Chapter 837: Blaming the Murder on Braydon!
....
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The commander of the Northern Army was the current Garrison King.
If someone were to become enemies with Braydon Neal, it would be equivalent to treason, and they would be punished for their crimes!
Although Jasiah Kramer was pedantic, he wasn’t so lowly as to sit in the same room with a traitor.
Therefore, Jasiah wasn’t being respectful toward the nine representatives of the powerful families.
Trenton Joplin, the third-in-command of the Joplin family, looked gentle and weak on the outside, but he was actually a ruthless man. His body was filled with killing intent. He glanced at Jasiah inadvertently, and a hint of killing intent emerged.
He and Genesis Crawford, the top figure of the Crawford family, looked at each other.
Both sides could feel each other’s killing intent!
They all wanted to kill the troublemaker Jasiah.
Trenton suddenly stood up and bowed humbly. “I have something to attend to.”
Rafael Worley, who was in charge of the overall situation, slowly glanced at Trenton with his murky eyes and sighed to himself. He had already guessed what the third most powerful figure of the Joplin family was going to do!
Jasiah would most likely not be able to escape his vicious hands.
Rafael had guessed all of this, but he did not say anything about it.
Because everyone present had their own ulterior motives and schemed against each other.
Moreover, Rafael had agreed to let the representatives of the nine powerful families partic.i.p.ate in the meeting of the hundred schools of thought. This already proved that he supported the alliance between the powerful families and the aristocratic families!
Jasiah then left the ninth floor of Star Tower.
The old man cultivated Confucianism and was knowledgeable, but his strength
was only at the warlord level.
But he had a high prestige among the Confucian scholars!
The Confucian lineage belonged to the civil lineage.
The disciples of the civil lineage studied literature and did not practice much of the martial arts.
Therefore, Confucian scholars was generally not strong.
Jasiah was walking downstairs when a cold voice came from behind him, “Mr. Kramer, it seems that you have joined the Northern Army, am I right?”
“Who is it? Trenton Joplin!”
Jasiah was standing at the entrance of Star Tower. He turned around abruptly and found Trenton standing in front of him.
The third most powerful figure of the Joplin family, a pinnacle with 700 Na of vitality, could kill the old man Jasiah in an instant with a flick of his finger.
“Before I kill you, I won’t hide it from you,” Trenton said indifferently. “The reason why the nine powerful families came together was to join forces with the aristocratic families to fight against the capital!”
“How dare you? There are many storms in Hansworth right now. How dare you people cause trouble?”
Jasiah was shocked and furious, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
However, Trenton said disdainfully, “This is the last chance for the two great ent.i.ties. With the rise of the elites of the Northern Army, Braydon Neal has already placed a blade on the necks of our families. If our families are destroyed, the aristocratic families will not be able to withstand the blade of the Northern Army. With Braydon Neal’s personality, he will destroy the powerful families first, then annihilate the aristocratic families. Do you know that?”
“This is not a reason for you to rebel!”
Jasiah’s tone was firm, not compromising at all.
In the end, Trenton’s eyes revealed a ruthless killing intent as he said coldly, “Old thing, I’ve given you a chance. Since you want to die, I’ll fulfill your wish!” Swoosh!
Trenton flashed past. A sharp broken blade appeared in his left hand, and he slashed upward.
This was a backhanded attack.
The blade flashed with a cold light as it slashed across Jasiah’s neck.
With one slash, he severed his carotid artery. Jasiah was lying on the ground with his hands covering his neck. He looked up at the sky with his eyes wide open.
Trenton’s eyes turned cold. He bent down and held Jasiah’s hand. He dipped his finger in Jasiah’s own blood and slowly wrote two big words on the ground.
Northern Army!
He was trying to frame the Northern Army.
Trenton wanted to shift the blame onto Braydon.
All of this happened at the entrance of Star Tower.
Occasionally, there would be martial artists pa.s.sing by Star Tower. When they saw this scene, they turned a blind eye, as if they did not know anything.
This was because these people were all martial artists of aristocratic families.
Today, Star Tower had called for a meeting of the hundred schools. There was definitely something important to plan and discuss.
Therefore, no matter what happened in Star Tower, the martial artists of the aristocratic families who were not qualified to enter Star Tower would not ask about it, let alone blindly join in the fun.
Otherwise, if they ruined things for the big shots, they would die a hundred times to atone for their sins.
Jasiah died in front of Star Tower.
When the news reached Star Tower’s conference hall, everyone was shocked. Many of the leaders of the aristocratic families looked at Rafael, who was in
charge of the situation, with fear in their eyes.
Jasiah had an extremely high prestige among the Confucian scholars.
He had to give them an explanation for his death on Mount Woolas today.
Furthermore, Jasiah was backed by the entire Kramer family, which was the representative force of the Confucian scholars.
Rafael slowly turned around and looked at the young man who came in to report. He asked angrily, “Who killed Jasiah?”
“We haven’t found the murderer yet, but he left two words on blood beside Elder Kramer’s body!”
The young man who came in to report was covered in cold sweat. He felt a great pressure.
Trenton, who had returned silently, frowned and asked, “What words? This is most likely a clue left behind by Elder Kramer!”
“Elder Kramer is highly respected and has been killed on Mount Woolas. We have the responsibility to find the murderer!”
Genesis was from the Crawford family, so his words carried a lot of weight.
The young man who reported couldn’t help but bow his head, not daring to look Rafael in the eye. He said with great difficulty, “I, I don’t dare to say that words!”
“I’m here on behalf of the Crawford family. What are you scared of?”
Genesis’s words pulled in his relationship with the various aristocratic families present as if he was a brother of the people present, as if he wanted to support them.
Rafael was old and shrewd. He could not help but glance at Trenton and Genesis, then turned around and released his pinnacle pressure.
The aura of a pinnacle with 1,000 Na of vitality swept across the entire venue.
Almost everyone instantly felt a suffocating pressure.
Rafael’s aged and decadent aura was swept away. He straightened his body and stared at the young man with sharp eyes. He said sternly, “A murder happened during the hundred schools of thought summit. This is a slap to the faces of the
Jansky and Worley families!”
As Rafael spoke, he dragged the Jansky family into the mud with him.
Little did he know that Trevor Jansky and the other two were sitting quietly at the side, as silent as ever.
The Jansky family had very little to say!
“Speak!” Rafael snorted coldly. “No matter who it is, I will make them pay with their life for killing Jasiah, whom I have known for decades!
“No matter who it is, that person is way too arrogant!”
In the hundred schools of thought summit, other than Jasiah’s Confucian line, there were 71 other schools!
Although they were fighting openly and covertly, Jasiah was attacked and killed at the entrance of Star Tower. Didn’t that mean that it was their turn next?
How arrogant!
This was equivalent to slapping everyone in the face.
The young man who reported couldn’t withstand Rafael’s pinnacle pressure and knelt on the ground. He said with a trembling voice, “The words ‘Northern Army’ were written beside Elder Kramer’s body!” Swoosh!
As soon as he said that, the entire place fell silent!
Everyone’s eyes were filled with shock and anger.
Was this done by people from the Northern Army?
The people from the northern territory were right below them.
Such a way of doing things was frivolous and overbearing. Killing at the slightest disagreement was King Braydon’s style..
