Chapter 157 Disbandment
In short, under the influence of various interests, many forces in Ginza stood on the side of the Radiant Knights and the Inquisition.

On the surface, they strongly condemned the heinous acts of explosion and killing, but secretly, they also expressed their support to the Knights of Radiance and the Inquisition.

Except for the forces that support thorough investigation and liquidation, other forces basically choose to remain neutral and prepare to watch the show.

With the support of so many forces, wouldn't the Radiant Knights and the Inquisition turn Ginza upside down?
Just when they thought that the furious Radiant Knights and the Inquisition would quickly send out a large number of teams to track down the murderer, the Radiant Knights and the Inquisition did not do so.

The New East District was reopened after being blocked for less than half a day, and the alchemy workshop was operating as usual. Except for a slight decrease in output, there was almost no change.

As for the much-anticipated Radiant Knights and the Inquisition, apart from increasing the number of personnel stationed in the New East District, everything is normal as usual.

Although we didn’t see the content that everyone wanted to see, this eerie silence still made people puzzled.

The Radiant Knights and the Inquisition will do nothing? What a joke.

Anyone who knows a little about history knows that they will definitely retaliate cruelly.

Therefore, although the Radiant Knights and the Inquisition seemed to have done nothing, this unknown situation made people feel fear and worry, and a subtle atmosphere spread throughout Ginza.

Under this delicate situation, the city defense army and the execution squad, which had often provoked the Inquisition before, subconsciously restrained themselves. The adventurers and mercenary representatives who often fought in front of the alchemy workshop also became gentle and purchased alchemy potions carefully.

If their companions who have received the alchemical potion all have positive comments about it, making it more and more attractive to them, they would not be so bold as to continue buying the alchemical potion under such a delicate situation.

In addition to the Radiant Knights and the Inquisition, the alchemist circle is also attracting much attention.

After the explosion, many people looked at them with suspicion.

As they had conflicts with the Radiant Knights and the Inquisition some time ago, and the alchemists were also defeated in the alchemical potion market, they are very likely to take action against the New East District.

But everyone felt that alchemists shouldn't be so stupid.

The alchemist circle is, after all, just a small circle. Its members are all alchemists with little combat power. Although they are relatively rich, it is, after all, just a small group that gathers together for warmth. They can usually live a prosperous life by following the rules on the surface, and by relying on the order of Ginza, they can even fight against the Radiant Knights and even the Inquisition.

However, if the alchemist resorts to private means, he will be in trouble.

The methods used in private are quite simple and crude. Assassination, fighting, poisoning, and siege are very common methods.

If they really play it this way, with the Alchemists' military strength, the Radiant Knights can send any team to kill them all.

That is to say, alchemists are usually more honest and always play according to the obvious rules of the game. They have never used such shady means to fight other forces. Therefore, under the protection of the Ginza Order, alchemists will not be assassinated.

If this explosion was caused by alchemists, then the golden body that the alchemist circle spent countless years to condense would be completely useless.

According to the unspoken rules of Ginza, as long as he is used, other forces can also use him. If this happens, the alchemist circle will be destroyed.

Moreover, the most fatal point is that even if you play it dirty, making such a big noise is prohibited.

This means that those who caused the bombing violated not only the overt rules of Ginza, but also the shadow rules of Ginza.

Alchemists shouldn't be so stupid.

So, although there were some suspicions, most of them were just suspicions, and they sent some people to try to collect intelligence.

If it was really done by alchemists, they wouldn't mind selling them for a good price. And within the alchemist circle, people were also in a panic because of the bombing.

In fact, those within their group seriously suspected that the bombing might have been caused by some idiot.

People outside may not know much about their small circle and think that there should be no such stupid guys. But, as insiders, don’t they know it clearly?
Idiots are really not rare in this circle.

As an exclusive small circle, the criteria for joining this circle is not based on ability but on background.

As long as the background is strong enough, even an alchemist apprentice can get in.

Therefore, they had no doubt that there really was an idiot who carried out the explosion in the New East District.

In fact, on the day of the explosion, many alchemists who had just heard the news fell into despair.

Back then, the old leader of the Radiant Knights was able to rush in and kill everyone without any support, let alone now. Even if the old leader came over immediately and killed everyone with one shot, they would not find it strange.

Although the old leader did not do so, and neither the Radiant Knights nor the Inquisition sent anyone to the door.

However, the strange and subtle atmosphere still put a lot of pressure on the alchemists. In this high-pressure environment, coupled with the fact that they had lost countless money and the alchemical potion market had been taken away, the various conflicts and disagreements among them quickly expanded and intensified.

From the initial quarrel, to the curse, and finally to fighting.

In order to maintain the unity of the small circle, they once again held a secret meeting.

In the dark room, the leaders of various factions sat silently in their respective seats, and no one took the initiative to speak.

In the increasingly heavy silence, the last faction leader pushed the door and walked in.

"Why are you so late?"

His arrival broke the silence, and the leading alchemist looked at him and spoke.

He didn't respond, but looked up, looked over coldly, and said expressionlessly.

"I'm here to tell you something today."

Hearing his words, everyone in the room turned their eyes to him.

He did not delay deliberately and said it coldly.

"I want to quit the Alchemy Association."

"Eh?"

The leading alchemist was stunned, his mouth opened and he let out a surprised sound.

The other alchemists in the room also looked at him with different thoughts. Some were stunned and surprised, some frowned in dissatisfaction, and some lowered their brows calmly.
