223 Larken Clans Narrow-Minded Fool (1/2)

Although that last step was rather quick, he couldn't do it while waiting for Herken to call everyone, so he stopped thinking about that and left the tent.

He didn't collect anything from those corpses because it would be too disrespectful towards the Larken Clan. After all, for those young geniuses, almost all their belongings were obtained thanks to the Larken Clan, so it was normal that they wanted them back because although Yale killed them, it was with the permission of the Larken Clan. It was different than when he killed a random bandit in his travels outside Sword City.

Once Yale went outside, almost everyone was already there, and a minute later, Herken started to explain the situation.

”After their betrayal, it has also been confirmed that their three factions are implicated in the betrayal. You must avoid anyone from those factions from now on, or you might be marked as traitors.”

Those were Herken's last words for his explanation.

The members of the Larken Clan were having difficulties in assimilating the whole explanation; they couldn't believe that three of their companions betrayed the clan trying to kill Lar at night and that their entire factions were implicated.

”I don't believe that they are traitors. They probably just entered into the tent to ask something, and that criminal killed them. Everyone knows that he is a wanted criminal from the Zhan Clan, our Larken Clan helped him because he is Lar's fiancé, but it is obvious that he is the true culprit and our members all are innocent. It is impossible that a traitor appears on our clan. This is a complot to harm our Larken Clan!”

A member of the Larken Clan who was at the 3-star Practitioner Rank pointed out at Yale while saying those words. He was even more strict with the rules than the usual in the Larken Clan; he thought that everyone inside the clan was righteous and any outsider under the slightest suspicion of being the culprit of any crime was a criminal.

He didn't like the fact Yale was traveling with them, nor that he was engaged to the Larken Clan, but he didn't dare to contradict the higher-ups. However, after the death of three members of the Larken Clan, he was sure that Yale was the true culprit and they died due to Yale's plot.

”Are you also a traitor? So, even your faction betrayed us...”

Herken looked at that guy with a deadly glare; since he couldn't use the method to recognize the marks on the soul anyone who was on the side of those three was a traitor for him.

”I am not a traitor. You are just blind! That bastard is a wanted criminal, and he is the true culprit who wants to destroy our Larken Clan! We should capture him and gave him to the Zhan Clan for a trial and execution.”

Yale sighed because he knew that the one who spoke wasn't a traitor just someone blind by the reputation of the Larken Clan who had turned an extremist. Sometimes being extremely rightful could turn people into narrow-minded fools.

He asked for a trial, but also for an execution; he had determined that Yale should die because he was the culprit before investigating anything just because the Zhan Clan had put a bounty for his head.

”Try to touch him, and I swear that you will have a painful death at my hands.”

Before Yale could reply, Lar jumped into the front of that guy and pointed her sword toward the guy who wanted to sell Yale to the Zhan Clan. However, that just worsened the situation.

”See! Even Lar had been corrupted by him! Those three tried to kill Lar because she is the true traitor to the clan, and they knew it! Senior Herken, please hear me, we need to capture those two and kill them after a trial; they are criminals.”

Herken was seriously thinking in beating that guy; he had been together with Yale the whole time, and he had agreed to everything that happened that night; Yale couldn't be blamed for anything, and calling Yale a criminal who plotted against the Larken Clan was the same as saying that Herken betrayed the Larken Clan.

Moreover, Herken had heard how vicious those three were, and everything was recorded, even in a trial Yale would be considered innocent as long the one doing the trial wasn't as foolish as that guy who considered someone culprit without investigating anything.
