The Witch Hunter System - Chapter 792

Chapter 792 Great Devil Conference (3)

After hearing Thanatos's assuring words, Hecate nodded before calmly joining the Great Devils at the stone table.

No one objected to Hecate sitting despite her breaking a taboo of Gehenna and becoming the main subject for their gathering.

"Since everyone is present, we can begin the Great Devil Conference."

Right after Thanatos made his announcement, Mephistopheles immediately jumped at the opportunity to condemn Hecate, "Do you know what you have done wrong, Hecate?"

"I do not," Hecate coolly denied.

"You don't? Or are you pretending not to know?" Mephistopheles argued, "Killing a Great Devil is strictly taboo. Thanatos made this rule clear to everyone long ago! Not only did you challenge Thanatos's authority, you also caused Gehenna immeasurable losses!"

"How do you intend to answer to Thanatos and compensate us, Hecate?" Mephistopheles asked, exposing his true intent.

In truth, Hecate wouldn't face any serious consequences even if she did kill Abaddon. After all, killing her would cause Gehenna even more losses. As such, their purpose was to get some benefits out of her.

However, how could they easily remove food she had already put in her mouth?

"Oh, please. You should be thanking me. I did everyone a big favor and removed the thorn in our side. Gehenna is better off without Abaddon than it is with him," Hecate retorted.

"No matter how much of a pain in the ass Abaddon was, it does not change the fact that you killed Abaddon and broke the rule, weakening Gehenna and causing us an immeasurable loss of power!" Mephistopheles argued.

"That's your so-called fact? Ha, not only are you ignorant, but you are also deaf," Hecate taunted with contempt before saying, "I have already said I have not done anything wrong. I didn't kill Abaddon, so who the hell are you to say I did? Were you there? Did you see it with your own eyes? No? I didn't think so."

Mephistopheles opened his mouth but was unable to refute her argument. He truly had no idea how Abaddon died; he only knew Hecate was involved.

"Enough of your sophistry, Hecate. Even if you didn't kill Abaddon, you most definitely played a hand in his death. That is no different from killing him yourself," Balmodan said with a frown.

"What are you trying to say, Thanatos? Just speak bluntly," Hecate urged.

"Although you aided Abaddon's death, I won't punish you. I won't deprive you of your rights to the Evernight Territory either. I know how competent you are; the Evernight Territory will surely flourish in your hands. This is good for Gehenna," Thanatos stated.

"However, the true killer must be punished. Not only did they break my rule, but they were capable enough to kill a Great Devil, even if it was with your help. Naturally, that makes them a big threat to us and Gehenna."

"I will give you a chance to confess their name and break away from any relationship you share with them. Otherwise, you may not enjoy the benefits I've previously mentioned, Hecate," Thanatos stated.

"Heh, you want me to sell out my partner to prove my loyalty to Gehenna still exists, Thanatos?" Hecate shook her head self-

deprecatingly.

Even if she didn't confess, the Great Devils could still figure out the culprit with some investigation.

It wasn't difficult for them to do so.

"How do you intend to punish this person once you know their identity?" Hecate asked.

"Isn't that obvious? The person must be killed if they are that big of a threat! How can we tolerate their existence if we are at odds? Not to mention, they broke the rule! He has to be killed to uphold Thanatos's authority!" Helcan stated with a venomous look.

He had a faint guess of who the killer was.

"Rules are dead, but people are alive. This person is more useful to Gehenna alive than dead," Hecate argued before snickering at Helcan, "Hehe, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the consequences of killing that person."

"If that person dies, you will all be the greatest sinners of Gehenna," Hecate warned.

Helcan immediately frowned in doubt, but he wouldn't be deterred by Hecate's words so easily.

"That's some bold claims you have there, Hecate. Why don't you tell us exactly what kind of consequences we will face for killing Abaddon's killer?" Helcan demanded.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)
