Awakening the War God novel Chapter 147

Chapter 147 The Truth Revealed

"This is impossible!" Santos exclaimed anxiously. "It's impossible for Senator Sullivan to have taken the Blood Scripture. I can believe that the Davis family is involved with foreign forces, but Senator Sullivan can't possibly work for them."

"He is holding the position he has today because his family was part of the revolution and made great sacrifices for the founding of the nation.

"Besides, I know Senator Sullivan quite well. He may be a bit ambitious, but betraying his country? I absolutely don't believe it."

But Zoe calmly replied, "To use results to trace back to the cause is inherently inaccurate. Even if Senator Sullivan took the Blood Scripture, we cannot say that he is working for foreign forces.

"All we can say is that Senator Sullivan's actions led to the current results.

"The only reason the results align with the goals of foreign forces is simply a coincidence.

"Surveillance cameras are inanimate objects that cannot lie. The fact that nobody touched the box on that day means that the Blood Scripture had already been lost before then.

"We must hold this premise unshakable.

"Following the timeline backward, the last person to touch the Blood Scripture was Senator Sullivan.

"You mentioned earlier that when Senator Sullivan checked the Blood Scripture, it was still there.

"This contradicts the fact that the Blood Scripture was still inside the box during the time that nobody touched it, so it shouldn't have been lost.

"So, the contradictory point is not what it appears to be on the surface.

"If the surveillance footage is authentic, then it means that Senator Sullivan's statement that the Blood Scripture was still there is false.

"In other words, Senator Sullivan took the Blood Scripture.

"Just now, you mentioned that while Senator Sullivan was inspecting the Blood Scripture, you staged events such as power outages and sudden attacks. That was the perfect opportunity, and I think it was during that time when he took the Blood Scripture.

"That's what caused the Blood Scripture to disappear the next afternoon when you opened the box."

Santos was swayed.

He wasn't so certain anymore.

Looking back, Senator Sullivan did have the opportunity to take the Blood Scripture during the walkthrough.

Especially during the power outage, Senator Sullivan was closest to the box that contained the Blood Scripture.

After being silent for a while, he couldn't help but say, "But why would Senator Sullivan do this? Yesterday, he and I were both scolded by the leaders of the national assembly.

"If Senator Sullivan isn't in cahoots with foreign forces, why would he take the Blood Scripture and let it affect his career?"

It didn't make sense.

Zoe replied, "As I just said, Senator Sullivan's reason for taking the Blood Scripture wasn't to steal it, let alone to do the bidding of foreign forces.

"Perhaps Senator Sullivan was protecting the Blood Scripture."

"Protecting the Blood Scripture?" Santos was stunned.

This kind of reasoning was simply unimaginable.

But Gabriel finally understood and nodded in realization. "Zoe means that Senator Sullivan had come up with a plan to protect the Blood Scripture himself. That is, he took the Blood Scripture away before Robin Hood could do it.

"In doing so, Robin Hood's theft plan would surely fail because the Blood Scripture was no longer in the exhibition room.

"After Robin Hood fails, Senator Sullivan can take out the Blood Scripture and claim credit for protecting the artifact.

"This matter must be kept secret and cannot be made known to outsiders. Therefore, he used the excuse of checking on the artifact to take the Blood Scripture, using his position to do so during the walkthrough.

"So, the next day, when you opened the box, it was empty."

After being guided by Zoe, he finally sorted out the situation.

However, Santos still found it hard to believe and asked skeptically, "Even if that's true, why hasn't Senator Sullivan produced the Blood Scripture yet? Robin Hood hasn't come, and Senator Sullivan has already suffered enough from being scolded by the leaders of the national assembly."

"I'm afraid the Blood Scripture is no longer in Senator Sullivan's hands." Gabriel sighed.

Zoe echoed, "Yes, the Blood Scripture is lost. That's why Senator Sullivan couldn't reveal the truth. Once he does, the responsibility falls solely on him. It's all because of his stubbornness and self-will that resulted in the loss of Blood Scripture.
