Chapter 1228 The Secret Of Shin
Those were startling words.
The old monk turned out to be Shin Jadeson who had once been a commander and was supposed to be dead. When Sasha and Sebastian found out about the truth, they had been surprised.
Now, Eddie was saying that he was the one who kept Shin in the temple.
What’s going on?
What other secrets does he have? How did he survive back then?
All the screaming questions in Sasha’s head made her halt in her tracks. She wanted to hear what else that man would say.
Then, she saw the face of the old monk in grey clothes turn ashen after Eddie’s speech.
However, he soon recovered.
“Regardless of who had arranged for me to stay here, you are now standing on the ground of a millennium-old temple, and you’re facing the statue of the god that has been worshipped for thousands of years. God will not let an executioner like you rule this world.”
“Is that so? Why don’t I burn it down then?”
No one expected that Eddie would be mad enough to say that.
Meanwhile, Sasha’s heart leaped to her throat.
She had noticed that many were swarming toward the temple with guns and gasoline. It seemed like they were determined to raze the temple to the ground.
However, an astonishing situation soon happened.
Although many statues and altars were destroyed, other than the few monks that had been caught in the beginning, no one else was around after those people entered.
When Eddie noticed this, a murderous look entered his eyes as his hand moved toward his gun. “Quite impressive to escape from right under my nose. Seems like I have underestimated you. Shin, have you planned this with your son all along?”
From afar, Sasha blanched.
Still remaining as calm as ever, the old monk who was once Shin said, “No. Until now, he still has no idea that I’m his dead father.”
“Really?” Eddie questioned.
Shin answered, “Yes. Shin is dead. He died thirty-two years ago, so there’s no point for us to reunite. Now, the one standing before of you is nothing but a pawn of yours.”
“So you still remember that you’re my pawn?”
“Of course. How could I not? This is your headquarters. If I don’t, you’d have been exposed to the world a long time ago,” Shin casually noted.
By then, Sabrina and Edmund had caught up with Sasha, and they, too, were dumbfounded upon hearing Shin’s and Eddie’s words.
“What does he mean? Does he mean that he’s in league with that old b*stard?” Sabrina gasped.
Edmund frowned.
It seemed that there was no other explanation than what Sabrina had said.
No wonder Sebastian couldn’t find these people’s base. It turns out that their headquarters is in this temple. It also makes sense now that the old monk could bring Sebastian here.
He wasn’t getting out of danger back then.
He was getting locked up in these people’s base.
Cold sweat began soaking their backs, for they had been doing many secretive things in this temple back then. It was nothing short of a miracle that they had not been found out.
“Well then, I’ll let you off the hook today. As long as you hand over that woman, I won’t lay a finger on you or the monks.”
Eddie was backing down a little. As long as Shin handed Sasha over to him, he would let him and the other monks go.
Sasha’s expression darkened.
At the same time, Sabrina shot out a free arm to grab Sabrina’s and hissed, “You’re the one he wants. Let’s leave now.”
Edmund agreed, “She’s right. He’s going to use you to blackmail Sebastian. We can’t let him get his way.”
However, Sasha remained frozen in place.
“Didn’t I tell you that I don’t know where she is? She hasn’t been in the temple for a long while. Besides, since Sebastian’s waging this long, complex game with you, do you really think he won’t make some arrangements to keep his wife safe?” Shin responded.
Right then, every individual by the temple entrance spotted the flicker of wrath in Eddie’s eyes. Without any hesitation, Eddie raised the gun that he had been fidgeting with and aimed it at Shin.
“Master!”
“Wait!”
The few monks behind Shin cried out for him at the same time a woman’s voice rang out from outside.
Everyone turned toward the voice, including Eddie and Shin.
What they never expected was to see the woman they were looking for running toward them.
“Why are you here? Who told you to come?” Shin growled.
It was the first time he had ever been so furious toward Sasha. Even his mustache was trembling.
