Chapter 1421: The Truth Revealed
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Flesh-Mincing Blade Insects cleaved wood from the plant-type fey’s body until it was reduced to a tree core.
Before the ladybug was struck to the ground by the Hurricane Owlet Moths, a Diamond X/Fantasy V Lightning Gathering Moths and a Diamond X/Fantasy V Plasma Caterpillars emerged from the spatial rift.
The Plasma Caterpillar spat out a blinding purple spurt of plasma. The purple plasma gathered together to shoot out a bright beam of plasma.
The plasma shot through the ladybug and was reduced to ashes just like the tree castle had been.
The people from the Profit Source Chamber of Commerce and two experts from the Ding family only watched silently while Liu Jie attacked the three Diamond/Fantasy feys from the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce. None of them made any move to help.
!!
This battle that involved hundreds of Diamond/Fantasy feys made everyone present look at Lin Yuan’s group with fear.
Lin Yuan made a beeline for the Sincere Merchant Group.
Lin Yuan said to the astonished Song Dingzhen, “I think the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce will probably be willing to talk to me calmly now. I wonder how much money you’ve made by killing merchant groups over the years?”
Song Dingzhen’s expression changed abruptly when she heard what Lin Yuan said. The people watching also changed the way they looked at the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce.
The Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce had the best welfare for merchant groups among all the chambers of commerce in Oak City.
They provided free food and lodging as well as a stipend of 2,000 metal coins. This earned them the grat.i.tude of many chambers of commerce.
But recently, there had been continuous news of merchant groups disappearing in Oak City, and all the evidence suggested that the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce was involved.
But due to the might of the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce, no one dared to voice their suspicions for fear of making an enemy of the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce.
However, Lin Yuan’s words caused all their suspicions to bubble to the surface as he clearly pointed out all of the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce’s wicked deeds. Could this be the truth behind why the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce had been set on fire?
Zhuang Bei and the middle-aged woman frowned.
The Profit Source Chamber of Commerce’s main location of business was Sacred Forest City.
They had only opened the branch in Oak City a little over a year ago. They had no idea what Song Dingzhen had been up to in the shadows.
However, news of the Profit Source Chamber of Commerce and Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce’s collaboration had already been made known to the public.
If the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce had really killed merchant groups and stolen their money, the Profit Source Chamber of Commerce would be seen as complicit even if they had not partic.i.p.ated.
Chambers of commerce relied on merchant groups just as much as merchant groups relied on them.
If it was proven that the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce had indeed killed merchant groups in cold blood, the Profit Source Chamber of Commerce would also be feared and hated by the other merchant groups. This would lead to their reputation taking a hit and affect their development.
It went without saying that Song Dingzhen could not admit to Lin Yuan’s accusation.
Everything became clear to Song Dingzhen when she saw Lin Yuan walk over to the Sincere Merchant Group. He had to be the person who instigated the Sincere Merchant Group to retaliate and gave them experts. These experts were the ones who killed the person the manager sent out and set fire to the tree castle.
Song Dingzhen immediately shouted, “Tell me! Which chamber of commerce are you from? You have no evidence. How dare you besmirch the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce’s name? Do you think people will believe you? Everyone knows that merchant groups receive the best treatment from us!”
Lin Yuan ignored Song Dingzhen. Instead, he said to Mr. Zhao, “Why don’t you tell us how the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce stole resources from merchant groups and killed them to prevent the truth from getting out?”
Mr. Zhao had been holding himself back. He had not dared to speak his mind, nor was he given the opportunity to.
But now that he had Lin Yuan’s support and had seen the power of Lin Yuan’s retainer, all the terror that Mr. Zhao felt toward the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce vanished and was replaced by endless fury.
Mr. Zhao took a step forward and looked at the manager behind Song Dingzhen as he said, “Manager Diao, I’m sure you remember me. The Sincere Merchant Group came to Oak City to trade the 10 Silver Item-Storing Walnuts and 15 Bronze Item-Storing Walnuts. It should only take half a day for a chamber of commerce to process these resources. Yet, Diao Yun did not respond to us even after a full day pa.s.sed.
“So, I led the members of the Sincere Merchant Group to the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce to see Manager Diao. According to the regulations, the maximum number of members from a merchant group allowed to enter is two.
“However, this time, the attendants not only did not stop us but even sent a king-cla.s.s expert to take us to the eighth floor to ma.s.sacre us. It won’t be difficult to prove my side of the story. I am fully aware of everything that was inside the 10 Silver Item-Storing Walnuts and 15 Bronze Item-Storing Walnuts. These Item-Storing Walnuts should be with Vice President Song instead of Manager Diao. One look and the truth will be unveiled.”
Song Dingzhen and Manager Diao’s expressions fell. Song Dingzhen was rendered speechless because it was true that she had the Item-Storing Walnuts.
At that moment, the tension of the scene had reached a peak, and the sounds of discussion from the crowd climbed to a fervor.
The two experts from the Ding family shared a look before one of them stepped up and said to Song Dingzhen, “The Ding family will look into this matter and provide a report. For now, leave so you won’t affect the city’s daily life,”
Song Dingzhen let out a breath of relief.
The Ding family could be regarded as the leader of Oak City, and both ent.i.ties’ development was interlinked.
The Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce was one of the most important chambers of commerce in Oak City. It would be a significant blow to Oak City’s finances if they fell. Hence, Oak City needed the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce to continue existing.
As long as she could provide the Ding family with enough benefits, they should be willing to cover up this incident for her. After all, the evidence was still lacking to pin her as the culprit who murdered the merchant groups.
