Chapter 193 - Testimonies (1/2)
”I won't ask what the hell is going on here, but I want everyone to stop and calm the fuck down!”
While this man was clearly weaker than even simple cultivators under Venna, since he was only at the developing core level, the fact that he had over fifty guards with him that were all at the level where I couldn't even gauge their strength, allowed him to speak with confidence.
Overwhelmed by the combined aura of the entire unit, everyone had to swallow their pride and step down, while keeping an eye on the other party just to make sure that no one would try to use this situation to his own advantage.
”Now, since everyone seems to regain their thinking capabilities, I want an explanation of what happened here!”
That's it, just like that. While I managed to grab the pills that Venna threw to me before I actually didn't swallow them! As soon as I caught them, I simply threw them in my storage ring, before falling down on the ground and observing how the situation would develop.
”Heavenly Sword Faction Venna is ready to explain!”
”Katenari Clan disciplinary Elder is ready to explain!”
Following some kind of the procedure, both of them slightly bowed to the mayor while putting their weapons away. As I sent a look to the Draconic butler, I could see that he only looked at the mayor with disdain before standing behind his Elder's back.
”Good then. Respectable elder, you can start with your own version.”
Gesturing him to start, the mayor sat down in a chair that one of the guards took our of his storage ring and placed right as the middle-aged official started lowering his ass.
”Honourable Mayor, the matter looks like this. When we heard about someone claiming to hail from our family, we followed the standard procedure and attempted to invite them to our clan compound to verify their blood. But this young man out there refused to cooperate, disrespected us and finally attacked us, causing the whole incident. Considering how Heavenly Sword Venna came to his aid, I'm worried that this is a plot directed against the Katenaris! I urge the Town Mayor to cut this scheme at the roots and bring back peace and prosperity to our great city!”
Hearing the explanation from the disciplinary elder, I couldn't help but marvel how on point he was with his explanation! Of course, there was no way in hell that I would ever admit to it, with how much effort and risk did I placed into bringing this plan into motion in the first place!
