Ye Huan furrowed his eyebrows even tighter, signaling Apollo to continue speaking with his eyes.

"First, the research institution under the Wisdom Divine Hall has moved to the Celestial Paradise Club in Japan, focusing on researching the green viscous liquid in the sequence laboratory branch for over three months. Given the amount of time spent, there should have been some breakthroughs, yet Athena refused to disclose the research results to anyone, including Zeus;"

"Second, all Divine Guards under the Wisdom Divine Hall are divided into two groups, guarding the inside and outside of the Celestial Paradise Club around the clock, preventing anyone and any forces from approaching. This includes me and the Sun Divine Guards under me;"

"Third, Athena secretly sent people to find the corpse of the researcher who turned into a monster, discovering that the person had 'revived'! Then secretly brought that person into the club, but she didn't mention a word to me about it, I found out by accident. I'm not sure if she mentioned it to you;"

Apollo's face was full of doubt, apparently quite puzzled by Athena's behavior.

Ye Huan furrowed his brows even more, also finding Athena's actions somewhat unusual.

Moreover, upon hearing Apollo's last example, he recalled his previous suspicions about the monster potentially "reviving," not only instructing Ye Tiance to find Su Zhiqiang's body but also directing Athena to find the researcher's body.

Ye Tiance quickly reached a conclusion, but Athena's side has not yet provided one.

At the time, Ye Huan thought the researcher had "revived" and escaped just like Su Zhiqiang.

Unexpectedly, Athena had indeed retrieved the "revived" researcher but just hadn't informed him.

This matter indeed seemed quite strange.

"When I called you, saying I would transport Su Zhiqiang and the others to Japan in a while, was Athena present?" Ye Huan inquired.

"Yes, she was present because I couldn't bear her actions anymore and broke into the club to confront her face-to-face about them."

At this, Apollo's face changed: "Could Athena have found out from our conversation that the gods Asura intercepted were impostors, and the actual bodies of those monsters are in the Capital City Celestial Prison, prompting her to seize the opportunity and send Robert to snatch them?"

"Because if you personally transport the monsters to Japan, she must subsequently provide you with research results, but if she secretly sends people to seize and study the monsters, she won't have to report to us."

"Considering her refusal to report on the research results of the green liquid, that's very likely!"

"Damn! Why is she hiding it from us? Does she not want us to know the research results to help the sequence conceal a secret? Has she truly betrayed us?!"

After one round of analysis, Apollo's face was immensely grim!

"No... it's not!" Suddenly, from inside the cell, the heavily injured Robert spoke, anxious, enduring the pain and grimacing: "Ap...Apollo, Lord God of Slaughter, I... I came to raid here because I personally betrayed and sided with the sequence. This matter has absolutely nothing to do with Lady Athena, you mustn't misunderstand her!"

Ye Huan and Apollo showed no expression, not responding to Robert.

Robert's words were clearly an attempt to take all the blame on himself, looking somewhat like he was trying to cover up. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Ye Huan took out his phone and dialed a video call to Athena, then silently pointed the camera at Robert inside the cell and the Wisdom Divine Guards.

"..."

On the other end of the phone, Athena remained silent for a long time.

"Lord Apollo, Lord God of Slaughter, it's really all my fault. I personally couldn't resist the temptation and betrayed, it has nothing to do with Lady Athena, really..."

Robert shouted loudly, but before he could finish speaking.

Athena spoke calmly and shockingly: "In this matter, the responsibility lies entirely with me. It was I who ordered the raid on the Capital City Celestial Prison, attempting to seize Su Zhiqiang and those six monsters."

Upon hearing this, Apollo was inflamed with anger: "So it was you! Athena, be honest, have you defected and colluded with the sequence?!"

Athena didn't respond, her face devoid of any emotional expression.

Meanwhile, Ye Huan glanced at Robert with the corner of his eye, clearly noticing the flash of intense guilt on Robert's face.

Ye Huan squinted his eyes into slits, what was Robert feeling guilty about?

Was it because he failed the mission, was captured, and thus exposed Athena?

Or perhaps...?

Ye Huan thought about something, keeping it hidden in his heart. He continued asking Athena: "Why did you do this? Also, may I ask you two questions, why did you forbid Apollo's people from approaching the Celestial Paradise Club, and why, after retrieving the 'revived' researcher, didn't you notify me?"

"I have my reasons for doing so."

Athena said calmly.

"Then may I ask, how is the progress of your research going? Have you discovered anything crucial?"

"No comment!"

Athena's attitude was very cold, very poor, leaving this word behind, she hung up the phone!

"Did you see that?" Beside him, Apollo was angry and gritted his teeth, "I don't know what got into Athena, suddenly becoming so difficult to speak to, her character turned bad, completely unreasonable! Through your call, I'm even more convinced of my suspicions!"

Apollo took a deep breath, speaking solemnly: "God of Slaughter, I believe Athena has already defected, we should immediately stop her research task and detain her, thoroughly investigate her!"

"No." The Muses, who hadn't voiced any opinion, spoke with a serious face: "I know Athena's character, she is loyal to the Western World, always wanting to help the Western Dark World reach greater heights, she would never betray! I think there must be some reason forcing her to act so inexplicably. It's best if we observe her for a while before making any decisions."

"Hmm, I support your view."

Ye Huan finished speaking and patted Apollo's shoulder, speaking meaningfully: "Let's not rush, let's observe her first, if she really has defected, we can definitely use her to catch some big fish."

Apollo, feeling indignant from enduring several grievances from Athena recently, was displeased with Ye Huan's decision, his face not looking well.

But after some careful thought, he calmed down and felt that Ye Huan made sense, "As one of the Twelve Celestial Gods, who drew Athena to defect would surely hold significant power and influence within the sequence, if we follow the clues to capture them, we might uncover a major breakthrough to breach the sequence's tight defenses again."

"Exactly, that's exactly what I think." Ye Huan said, squinting his eyes and glancing at Robert inside the cell once more.

Meeting Ye Huan's gaze, Robert's eyes flickered with unease and he lowered his head, not daring to meet the gaze.

"By the way, God of Slaughter, how do you plan to deal with Su Zhiqiang and the others?" Apollo asked.

Ye Huan first opened the cell door, signaling Su Zhiqiang to go in, and after he entered, slammed the door shut with a "bang," then answered: "Until Athena's background is thoroughly investigated, let's keep them confined here."

"Yes, that's the most prudent way."

Apollo and the Muses both nodded.

At this moment.

"Ring-ring-ring."

"Ring-ring-ring."

Two abrupt phone rings simultaneously sounded.

The Muses took out her phone from the pocket of her black tight pants, and upon answering, her beautiful eyebrows instantly furrowed deeply!

Apollo's reaction was identical when he answered the call!

"God of Slaughter, something unusual is happening! Those people monitored from the sequence's Middle East 'headquarters' have all set off for the sequence's 03rd base in Sydney, Kangaroo Country!"

"They have been away from the desert for several months, each scattered, laying low, now suddenly all setting off for Sydney!"

Both with heavy expressions, spoke in unison!

Ye Huan's face suddenly sank, speaking with absolute certainty: "Among the Twelve Celestial Gods, there is indeed a mole!"
