Chapter 426: Sword Pointed at Lu Kai
Sabin's affairs directly alarmed the Five Elders. What he did on Pakaleli Island shocked them greatly, and they were almost certain that Sabin was the one being punished by God.
Because the world government officials who went to trap the Divine Punishment member Tengu have already submitted the report.
In the report, the government official described the situation and Sabin's reaction in detail, and he also interrogated Sabin overnight.
However, Sabine has always insisted that he is not a person punished by God, and he insists that he was plotted against. However, he could not explain how he was plotted against and who was the plotter.
However, no one believed what Sabin said. After all, there were hundreds of people watching, so how could it be false? But if Sabin was related to the divine punishment, what about Luke?
When they thought of this, the Five Elder Stars felt a chill down their spines.
Lu Kai has always been the naval general most relied upon by the Five Elders and the Navy Headquarters, and they have always believed in Lu Kai's absolute loyalty.
But if Lu Kai really had concealed this from all of them and had a close relationship with Divine Punishment, or was even a high-ranking official of Divine Punishment, then that would be too scary. He would have fooled them all and deceived the entire world!
If this speculation is true, what is Lu Kai's purpose? What is the purpose of God's punishment? If Lu Kai really has ulterior motives, what should we do?
What worries the Five Elders the most right now is that even if they can confirm that Lu Kai really has ulterior motives, they cannot act lightly.
Because when you think about Lu Kai's invincible strength, prestige and influence, plus the many excellent subordinates he has trained, once the two sides turn against each other and have to fight to the death, it is still unknown whether it will be Lu Kai or them who will suffer in the end.
Therefore, the Five Elders can only bury everything in their hearts for the time being, and take things slowly and deal with them as a matter of urgency.
Of course, this is only the worst case scenario. It is also possible that there is something wrong with Sabine, but Lu Kai is not aware of it. This is the situation that the Five Elders most want to see.
After all, if Lu Kai were an enemy, the threat would be too great for the Five Elders to face.
However, one day after the Sabin incident, another report was submitted to the Hall of Power. The content was also about Lu Kai. After seeing the content, the Five Elders felt dizzy because the content of the report was too shocking.
So in the end, the Five Elders decided to conduct a thorough investigation of Lu Kai. Before their situation was fully clarified, they would try their best to keep him stable, but they would never let him take power again.
At this moment, the Five Elders were extremely grateful for their continuous support for Zephyr over the past year, increasing his influence and prestige, using him to divide the Navy Headquarters to check and balance Luke, and weakening Luke's influence and power.
In the eyes of the Five Elders, Zephyr is just a veteran. Given his age, his strength will soon decline. Moreover, Zephyr has no position in the Marine Headquarters now. No matter how great his influence is, he has no real power. He is the best candidate for support.
This is how the Five Elders have always thought, striving for balance and stability in everything, and to stifle any possible threats.
Eventually, the news of Sabin's arrest was reported to the Navy Headquarters at the instruction of the Five Elder Stars.
At the instruction of the Five Elder Stars, Admiral Sengoku of the Navy Headquarters urgently convened a high-level meeting of the Navy Headquarters. While informing him in detail about Sabin being a Divine Punishment spy, he also asked him to investigate other Divine Punishment spies strictly.
Because the meeting was held urgently, many high-ranking officers of the Navy Headquarters were not present, especially senior naval officers like Sulo, Kuzan and Garp who had a good relationship with Lukai. No one in the Iron Army was notified to attend the meeting, not even the soldiers who had already left the Iron Army.
In the meeting hall of the Navy Headquarters, after the meeting began, Sengoku's adjutant immediately gave a detailed report on Sabine's situation on Pakaleli Island, and also reported the results of the interrogation of Sabine by the World Government officials.
The lowest-ranking people attending the meeting were colonels of the Navy Headquarters. All the officers in the headquarters were stunned after hearing the news and were speechless.
No one expected that General Luke's second disciple, Sabin, would be punished by God. This is too unbelievable.
Has the infiltration of God's Punishment been so deep? In addition to Sabin, are there any other spies of God's Punishment in the Navy Headquarters? Sabin is a member of God's Punishment, so what about Admiral Luke?
When they thought of this, everyone felt a very strange feeling in their hearts.
Since the news that Sabin is a member of the Divine Punishment has been confirmed, can Lu Kai, as Sabin's master, stay out of it? This doubt appeared in almost everyone's mind and could not be dispelled.
Although Sabine insisted during the interrogation that he was not a person punished by God and that the truth was that he was being plotted against, his words were obviously not convincing and the situation was already clear.
The venue became extremely dull for a while.
Although many people suspect that Sabin's incident is related to Lu Kai, they hope from the bottom of their hearts that Lu Kai is innocent. Therefore, they are very conflicted inside and hope that Lu Kai can give a reasonable explanation.
"Lu Kai, what do you think about this matter?" Zhan Guo's face was also extremely ugly, and he asked Lu Kai who was sitting next to him.
After what happened to Sabin, Zhan Guo summoned Lu Kai immediately. What he didn't expect was that Lu Kai actually supported Sabin outright and firmly believed that Sabin was really being plotted against.
There are two reasons why Lu Kai said this. The first reason is because of his understanding of his disciple.
The second reason comes from Sabin's overly abnormal behavior. Even if he was punished by God, no matter how stupid he was, he would not close his eyes and rest in front of so many people when Borsalino asked for help, and pretend that he did not hear the other party for a long time. It was a bit too unreasonable.
In the past few years, Zhan Guo has come into contact with Sabine many times. In Zhan Guo's eyes, although Sabine is powerful, he is less reliable than young Garp. He is obviously not smart enough and there is a possibility that he may be plotted against.
However, Lu Kai did not have any evidence, and Sabin's performance was indeed problematic, so Zhan Guo was in a difficult situation.
According to Zhan Guo's original intention, he wanted to suppress the matter first, and then investigate it secretly before making a decision. Unexpectedly, the Five Elders directly asked him to hold a meeting to report, and clearly told Zhan Guo not to interfere with what might happen tonight.
Since the Five Elders have said so, tonight is destined to be a stormy night and something bad is bound to happen. As the Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, Sengoku has no choice but to obey even though he doesn't understand.
"Your Excellency Marshal, although this report is clear, I know nothing about the situation at the scene, so I can't make a judgment. As for Sabin," Luke paused, "he has been with me for eleven years. If he is a person under God's punishment, I can't be unaware of it. So I am more willing to believe his words and believe that he was plotted against."
Lu Kai still did not avoid the danger and spoke out what was in his mind.
At this moment, a cold voice with obvious sarcasm sounded, saying: "So, General Lu Kai is going to vouch for your good disciple Sabin?"
