“What… What did you say?” Felix thought his hearing betrayed him, and virtual-novel.net even dug his ears. The other people at the scene also turned to look at each other.
Caspian 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 virtual-novel.net killed a peak first-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator was too unbelievable.
Moreover, Caspian 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, Caspian added, “Oh, my apologies! I must’ve said something wrong.”
Then, just as everyone looked as if they caught his bluff. They saw Caspian 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 virtual-novel.net said that, the scene fell into a dead silence. Everyone thought virtual-novel.net was just bluffing again. However, when they saw Caspian’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 virtual-novel.net be telling the truth?’
At the thought of this, they felt their hair standing on end.
Caspian turned to Felix, and virtual-novel.net 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 Caspian told the truth or a lie. He stood there unmoved, and the hand that virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net appeared extremely embarrassed.
Felix suddenly quivered, and virtual-novel.net 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 Caspian killed Harold, whereas the other was when Caspian murdered Sean, Tony, and others.
Felix sounded even more confident than before as virtual-novel.net 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 Caspian was unwilling to do as virtual-novel.net wished.
“You don’t believe me?” Caspian sneered. Just as virtual-novel.net 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 Maisie. Due to virtual-novel.net outstanding appearance, many people inquired about virtual-novel.net background in secret. However, as Maisie was not from Evergreen Town, and coupled with how the entire Oceans Chamber of Commerce deliberately hid virtual-novel.net identity, only a few people were aware of virtual-novel.net identity.
If it were not for Maisie sitting on the high platform, which showed virtual-novel.net unique identity, there would already be people flirting with virtual-novel.net because of virtual-novel.net beauty.
When everyone saw Maisie standing up to become Caspian’s witness, their expression instantly turned complicated. After all, it would require great courage for a girl to publicly announce that virtual-novel.net was with a man as it concerned one’s integrity and reputation. Regardless of its authenticity, many people turned to look at Caspian with an envious gaze after Maisie said those words.
Even Maisie started to blush after virtual-novel.net said that, and virtual-novel.net appeared even more charming than before, which made Caspian stunned by virtual-novel.net beauty.
However, when virtual-novel.net thought that Maisie was doing this to clear himself of suspicion, Caspian felt a warmth in his heart. Soon, those charming thoughts in his mind disappeared.
As his senior, Maisie was still covering Caspian up as always.
Felix was unaware of Maisie’s identity, and when virtual-novel.net saw Maisie sitting on the high platform, virtual-novel.net thought that virtual-novel.net was just another woman from one of the families. Moreover, virtual-novel.net was already sure that Caspian murdered his clansmen, so virtual-novel.net 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, Maisie 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 virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net continued being aggressive.
Caspian cast a glance at Maisie, and Maisie cast a relieved look at him. Caspian could not put his finger on it, but virtual-novel.net felt that Maisie’s gaze was somewhat playful. Regardless, it was pretty pleasing to his eyes.
Watching as Felix left the scene in livid, Caspian removed the storage pouch belonging to Zephyr from his waist
Zenith immediately recognized the storage sack at a glance, and virtual-novel.net abruptly stood as virtual-novel.net 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 Caspian’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!” Caspian 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 virtual-novel.net 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?”
