Chapter 224: 224. Suspicion on Curse Lord
Chapter 224: 224. Suspicion on Curse Lord
As planned, Zim and Lary left to inform the Dungeon Management Association about the deaths of the four young masters, and Dane stayed behind.
"Do any of you know anything about the masked individual?" he asked, his eyes examining each person in the crowd for any change in expression.
To his surprise, many people's expressions did change when he asked them about the masked man.
"Tell me, what do you know?" He grabbed one of the people whose expression changed the most.
The man panicked being held by Dane. "I-I only know that the mask he wore has recently become famous."
"How so?" Dane asked.
The man took a deep breath and said, "There was a man who called himself Curse Lord who wore this mask a few days ago but..."
"But what?" Dane urged.
The man continued, "But his strength was only at the gold rank, and he looked different and talked different compared to the guy who killed them."
Dane pondered. He knew a person with the strength of the gold rank wouldn't be a suspect, but this was the only lead they had so far, so he had no choice but to look more into this matter.
"Do you have any pictures?" he asked the trembling man.
"I-I have," the man immediately began to fiddle with his universal bracelet, and articles of holographic images passed above his bracelet until he stopped suddenly.
"This is him!" He pointed at the man in the mask to Dane.
Dane looked at the image on the article and read the information below too.
"So, someone tried to be a hero, huh," Dane muttered. "But no one knows who he is..."
After reading the details, he found this individual very mysterious. There were no records of this man before his recent appearance, and the most shocking thing it mentioned was that his strength was only at the iron rank.
"A masked man who calls himself Curse Lord has the strength at peak gold rank only at iron rank," Dane found this man very interesting. "But this guy shouldn't be him. He is just a kid who has a very powerful talent and decided to play hero by hiding behind a mask to kill the demons."
"How long do we have to stay here?" One of the people in the crowd took the courage to ask Dane.
"One month."
Dane looked at them and explained, "You guys will stay on this planet for one month. In that time, you are free to go anywhere on this planet, but you can't leave."
Everyone frowned when they heard the time they had to stay on the planet. It was too long.
Many of these people came to this planet to explore the Heaven City, and when they heard about a dungeon opening in this place, they came to clear it.
But now they had to stay here for another month, which obviously didn't sit well with many. However, like always, they didn't say anything and could only silently accept what they were told.
Orion, on the other hand, also wanted to leave this planet and visit his home as soon as possible. He couldn't wait to tell his father about Carl's family and the curse thing, but it seemed he could only relay this via the universal bracelet now. That was the only option he had at the moment.
"Alright, you can go now," Dane dismissed them.
Moments later, everyone left the hilly area, leaving only Dane standing alone in the place.
"Night," he whispered a word as if he were talking to himself.
But at that moment, a woman revealed herself in front of him. She wore black clothes completely covering her whole body and a veil covering her mouth. She appeared to be around her late twenties.
"Gather a team and keep an eye on every individual that left just now," Dane ordered her. "Also, if you see anyone doing any suspicious activity, subdue that person and bring them to me."
"As you command."
With those words, the woman disappeared from the place.
