Chapter 1777: Chapter 1777: Upholding Justice Over Family Ties
“Check the surveillance!”
Brant Fairbanks roared, scaring Han Caldwell into a pale complexion, and his tongue instantly tied itself into a knot.
“If it were sothing else, Ocean Academy wouldn’t mind. But the stolen item is the Ocean Jade! The Dean’s token!”
He raised the jade in his hand and said coldly, “If it’s used by soone with ill intent, it would cause massive upheaval in the martial arts community! It could even ruin Ocean Academy’s reputation!”
After his words, the venue fell into silence.
No one wasn’t worried about this matter.
All present were bigwigs in the martial arts community, naturally understanding the consequences of a Sect Leader’s token being stolen.
With the token, entering a sect would be like entering uninhabited territory.
Want to steal scriptures or assassinate so people, it would be incredibly easy!
“No need to check.” Han Caldwell stood up and walked to Brant Fairbanks: “Today, Coldna’s visit to the Gray Wolf Pavilion was my idea. But the purpose was to have a talk between West Tower and Olindo Caldwell about marriage. Does Dean Fairbanks suspect that I bear ill intent towards you?”
A granddaughter, Han Caldwell could not care about.
That’s a generation off.
But a son is his own flesh and blood!
Now Brant Fairbanks wants to fra his son; Han Caldwell couldn’t possibly sit idly by.
“Not necessarily!” Brant Fairbanks didn’t back down in the slightest. Instead, he faced Han Caldwell head-on, unyieldingly saying: “Since this morning, from the arena to now, you have been wanting to destroy Ocean Academy at every mont! I know you’re envious, Han Caldwell, and I also know you’re jealous of us, worried that Ocean Academy could replace you at any ti.”
These words hit deep within Han Caldwell’s heart.
That’s exactly what he was worried about.
But no matter what, he couldn’t admit it!
“Brant Fairbanks, we’re all working for the holy lord, be mindful of your words.” Han Caldwell countered sharply.
“Now, how do you explain this? Or rather, your son stole the Ocean Jade, what are you planning to do?”
Today, Brant Fairbanks must kill Coldna!
This was the opportunity given by West Tower, and he must grasp it!
To let off steam!
“There are other circumstances.” Han Caldwell turned around, looking at Coldna: “Tell , was it really you?”
“No, father, I am wronged.” Coldna panicked; that jade was clearly given by West Tower, how did it turn into the Dean’s token?
“In the afternoon… when I took West Tower to find Hayden Caldwell, it was West Tower that gave it to . If you don’t believe , you can ask West Tower!”
After these words, Han Caldwell’s face changed instantly.
Is there even a need to ask?
It’s clear that the other side is setting a trap to fra his foolish son!
“How could a Sect Leader’s token be on ?” Julius Reed sat in his place, saying calmly: “If Young Master Coldna doesn’t want to confess, there is no need to fra . To be honest, I have no ties to the Caldwell Family, why would I give you such a valuable thing? Besides, how could the Sect Leader’s token be in my possession?”
Finished!
Coldna slumped in his chair, trembling as he raised his hand: “You frad …”
“The one who harms others will eventually harm themselves.” Julius Reed didn’t even glance at him, sipping his wine leisurely.
Only by killing Coldna could the conflict be completely aggravated.
Moreover, since it was Coldna’s bad idea and wanted to trick him, he should be prepared to face the backlash.
In this world, there’s no reason to get hit without hitting back.
“Without rules, nothing can be accomplished.” As if wanting to beat soone while they’re down, Julius Reed turned his head, looking at Han Caldwell, and said slowly: “An alliance must have rules. Otherwise, with hundreds of sects, how can they be restrained? A scattered mob can’t win.”
“Indeed, there must be rules! Or, if there’s a conflict between us, there must be a fair place for addressing issues.”
“With so many people gathered together, there needs to be a place for diation or rules. Otherwise, it’ll just be chaos.”
Martial artists strongly agreed with this statent.
Since they ca to Boulevard Mountain to support the Holy Lord, they were clearly here to make achievents and receive rewards in the future.
If there were no rules, all benefits would be taken by the big sects, what about the smaller ones?
Working in vain?
Clearly, rules are needed to bind them.
“During the day, you broke the arena’s rules, allowing Franco Tennyson to co down and try to kill , and I didn’t care.” Julius Reed stood up, staring into Han Caldwell’s eyes: “But now, your son has stolen my academy’s treasure, do you still want to break the rules? If so, Ocean Academy will withdraw from the alliance!”
“Indeed, we will withdraw from the alliance!”
Brant Fairbanks echoed.
For a mont, he almost doubted if he really was the Sect Leader.
How co everything was said by West Tower?
He, instead, beca the echo?
darn it, rebellion?
But with the current situation, one must admit that every step West Tower took was correct.
Now, pressuring for abdication!
“Caught red-handed; if Mr. Caldwell continues to shield him, it will chill our hearts.”
Brant Fairbanks finished speaking, and smiled, “If I rember correctly, theft is a capital cri. However, Mr. Caldwell has made indelible contributions to the alliance. Making an exception to spare your son’s life is not impossible.”
After those words, Han Caldwell’s face looked even worse!
Make an exception?
Not even having fought with Demarco Mount, a precedent is set?
The loss from breaking rules far surpasses Coldna’s life!
Han Caldwell was no fool; he would definitely not be the target!
Words would only fall into the hands of others!
“Brant Fairbanks, are you determined to force my son to death today?”
Han Caldwell, enraged, laughed instead, occasionally glancing at Julius Reed.
A setup!
Want Coldna’s life?
All in front of the world’s martial artists?
Fine!
He would not let them have their way!
“Coldna’s life is in your hands.” Brant Fairbanks clasped his hands behind his back, saying calmly: “I won’t insist.”
“Father, please save !” Coldna exclaid, as if grasping at a lifeline! “As long as you speak, you can preserve my life!”
At the brink of life and death, no one isn’t afraid!
Even if Coldna were a fool, he’d know he’d been set up!
He couldn’t produce any evidence proving the jade was given by West Tower, and there was no surveillance at the teahouse door.
No way to defend himself!
The opponent had already dug a pit, waiting for him to jump in!
The only hope for survival now was Han Caldwell!
“Brant Fairbanks, I will rember this account!” Han Caldwell placed one hand on his waist, his eyes fixated on Brant Fairbanks.
No way to defend himself!
He sowhat regretted, ultimately underestimating Ocean Academy.
Since the other side set the trap to take his hand, what else wouldn’t they dare do?
“Father, father save …” Coldna perspired profusely in his panic.
“Sorry.” Han Caldwell closed his eyes, his hand thrusting the longsword straight into Coldna’s heart!
“Pfft!”
Coldna, who was shouting, shivered, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He never imagined his father would personally kill him.
“Well done!” Witnessing this scene, Brant Fairbanks led the applause: “Mr. Caldwell acts nobly, such a person is well-suited to be a commander!”
Applause echoed within Dark Moon Palace.
Han Caldwell withdrew his sword, glanced at Julius Reed, and returned to his seat.
