Chapter 482 The Black Hand of the Year

Liu Jingtang cleared his throat and continued, "After the Demigod War, Sun City was completely taken over by the Chief. The new interim Sun City City Lord is the original Logistics Department Minister, Sun Xiangtian."

"After he took over, he recruited me and the other two worshipers back, and officially incorporated them into the Demon Slayer Division."

"In the beginning, he did a pretty good job, and he was very honest and did his job. He didn't do anything extraordinary."

"Some of his subordinates had unclean hands and feet, and he dealt with them seriously."

"During the Demon Tide War, he personally went to the front line to direct all logistics-related work."

"I have always believed that he is the chief's confidant, so following him is a good way out."

"It wasn't until a year after the Demon Tide War ended that the situation began to change."

"Sun Xiangtian began to be very active in infiltrating the Northern Expeditionary Army. No matter what position or official position, as long as he could get it, he would compete at all costs."

"After the Demon Tide War, the crystal cores stored in the human race were almost exhausted. The crystal cores in the hands of the logistics helpers have naturally become a hot commodity."

"They have made great use of their resources to smoothen the relationship. Otherwise, how could those guys from the Logistics Gang who have never fought in eight serious battles spring up one after another and infiltrate the Northern Expeditionary Army."

Sun Xiangtian...

Guan Shan quickly found Sun Xiangtian's appearance in his memory. A middle-aged man in his early forties, he was inconspicuous among the crowd. He had almost no sense of presence in the announced ministerial meetings.

Since the chief could put him in a key position like Sun City, he must have valued his personal abilities and was relatively sure of his loyalty.

After all, Li Junchang had just appeared in front of him, and he almost made a big mistake.

If it were another Sun City City Master, the Chief would definitely be particularly cautious.

How could Sun Xiangtian...how dare...

Doing these dirty things under the chief's nose?

Guan Shan frowned slightly, unable to figure out the key, and simply asked directly, "Has Sun Xiangtian told you, what is the real purpose of putting people into the Northern Expeditionary Army after he went to such great lengths?"

"Normally speaking, I would not take the initiative to ask about these things. After all, the more I know, the deeper it will be. If something really changes, it will be very difficult to let go of the relationship."

"Unless Sun Xiangtian gives me direct instructions, most of the time, I can avoid attending their gatherings."

"In the few closed-door meetings he occasionally participated in, Sun Xiangtian mentioned the reasons why they did this."

"In the final analysis, they are just unconvinced. The logistics gang believed that they made a huge contribution in the battle of the demon tide, but they did not get much of the cake when the merits were rewarded after the war."

"There are obviously so many vacancies for senior positions, but none of them are allocated to them."

"So they are a little bit unbalanced."

"Since you can't wait, then take the initiative to fight and grab it."

This is all stage talk...

It is indeed enough to deceive Guo Siyuan, Kang Kai and others, but people with a discerning eye will never believe it.

According to Sun Xiangtian's approach, sooner or later the chief will be angered.

Our chief is a ruthless person who can even throw away Fengdu City at a slightest cost.

He will not engage in the "law does not punish the public" approach. Either he will not deal with it, and once he deals with it, he will uproot them and take them all away.

Sun Xiangtian raised his head and jumped back and forth on the chief's bottom line. What he wanted must be more than just venting his anger.

Guan Shan gently put down his chopsticks and asked thoughtfully, "When did this situation begin? Did anything happen before that?"

Liu Jingtang frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "About half a year after the Battle of the Demon Tide, Sun Xiangtian suddenly called me and the other two sages nervously."

"He said he wants us to protect him and participate in a secret negotiation."

"After we officially join the Demon Slayer Division, our main task is to protect Sun Xiangtian and provide him with the necessary force to intimidate him. After all, his strength is only at the peak of the sixth level."

"It's naturally hard for the three of us to refuse."

"The conversation went smoothly and we didn't encounter any danger along the way."

"But the person who talked to Sun Xiangtian... left a deep impression on me."

"The man was mysterious and mysterious. His whole body was covered in bandages, with only two eyeballs exposed. He couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman."

"That's not even the most special thing."

"I don't know what kind of awakened person the bandaged man is, and the aura on his body is very thin."

"No...it should be said that he has no sense of existence at all."

"It makes people subconsciously want to ignore him."

"But my sixth sense tells me that the bandaged man is definitely not ordinary. If I fight him, I may not be sure of victory."

Bandage man?

There is also a strength that can make even the eighth-level venerable Liu Jingtang fear...

Guan Shan searched for the information in his mind, but he couldn't remember such a strong person who was good at concealing his aura.

Gu Jia had already put all the food on the table, and came to Guan Shan's side. She listened quietly to the conversation between the two, and from time to time put food into the bowls of the two junior brothers.

"Since that day, Sun Xiangtian's strength has improved by leaps and bounds. In less than half a year, he successfully broke through to the level of a Venerable." Liu Jingtang continued.

"Since he became a Venerable, his temperament has changed a lot. The bad things that the Logistics Gang is doing now basically started from then on."

"Master Guan, you have also become a Venerable. You should know better than others how much crystal core consumption and how strong talent are needed to break through the Venerable status."

"Although Sun Xiangtian is in charge of the Logistics Department with the most money, he was still upright at that time. It is impossible for him to have so many crystal cores to squander."

"And his talent for cultivation can only be said to be mediocre."

"All these changes must start from the bandage man who suddenly appeared."

"If Master Guan is interested in investigating the Logistics Gang, you can start with the bandage man."

"The fact that the Logistics Gang can rise rapidly in such a short period of time and can reach out to various departments is definitely related to him."

Guan Shan nodded slightly and kept the information Liu Jingtang said in his heart.

Seeing Guan Shan's expression gradually ease, Liu Jingtang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't want to stay with this table of killers, so he stood up and prepared to say goodbye to Guan Shan.

But Guan Shan held his shoulders and pushed Liu Jingtang, who was just about to stand up, back to the table and chair.

"Master Guan, I'm not very familiar with the group of people in the logistics department. I have told you everything I know." Liu Jingtang said nervously.

"I know."

"You are a person who has no psychological burden to betray your employer in order to protect yourself."

"Just now, I talked to you about business. After the business, I still have some personal questions to ask you."

Guan Shan looked at Liu Jingtang calmly and asked word by word, "Who was the mastermind behind the frame-up of my father and the destruction of my family back then..."

"Who is it?"

Liu Jingtang's pupils suddenly contracted, and cold sweat broke out in an instant, and the alarm bells in his heart rang loudly.
