Chapter 174 The Killer is GhostHealer
It wasn't just Seth who was curious; a lot of folks at Sunrise were dying to know what was going on between Jeremy and Claire.
The reason was simple: GhostHealer had publicly claimed Claire as his.
Jeremy was GhostHealer's only disciple, so Claire definitely wasn't a student of GhostHealer.
Yet, both of them had GhostHealer backing them!
In reality, over the past month, Claire and Jeremy hadn't had any contact with each other. There was no interaction between them at all.
Amos shook his head. He really didn't know. People had all sorts of theories about the relationship between Claire and Jeremy.
The most popular one was that Claire might be Jeremy's lover.
After all, a beautiful woman and a handsome man—it's not unusual for them to have such a relationship in private!
When Jeremy and Arnold arrived at the Emerald Oasis Hotel, Jeremy was ready for anything.
He was now at the Late Mortal Realm, which meant he could fight like someone in the Half-step Innate Realm. He was fully capable of taking on Gabe.
But when Jeremy and Arnold walked into the private room, they were both shocked.
The floor was covered in bloodstains!
There were also pieces of flesh and meat everywhere.
And on the floor was a severely injured person.
Arnold looked at the scene and couldn't help but gasp.
Who did this? It was too cruel!
Killing someone is one thing, but did it have to be so brutal?
The key was that this was clearly the work of a powerful Martial Artist.
Jeremy frowned slightly. He didn't care about anything else and went forward to check on the injured person.
The injured person was Amos. Jeremy quickly took out a pill and gave it to him, then used Natural Energy to heal him.
A few minutes later, Amos finally opened his eyes. When he saw Jeremy in front of him, he looked terrified.
Jeremy asked, "Who did this?"
Amos looked at Jeremy, his voice trembling, "GhostHealer!"
His words made Jeremy's eyes grow colder. GhostHealer? There was no such person in this world. The real GhostHealer was already dead!
Arnold, standing nearby, said, "Mr. Taylor, I told you, it must have been you who notified Mr. GhostHealer, right?"
Hearing Amos's words, Arnold felt a bit scared. No wonder Jeremy was so confident. He had already notified GhostHealer. Look at GhostHealer's ruthless methods.
The bodies on the floor were in pieces!
Arnold thought it was really GhostHealer who did it!
Jeremy asked Amos a few more questions. According to Amos, the person who appeared in this private room was the same GhostHealer he had seen at the Bailey Manor!
GhostHealer had severely injured Gabe, who then escaped with serious injuries. Finally, GhostHealer killed Seth and his two bodyguards. The bodies on the floor were theirs.
To shatter a person's body like that required at least a Late Grandmaster's level of Inner Energy.
Just as Jeremy finished questioning Amos, the Inspectorate arrived!
Travis, the head of the Sunrise Inspectorate, came personally. When he saw the scene, his face didn't look good either.
Jeremy, on the other hand, was very calm and curiously asked, "Travis, how did you get here so quickly?"
Travis glanced at Jeremy, thinking he was playing dumb, and said, "Come with me. I have some questions for you."
Jeremy and Travis left the room and went to a nearby private room.
Travis urgently asked, "Jeremy, does Mr. GhostHealer even know who he killed?"
Jeremy eyed Travis suspiciously. How did Travis know it was GhostHealer before even asking?
Jeremy said, "If I told you it wasn't GhostHealer, you wouldn't believe me, would you?"
Travis replied, "Gabe was severely injured. He barely survived. The Harvey family in Verdantia wants an explanation from us. Otherwise, they'll handle it themselves!"
Jeremy asked, "Where is Gabe? I want to see him."
Travis, dissatisfied, said, "Why? Do you want to silence him?"
"Gabe is ranked eighth on the Tiger Rankings. You guys are really bold to think about killing him."
Jeremy said, "Travis, be honest with me. Did you see Gabe yourself before you came here?"
Travis didn't hide it and nodded, "Yes, I saw him before I came. He was seriously injured, on the brink of death. I've already sent him away."
Jeremy initially thought this was a setup by Gabe and someone else to frame GhostHealer.
But hearing Travis's words, Jeremy suddenly felt that things might not be so simple.
There was no such person as GhostHealer in this world!
The GhostHealer who appeared before was him. So who was this GhostHealer today, and why did he severely injure Gabe and kill the Harvey family members?
This person, whom he hadn't even met, didn't matter to Jeremy whether Seth lived or died.
But the fact that the killer used the identity of GhostHealer made it interesting!
He had been pretending to be GhostHealer, and now someone else was also pretending to be GhostHealer!
Jeremy had asked Amos earlier, and Amos was very sure that the person who did it was the GhostHealer he had seen before. He said he wouldn't be mistaken.
Amos wouldn't lie, which meant that the person who killed them really used GhostHealer's appearance.
GhostHealer had only appeared a few days ago, and now someone was using his identity to kill.
Was it an enemy of GhostHealer?
To impersonate GhostHealer, even if the person wasn't using VisageShift, they had to be a master at changing appearances and an Innate Realm Martial Artist capable of severely injuring Gabe.
Even the top three on the Tiger Rankings might not be confident in severely injuring Gabe. And it was clear that the person deliberately left Gabe alive to let him tell the Harvey family about this.
And Amos, the person didn't kill him either, leaving him alive to testify that the three people were indeed killed by GhostHealer.
The Inspectorate handled the aftermath, while Jeremy left with Arnold.
Arnold really believed that GhostHealer did it, so he trusted Jeremy's position in GhostHealer's mind even more. To clear the obstacles for his disciple, killing without hesitation fit the rumors about GhostHealer's character.
"Mr. Taylor, Mr. GhostHealer killed members of the Harvey family. Do you know the Harvey family in Verdantia?"
Arnold was worried that Jeremy was clueless and didn't know how to handle the upcoming situation.
Jeremy asked, "Are you familiar with the Harvey family?"
Arnold sighed, "Not really. I treated one of the high-ranking members of the Harvey family's outer clan once."
"I can personally go to the Harvey Manor and explain this misunderstanding. An insignificant outer clan member shouldn't cause the Harvey family to trouble Mr. GhostHealer and you."
Jeremy nodded, "Alright, you go to the Harvey Manor and see what they have to say."
