Chapter 955: Who Says I Don’t Have Evidence?
The gentle shout was heard along with the faint sound of something flying through the air. The arrow formed from the blue flame disappeared without a trace.
w.a.n.g Teng heaved a sigh of relief secretly. But his expression remained unchanged, still as calm as ever. He even raised his eyebrow at Sinclamon with a sneer at the corner of his lips.
Stupid bald man, do you think I’ll be afraid just because you look fiercer?
The veins on Sinclamon’s forehead bulged like snakes. If he wasn’t stopped, he might have rushed forward and beaten w.a.n.g Teng to death.
“Sinclamon, w.a.n.g Teng, this is the n.o.ble Family Consultation Chamber. It is not a place for you to wreak havoc,” the head of the council glanced at them as he spoke calmly.
“Council Head, you can’t blame me. That stupid bald heaven-stage martial warrior wanted to bully me because I’m weaker. He even wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h my baron seal. You must seek justice for me.” w.a.n.g Teng’s expression changed. He started acting pitiful.
“Stupid bald martial warrior?!” Cao Guan had just regained his composure when he heard w.a.n.g Teng’s words. He was dumbstruck.
Was this fellow sick of living? How dared he ridicule Mister Sinclamon!
The other people had weird expressions on their faces too. They wanted to laugh, but they tried their best to hold it in. They had all been trained in strict aristocratic etiquette. They would never laugh unless they honestly couldn’t bear with it… hahaha!
Crack!
Sinclamon clenched his fists tightly. Flames of fury almost surged out of his eyes as he raged silently in his heart.
The head of the council felt his head throbbing. “w.a.n.g Teng, please don’t curse in the n.o.ble Family Consultation Chamber.”
“Yes, I understand. I was wrong. I’ll never curse in this chamber again.” w.a.n.g Teng nodded hurriedly.
There seemed nothing wrong with this sentence, but it sounded a little strange.
Would he continue cursing once he left this chamber?
This young man was indeed a bold fellow.
The head of the council felt the corners of his eyes twitching. It was difficult for him to lose his composure, but it only occurred for a split second. He soon regained his calmness. “Since you’re unable to prove your ident.i.ty, we’ll talk about this inheritance matter again after some investigation. Before that, you’re not allowed to leave the city.”
Cao Guan was elated after he heard the verdict. Although he didn’t achieve his goal today, this fellow wouldn’t be able to become the inheritor if he couldn’t prove his ident.i.ty.
“Let’s have an investigation.” The other members of the council nodded and agreed with the head’s decision.
w.a.n.g Teng’s performance showed them that this planetary-stage martial warrior wasn’t easy to bully. Thus, some members who stood on Cao Hongtu’s side didn’t open their mouths.
This young man dared to talk back to the Parkers family, one of the eight dukes. If they stood up, they were just asking for a snub.
They weren’t afraid of w.a.n.g Teng. They were just afraid of losing face. In their hearts, they had already labeled him as a dead man. He had no chance of living after offending Sinclamon. They just had to wait for the result.
Everyone got up and prepared to leave. They thought that this meeting had ended.
“Hmph!” Sinclamon snorted and glared at w.a.n.g Teng coldly. He seemed to have sentenced w.a.n.g Teng to death with his gaze.
No one could survive after offending the Parkers family.
Cao Guan smirked at w.a.n.g Teng. He patted his long gown and turned to leave with a contemptuous gaze.
However, at this moment, w.a.n.g Teng sat down and said calmly, “Who says I don’t have evidence?”
Everyone stopped in their tracks in unplanned unison. Besides the head of the council, the others had already stood up. After hearing w.a.n.g Teng’s words, they turned and looked at him in surprise.
Are you making a fool of us?
Cao Guan trembled and turned abruptly to glare at w.a.n.g Teng.
This young man was able to prove it?
Suddenly, he had a bad feeling.
Sinclamon’s gaze also turned gloomy. He furrowed his brows slightly.
Only the head of the council remained in his seat, giving w.a.n.g Teng a meaningful smile.
“w.a.n.g Teng, you’re crazy!” Round Ball knew what w.a.n.g Teng wanted to do. It started screaming in his mind, “No, you can’t do it. You’ll die.”
“I have already offended the Parkers family. Why would I be afraid of other martial warriors?” w.a.n.g Teng’s tone remained calm. He said softly, “One more enemy isn’t a problem. I won’t die.”
“You!” Round Ball didn’t know what to say.
w.a.n.g Teng realized that everyone’s attention was on him. He smiled and activated the legacy mark left by Nangong Yue.
A rune appeared on his forehead. As this rune lit up, the baron’s seal on the table lit up in response. It seemed to be showing everyone the connection between them.

“This is… legacy!”
“This is the legacy!”
“Nangong Yue pa.s.sed the Nangong Family’s legacy to w.a.n.g Teng!”
All the members of the council were flabbergasted. Their expressions were interesting to watch.
Cao Guan’s face turned ugly. The legacy of the Nangong family!
This was definitely the legacy of the Nangong family.
Although his father was Nangong Yue’s disciple, he didn’t receive this legacy. They wanted to enter the treasure vault of the Nangong family all these years to gain the legacy knowledge, but without the legacy mark and the baron’s seal, they could only dream about it.
They had the treasures, but they couldn’t enjoy them. You could imagine how frustrated and exasperated they were.
However, this legacy mark had appeared on w.a.n.g Teng.
Cao Guan was green with envy!
His eyes turned red and he wished he could s.n.a.t.c.h the legacy mark from w.a.n.g Teng and paste it on his head.

Sinclamon remained expressionless. However, his gaze had turned sharper.
“I wonder if you guys will acknowledge my inheritor’s ident.i.ty with this legacy mark as proof?” w.a.n.g Teng glanced around him as he spoke. He paused purposely when he saw Cao Guan and Sinclamon.
Slap!
This was a slap in their faces!
It was a direct and brutal slap!
The expression on the other people’s faces turned ambiguous. They looked at Cao Guan and started to sympathize with him and Cao Hongtu who wasn’t present.
The baron’s t.i.tle was flying further and further away!
It was right within their reach, but it had flown away just like that.
Everyone could imagine Cao Hongtu’s expression when he would receive this piece of this. If they were in his position, they might vomit blood out of frustration.
“Since you have the legacy, your inheritor’s ident.i.ty is justified.” The head of the council nodded.
His words were the verdict. It meant that the Great Qian n.o.ble Family Consultation Chamber, in the representation of the Great Qian Empire, had acknowledged w.a.n.g Teng’s ident.i.ty.
Cao Guan’s face turned pale.

Sinclamon flicked his sleeve and strode out of the great hall silently.
