Pillar of Yita

She looked at Master Pudra and spoke methodically: ”A few photos don’t prove anything; it’s just a coincidence. Ragnarok can testify that Mr. Ade was with our Chairman throughout his time in Dulun, with absolutely no possibility of being involved in these illegal activities.”

Fang Hong looked at the lady with a bit of surprise.

Unexpectedly, she was not only meticulous and thorough in her work, but also lied without changing her expression.

When was he ever with Odin around Dulun? Isn’t that pure nonsense? Of course, he’s not stupid; he knows full well that she’s covering for him, so naturally, he wouldn’t come out and tear it apart.

However, Master Pudra only squinted his eyes upon hearing this.

He interrupted solemnly: ”Your testimony probably doesn’t prove anything. After all, this person is now representing you in the competition, and is related to your interests. Who knows whether he has reached some agreement with Odin?”

Soul Fingerprint was momentarily stunned.

But she quickly reacted, speaking in a deep voice: ”Master Pudra, are you saying our Chairman is lying?”

Master Pudra let out a cold laugh: ”I wouldn’t dare question the King of Warriors. Alright, out of respect for Mr. Odin, as long as he personally says this has nothing to do with him, I’ll immediately retract my words and apologize.”

Soul Fingerprint felt slightly suspicious in her heart, but nodded nonetheless, taking out the Communication Crystal and said: ”Please wait a moment.”

But Fang Hong felt his heart skip a beat at this scene.

He had dealt with the Dragon Worship Sect countless times and was well aware of their methods. Without absolute certainty, they would never speak so definitively.

Sure enough, Soul Fingerprint soon showed a look of surprise.

She tried several contact methods, but the Communication Crystal consistently returned a busy tone. Helpless, she had to switch to the officer’s channel and asked: ”Does anyone know where the Chairman went? It’s urgent.”

But the information that came back made her heart sink.

”The Chairman and people from the Super Competitive League have left.”

”We can’t get in touch with him for now either.”

”When will he be back?”

”I don’t know.”

Soul Fingerprint held the Communication Crystal, hesitantly looked at Master Pudra: ”Can we wait a bit longer?”

Master Pudra let out a cold laugh, not answering, and instead looked to the Old Speaker nearby.

The old man frowned and asked in a deep voice: ”Pudra, let’s put this matter aside for now. You said Mr. Ade is involved with the Dragon Worship Sect. Are you clear about what you’re saying? Do you have concrete evidence?”

He didn’t care about the Dulun riot; anyone with intentions knew what that was about. But the latter was very different. Since the Battle of Bain, the Southern Region had long been plagued by the Dragon Worship Sect’s infiltration, only improving slightly after Prince Coleman purged the region.

But for these old-timers, they naturally remembered how things were before.

Pudra, unhurriedly, pulled out a stack of documents from beneath the Wanted Order: ”Here I have a testimony from a Ragnarok member, the person claims they were attacked in the Ash Woods, and after the incident, people were sent from Tulip Fortress to investigate and found a large amount of dark aura residue at the scene.”

He looked at Fang Hong, speaking slowly: ”And the person testifies that one of the attackers was Mr. Ade, and the Guardian Officer of Tulip Fortress can also testify.”

Fang Hong bowed his head in thought and then recalled the matter.

He couldn’t help but look angrily at Soul Fingerprint; it was clearly Ragnarok members themselves who caused trouble, yet these guys played the victim first? As for the dark aura residue at the scene, he knew very well it was the Shadow of Nicopolis left behind.

Soul Fingerprint clearly understood this too and quickly replied: ”That incident was just a misunderstanding, Master Pudra. Afterward, we conducted our own investigation, and it had nothing to do with Mr. Ade at that time.”

Master Pudra gave her a deep look, replying: ”Of course, it’s your own matters; you can investigate however you like.”

But the Old Speaker interrupted him: ”Pudra, this truly doesn’t count as concrete evidence.”

Pudra wasn’t surprised, let out a cold laugh, and said: ”Then, might I ask if everyone still remembers the report stating the presence of Dragon Worship Sect activity in the Blood Thistle Woods a year ago?”

The Old Speaker nodded; at that time, at least three Natives and several Holy Chosen lost their lives, and also the Natives lost Starlight—this is typical of the Dark Giant Dragon’s Strength, but it wasn’t made public then to prevent panic.

But for those in high positions like them, this was no secret.

”Before this, there were also reports of Mr. Ade being seen around the Blood Thistle Woods. I have no other views, just feel isn’t this too coincidental?”

The Old Speaker turned back to look at him.

But Fang Hong wasn’t foolish. He immediately responded: ”Dare I ask Master Pudra, is there any way to travel from Golande to the Southern Region without passing through Masongke Creek?”

The Old Speaker nodded at these words: ”Pudra, is there more definitive evidence?”

Pudra looked at the old guy, knowing full well why he favored the young man—it was nothing more than because of that little girl from the Albert Family. He patted the photos in his hand: ”No, so it’s just suspicion.”

But he immediately added: ”Yet this Wanted Order is absolutely genuine, since Odin also can’t testify for him, we can’t possibly allow a person with blemishes to participate in the competition. Therefore, I suggest first canceling Ragnarok’s record and letting Mr. Ade move to Elfendo, awaiting further results, is that alright?”
