Elf, I am really a farmer
Chapter 432: Pluto Organization Core Meeting
At this time in the meeting hall of the Pluto organization, the atmosphere was solemn and depressing.
There were thirteen seats around a huge table, but only twelve people were sitting there. The empty seat was particularly eye-catching, as if reminding everyone of the disappearance of the barbarian general.
Pluto sat in the first seat, his robe as black as ink, the patterns on his mask faintly visible in the dim light.
He leaned slightly back in his chair, folded his hands in front of him, his eyes deep and cold.
There were four generals sitting on the left and right sides respectively. They all had solemn expressions and exuded a powerful aura.
The other twelve ordinary generals also sat upright, waiting for Hades to speak.
Pluto's eyes slowly swept over everyone, finally landing on a report in front of him.
After a period of investigation, the organization still could not find the whereabouts of General Man. They only knew that General Man disappeared after arriving in Chunhua City.
Now it seems that the barbarian general has either been captured or died.
As for Chunhua City, Dr. Chu Feng, the only person who could pose a threat to General Barbarian, recently received news that he had left the institute and gone to the alliance headquarters long before General Barbarian arrived.
In this case, the disappearance of the Barbarian General should have nothing to do with Dr. Chu Feng.
Hades frowned slightly, and an inexplicable fear surged in his heart.
After all, if it was done by Dr. Chu Feng, they could still find the target, but now there is no clue at all, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.
However, it's not that there is no news at all.
During the investigation, Pluto's people discovered that Qi Qin, a former subordinate of General Zhou, had appeared in Chunhua City, but later seemed to have suffered heavy losses and had to return to General Zhou.
Moreover, General Zhou’s youngest son also went to Chunhua City specifically.
Pluto's fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a slight "dong dong" sound.
There was a thoughtful gleam in his eyes, and he secretly speculated on the relationship between General Zhou and the disappearance of General Man.
Although we don’t know exactly what he did yet, judging from all the evidence, it’s likely related to the disappearance of General Zhou and General Man.
If General Zhou had not been in the organization for some time and had not left, Hades would have suspected that it was General Zhou who killed General Man.
However, Pluto also knew that this was just speculation and there was no direct evidence.
He couldn't attack General Zhou just because of this news.
What if there is a misunderstanding?
After all, General Zhou’s strength is not simple. If he is lucky one day, he may become a champion-level trainer.
Therefore, we still need to win over the other party.
Pluto took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He raised his head slightly, looked at everyone, and said slowly:
"We still have no clue about the disappearance of the Barbarian General. But we can't give up the search. After all, we have to find the body if it's alive or dead. If you have any ideas, please share them."
His voice was deep and magnetic, echoing in the hall.
Everyone looked at each other and no one spoke for a while.
Pluto's eyes fell on several generals, hoping they could give some suggestions.
Several generals frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
After a while, a general named Li said:
“Lord Pluto, I think we can continue to intensify our investigation into Chunhua City, and perhaps we can find some new clues.
Moreover, we can expand the scope of investigation, and investigate the vicinity of Chunhua City. We can also investigate whether there are any strange things happening in Chunhua City recently. This can also be used as a reference for investigation. "
Pluto nodded and said:
"Yeah, that makes sense. But we also have to be careful about how we do it so as not to attract the attention of the alliance."
Another general, Sun, was not on good terms with General Zhou. He also discovered that General Zhou's men had been to Chunhua City before General Man got into trouble, so he said directly:
"Lord Pluto, I think we can ask General Zhou. After all, his subordinates and his son had been to Chunhua City before General Man?"
In the meeting hall of the Pluto Organization, the atmosphere suddenly became tense and subtle.
When General Zhou heard what General Sun said, he was shocked, as if he was struck by thunder.
He never expected that the action he thought was covert would be discovered.
His mind raced as he thought about how to deal with the situation.
When the others heard what General Sun said, they couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
They knew very well that General Zhou and General Man had never gotten along well. And now, before General Man got into trouble, General Zhou's men happened to appear in Chunhua City. It was hard not to be suspicious.
Everyone's eyes turned to General Zhou, their expressions filled with confusion and scrutiny.
Pluto was also surprised. He didn't expect that his men had such keen insight.
It seems that General Sun's intelligence capabilities are indeed extraordinary.
Pluto originally did not want to attack General Zhou. After all, General Zhou also held an important position in the organization.
But at this time, he had to turn his attention to General Zhou and wait for his explanation.
General Zhou was extremely anxious at the moment, but he understood that at this critical moment, he had to remain calm on the surface.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a seemingly relaxed smile.
General Zhou's eyes slowly swept over the crowd, finally landing on General Sun.
His voice was steady and powerful:
“My men did appear in Chunhua City, but that was because a young high-level cultivator appeared in Chunhua City who could produce primary and intermediate perfect quality energy cubes.
I sent my son there just to recruit him, that's all. General Sun doesn't think my little son can beat the barbarian general, right? If my child is that good, I should be able to retire. "
After saying this, General Zhou burst into laughter.
Although General Zhou's explanation is a bit far-fetched, it is not completely unreasonable.
After all, in terms of strength, unless General Zhou goes out himself, no one dares to believe that General Zhou’s youngest son can defeat the barbarian general.
When General Sun heard General Zhou's explanation, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible sneer.
"General Zhou, your excuse is really clever. But, isn't this too coincidental? General Man just got into trouble, and your people appeared in Chunhua City before, and you said it was for a young high-level breeder? Humph, I don't believe there is such a coincidence."
There was a hint of doubt and provocation in General Sun's voice.
When everyone heard what General Sun said, they began to whisper and talk among themselves.
"Yeah, this is too coincidental. General Zhou and General Man have always been at odds with each other, so it's hard not to be suspicious."
A member of the Twelve Generals whispered.
"But it is true that General Zhou's youngest son is unlikely to defeat the Barbarian General."
Another member responded.
Pluto watched the confrontation between General Zhou and General Sun quietly without commenting immediately.
His eyes were deep and complex, as if he was thinking about something.
General Zhou cursed General Sun in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at General Sun, and said calmly:
"General Sun, are you targeting me on purpose? I, Zhou, have always been aboveboard in my work, so please don't be suspicious without reason. My son went to Chunhua City just to recruit that senior breeder, is there any problem with that?"
General Zhou's voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and was full of confidence.
General Zhou was very nervous at this time. He knew he had to keep his composure and not let others see his panic.
He was secretly thinking about how to deal with the situation, while also observing Pluto's reaction.
General Sun was unyielding and continued:
"General Zhou, you sound nice. Who knows if you have other purposes? The disappearance of General Man is so strange, and your people appeared in Chunhua City at that time. It's hard not to be suspicious."
General Zhou's anger gradually rose in his heart, but he still suppressed his anger and said with a smile:
"General Sun, if you have evidence, please show it to us. Don't make groundless assumptions here. I am upright and I am not afraid of your slander."
At this time, other generals and members of the Twelve Generals also expressed their opinions.
"General Zhou and General Sun both have their own reasons, and it is difficult for us to judge." said a general.
"Yeah, if there's no evidence, we shouldn't jump to conclusions," another member echoed.
Pluto looked at the argument and frowned slightly.
He knew that the matter could not remain deadlocked any longer.
He cleared his throat and said:
"Okay, stop arguing. General Zhou, your explanation is a bit far-fetched, but there is no evidence to prove that you have a direct relationship with the disappearance of the barbarian general.
However, we will continue to investigate this matter. If we find anything suspicious about you, don't blame me for being rude."
Pluto's voice was low and majestic, full of oppression.
General Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Hades would not attack him for the time being.
He said respectfully: "Master Pluto, rest assured, I, Zhou, have never done anything to let the organization down. If necessary, I am willing to cooperate with the organization's investigation."
The atmosphere in the conference hall gradually eased, but the doubts in everyone's hearts were not completely eliminated.
The disappearance of General Man remains a mystery, and General Zhou's behavior is also puzzling.
Although this meeting did not reach a clear conclusion, it laid the groundwork for subsequent investigations.
