Chapter 194 - A Witness And An Accomplice (1/2)

”Who is he?” Darius questioned as he looked at the man that had been pushed forward by Marvin.

”A witness and an accomplice,” Marvin responded without any hesitation, ”He's the proof that I would like to present”

The witness shivered as he heard Marvin and it looked like he had been struck with fear as he knelt down and kept his face down, not even daring to say anything.

It seemed that there was something that had made the man uncomfortable. Or to be more exact, there was a particular person present here that the man did not have the courage to face.

Marvin opened his mouth to say something, but he was suddenly interrupted by Asgarian who beat him to it.

Asgarian didn't let Marvin have the chance to reveal the man's identity as he spoke, ”That's one of my most trusted men. What nonsense are you spouting?”

”That's right,” Marvin nodded his head as he spoke, ”I never said he wasn't.”

Asgarian gulped as his eyes narrowed down dangerously on Marvin, but the man said nothing more as he waited.

”I found him snooping around in the illegal auction house today. I just so happened to be in Ocasia for some business but I didn't expect him to be there as well,” Marvin lied skillfully as he explained, ”At first, I captured him because I found him suspicious, but then I recognized him. He has been working with the three willows for a really long time so I had seen him around a few times. I thought I should just let him go, but then I asked him why he was there and he revealed something that I dare not believe.”

Marvin raised his head as he scoffed and continued, ”He was there to find the rumored Orgon that had come back from the dead.”

Although the rumor was only spread in Ocasia, it had somehow entered Zeblor as well, and hence, everybody was well aware of the ridiculous story that floated around about the revived Orgon. However, till now, most people here had not dared to believe in such nonsense.

”Before I say anything further, I would like to ask one of the willows a question,” Marvin continued as he looked up at Asgarian, ”Whose orders was he following?”

Asgarian gritted his teeth as he heard this question but said nothing as a response.

Darius also looked to be confused as he followed Marvin's gaze and looked at Asgarian.

With a chuckle, Lara asked, ”Marvin, please be clear with what you want to say. Are you trying to prove that your father's death had something to do with one of us?”

Marvin chuckled dryly as he shook his head and spoke, ”I think you would naturally know the answer to that better.”

”...”

”This man came to Ocasia under the orders of one of the three willows of spring and his purpose wasn't just to meet the rumored Orgon that had come back from the dead, his goal was to kill him and silence him forever,” Marvin clicked his tongue as he spoke.

”Even if he came to check the rumors, how can you say his purpose was to kill Orgon? What proof do you have?” Darius asked with a small frown and this man genuinely looked to be interested in hearing more.

”Of course, I would know,” Marvin sighed as he revealed, ”Because I was the rumored Orgon that he had tried to kill.”

His words were like a strike of lightning that had left people stunned and speechless.

People wondered if they had heard him right and even when they were sure that they had, they still did not dare to believe his words.

All eyes turned on the man who had suddenly become a suspect.

Before the suspect could reveal anything, Asgarian gritted his teeth and stood up as he put on a show for everyone.

”You dare act on your own and think about harming someone like him?!” He snapped angrily as he acted shocked and angry.

Marvin almost wanted to laugh as he heard this.

It seemed that Asgarian was a pretty good actor and Marvin wasn't really unfamiliar with this fact.

Unexpectedly enough, Asgarian snatched a Zelium gun from one of the guards before aiming it directly at the man and shooting without any hesitation.

Marvin's eyes widened but before he could do anything, the trigger had already been pulled.

”Enough!” It was the voice of LeiLei shouting and the girl used her power to turn the bullet into a cloud.
