Chapter 261 Small talk
Under Lin Tian's questioning, Hu Xianfeng and the others began to recount the cause of death of these prisoners.
After waking up the prisoners, they began the interrogation as usual. These guys were quite stubborn, so their interrogation methods were quite violent.
However, they were ultimately just a bunch of thugs. Under Tiger Vanguard's severe torture, they finally couldn't hold on any longer and began to reveal some details.
However, these details are all trivial, such as the time and location of their operation.
These borderline answers angered Mad Tiger, who went up and punched them a few times. It was under Mad Tiger's real punches that they finally began to answer the important questions.
For example, their actions might be instructed by someone, or that person might be of a high status, at least in the underworld.
But when it came to the question of who that person was, they fell silent again, this time refusing to say it even if it meant death, or giving names that sounded very fake.
So the Tiger Vanguard changed course and tried a new method, directly asking them if this person was Golden Hand.
While Tiger Vanguard and his men were saying the names, they also observed that the prisoners' expressions changed, which meant that their probing was in the right direction.
With a clear direction, Tiger Vanguard and his men used every means at their disposal, and finally, with those guys half-dead, they relented.
But just as they mentioned the name of the person behind the scenes, they suddenly noticed that everyone's bodies stiffened, and a strange change occurred.
"And then it turned out like this?"
Lin Tian frowned as he looked at the group of corpses, his eyes showing a hint of seriousness.
Is there a spell that can prevent people from speaking?
The clues have gone cold, which is a bit troublesome. However, after thinking about it carefully, Lin Tian still thinks that the Golden Hand is more likely, since Tiger Father was attacked because he was investigating his information.
"Forget about that for now. If we can't find Golden Hand, so be it. The God War is coming soon, and Jiga will be here too. This is the only chance we can get him to come out of that turtle shell."
Lin Tian thought for a moment and decided that the upcoming God War was more important. After all, he had learned that when the current king went to war and his eldest son accompanied him, the most likely person to preside over the God War would be the second prince.
This was actually a good thing for Lin Tian, because compared to the heavily guarded royal palace, the arena in the city center was obviously a better place to move around.
Of course, this is a good operation compared to the royal palace. On the day of the finals, the arena will be under extremely high security. Assassinating Gija here would be much more difficult than assassinating Osian.
However, Lin Tian already had a plan in mind. Thinking of this, Lin Tian called over the squinty-eyed fat man and began to discuss with him the plan to assassinate Ji Jia.

As the new day dawned, the warm sunshine streamed down from the sky. The closer the God War approached, the more people filled the streets. At this time, almost every street was adorned with posters promoting the God War, and everyone was tirelessly discussing matters related to it.
"If you ask me, it has to be Akx! After all, he comes from the Hound of the Underworld, so his strength naturally far surpasses that of the others!"
"I disagree with this view. Have you ever seen Lord Dogtooth's fighting power? Every time he makes a move, he will definitely cripple a part of the opponent's body."
"Dog teeth? They're nothing special!"
"Yeah! Those dog teeth of yours are only good for bullying noobs. If you ask me, Xie Si is the real deal. Beating those dog teeth of yours is just bullying noobs!"
"Xie Siduo does indeed have some strength..."
"I heard he broke through to the Gold level?"
"I broke through a long time ago, but..."
"But what?"
"I heard he broke through using a special method, and his strength seems to be better than other Gold Saints..."
Even so, crushing everyone else is a piece of cake!
"Hey! That..."
If you ask where the best place to chat is, it's definitely a tavern. All sorts of people mingle together, from superhumans to shoeshine men. Here, with just a drink and a few seats, you can chat all day long.
They talk about everything from national affairs to neighborhood gossip; there's practically nothing they won't discuss. They talk about whatever's trending, like the recent God War, where the thirty-two top-tier fighters were described as "absolutely awesome!" "Crushing!" "The strongest!"
Everyone has their own pick for champion, and people argue endlessly with each other based on their own opinions, making it quite a lively scene.
"Damn it, I really want to smash those bastards to death with my chain hammer!"
In a corner of the tavern, Dogtooth, one of the thirty-two members of the God War, was angrily glaring at the people who had slandered him. Judging from his clenched fists, he wished he could rush up right now and give those haters a good beating, letting them know whether Dogtooth's strength was really as bad as they said.
"Don't get excited. They've just had too much to drink. Besides, you're a celebrity now. Putting aside the possibility of getting arrested by the Ghost Dogs if you make a move, just the fact that you're a contestant means you'd be in a bad position to start a fight!"
Just as Dogtooth was about to lose his temper, the blue-haired woman sitting opposite him suddenly spoke up to dissuade him.
It must be said that the woman's voice was very alluring. Her seductive voice was so captivating that even those at the next few tables who didn't hear what she was saying couldn't help but turn their heads to look at her.
"Miss, you..."
"what happened?"
“No…it’s okay…”
Seeing the long tongue of the blue-haired woman constantly rubbing and protruding from her mouth, the man who was about to strike up a conversation suddenly felt his legs go weak, and the words he was about to say were swallowed back.
"I heard that one of the contestants had an accident?"
Just then, Dogtooth suddenly spoke up. Although he didn't say it explicitly, his words implied that she should restrain herself, which made the blue-haired woman look regretful.
I was originally hoping to try what people from Shacheng tasted like...
"Who said that?"
"The organizer."
"Why did not I see?"
"I happened to run into you when you were trying to seduce a man, and I chatted with him for a while."
"Hmph~ What do you think?"
"I didn't watch much, or rather, isn't this better? With one less opponent, I might even get a bye!"
"You're overthinking it. How could such a good thing happen? The organizers will definitely make up for it."
"Tch, I hope they add some extra ingredients! As for me, Master Hou, I'll just crush the noobs! I'm a master of crushing noobs!"
"Hum~"
Click! ! !
Just then, the sound of something being destroyed caught the attention of the two people who were chatting, and they immediately looked towards the entrance of the tavern.
