Alea thought for a moment and whispered to Ana. The latter then relayed it to Phyrill, asking, "Phyrill, do you have the tool to examine his body? Or to what extent can you diagnose this wound?"

"I am not very sure." Phyrill pointed at the hole in the stomach. "First of all, killing a Mythical Rank Expert like this is hard, especially if you need to be quiet about it.

"After, you can't expect to have a Mythical Rank Expert die without a single fight, right? That's why this is weird.

"The enemies this time might be stronger than we expected. Thus, it's normal to suspect the Star Group. There are three reasons why we should suspect the Star Group.

"First, the wound that is similar to what the archer there inflicted on the monster. The second reason is the location of the corpse. It is leaning toward the Star Group's camp, making it look like they were the ones who did it. Third, the enemy must have known about the conflict earlier. That's why the culprit is among us." Phyrill explained.

"What did you say? You're suspecting us?" Nella shouted while Theo tried to stop her as if he didn't want to make it even worse.

Phyrill added, "Of course, there are also three reasons why we shouldn't suspect the Star Group.

"First, the killer this time must have known about the conflict like the reason from earlier. He's utilizing this kind of assassination to make the people conspire against the Star Group. Whoever did this is expecting us to blame the Star Group.

"Second, this big crack on the ground.." Phyrill pointed at a small crater on the ground. "If you take a look at the location of the crack, the attack must come from the Empress' Palace's direction. Before you make an assumption, I'm telling you that I'm not going to lie or place the blame on any of you. I'm simply analyzing the crime scene.

"As for the third reason, it's simple. If the Star Group is the one doing it, it means we're completely incompetent. For example, we're taking turns for the night shift with at least one Mythical Rank Expert to stand by for every group. As for Miss Poison Princess.. your group needs to send two every shift.

"Then, it comes to this question. If he is killed by that person, how about the other person? Why the closest person who is patrolling the camp are not aware of this assassination?

"With these three reasons, I want to say that all of us are the suspects. And the culprit is among us. However, there is no way to determine who is the culprit unless you have a special ability to do it." Phyrill finished his explanation and took a step back.

'Hoh?' Theo was impressed by Pyhrill's observation skill. He was good at torturing people meant he had exceptional knowledge about the human body. After all, he couldn't afford to accidentally kill the tortured person.

The Poison Princess thought for a moment, understanding Phyrill's reasoning. As he said, they couldn't really determine the culprit.

"So.." Ana paused for a moment before coming to a conclusion. "If this is the case, I can't really trust anyone else from here since all of you have the chance to be the culprit."historical

Theo also stated, "It seems we can only go this way. My team doesn't mind taking the right side, but we're not going to compromise with other groups because there's a chance that we're being targeted to be made as a culprit. And I can't really trust that guy."

Theo glared at Ragnar, who was biting his lips to suppress his anger.

Meanwhile, Ragnar also showed, "There's no need to suspect anyone. Just treat the Star Group as the culprit, and we can be done with it."

"Shut up. I'm inviting everyone here, and you think your voice is the biggest here?" The Poison Princess raised her voice in anger. What others didn't know was that she had poisoned Theo, so Theo wouldn't be able to lie to her anymore. Since he had admitted that he didn't kill her guard, the culprit should be either the World Martial Institute or the Empress' Palace.

She glared at them before making a hard decision. "We're going to continue our expedition. Because the culprit is among us, I want all of you to stand ten meters away from each other. This way, we can see each other's movement, and no assassination will take place again."

"Hmm? Ten meters?" Theo looked at his Skylink and confirmed the distance in feet, thinking, 'Ah, 33 feet.'

They considered the Poison Princess' proposal. Since none of their three groups were harmed, it was clear that the Poison Princess was the only one suffering from this incident. So, they could still continue as long as the Poison Princess gave the command.

Of course, the Poison Princess also suspected her own group. Since the night guard came in pairs, it was clear that the other Mythical Rank Expert that came out together with this victim was to be considered a culprit as well.

And she wanted to handle it personally instead of letting other people do it. Hence, it was better to disperse them first and do the interrogation.

Since this was also a satisfactory agreement, they accepted the terms.

To everyone's surprise, Theo came to Phyrill, who managed to examine the wound to such an extent. He thanked him personally. "Thank you for speaking up for us. Without you, we would be branded as a culprit unjustly."

"It's fine. I was just stating the truth. Nothing wrong with it." Phyrill shook his head with a calm expression.

"Okay. If there's an opportunity, let me treat you." Theo smiled.

"Ahaha, I'm looking forward to it." Phyrill chuckled as he watched Theo walking away. He didn't know why but his instinct gave him a familiar feeling from this man. But in the end, he thought that his instinct was messing with him.

Meanwhile, Ragnar gritted his teeth, glaring at Phyrill as if he wanted to rip him apart. If there was no one here, Phyrill would have died.
