Walker Of The Worlds

It had been about a week since the three clans, Hui, Shu and Fei had been exterminated from the Jiao Long city.

Tensions were rising and falling every day and most commoners were certainly more happy than before, even if their daily life had become a bit more difficult due to the strict checks by the guards.

Because the murders of the three clans had gone completely unnoticed, a significant part of it was blamed on the guards as well, and thus they were under pressure to perform. Hence, they ended up targeting the commoners and were convinced that the commoners knew something but were not revealing it.

Plus, it didn't help that the commoners were in the favor of the three clans being exterminated either. The remaining clans of the merchant council had gone into hiding, with only Shantung and Jingming Shang staying in the opening.

After the massacre, just as Lin Mu had guessed, the blame had fallen upon none other than Gu Yao who was the supposed backer of Shantung. The other members, including Jingming Shang, were worried and asked Shantung to ask their backer if they had done this.

Shantung had assured them that he would get to the bottom of it and that it would not be his backer that did this. On the surface, he appeared to be confident, but when Lin Mu and Jing Luo spied on him, they realize he was no less nervous than the others.

The thing that troubled Shantung the most was the fact that his supposed backer had broken off all contact with him. He was not responding to his messages, no matter what channels they used.

Plus, since they were mostly in the shadows since the start, Shantung could not openly ask for them either. Thus to preserve his face and authority, he made the other members believe that the backer was still there and that he was just waiting for their response.

As two, three, and four days passed, Shantung got more and more unsure about his backer's intentions and now that an entire week had passed even he started doubting if it really was his backer who had done all this.
