Chapter 135: Justifiable Homicide

  Sabonis glared at Kailer with dissatisfaction, disliking that he had tied himself to the war chariot of the Kail family. However, if he were to refute Kailer and say there was no such thing, it would be equivalent to turning against the Kail family. At that time, when the Dryad Empire demanded a thorough investigation into Roland's death, he would be even more passive.

  Sabonis let out a sigh, nodded his head with a smile towards Qianjin's energetic face, and reminded himself in his heart that as the city master, the most important thing was not to suppress all forces, which would only lead to greater backlash. Playing balance in between, getting benefits from various forces, was what a clever city master should do.

  Kai'er was quite proud of his quick wit in dragging Sabonis into the water, and a few more shades of triumph appeared on his face: "So, Dryad Guardian. Brother and sister are like mother, since Luo Qingqing's mother and brother have already returned to the arms of the stars, then Miss Zhu Lisi indeed has the right to make decisions for her..."

  Lu Qingqing hugged Lu Jing, her footsteps lightly shifting as she nestled herself behind his broad back, waiting for this man who was like a great mountain shielding her from the wind and rain to respond.

  Brother said that everything must believe in Gan Jing! Luo Qingqing hugged Luo Jing tightly again, even if brother didn't tell me this way, I would still completely believe him.

  Hiding behind Gan Jing, Luo Qingqing felt a sense of security she had never experienced before. It was as if even if the sky were to collapse, this man in front of her could raise his hand and hold up the falling sky, definitely not letting it harm her in the slightest.

  "What's Zhu Lisi?" Qian Jin patted Luo Qingqing's arm reassuringly: "If you're talking about this, then we can leave." "You..." Kailuo didn't expect the city master to withdraw, and instead said such a thing. His pleading eyes quickly turned to Sabonis.

  Sabonis shot a glance at Kayler, his eyes flashing with anger. He took a cautious step forward, careful not to cross the line between life and death. It wasn't that he was afraid of Dryn, but rather that he wanted to give Fabreides face, allowing him to make a gesture. Clearly, there was some connection between Fabreides and the young man opposite them. Now, Sabonis could only use positive methods to resolve the situation. Maintaining his usual smile as the city lord, Sabonis said, "Dryn, Guardian of the Dryn Clan, what you're saying isn't right..."

  Dry and sternly, he looked at Sabonis with his head tilted, slowly got up from the ground, and in his hand was already grasping that bloodless killer, the Douma Zhan Ma knife!

  Behind Kayler, the ten unnamed warriors faced Qianjin alone. As soon as they stood up, they all took a step back in unison, their palms involuntarily pressing against the hilts of their swords, watching him warily.

  "What's wrong with that? Luo Qingqing is my woman, and someone comes to me asking for my woman. Should I kneel on the ground and offer her up with both hands?"

  His eyes suddenly widened, and his voice transformed from a faint sorrow to a thunderous roar. The hilt of the saber in his hand heavily struck the floor, shattering it, and the hilt was stuck in the ground. The entire blade trembled slightly, as if humming. The mourning hall... was quiet, with only the sound of people's astonished gasps remaining. Kayler stared blankly at Qianjin, unable to believe that this young man would suddenly say such a thing.

  Sabonis stared at Qian Jin in shock, unable to believe that this young man had directly shut down all conversation as soon as he opened his mouth.

  Lu Qingqing wrapped her arms around Lu Jing's waist, looking up at the towering back of the man in front of her, and her eyes became moist once again. Happiness was almost overflowing from her entire chest.

  Sabonis was taken aback, his words were met with the young man's roar, and there was also a hint of dissatisfaction between his eyebrows: "Young man, you can't talk nonsense..."

  "Master of the castle." Gan Jian replied calmly: "So I said, what is Zhu Lisi? My marriage to Luo Qingqing was decided by Luo Lin."

  Kai Le laughed, another dead man with no evidence! I brought up Zhu Li Si's case, and you bring up Luo Lin's case, also a dead man?

  "Is that so?" Keller's smile added a few points of joy: "About Zhuli finding me to propose, there is the lord of the city in charge. The thing you said..."

  With a stern expression, he took a step forward. Except for Gran, Sabonis and Fabreids, everyone else took a step back, as if only by keeping such a distance could they feel safe.

  Qianjin walked step by step without stopping, and the crowd subconsciously moved closer together, only feeling safe when gathered together.

  "City Guardian, sir." Qian Jin stretched out his hand and carefully took out the last letter from Luo Lin from his pocket dimension, gently handing it over to Fabreides' hands: "Take a look at this as evidence."

  Sabonis thought to himself: Indeed! Qianjin knows Fabreides! Not many people in Oakland know that he is the city's guardian, and this young man can shout out his identity. I knew I shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter. It seems like I need to think of a way to resolve things without offending either side.

  Fabreides looked at the letter, his expression changing from normal to serious, his eyes fixed on Rorin's last words. After finishing reading, he took a deep breath and handed the letter back to Qianjin, saying seriously: "Indeed, as you said. Rorin did say in the letter that he was a good brother and a good man." "Hmph!" Gran let out a second cold snort: "One letter, only you've seen it, anything can be said. Why not just say that the entire Rorin family gave it to him?"

  Fabre's eyebrows rose, his face sank, and he seemed like a volcano about to wake up from its sleep.

  Sabonis hastily intervened between the two, saying: "As for Fabredis' character, I still believe in him. This matter can be guaranteed to our city's guardian."

  Glan let out his third cold snort today, and Sabonis's face also began to sink: "What? Mr. Glan doesn't even trust the city lord? The city lord has always been fair in his dealings, but that doesn't mean he's afraid of anyone or any power!"

  Kailer saw Sabonis's change of face, and his heart was dark. This Gran thought he was a demon warrior, so no one looked at him in the eye. The first time he showed cold hum was to show his strength and dissatisfaction, but the last two times were just foolish! He really pushed Sabonis to Fabreides' side, it's strange that Luo's family can take it down today.

  "Lord of the castle, Mr. Gran is not that kind of person." Keller hastily said: "Your noble character, the entire Yongliang Province knows, since things have come to this point, it's better to ask Lord Castle to make a decision. After all, Miss Zhuli has already taken our Ke family's betrothal gift, if the Luo family breaks off the engagement, our Ke family may not be able to accept it either."

  Sabonis gave Keller a dissatisfied look, Zhuli is already dead, you can say whatever you want! If the Kai family were to be rejected for marriage, this would indeed be a serious matter, as it concerns the face of an entire family.

  "Lord City Master, Zhuli is just Ronglin's woman. In this household, what Ronglin says goes. If the decisions made by Ronglin's wife can be overturned by him, if word gets out... it would be a laughingstock..."

  Sabonis had an urge to kill the two people next to him, and if he acknowledged that Zhulisi could overthrow the lord of the house, Rolin's words would spread and only the Lord of Oakland City would be ridiculed.

  "Hmph!" Gran's nostrils flared as he let out a fourth cold hum, saying discontentedly: "What's so troublesome about it? Doesn't our True Strategist Dynasty have a convention for this kind of situation? In the past when something like this happened, two men fighting over one woman, wasn't it just that the two sides would fight it out and whoever won would marry the woman?"

  Sabonis looked at the demon warrior who was occasionally letting out cold hums with his nose facing upwards, and found that he wasn't so detestable after all. This method seemed fair for both sides on the surface at least! Ganjing is a warrior, and Kaito had also said before that he was a warrior, so let's have a duel. If anyone says anything about it being unfair, that would be an unmanly display, no different from automatically forfeiting. Neither Kayler nor Fabreidis could complain about anything. "This method isn't bad." Sabonis nodded very seriously: "What do you two think?"

  Kai'er looked at Qianjin, with a hint of worry in his heart. The previous knife was indeed too astonishing. The momentum of Qianjin holding the big knife was also surprisingly astonishing. Although Kaiqi was also a level 10 warrior, it was difficult to say who would win if they really fought each other...

  Kailer hesitated for a moment before saying, "This method is indeed good, but this is not just about two men. In a broader sense, it can be said that it's about two families. If it were just one game, it would be somewhat hasty. My personal opinion is that it should be at least three games."

  "One match is a duel between warriors, one is a duel between mages, and the last one is a tag team match where mages and warriors work together."

  Kai Xi saw Fabre Dis about to speak, and hastily said: "After all, this is a matter between two families. If you can't even bring out this bit of strength, it's a bit unsayable, right? Of course, if Qian Jin feels that he is strong enough to fight alone, we Kai family don't mind. However, in that case, the foundation of the Luo family seems to be a bit thin... I still hope that Qian Jin can also find a magician, which is also a respect for our Kai family, isn't it?" "This method is not bad." Sabonis nodded seriously: "This way, we can also see the sincerity of both sides. I wonder how Qian Jin sees it?"

  Duel? Qianjin furrowed his brow, the Kai family is related to Luo Lin's death, do I still need to show respect to you? Taking revenge for Huaizi myself, without evidence, killing the person who killed the Kai family would be no big deal, at most it would just mean being sent to the Human-Demon battlefield, but that would also implicate the Luo family. This duel is actually a pretty good solution, it's reasonable murder.

  In front of the city master, all the people of the Kai family were beheaded, but they would not violate the laws of the imperial court! What if one wins three battles?!
