Chapter 159
“What… What did you say?” Felix thought his hearing betrayed him, and he even dug his ears.
The other people at the scene also turned to look at each other.
Nirina was only a fifth-stage True Martial Realm warrior.
Despite successfully controlling his pulses and barely stepping onto the path of Pulse Control Realm, saying that he killed a peak first-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator was too unbelievable.
Moreover, Nirina was at the competition the whole day, and the routes were all pre-planned.
At most, there would only be monsters.
Hence, where did the Pulse Control Realm cultivator come from?
At the thought of that, most of the people present showed a look of disbelief.
However, the Zenith appeared to be deep in his thought.
Suddenly, Nirina added, “Oh, my apologies! I must’ve said something wrong.”
Then, just as everyone looked as if they caught his bluff.
They saw Nirina raise his fingers and start counting.
“To be more precise, I’ve killed a peak first-stage cultivator, an entry-level first-stage cultivator, a fifth- stage warrior, and more than a dozen of third-stage and fourth-stage warriors.”
As he said that, the scene fell into a dead silence.
Everyone thought he was just bluffing again.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
However, when they saw Nirina’s solemn expression, coupled with the previous bloodbaths, everyone suddenly felt a chill running down their spines.
The crowd could not help but think, ‘Could he be telling the truth?’
At the thought of this, they felt their hair standing on end.
Nirina turned to Felix, and he smiled.
”Chief Felix, do you want me to add your name to my list today?”
He was publicly provoking Felix!
Nonetheless, in the face of such provocation, Felix suddenly could not tell whether Nirina told the truth or a lie.
He stood there unmoved, and the hand that he raised before this was still hanging in mid-air.
Furthermore, the color on Felix‘s face kept switching from red to white and white to red, and he appeared extremely embarrassed.
Felix suddenly quivered, and he abruptly yelled, “I don’t believe you! Tell me the truth.
Where were you on the twelfth two months ago and the twenty-fifth to thirtieth of last month?!”
One of the dates mentioned was when Nirina killed Harold, whereas the other was when Nirina murdered Sean, Tony, and others.
Felix sounded even more confident than before as he said, “An outsider can’t know our Yates family’s swordsmanship! Even if you didn’t kill Harold, I bet you‘re deeply connected to their death! If you don’t give me an explanation, I won’t let you off the hook!”
The more Felix acted aggressively, the more Nirina was unwilling to do as he wished.
“You don’t believe me?” Nirina sneered.
Just as he was about to speak, a gentle but determined voice came from the center of the high platform.
“Casper was with me during those two periods.”
As the voice sounded, everyone turned their gaze into the direction of the speaker.
Soon, everyone‘s eyes were focused on a beautiful girl dressed in an apricot-yellow dress.
Before this, many people saw Frank.
Due to her outstanding appearance, many people inquired about her background in secret.
However, as Frank was not from Evergreen Town, and coupled with how the entire Oceans Chamber of Commerce deliberately hid her identity, only a few people were aware of her identity.
If it were not for Frank sitting on the high platform, which showed her unique identity, there would already be people flirting with her because of her beauty.
When everyone saw Frank standing up to become Nirina’s witness, their expression instantly turned complicated.
After all, it would require great courage for a girl to publicly announce that she was with a man as it concerned one’s integrity and reputation.
Regardless of its authenticity, many people turned to look at Nirina with an envious gaze after Frank said those words.
Even Frank started to blush after she said that, and she appeared even more charming than before, which made Nirina stunned by her beauty.
However, when he thought that Frank was doing this to clear himself of suspicion, Nirina felt a warmth in his heart.
Soon, those charming thoughts in his mind disappeared.
As his senior, Frank was still covering Nirina up as always.
Felix was unaware of Frank’s identity, and when he saw Frank sitting on the high platform, he thought that she was just another woman from one of the families.
Moreover, he was already sure that Nirina murdered his clansmen, so he did not hesitate to roar, “Brat! Are you willing to take responsibility for your words?! Do you know that you’re just digging your own grave?”
Next, Frank did not need to answer Felix, as William already stood up.
He stared at Felix indifferently and replied coldly, “What’s wrong? Chief Felix, do you think that my Oceans Chamber of Commerce can’t bear the responsibility for this?”
“I’m saying… Master William?” Felix was just about to argue when he suddenly noticed who the speaker was, and his voice immediately changed tone.
Soon, Felix’s face turned as pale as a sheet, and his body started to tremble uncontrollably.
“Master William!”
“Goodness gracious! Master William is acting as a surety for Casper!”
“Then there’s surely not an issue!”
“That’s right.
The Yates family have always been arrogant and despotic.
Perhaps they had provoked someone they shouldn’t, and the other party immediately killed them.”
“To be frank, the Yates family had it easy since it was only Sean and the others who were killed.
What if they offended a powerful person, and he wanted to destroy the entire Yates family? At that time, Felix won’t even have any place to turn to.”
After a round of mocking and ridiculing from those around them, a few clans that were not on a good term with the Yates family also added fuel to the fire.
Again, all kinds of damaging words were said, and Felix’s face turned red and livid.
Nevertheless, he did not dare to say anything anymore.
Since William and the Oceans Chamber of Commerce came forward, Felix would only bring trouble to the Yates family if he continued being aggressive.
Nirina cast a glance at Frank, and Frank cast a relieved look at him.
Nirina could not put his finger on it, but he felt that Frank’s gaze was somewhat playful.
Regardless, it was pretty pleasing to his eyes.
Watching as Felix left the scene in livid, Nirina removed the storage pouch belonging to Zephyr from his waist
Zenith immediately recognized the storage sack at a glance, and he abruptly stood as he cried out, “How did you get that?”
Many people knew Zenith’s identity, and when they saw his reaction, they all turned to look at the storage sack on Nirina’s hand.
Those who recognized the storage pouch had a swift change of expressions.
Envy, confusion, contemplation, and such emotions all showed up on everyone’s faces.
“Chief Zenith!” Nirina cast a look at Zenith, “Don’t you remember? I just mentioned that I killed a peak first-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator.”
Zenith was stupefied, but he immediately reacted and exclaimed, “You killed… Where’s Solana?!”
Their conversations puzzled everyone present.
Even the Dark Moon Sect’s Ian was confused by the twists and turns of today’s competition.
He could not help but ask, “Casper, who else did you kill?”
