Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 980: Chapter 978: Reversing the True Culprit (Part Four) Chapter 980: Chapter 978: Reversing the True Culprit (Part Four) Professor Viron’s sudden accusation undoubtedly shocked everyone.

Everyone there had some ability to read expressions, and this man, from the moment he sat down until now, seemed calm but was constantly holding back, even when another Demigod from Divine Ashes Institute stood up, he did not offer his support.

Such a posture was not one of relief but rather made everyone feel anxious, like a ticking time bomb, worrying when it might suddenly explode.

As it turned out, this concern was valid; the only surprise was that the outburst was directed towards his own people?

Professor Ni, who had just single-handedly raised doubts, had an expression that was as spectacular as it could be.

“Why would you think like that… I don’t understand…”

“Really don’t understand? Haha…”

Facing Professor Ni’s question, gritted with even a hint of grievance, Viron coldly smiled, completely unmoved.

“You were not bad yourself, although slightly extreme in character; before Ian arrived, you were one of the people I had the highest hopes for at Divine Ashes Institute. Who could have imagined you would be this narrow-minded!”

“What do you mean, Viron?”

Suddenly backstabbed, Professor Ni was completely dumbfounded, and Professor Yang, who had just been asked to be quiet, finally couldn’t hold back.

“I just don’t want to be used.”

Viron gave an icy look, his gaze so fierce and deadly that Professor Yang was forcibly silenced again.

“You know you cannot compare to Li Weixuan in terms of Talent, and you have been rather low-profile over the years. However, Ian’s joining made you unable to bear it.”

Viron turned his gaze back to Professor Ni, his words evidently hitting right where it hurt as the latter’s face turned red with emotion.

And Li Weixuan, whom Viron had subtly praised, was frowning thoughtfully at that moment, not in a hurry to stop the situation that was gradually getting out of control.

“That banquet Professor Fu mentioned earlier was your doing, wasn’t it?”

Under such circumstances, Viron did not hesitate to start guessing the story.

“Previously blinded by obsession, now that I think about it, it’s not strange at all. Those in a hurry for quick success and lacking in confidence often choose unscrupulous means.”

“You tried to undercut Ian forcefully with this method, and it was all going smoothly, but one day you found out that someone from the Punishment Department was secretly investigating.”

“And your response, you even admitted it just now.”

“Considering the serious consequences you might face, you had a brainwave and decided to kill two birds with one stone.”

“Knowing all about Ian, it was too easy for you to impersonate him, and it’s likely that when you started doing this, you subconsciously did so.”

“In the end, Professor Fu, following the false traces you left, was gradually led to focus on Ian, and you even deliberately sculpted the situation to seem desperately urgent, leaving Professor Fu no time to consider too much.”

“Such meticulous thought, truly worthy of the renown of Divine Ashes Institute!”

Viron spoke with continuous cold laughter.

“But Professor Viron, as Professor Fu has already pointed out, Ian himself admitted that he was the one who did it…”

The reversal was too brutal, and as the person involved, Professor Ni seemed at a loss on how to refute.

Instead, the person next to Li Weixuan took the initiative to point out the contradiction in Viron’s deduction, enlightening everyone.

It really seemed to be the case!

After all, the saying “love is immortal in memory” indeed left a deep impression.

Haha…

Faced with such doubts, Old Master Viron’s laughter sounded desolate.

“This is the horrifying part of being plotted against by one of your own.”

“Ian may appear mild, but he has the pride of a clever person. Faced with baseless accusations, cooperating nicely to explain is unlikely; moreover, given the critical situation, a conflict might arise, but of course, what’s most important…”

Viron’s look at Professor Ni was already murderous.

“With your meticulous mind, to ensure foolproof success, you probably already tampered with Ian beforehand.”

“This wouldn’t be difficult; asking for his help to test some idea, he would likely not refuse… And some psychological suggestions, without active suspicion, are also not likely discovered afterward.”

“In the end, when the crisis was averted, and even an annoying competitor was eliminated, it’s a perfect end, isn’t it?”

“Impossible… I would absolutely never do such a thing!”

Faced with such severe accusations, a dazed Professor Ni finally erupted, his voice shrill.

“Don’t speak yet.”

Of course, this kind of meaningless protest was quickly stopped by a figure on the presiding board.

After signaling the now involved Professor Ni to be quiet, this figure frowned and looked at Viron.

“But if really as you said, why would Professor Ni suddenly jump out earlier?”

Undoubtedly, this was a very clear point of doubt. If everything was his plot, the conclusion was nearly final earlier; he should already be thinking about where to celebrate, so why would he suddenly sing such a strong counter-tune?

“That’s because he knows full well that Divine Ashes would not accept that outcome.”

Old Master Viron, showing no signs of hesitation, clearly had figured out the answer long ago.

“Regardless of how decisive the situation appeared, we would definitely find out the truth, meaning he was always at risk of being exposed… and most importantly, Professor Fu Qian vanished suddenly after performing his duty.”

“I believe that during this time, Professor Ni must have struggled countless times over this.”

“This situation, clearly beyond control, forced him to consider the worst-case scenario, and eventually, he chose to repeat his old tricks… and we all became tools being used by him.”

Staring at Professor Ni, Viron spoke fiercely.

“Once the news of Professor Fu’s return spread, your reaction was the biggest among everyone at Divine Ashes; at first, I thought you were eager to clear Ian’s innocence…”

“And when others merely suggested getting in touch with Professor Fu to clarify the truth earlier, you came right out and suggested, even if Professor Fu didn’t admit it, to firmly imprint this information in his mind, thereby minimizing the impact on Divine Ashes… Do you dare say you didn’t suggest this?”

Could there really be such a thing? It really was Professor Ni’s style!

Listening to all this, Professor Fu Qian, who had been merely watching, couldn’t help but admire what he heard.

From the prior contact with the Kamakura Family, it was evident this person was decisive and result-oriented.

Moreover, the power of the mind is indeed potent, motivated by the Clear Dream Ring, Old Master Viron’s conjectures hit the right spot!

“But do you know? With all your plans and calculations, your biggest mistake was what?”

Viron was now at the peak of his momentum, pointing at Professor Fu Qian.

“You exploited someone you shouldn’t have. The supposedly irrefutable doubt you thought you found in Professor Fu previously, the answer is actually very simple—A Demigod at full power can kill Ian at that fast speed.”
