everyone looked at Fang Heng. Fang Heng stretched and thought for a moment. Captain Zoran’s invitation... He might as well go and see. After all, he still needed a significant amount of contribution points for the grandmaster-level psychic skill exchange. "Let’s go. We’re not doing anything else anyway. Let’s see what Captain Zoran wants with us." ... Ten minutes later, everyone logged into the game again and boarded the Star River ship. "Fang Heng." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚 Captain Zoran breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Fang Heng return and said, "It’s so great that you made it in time. I have a special mission that requires your help." "Captain." Fang Heng nodded to Zoran and turned his gaze to the people beside him. "By the way, I forgot to introduce them. This is Captain Taylor from the Lanxing, and these two are inspectors sent by the Federation." Zoran introduced the people next to him and then gestured toward Fang Heng, "This is Fang Heng, the one I mentioned to you, an excellent mercenary." Everyone looked at Fang Heng. Fang Heng, however, looked at Shilok beside him. This guy was from the Federation Inspection Team? It should be the second time they met, but why did it feel like he was looking at him strangely? Shilok stared at Fang Heng, resentment filling his eyes. Fang Heng... Previously, when he bet with Captain Zoran, the ore contribution points that Fang Heng submitted were supposed to be covered by the Inspection Department. Just now, Shilok had received the detailed data from his subordinate. A whole hundred million contribution points! When Shilok saw the number, he almost vomited blood. Zoran really dug a deep hole for him. He nearly fell into it. Shilok still didn’t know how he would report this expenditure.
