Chapter 1511 Testing

“Understood, Divine Emperor. I will head to the Purple Violet Hotel now to investigate the matter thoroughly.”

Casillas quickly agreed. He knew the Divine Emperor was truly enraged this time.

Firstly, a Cardinal had been silently killed, causing immense loss to the Divine Court. Secondly, if word got out, the Divine Court, which had always been high and mighty, would lose face.

“Investigate this matter discreetly for now. Don’t let that girl Helena know.”

“Yes, Divine Emperor.”

Casillas finished speaking and hung up the phone.

After he finished the call, Guardiola and the others immediately gathered around him.

“Cardinal, what did the Divine Emperor say?”

“The Holy Light Jade Tablet shattered. Ferguson and Douglas are dead.”

“What? Dead?”

The others were secretly astonished to hear this news, not expecting the First Cardinal to die just like that.

Casillas said, “Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s go back to the hotel first.”

With Ferguson dead, Casillas was now in charge of everyone present.

Gareth said, “But Cardinal, are we just going to let this go? Shouldn’t we find the killer?”

Casillas glanced at him indifferently: “Then you tell me, how do we find him?”

“I…”

Gareth was instantly speechless. With no clues in this situation, what could he do?

“Alright, this matter isn’t urgent. We’ll go back and slowly search for clues.”

Casillas turned and walked down the mountain, leading the Divine Court members towards the Purple Violet Hotel.

Back at the hotel, after settling everyone else, he said to Helena and Sophie, “Let’s go visit Mr. Ye. He is knowledgeable and might be able to give us some advice.”

“Okay, I was just about to go see Ye Dage. I miss him already.”

Although Ferguson’s death was a major event and affected the mood of everyone in the Divine Court, in Helena’s heart, it couldn't compare to Ye Bufan at all.

The three of them left their room and walked towards Ye Bufan’s room. Arriving at the door, they knocked.

The door opened, but it wasn’t Ye Bufan who opened it, but Alicia, the number one beauty of M Country.

At this moment, she had just showered, wearing a silk slip dress. Her golden hair was still somewhat damp, draped over her jade-like shoulders.

Her tender white cheeks were flushed, like blooming peach blossoms, and her eyes were filled with endless spring.

Although Helena was inexperienced, hadn't she seen a fat pig run even if she hadn't eaten its meat? With the internet so developed now, she naturally understood everything and immediately sensed that something was amiss.

“What’s wrong with you? What are you doing? Why are you coming out of Ye Dage’s room?”

Alicia rolled her eyes at her: “What’s wrong with you? Ye is my boyfriend. Do we need your permission to do what we want?”

“You… you move aside, we want to see Ye Dage.”

Helena, though angry, was helpless. She could only push Alicia aside and rush into the room. Although Casillas was a bit awkward, he still walked in for his own purpose.

“Where’s Ye Dage?”

Helena looked around but didn’t see Ye Bufan. She turned back and asked.

“Does that even need asking? He’s naturally in the shower.”

Alicia pointed towards the bathroom, and everyone quieted down, only then hearing the faint sound of running water.

“This…”

At this point, even a fool would know what the two of them had just been doing in the room.

Helena’s face turned ashen with anger, but she could do nothing.

Casillas sat on the sofa, his peripheral vision peeking through the crack in the door at the bedroom inside. The bed was a mess, and he could faintly smell a hint of hormones.

Although he was a Cardinal, he was also a man. He could tell at a glance what had happened there just before.

Just then, the bathroom door opened, and Ye Bufan, wearing a bathrobe, walked out.

Seeing the few people, a look of surprise appeared on his face: “Cardinal, Helena, why are you back so soon? Didn’t you say the trial would take three days?”

“Ye Dage, how could you be like this? Did you know I wasn’t here and then fool around with her?”

Helena stepped forward and held his arm, her face full of grievance.

She and Ye Bufan had been together for so many days, but she had never been able to cross that final line, whereas Alicia clearly had an advantage in that regard.

Alicia immediately became unhappy: “How dare you speak like that? Ye is my boyfriend. We are doing nothing wrong, alright? What do you mean ‘fooling around’?”

Seeing that the two women were about to argue, Ye Bufan quickly reached out to stop them.

“Alright, stop arguing. The Cardinal is here.”

The two women then huffed and glared at each other, then stopped talking.

Ye Bufan walked to the opposite side of Casillas and sat down, asking with a puzzled expression:

(End of this chapter, please turn the page)

“Cardinal, what exactly is going on? Why did you suddenly come back? Didn’t you say it would take three days?”

“Don’t even mention it, there was an accident during the Saintess Trial.”

Casillas briefly and concisely explained what had happened, finally emphasizing that Ferguson and his son were dead.

“What? The Cardinal is dead? How is that possible?”

Ye Bufan shot up from the sofa, his face filled with shock.

He then said, “That’s impossible, right? Are you joking with me? Cardinal Ferguson is the Divine Court’s First Cardinal, with unfathomable cultivation. Who could possibly harm him?”

The reason Casillas revealed everything was to gauge the other party’s reaction.

However, Ye Bufan’s reaction so far was completely within the normal range, and the shock on his face was not feigned.

Moreover, what happened with Alicia earlier was also not feigned; the two had indeed just engaged in the primal act between a man and a woman.

One might think that no matter how capable this Young man was, it would be impossible for him to silently infiltrate Angel Mountain, kill Ferguson, and then return to do such a thing. This was simply an impossible mission.

He couldn’t help but shake his head inwardly. It seemed the Divine Emperor had judged incorrectly; this matter truly had nothing to do with him.

“This is certainly no joke, Cardinal Ferguson is indeed dead.”

At this point, Casillas had no desire to stay any longer. After a brief chat, he bid farewell and left.

Back in his room, Gareth was already waiting with a USB drive in his hand.

“Cardinal, I have obtained the hotel’s full-day surveillance footage through hacking. You can take a look.”

“Okay.”

Casillas said, then opened his laptop and inserted the USB drive, playing the video surveillance at 32x speed.

As a Cardinal, his Mental Energy far surpassed that of ordinary people, allowing him to see clearly even at the fastest speed.

After a short while, he watched the entire video surveillance, including their departure in the morning, and later Ye Bufan and Alicia returning to the hotel.

After that, they never left their room, not even their own door. During this period, only Lucia had visited a few times, and no one else had come.

After watching, his last remaining doubt was completely dispelled. He then picked up his phone and reported the situation here, exactly as it was, to Divine Emperor Adams.
