I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 424 - 82: True Name

"The assassination incident last night resulted in the deaths of 6 Apprentice Death Gods and 17 mercenaries."

"Initially, I always thought the culprit behind these incidents was the Overlord of the forest area, Jiang Xing."

"But after I truly engaged with him, I realized he doesn't possess the ability to infiltrate the camp and kill silently... or rather, based on my speculation, such a person shouldn't even exist, because Mokaka's barrier would inevitably block any malicious outsider."

"The only one who could complete an assassination within the camp must be someone inside the camp."

"By this point, I actually began to suspect the people around Mokaka, and among those who follow her, your suspicion is quite significant."

At this point, Yun You paused slightly.

"Unlike Mokaka's guards, you were a maid she 'picked up' on the Floating Island. You might have been favored by her, hence your loyalty, but such loyalty wouldn't make you 'fearless'."

"The continuous deaths of Mokaka's guards is a great terror for those who follow her, because who knows when you might be the next to die."

"In such a situation, even the guards Mokaka hired for a hefty sum are hesitant, but what did you do? You weren't afraid; instead, you actively participated in the investigation and even revealed information about the Frost Clan to me."

"From then on, I thought, you... are definitely not simple, at least not just any ordinary fallen noble lady."

Saying this, Yun You's gaze shifted downward, slowly focusing on Tian En's hands.

Those were hands not smooth, with some calluses, although the shape was beautiful, the skin was somewhat rough.

"You told me you were once a noble from Nest City and were only captured into the Floating Island a few months ago."

"But I don't think so."

"Because these hands of yours couldn't be those of a lady... only through long labor and hard physical work would hands become calloused."

"So, with skepticism, I investigated the 'Tian En' family's records."

"As it turns out, there is indeed a minor noble with the surname 'Tian' in Nest City No. 3, and they indeed faced political cleansing a year ago, with the whole family imprisoned."

"But this family is not large, with only about a dozen members, and traditionally a single heir per generation. The latest generation was a boy named 'Celestial Mulberry', who died on the Floating Island months ago."

"And you, Tian En, used his identity."

"Upon this discovery, I can basically confirm that you are the last descendant of the Frost Clan, the true mastermind."

"As for your tuft of pink hair, that is the final piece of evidence."

Yun You took a deep breath, looking at the stunned Mokaka.

"Pink hair isn't natural; it's a unique hair color after the Frost Clan was cursed."

"At this point... all the evidence links together, and your identity isn't hard to deduce."

"If I'm not mistaken, Tian En, you should be the unacknowledged heir of the Frost Clan."

"Your parents were harmed by Mokaka's father, Caliduo Hugo, and the family's vast estate was completely divided up, so you seek revenge."

"However, Caliduo Hugo and his Hugo Group are too vast for you to handle, so after much deliberation, you decide to target Mokaka."

"Mokaka is the heir of the Hugo Clan and Caliduo's most cherished daughter. If you could kidnap her, Caliduo would be helpless and at your mercy."

"Thus, you plotted all of this."

Yun You turned her head, looking toward the distant Karma Remnant Buddha, slaughtering the various camp outposts.

"You assumed the 'victim' identity, were 'rescued' by Mokaka, and then naturally came by her side as a maid who could approach her freely."

"Simultaneously, you continuously assassinated her guards, reducing her defensive forces and preparing for the Karma Remnant Buddha's arrival."

"I suspect you originally intended to proceed steadily, eliminating every guard by her side before acting, ensuring nothing could go wrong."

"But my appearance disrupted your plans, forcing your hand to act prematurely, killing over twenty guards in one night, severely damaging Mokaka's guard corps, and with the help of that nuclear bomb, completely summoned the Alef Creatures."

"Your departure this time was likely to control the Karma Remnant Buddha."

"I wonder... is my speculation correct?"

"..."

Another brief silence ensued.

Everyone present fell into a silent slumber, with only Mokaka, kept in the dark all along, showing a look of disbelief and shock.

Now, as both a "victim" and the "heir of the perpetrator," what thoughts might Mokaka have at this moment?

Guilt? Shock? Numbness? Disbelief?

No one knows, and no one cares.

All eyes were on Tian En.

The crowd gradually noticed that the usual panic and timidity on Tian En's face were slowly disappearing.

In its place, was a profound tranquility.

Her eyes showed not a trace of emotion, calm like a dead, still lake.

After a moment of silence, she finally began to speak slowly.

"You're remarkable, Miss Wu Ming."

"I can completely tell that you should be someone who climbed out from the bottom, not a lady born into nobility."

"Your conjecture is impressive and mostly correct, but there's one thing I need to correct you on..."

"The destruction of the Frost Clan wasn't the handiwork of Mokaka's father."

"Such 'credit' and the chance for 'revenge' I wouldn't give to anyone else."

Saying this, she reached out and grabbed that lock of un-dyed pink hair, pulling it out with force, then rubbing it between her fingers, igniting it and burning it to ashes.

"The last couple of the Frost Clan, my biological parents..."

"The ones who killed them never was Caliduo Hugo, but I myself."

"At the age of thirteen, I was brought back by them to the family, reverting to my original name - Dolores Frost."

"They planned to announce my identity the following New Year, formally naming me as the next generation Patriarch of the Frost Clan."

"But I didn't give them that chance."

"On the following New Year's Day, I killed them both, along with seventeen members of the Frost Clan, setting fire and burning down the family's ancient home, burying everything about this family completely."

"I, Dolores Frost, Tian En, am the true grave digger of the Frost Clan."
