Chapter 2010


    Since it made logical sense, no one questioned it.


    Zeke stared at Peter coldly. “Someone''s clearly trying to frame me. May I ask who''s the first to use


    me of being a murderer?”


    All the n members turned their heads to Peter.


    Peter was the first to suggest that Zeke was the murderer, and then Mona also said that Peter had


    been in her roomst night.


    Even an idiot was able to tell what happened. Peter was no doubt trying to frame Zeke as the one who


    killed Mona.


    Peter began to panic when everyone''s attention focused on him. “You''re still trying to lie your way out,


    huh, Zeke—”


    “Shut your mouth!” Erwen roared.


    None of the n members had ever seen her that furious before.


    She had always treated Mona as her own sister. Of course she was going to be mad when Peter


    turned out to be the culprit. “You havemitted the sin of injuring one of our own! I brand you as a


    traitor! You shall be given the punishment of being burned alive and then drowned in the river! Do you


    admit to your crime?”


    “I''m innocent! I really am!” Peter cried out. “Zeke is lying to all of you! You mustn''t believe the words of


    an outsider! No matter how depraved I am, there''s no way I''ll ever hurt Mona!”

    Zeke questioned, “Then how do you exin the things you said to her in her roomst night?”


    “That... That...” Peter stuttered before he tried to defend himself. “Let me ask you something, Mona.


    How do you think I''ve been treating you?”


    Mona thought for a second before answering, “You''ve treated me nicely and given me tasty food to


    eat.”


    He nodded. “That''s right. I''ve been treating you very nicely, almost like you''re my own daughter. How


    can a father be cruel enough to hurt his own daughter? She''s still a young girl, so she can''t take


    responsibility for what she says. A testimony from her can''t be taken seriously as children can be quite


    unreliable, especially when they''re sleepy. Let me ask you something else, Mona. Did you personally


    see me entering your room? Are you sure you heard me talking to you? Is it possible that you were


    dreaming?”


    Mona fell into silence for a long while before she answered, “I was deep in my sleepst night, so I


    don''t know if I was dreaming or if I really did hear your voice.”


    A sigh of relief escaped his mouth. “Hear that? Besides, I don''t know a thing about ck Muraco n''s


    worms. There''s no way I''m the culprit.”


    Erwen dered coldly, “I will investigate this matter thoroughly. When I find the culprit, be it you or


    anyone else, they shall be punished with unimaginable pain.”


    Jeremiah waved his hand. “All right, that''ll be the end of this matter. Bimble and I will continue to


    investigate who''s responsible. Once we capture the culprit, we''ll wait for Mr. Andres to deliver the


    punishment personally. Now, onto the next topic.” He nced at Zeke. “Did you beat the Saint of ck


    Muraco when he visited us yesterday, Zeke?”


    Zeke nodded. “I did.”


    “Hmph! And did he say that he''ll wipe the White Muraco n out if you and Erwen''s heads aren''t


    delivered to him by tonight?”


    Zeke nodded again.


    “I''m d you admitted it. Now, you have two choices. First, we''ll cut your head off and send it to the


    ck Muraco n. Second, you alone will defeat all their attacking forces. If you can''t hold them off,


    and if we determine your survival will lead to our destruction, don''t me us when we work together


    with the ck Muraco n to take you down.”


    “It''s just the ck Muraco n. They aren''t even worth my time.”


    The crowd scoffed in disdain at his words.


    The ck Muraco n was at least a couple of times more powerful than the White Muraco n. It


    was absurd that Zeke wanted to challenge the entire ck Muraco n alone.


    Since his name had been cleared, the crowd began to dissipate.
