Chapter 61 - Harlequin (2/2)

Lionel’s hands were flying across the huge dead bear that was like a toy in his hand. He dissected it perfectly.

He took the liver out and then cut it open.

A piece of undigested vicious beast meat lay exposed in the empty liver of the dead bear.

Excitement gleamed in Lionel’s eyes as he grabbed the vicious beast meat and said loudly, “See this? This is evidence!”

It really was evidence, a shred of rock-solid evidence.

Many members of the crowd were puzzled, but there were some with better knowledge that recognized the piece of meat. They also knew what would happen if the piece of meat was eaten raw without being cured in any kind of recipe.

Fei Long sighed.

Strictly speaking, Tang Ling’s method was not considered cheating since he definitely relied on his own wit and strength to survive up to ten minutes. After all, his opponent was the giant Leceister silverback bear.

However, with the evidence in the spotlight, pinning Tang Ling down would be unusually convenient as well. For example, Lionel could say he found out that Tang Ling brought the piece of vicious meat early on and brought it into the cage with a pre-planned scheme.

All those comments directed against Tang Ling would then have a solid reason.

“You, what else do you have to say?” Lionel subtly slid the piece of Level 3 vicious beast meat into his pocket at his chest.

Even he would shiver in excitement just because of this little morsel of resources.

Due to some personal reasons, he would have to pin Tang Ling down, but he also knew he ought to get his hands on the vicious beast meat when he realized and then confirmed that Tang Ling had brought it out.

Paying such close attention to Tang Ling proved to be extremely fruitful. He originally thought it was a piece of Level 2 vicious beast meat, but it was actually level 3!

Lionel wanted to laugh for a long time. Nonetheless, he waited patiently until now and did not stop Tang Ling because of this very outcome. It was all done so that he could be the first one to discover the vicious beast meat and according to the rules of Safety Sector No. 17, no one could snatch his spoils from him.

The clamor from the crowd grew louder as many people started to criticize Tang Ling. Their anger was quickly being fueled.

How could he jeopardize the fairness of the exam?

However, not all were blinded by the scene. At least, no one argued about the fact that Tang Ling relied on his own strength to survive for ten minutes. However, those who had a better understanding decided to shut their mouths in front of the evidence.

“Well, then…” Lionel looked at Tang Ling and cackled viciously.

Tang Ling lifted his head, his eyes covered by subtle blood veins as a cruel smile curled up. “Well, then…”

Well, then would Tang Ling forcefully resist?

Everyone was shocked. What was with Tang Ling’s smile and answer?

He did not explain or panic. What did his arrogant and blunt reaction mean other than forcefully resisting?

“You really are an arrogant bastard,” Orston gave Tang Ling a backhanded compliment since it was also the last thing he could do for him.

Before the evidence appeared, he could not seek help from his family.

Based on how the sector did things, this conflict would be eventually settled but in a muddled way. Even an idiot knew who the sector would choose when it came to Tang Ling and the Agnes family.

Likewise, Yu and Fei Long had their hands tied as well all because of the evidence.

The momentary hesitation meant that they could no longer cover Tang Ling.

Although regretful, it was not much of a concern. A dead Tang Ling would not hold any meaning, and that was the harsh reality of this era.

“If only I had done something earlier, it would’ve turned out a lot better.”

Inevitably, the three of them had the same thought rise in their mind at the same time.
