Once, I wanted to be a good person-Chapter 429 - 97. Late-Night Investigation Room Upgrade! (14,000 Words Part 1/2)_4

```

However, Sir Yang said, although there were no public dealings, he had heard from some of the old timers in the gang that, it seemed, every year on the seventh day of the seventh month, these seven third-generation leaders still secretly met...

After listening intently to the intelligence Wang Hao had provided, truth be told, Fang Ze began to see Wang Hao in a new light.

Although much of the information that Wang Hao investigated was also looked into by the Jiang Family.

But how vast is the Jiang Family?

How high is their status in the entire Xida State, and in Emerald City?

How much manpower and resources were spent on this investigation, and how many years?

And what level, what status does Wang Hao have, how long has he been investigating?

Although this included finding the right person, as Wang Hao’s inner thoughts revealed, the man known as Sir Yang was actually very proud and aloof.

He usually never communicated with others, nor liked to deal with people.

Therefore, ordinary intelligence personnel, even if they guessed that he was a key figure, couldn’t get useful information from him. They might even be discovered as soon as they made contact and be reported to their gangs.

It was precisely Wang Hao’s "Social Expert" mind power and his skilled use of it that allowed him to successfully build a relationship with Sir Yang, and as a result, gradually obtain valuable intelligence.

And recalling the intelligence brought by Wang Hao today, Fang Ze also connected these pieces of intelligence with a key clue he had previously kept hidden.

It even further corroborated Fang Ze’s speculation about the "true truth" of the Flower Morning Festival.

The key intelligence that Fang Ze had always kept hidden and had not disclosed to the Federal Investigation Bureau was: those seven earliest founders of the gangs had actually all died many years ago, and what’s more, they died in their prime, just a few years after passing on their positions to the next generation of leaders.

And even more eerie was the fact that the second generation of leaders of these seven major gangs died in similar circumstances. They had led the gangs for over a decade, and also met with mysterious deaths in their prime soon after handing over power to their children.

After receiving this message, the Jiang Family speculated that these seven families sought to "borrow" the power of the Flower God during the Flower Morning Festival but ended up being backfired upon.

Yet Fang Ze’s speculation was different from that of the Jiang Family, even completely contrary to what he had disclosed to Gu Qing.

Previously, he had told Gu Qing that he suspected that Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng, and Wang, the eight old ancestors, had killed the Flower God during the great disaster fifty years ago, or obtained the corpse of the Flower God.

Afterward, each person took away a part and brought it back, inheriting the power of the Flower God.

And the Flower Morning Festival was a process they conducted to extract the power of the Flower God.

However, combining the mysterious deaths in their prime of the fourteen leaders of these seven families, the eight surnames that haphazardly matched the first eight in the Surname Record, and a series of information received from the Jiang Family, from Bai Zhi, and from Wang Hao.

Fang Ze surmised that perhaps... the leaders of these seven gangs weren’t real humans at all, but puppets. Puppets of the Flower God...

The Flower God might not have perished after all, but was alive in another space, such as the Spirit Realm or Spirit Mountain within the Spirit Realm.

And for some unknown reason, perhaps the Real World couldn’t accommodate her power, or maybe she would be rejected by the world if she descended directly, but for one reason or another, she could not directly descend into the Real World.

So she was trying to "divide" herself, to descend gradually.

And the Flower Morning Festival wasn’t about bestowing power from the Flower God, it might actually be a process where the Flower God was dividing her power, infusing it into the body of the Flower God’s Holy Maiden, through Possession, control, and eventually Fusion, to truly descend into the world!

This could also explain why all of the Flower God’s Holy Maidens were selected by the eight major gangs.

And after being chosen, their strength would skyrocket, advancing to the Spirit Ascension stage in a short time, only for their strength to stagnate afterward.

Because, in fact, after receiving the power of the Flower God, they were possessed, imbued with the Divine Power of the Flower God!

This could also explain why the surnames of the eight major gangs were so hastily chosen!

Because.... they were originally puppets, and their "names" were likely given by the Flower God herself.

And because the Flower God had never been to the Real World, unaware of the multitude of human surnames, she dared not name them carelessly for fear of revealing herself. So she could only use the human surnames she heard, to name the founders of the eight major gangs.

And the ones she heard most easily, of course, were the most widely circulated ones from the first sentence of the Surname Record: Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng, Wang...

This could also explain why these gang leaders always died mysteriously in their prime: while humans may have lifespans of a hundred years, puppets controlled by Disaster Creatures might only live for a decade or two.

The Flower God had to periodically make them produce offspring, controlling their descendants to become the new puppets.

And the method of control was likely related to their Awakening Abilities.

That is to say.... the Awakening Abilities of these eight people were bestowed by the Flower God.

And in turn, the Flower God also used these bloodline-transmitted Awakening Abilities to control their descendants.

And if the truth were really as such, then the conflict between the founders of the eight gangs back in the day might not have been about the seven founders betraying "Zhou" and killing him.

It might have been that "Zhou" somehow broke free from the control of the Flower God, betraying the Flower God.
