Han Sen found a golden bone in the female Feather's body. It was only ten centimeters long.
After the bone was taken out, the female Feather's body started to change. Her wings, which had turned gold, were now white again. Her nails and fangs were back, too. But her body, which had been dismembered, could not be restored. She was dead.
"Han Sen, you are in big trouble. The Feathers will not let you off the hook for killing them," Mister Tiger said.
"Who said I killed them?" Han Sen looked at Mister Tiger coldly.
Mister Tiger was shocked. Han Sen went on to say, "We helped two Feathers kill xenogeneics, but an unknown outsider descended from the sky and killed the two Feathers. He stole the xenogeneic materials and left. The two of us, along with Hardman, sacrificed ourselves to lure the xenogeneic out. The xenogeneics knocked us down to the bottom of the river, and we escaped."
Mister Tiger was shocked. After a while, he said, "Is that really going to work?"
"Can you kill two Feathers?" Han Sen asked, looking at Mister Tiger.
Mister Tiger shook his head and said, "No, I can't. I'm too weak."
"If you can't, then I'm just an ordinary person with geno armor," Han Sen said coldly.
Mister Tiger now understood that Han Sen was right.
From an outsider's perspective, there was no way they could have killed two Feathers.
No one would have thought Han Sen was just a commoner with geno armor, and yet he was able to wield so much power.
He was able to kill a Royal Feather and a xenogeneic Feather.
Even Mister Tiger, who had seen it all with his own eyes, could not believe it.
"Let's go. Let's swim around the river. Then, we can go back and report to the Feather. Black Gold Group must have a way to contact the Feather." After that, he grabbed the blue crystal tentacle and jumped into the black river.
Mister Tiger hesitated, but he still jumped in.
If he jumped, he would be colluding with Han Sen. But if he didn't jump, he would probably become Han Sen's enemy. In order not to leak the secret, Han Sen could only fight to the death with him.
Thinking of this, Mister Tiger only hesitated for a moment before following Han Sen into the river.
Han Sen was not worried that Mister Tiger would report him. He could just go back to the shelter and hide.
If he was the only one left alive, the Harpies would be more suspicious. With two survivors, it would be easier for the Harpies to believe his testimony.
Han Sen went downstream and found a place to hide the blue crystal tentacle. Then, he returned with Mister Tiger. He called for Black Gold Group's troops to come and protect the scene. Mister Tiger contacted the higher-ups of Black Gold Group. They took this matter seriously, and they immediately contacted the Feathers.
Qiao didn't leave, though. She was still waiting for Han Sen. When she saw that Han Sen was safe, she felt relieved.
After leaving, Han Sen returned. He took out the blue crystal tentacle and used his teleportation power to send it and the bone back to the shelter. No matter how powerful the Harpies were, they wouldn't be able to find them.
When Han Sen returned to Qiao's house, he had time to check out the xenogeneic beast soul he had just received.
Baron Xenogeneic Beast Soul: Gold Witch (Bow)
Han Sen summoned it in his room. It was a beautiful golden feather bow. It was like a pair of golden wings, and it looked as if it had been forged from gold.
Unfortunately, he didn't have any arrows in his hand, so he put the bow away after playing with it for a while.
The next day, Black Gold Group sent a message to Han Sen. The Harpies had arrived in Gran City, and they were in Black Gold Group. Han Sen had to go and see the Harpies.
In a room that looked like an interrogation room, Han Sen met the Harpies. She was a woman, and she looked like the female Feather Han Sen had killed. Creatures of the same race usually looked the same. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
But the lifeforce of the female Feather made Han Sen's heart skip a beat. She was stronger than the female Feather he had killed.
"Mister, why have you called me here?" Han Sen asked politely.
The female Feather looked at Han Sen and said coldly, "Tell me what happened. Don't leave anything out."
Because she saw Han Sen wearing geno armor, the female Feather didn't suspect Han Sen as much. She didn't think a commoner with geno armor could threaten two Feather Barons, especially when one of them was a xenogeneic.
Han Sen and Mister Tiger had already discussed giving a statement, so he told her what he was going to say.
The female Feather didn't hear anything wrong, and she didn't think Han Sen and Mister Tiger could threaten the two Feathers. So, she didn't suspect anything.
"Don't leave Gran City for a while. I'll come to you if I have any questions. If you think of anything, you can come to me. If you can provide me with useful information, I'll reward you." The female Feather waved her hand, and Han Sen was allowed to leave.
Han Sen had been through a lot in his life, so this little bit of trouble was not enough to make him nervous. He left Black Gold Group in a relaxed mood.
"Lone Wolf, what do you think?" After Han Sen left, the female Feather frowned.
A man with a wolf's head walked in and politely said, "Miss Xina, Gran City is a small place. The strongest faction here is Black Gold Group's hunting group. They have two Barons, and I have seen the two Nobles. They are too weak to kill two Feather Barons, and one of them is a xenogeneic."
Xina didn't say anything, and she just wanted Lone Wolf to continue.
Lone Wolf paused and went on to say, "That human is even more impossible. He's just an ordinary creature with geno armor.
So, I think their deaths might have something to do with that thing. "
"Are you saying that someone else received the same information as us? That's why they sent people to Gran City to investigate, and they ran into us?" Xina asked quietly.
"If that's true, that means the thing might be here. We need to act quickly," Lone Wolf said with a look of excitement.
"It's just a rumor, after all. No one can be sure it's true, and we don't know where it is. We can't find it," Xina said.
"If it is here, there will be a weird scene when it appears. We just have to wait here. If we get there before the others, we'll be able to find something," Lone Wolf said.
Xina nodded and looked murderous. "You should keep investigating Black River. No matter who did it, you have to find the culprit. We can't let our Feathers die for nothing."
