Although the mayor used Frank's death to strengthen the pretext for the Great Purge.

However, it is undeniable that the city defense forces controlled by the mining conglomerate have been greatly weakened.

With a C-level superhuman and nine Seraphic mechs, He Ao even suspected that he had completely crippled the mid-to-high-end combat force of the Rock City Defense Force.

However, judging from the situation in Kaya City, most of the city defense forces in Rock City are B-level, and each B-level has a huge impact on the situation.

When we meet Ilya later, we might be able to subtly inquire about the city's defense forces.

He Ao felt that the city's defense forces might be an excellent point of attack.

While he was pondering, the old foreman had already led several people over.

He glanced around and recognized only the middle-aged man who had given him the flying machine last night and saved him at a crucial moment. He didn't recognize the others.

However, the young man who had been lurking suspiciously in front of the old foreman's door when He Ao came to find him was also there.

I spent the whole day moving today. The sun was strong, the things were heavy, and my whole body aches, so I can only update less often. I'll update more after I finish moving in the next day or two.

The group walked deeper into the church.

He Ao looked up at the core members of the miners' mutual aid association that the old foreman had brought; there were six people in total.

He Ao, Ivo, the old foreman, a middle-aged man, a thin young man, and a middle-aged woman with a simple face.

In the end, the old foreman chose these few people to go with him to see Ilya Ann.

As He Ao expected, the old foreman also called him along.

Theoretically speaking, He Ao is not currently a member of the miners' mutual aid society.

He Ao always felt that the old foreman seemed to like him a lot, but he didn't know if it was because he had saved the miners' mutual aid team last night, or for some other reason.

Ivo felt it was only natural for the old foreman to call on He Ao, and the middle-aged man also felt that it should be the same.

The young man and the middle-aged woman seemed somewhat surprised.

However, before the old foreman could introduce them, the middle-aged man immediately told the young man and the middle-aged woman about He Ao's deeds last night.

Suddenly, the way the two of them looked at He Ao changed.

He Ao simply looked up, smiled, and nodded at the two of them.

The group introduced themselves to each other.

He learned that the middle-aged man was named Watson, the young man was named Yaz, and the middle-aged woman was named Daya.

After the introduction, He Ao fell silent again.

The church wasn't large, and no matter where Elijah was in the church, it wouldn't take long to walk there.

The old foreman would certainly not allow the traitor to see Ilya, so finding the traitor could only be accomplished within this short stretch of road.

He Ao glanced at everyone.

Fourth Brother Ivo is not the mole.

It's unlikely to be a middle-aged man either; if he were truly the mole, he wouldn't have risked his life to save He Ao last night.

Of course, it's also possible that he might be risking gaining Heo's trust, but there's no need for that.

He Ao was just a newcomer, and the middle-aged man didn't know him at all. Moreover, He Ao was already in dire straits. If he were the mole, he wouldn't invest in a stranger like this.

So the traitor is between the remaining two people: the young man Yaz and the middle-aged woman Daya.

pick one of two.

Looking at their faces, He Ao suddenly felt something was wrong. He narrowed his eyes and activated his super memory.

Why didn't Ellen come today?

The old foreman, who had walked to the front, suddenly asked.

“I came here this morning intending to talk to you,” the young man glanced at He Ao, pondered for a moment, and then said softly, “I saw Allen in contact with people from the city hall earlier. He may have betrayed the mutual aid society.”

"Ah."

The old foreman nodded slightly, then looked at the middle-aged woman beside him. "Daia, I heard that your son is attending the mining consortium's private school."

The middle-aged woman's face stiffened. She wasn't stupid; after seeing the wounded in the church this morning, she realized something was wrong, and a bead of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

Many women who joined the miners' mutual aid society sought revenge after their family members died at the hands of mining conglomerates.

Daya is one of the best among them.

Despite only having a secondary school education, she became a key figure in the miners' mutual aid society through her intelligence.

Her brief silence

After a moment of silence, he said slowly, "Old foreman, you know that after I joined the miners' mutual aid association, it was as if I was dead. My child is being raised by my sister, and I haven't seen him for a long time."

She paused for a moment, then added, "I think there's one aspect of our project that we accomplished too easily."

"We easily stole the Hell Apostle Mech, a powerful weapon of war, from the mining consortium's layers of security."

"Now it seems that this Hell Apostle may have been deliberately given to us by the other side."

"And it was Ellen who told us this information."

"Old foreman, Allen didn't come today. I think he might be..."

The young man glanced at the old foreman, opened his mouth slightly, but didn't say the rest of his words.

"What are you talking about? Allen lost a hand while saving the brothers in the mutual aid society."

Ivo, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up. He was starting to understand what the old foreman was probably looking for.

"Besides the few of us, there was a young man named Allen who participated in the planning process. Your brother joined the mutual aid society around the same time as him, and they were very close."

The middle-aged man, Watson, explained softly to Heo, then sighed, "I believe Allen, but I don't know why he didn't come today."

"Ivo, can you please stop acting on your emotions? Don't you know people can change?"

The young man looked at Ivo with some anger.

“Ivo, sometimes you really need to calm down and think things through.”

The middle-aged woman also looked at Ivo and said softly, "However, we really can't just make assumptions about Ellen like that."

She then turned to the old foreman and said, "If it weren't for this young brother Nell, all the elite forces we've painstakingly cultivated would have been lost. That traitor who deserves to go to hell is truly despicable."

As she spoke, she raised her hand, “I request that I, Yaz, and anyone else who is a suspect be detained for a thorough investigation until we are cleared of suspicion.”

"You crazy woman, don't bite me!"

The young man, Yaz, suddenly jumped up. "I've done everything perfectly, the whole mutual aid society has witnessed it. The old foreman saved my life!"

Then he swiftly lifted his shirt, revealing hideous scars that covered almost his entire chest. "I've always been an upright person. Back when we were on a mission together, I risked my life to save you and your cronies. And now you're coming here to frame me?"

"Calm down, calm down."

Watson quickly ran over to act as a peacemaker.

"Old foreman, just say one thing. If you also think I'm a traitor, then just arrest me. You gave me this life, and now I'm giving it back to you."

As he spoke, the young man pulled a dagger from his waist. "A person should live a clean life. I didn't do it, and that's it. I don't accept being treated as a suspected traitor. I can prove my innocence with my death."

"do not get excited."

Watson was startled and quickly grabbed the young man's hand.

But the young man was faster; he had already plunged the dagger into his abdomen, and bright red blood flowed out. He looked at Watson, his eyes bloodshot.

"Watson, stop pretending here."

"Good man, your brother just bought a ten million dollar house in the city center last month. With your family's generations of miners, how could he afford such an expensive house?"

Watson's face froze.

This unexpected turn of events left even the already somewhat irritable Ivo completely bewildered.

He Ao glanced at everyone's expressions, seemingly unsurprised by the young man's radical actions; it seemed that this was just his personality.

He glanced around; this was the area with the most guards, and people were constantly gathering around.

It seems the old foreman had planned this question well in advance.

The situation seemed to have reached its most chaotic point, with both the young man and the middle-aged woman using a strategy of retreat to prove their innocence. Watson, who had originally gone in to mediate, was also dragged into the mess.

The old foreman glanced at the 'sentinels' surrounding them, then at the three people in the chaos, let out a long sigh, and said slowly, "I sent Allen to contact the mining consortium. He didn't come today, which means we've been exposed."

He glanced at the group. "He once told me that his undercover operation had been discovered, and he had identified the person responsible. That person is..."

At this moment.

The middle-aged woman, Daya, suddenly pulled out a pistol and shouted, "Get out of the way! Anyone who doesn't get out of the way, I'll kill them."

All eyes were drawn to the middle-aged woman.

At that moment, He Ao stepped forward and extended two fingers.

boom--

The dagger, reflecting a cold light, was easily caught between two fingers. The thin face looked up, staring at He Ao in shock.

At this moment, He Ao was standing behind the old foreman, calmly watching the man with blood on his abdomen waving a sharp knife.

If he had acted any later, the dagger would have pierced the old foreman's heart.

"Assassin?"

He looked at the other person's young face; it was the young man, Yaz.

By drawing the attention of a middle-aged woman, the assassin can then use stealth to minimize his presence and deliver the fatal blow.

This guy's plan was perfect; if He Ao hadn't been there, he would have succeeded.

At this moment, the old foreman also realized what was happening and looked at the young man behind him in shock. "Yaz, it's you."

Yaz was momentarily stunned, then realized what was happening and said angrily, "Old man, you tricked me."

"Yaz, how did you become a superhuman? When did you become a superhuman?"
