Chapter 66: The Truth of the Soma Familia's Destruction!
The pitch-black interrogation room was exceptionally quiet. Faint light shone through the iron bars. She sat on a wooden bench that offered no comfort whatsoever. Compared to the interrogation itself, the waiting process was the most agonizing.
Lili watched the constantly flickering candlelight. With the sound of approaching footsteps, even though she was already prepared, her spirit was still tense.
She wasn't worried that the "Ganesha Familia" would use means to force a confession.
But as the iron bars were opened and a sturdy man with a bare upper body and an elephant god mask walked in, the worst outcome had already appeared.
"Ganesha."
After all, lower-world citizens could not lie before a god.
And Liam had instructed her before he left, if it was a god conducting the interrogation, then she could directly tell Ganesha the truth.
What Lili was more anxious about was whether she had bought enough time.
Entering the interrogation room with Ganesha was also the Familia captain, Shakti. The interrogation process, of course, couldn't be conducted by the god himself; at most…
He was a witness to verify the truth!
She knew this matter wasn't as simple as just finding the culprit; it also involved the Adventurer's Guild. She waved her hand casually.
Signaling the other Familia members to leave.
After doing this, Shakti looked at Lili with a complicated expression, placing a crystal vial containing a green potion, "Truth Serum," in front of her.
She said concisely, "Liliruca, I hope you will cooperate with us next."
"Do I have the right to refuse?"
Lili looked up at Shakti with a smile. She could roughly guess the potion's effect, but she didn't intend to continue hiding it anyway.
After all, it was a tragedy caused by her own dereliction of duty. When facing Lili's gaze, she even dodged it slightly.
Shakti hadn't intended to reopen Lili's old wounds of persecution. She said directly, "Is the real reason for the Soma Familia's destruction related to you?"
"That's right."
Lili's voice was cold, the slight upward curve of her lips full of provocation, "And I personally planned it."
Ganesha didn't speak, which proved she wasn't lying. Shakti sighed almost imperceptibly, then asked the most crucial question.
"With your strength as a supporter, you couldn't have destroyed a Familia. Who was the adventurer you sought help from, and did you collude with the Dark Faction?"
"A passing adventurer. Do you think I'd be stupid enough to collude with the Dark Faction?"
"The other party's real name, affiliated Familia, current adventurer level, and frequently visited places," Shakti pressed again.
"I don't know the Familia, I never asked."
There was no need to lie now, but Lili truly didn't know which Familia Liam belonged to. As for frequently active places, "He likes to go to the Dungeon."
"Name?"
"...Liam Moon."
Recalling the night of the planned action two days ago, Lili still found it incredible, "As for his adventurer strength, if I said he was Lv1."
"Would you believe me?"
"!!"
On the member list provided by the Adventurer's Guild, there were four Lv2 adventurers in the Soma Familia, and over sixty Lv1 adventurers in total.
Hearing that the real culprit was a Lv1 adventurer.
Shakti subconsciously cast her gaze towards Ganesha. Confirming that Lili wasn't lying, her mature and proper, beautiful face still maintained its calm.
At this moment, her heart was undoubtedly in a state of great turmoil!
If he hadn't concealed his strength and real name, Shakti found it hard to imagine what kind of grand feat "annihilating the Soma Familia at Lv1" was!
To be able to defeat a stronger adventurer in a level-up battle, he was by no means an unknown.
The problem was, Shakti had never heard the name "Liam Moon" at all. It was highly possible he was an adventurer hiding his strength!
She frowned and continued, "Tell me more details about your contact with Liam Moon."
"Lady Shakti."
Without directly answering the question, when Liam was mentioned, the youthful face Lili lifted revealed a gentle smile that she didn't try to hide at all.
Her expression was indescribably relaxed, "The truth is often hard to accept." "Perhaps you've never even heard the name 'Liam Moon,' but it won't be long before all of Orario remembers him."
"Reason?" Shakti couldn't help but clench her fist.
The young woman's eyes revealed a look of admiration, and she said as if it were a matter of course, "Breaking the world record, the new adventurer who broke through to Lv2 at the fastest speed!"
"Do you think this reason carries enough weight?"
Noticing Shakti's contracting pupils, she added with a smile, "Also, all these questions you're asking, he wanted me to tell you all of them."
"This guy!!"
Leaving the interrogation room, Shakti's clenched fist slammed heavily against the wall. Her mood was, of course, not good; she was being completely led by the nose.
If leaving behind the "superficial reason for the Soma Familia's destruction."
Was the official explanation Liam gave to the Ganesha Familia, then Lili's final words were undoubtedly Liam playing with the rules of Orario!
Most crucially, she had no way to sanction his actions. She knew the Adventurer's Guild's attitude.
The destruction of the Soma Familia?
If Liam really broke the record and was the fastest adventurer to break through to Lv2.
Then, in the face of the value displayed by the latter, this sensational massacre event in Orario would completely develop according to this guy's plan!
"Soma Familia members who, against their god's will, attempted to sell mind-controlling divine wine in Orario, were liquidated by a passing adventurer."
"Shakti, that's enough."
Having gotten the real answer, the result was no different from what Ganesha had expected. He didn't feel annoyed; on the contrary, he found it very interesting.
After all, terms like "level-up massacre of a Familia" and "fastest breakthrough to Lv2" were fatally attractive in the eyes of bored gods.
Coming to the lower world, wasn't it for this kind of unknown?
This was irrelevant to Liam's stance. As long as he could create miracles they couldn't understand, it was entertainment to pass the time for them.
"A Level 1 adventurer, completing a Familia massacre in a level-up battle…"
Even Ganesha, upon hearing the grand feat Liam had accomplished, couldn't help but be shocked, developing an extremely strong interest.
If not for the "Soma Familia Destruction" incident.
Using some method to absorb Liam into the Familia would be more beneficial for future development. Noticing Shakti's ashen face, he finally dismissed the thought.
But this didn't affect Ganesha's anticipation in the slightest.
When other gods learned that the culprit who destroyed the Soma Familia also possessed an unparalleled, unimaginable "Excelia," what would their reactions be?
"This is really interesting…"
"It's about time to inform the adventurers of Orario about the news of the Soma Familia's destruction." Ganesha decisively gave the order.
How should he choose?
Based on his understanding of Ouranos's character, he probably already had an answer. He turned his head to look at Shakti, whose face wasn't looking so good.
"I won't comment on Soma, but the wine he brews is quite good."
"As for Zanis, who was acting as the head of the Familia, his foundation was not clean no matter how you look at it. At most, the efforts in the Xenos trade are wasted…"
"As for you."
Ganesha looked at Shakti, but thought of Liam. Not only did he possess extremely strong potential, but even his mind and way of doing things were so meticulous.
He shook his head lightly, his face, mostly covered by the mask, only showing a sigh of emotion.
"I wonder which Familia was so lucky to have picked up such a good child. I can look forward to the Denatus…"
"Those bored fellows, what level can they reach!"
