Chapter 1076 - 1076 – No Way (1/2)
After Broad Walker left, the actual interrogation took place.
”What have you done to my junior brother?” Power Walker asked.
”Nothing,” Gravis answered in a relaxed manner. ”He stole from me, and I stopped him.”
”Lies!” Power Walker shouted. ”Prove it!”
”I have not lied,” Gravis said with the Law of Honesty.
The Law of Honesty washed over the two present people.
Silent Walker's expression didn't change.
Power Walker's eyebrows furrowed.
Then, Power Walker turned to Silent Walker. ”Has your recounting of the events been accurate?” he asked.
”Yes,” Silent Walker answered.
The fluctuations of a Law could be felt, and Gravis raised an eyebrow.
”So that's it,” Power Walker said as he looked at Gravis. ”You think I will fall for your Law of Lies!?”
Gravis blinked a couple of times in confusion.
Was that guy stupid?
Silent Walker had been the one using the Law of Lies. Power Walker's Will-Aura should be powerful enough to feel the difference between the Law of Honesty and the Law of Lies.
One thing felt white, while the other thing felt black.
Gravis' Will-Aura was more powerful than Silent Walker's, which was why he had been able to see that Silent Walker had used the Law of Lies. Although, Gravis could have also realized that by simply thinking about his own perception and the truth.
”Your junior brother is using the Law of Lies, not me,” Gravis answered with the Law of Honesty.
Power Walker looked at Silent Walker.
”I'm using the Law of Honesty,” Silent Walker said calmly while activating the Law of Lies.
Power Walker looked back at Gravis. ”Do you think I'm stupid?” he asked with narrowed eyes. ”I have a perfect comparison here. My junior brother is using the Law of Honesty, and your Law feels different from his Law. So, when my junior brother is telling the truth, you can only be spouting lies.”
'That guy's so far gone, it's not even funny anymore,' Gravis thought. 'The dude's literally saying that black is white and white is black.'
”What do you want?” Gravis asked. ”You paid so much money for that interrogation thing. So, what's your plan? What do you want from me?”
Gravis still didn't know why they actually wanted to interrogate him. After all, if they wanted to kill him, they could have simply sent some Star God. In their minds, a Star God should be powerful enough to take care of a Peak Immortal Emperor, even if they felt very powerful.
So, why waste so much money?
Power Walker glanced at Silent Walker.
Power Walker had gotten Gravis in front of Silent Walker.
This was Silent Walker's revenge, not Power Walker's revenge.
Power Walker wouldn't involve himself in Silent Walker's revenge. He only gave him the opportunity to grasp it.
Silent Walker walked up to Gravis' cage and looked at him with cold eyes.
”Your life is in my hands,” he said after some time.
”You want another demonstration?” Gravis asked with a smirk.
Silent Walker's right eyelid twitched for a second. ”You know what I mean. You might be able to scare me with your powers, but you can't kill me as long as my senior brother is here.”
”However, you are only safe for the next five years. After that, we can simply send one of our Vice-Sect Masters to take care of you. In front of a Star God, you are helpless,” Silent Walker said with authority.
”So, you're saying that you got me here just to give me a chance to survive?” Gravis asked. ”You spent 50,000 God Stones to give your enemy a chance of survival? You're truly a saint.”
Silent Walker didn't react to Gravis' provocation.
”Killing you might give me some momentary satisfaction, but it won't help me in becoming more powerful. Sometimes, cooperation is better than enmity.”
”Oh, is that an ultimatum?” Gravis asked.
”Yes,” Silent Walker answered, annoyed at Gravis not taking the situation seriously.
”So? What do you want?” Gravis asked with a smile as he leaned his head on one of his hands.
”I want you to pay my bail, your own Interrogation Warrant, and 200,000 God Stones for your own life. That's a total of 350,000 God Stones. If you pay that, we can forget these things,” Silent Walker said.
”350,000 God Stones is quite a bit,” Gravis commented. ”What makes you think I have so much money?”
”Because of your background,” Silent Walker said.
