Yama Reborn-Chapter 584 - 581: Go Ask Him Yourself!

As Chen Nuo had expected, after he called Nolan to report the attack by the black Controller, Nolan's reaction was surprise, nervousness, and then... nothing more.

He inquired about Chen Nuo's situation and, upon learning that he was unharmed, simply said he would report to Kamisou Ichiro and advised Chen Nuo to be careful.

Then, he hung up the phone.

When the call was made, Lu Xixi and the Son of the Sun were actually right beside Chen Nuo.

The three of them were sitting at the dining table eating a meal.

Chen Nuo was even using the speakerphone while making the call.

After the call ended, the Son of the Sun had a strange look on his face, frowning: "That's the kind of reaction from that guy?"

Chen Nuo smiled: "What else do you expect him to do?"

Lu Xixi gently served Chen Nuo a bowl of soup, handed it to him, glanced at him, and then took a napkin to wipe a bit of oil from the corner of his mouth.

Only then did she say: "Nolan's reaction is quite strange indeed."

Chen Nuo glanced gently at Lu Xixi, held her hand, and whispered: "Because... if I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid Nolan doesn't even know where Kamisou Ichiro is now! He's already lost contact with the Octopus Monster."

The Son of the Sun's eyes widened: "What?!"

The old man seemed somewhat anxious and a bit angry: "Lost contact with the Octopus Monster? How does that work! We were invited by him to deal with the Fourth Seed!

If we really encounter the guard and the Fourth Seed, are we going to sacrifice ourselves?

Without the Octopus Monster as a Seed, how could we possibly oppose them?!"

Listening to the Son of the Sun's outburst, Chen Nuo calmly picked up his bowl and drank the soup his wife had served him.

After the Son of the Sun finished yelling, Chen Nuo put down the soup bowl and said in a calm tone.

"Old man, do you still think we're here to deal with the Fourth Seed?"

The Son of the Sun's face froze, "What are you saying? What do you mean?"

Chen Nuo sighed, tapping his fingers on the table: "Last night, the black Controller who attacked me is the same guy who severely injured the Diamond Queen, Lillian, a few days ago.

Do you really think he is a 'guard' of the Fourth Seed?"

The Son of the Sun's expression became even more confused.

Chen Nuo shook his head, patting the old man's shoulder: "It's one thing to be a bit weak, but with a simple mind like yours, how have you survived till today?"

The Son of the Sun's face darkened, and he smacked away Chen Xiaoguo's hand: "What do you mean!"

Chen Nuo thought for a moment and began narrating the discussions he had with the black lad Enke.

Enke had told him about the past twenty years of this war-torn small country, where three ambitious dictators once attempted to sweep the nation but ended up brutally killed by 'Heaven's Punishment.'

Then he spoke of the black man he met last night who claimed to be 'Heaven's Punishment.'

Chen Nuo looked at the Son of the Sun: "Have you figured anything out?"

The Son of the Sun frowned: "So, this 'guard' also has a local nickname 'Heaven's Punishment'?"

Chen Nuo shook his head: "No, that's not it. Have you forgotten what I told you before? I find the biggest puzzle in this is that our search group was attacked twice when searching the wilderness jungle.

If the other party was a 'guard,' there was no reason or need for a second attack, which was the attack on our camp. This doesn't make sense."

The Son of the Sun fell silent, looking seriously at Chen Nuo.

Chen Nuo said: "So, the flaw in the matter is here.

If the Fourth Seed wanted a guard, it would have been arranged in just the last one or two years.

After being severely injured in a battle with the Seed, it needs to seal itself to recover and heal.

But even as a Seed, it does not possess the ability to foresee the future.

It was after being injured that it needed a guardian.

Using its ability, it quickly cultivated a person, forcefully granting the other party the power of a Controller.

This could only have been accomplished in the last two years.

But how long has this 'Heaven's Punishment' existed in this area?

At least twenty years! Killing three dictators!

So..."

"So, he's not a 'guard' of the Fourth Seed?!" The Son of the Sun finally caught on.

The old man slammed the table, jumping up from his chair, exclaiming: "Then this time..."

"He attacked our search group twice, severely injured Lillian, and yesterday attempted to attack me... This guy is just a hidden and entrenched local Controller expert in this small country.

He's not a 'guard' of the Fourth Seed at all!"

The Son of the Sun instinctively asked: "Then... where is the guard of the Fourth Seed?"

Chen Nuo chuckled, then his smile faded as he looked at the Son of the Sun.

"Have you ever considered the possibility that we've all been deceived by Kamisou Ichiro.

Isn't it possible that he used the excuse of 'dealing with the Fourth Seed' to trick us all here?

Actually, there isn't any Fourth Seed here at all.

He brought us here, not to deal with some Fourth Seed, but for another purpose!"

Upon hearing this, the Son of the Sun's face turned from black to white, his gaze filled with seriousness and astonishment.

Even Lu Xixi's expression became serious, as she frowned at Chen Nuo: "Hubby~ Did you discover all this long ago?"

"No, it was only last night when I encountered this black Controller, that I finally figured it out."

Chen Nuo shook his head and squeezed Lu Xixi's hand: "Previously, while chatting with Enke, I learned that this country has a mysterious expert known as [Heaven's Punishment], but that was just hearsay.

It wasn't until I met this black man last night that he admitted it was him who attacked Lillian, and I confirmed that he had been organizing attacks against our search operations all along. He also personally admitted that he was [Heaven's Punishment].

That's when I connected the two things.

Afterwards, I figured out many things.

For instance, the two attacks on our search group's camp make sense now.

We had always speculated that he was the [Guard] of the Fourth Seed, attacking our search group to cover up the Fourth Seed's hiding place, thus interfering with our operations.

This line of reasoning was wrong.

I can now confirm that he is not the Fourth Seed's guard at all.

He's merely an indigenous expert entrenched and living in seclusion in this backward African country.

The reason he persistently attacked us might simply be because: a lion, discovering a group of lions invading its territory.

As the local Lion King, he had to confront these outsiders invading his realm.

Perhaps that's all."

"Just like that?" The Son of the Sun's eyes widened.

The old man seemed doubtful: "Just because he's the local Controller, discovering a group of top outsiders coming here, he wants to deal with us?

Isn't that a bit far-fetched?

Lu Xixi, when you were in London, and Chen Nuo, when you were in Jinling... if an outsider Controller arrived, would you just attack them recklessly?

Can't people just come on a vacation, or can't they come for other purposes? It doesn't make sense..."

Chen Nuo slowly replied: "He attacked us because the disturbance caused by the Octopus Monster was too big.

Thousands of armed mercenaries entered this country, sweeping away many indigenous tribal armed forces and local forces!

As for him, although I don't know why, this black Controller seemed to maintain the country's warlike situation.

He's been protecting those scattered tribal armed groups and local forces.

He seems to wish for this small country to remain in a state of fragmentation and tribal presence forever.

And when the Octopus Monster came here with thousands of troops, the four directions seemed to be a search operation, but in fact, it was a sweep of clearing many small tribes.

This approach triggered the counterattack by [Heaven's Punishment], this black expert.

He saw us as invaders, viewing our actions as an attempt to clear tribal armed forces.

After the first attack on Nolan and the Wizard Group, Nolan organized the Octopus Monster's mercenaries to counterattack, clearing several small tribes.

Therefore, the second time, he organized a larger scale of personnel to attack the camp of me and the Son of the Sun.

After that, the Octopus Monster organized thousands of mercenaries and government army for a large-scale military campaign, deciding to sweep all tribal armed forces fiercely.

Then this [Heaven's Punishment], realizing the tribal armed forces couldn't resist anymore, personally stepped in!

He directly attacked and severely injured Lillian.

And killed the President of the Capital.

Then last night, he attacked me again.

He's not any Fourth Seed's guard; he's just an indigenous expert who has been entrenched locally for many years, staying secluded from the world."

Lu Xixi frowned and thought, asking: "Then... does the Octopus Monster know this guy isn't the guard?"

"He should know." Chen Nuo sneered: "From the series of actions by the Octopus Monster, Kamisou Ichiro is clearly conscious in provoking this guy, trying to lure him out.

That's why I said, is there a possibility that our arrival in Africa was a deception by the Octopus Monster.

He didn't come to deal with the Fourth Seed at all—perhaps the Fourth Seed isn't even here.

He fabricated a reason, deceived us to accompany him in doing something he's concealing!"

The Son of the Sun continued to ask: "Then what is that? What's the Octopus Monster's purpose?"

Chen Nuo rolled his eyes and spread his hands: "How would I know that? I'm not a parasite in that guy's stomach. Being able to deduce this much from the information I have is already not easy.

What the truth is, only the Octopus Monster knows now.

If you want answers, go ask him."
