Chapter 1951
After all, they had a great number of informal disciples to act as cannons in the war between Clan
associations. Something flashed in Zeph’s eyes as he raised an eyebrow. He did not expect Jackie to
come up with a plausible explanation so quickly. However, no matter how quick-witted he was, he
would still not be able to stop Zeph. He chuckled softly and turned to face the crowd.
“I’ve received a report from one of my runner disciples. He saw you having a meal with a disciple from
the Muddled Origin Clan. Besides that, Warren can also testify that he had seen you in the Muddled
Origin Clan before. Your argument is useless when there are testimonies from two witnesses.” Zeph’s
words sounded logical and those who did not know better began to believe him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe crowd looked at Jackie with derision in their eyes. “You despicable spy! Two-faced people are the
worst! The secret place filled with resources was discovered by Dual Sovereign Pavilion and stolen by
the Muddled Origin Clan! You should be ashamed of yourself!” shouted someone.
“Yes! The Muddled Origin Clan is truly despicable and shameless!”
“What do you expect from them? Take this guy, for example, he looks decent but hides an evil heart in
him. Don’t even think you can get out of here safely, you Muddled Origin Clan dog! We might not be
disciples of the Dual Sovereign Pavilion but we grew up under their protection. We’ll make sure you
won’t get away so easily!”
The clamor coming from the crowd was endless and people were shouting indignantly. They were
itching to rush up to the stage to punish Jackie. However, Jackie remained calm in the face of all this.
He remained quietly standing in front of the obsidian as If all the ruckus had nothing to do with him.
Zeph narrowed his eyes at him and his evaluation of Jackie went up a level more. He knew he would
not be able to stay as calm as Jackie if their roles were reversed.

“You kept on saying that your disciple saw me having a meal with people from the Muddled Origin Clan
or that Warren saw me hanging out with them and yet you’ve never mentioned where they had seen
me or other specific details. Why don’t you ask him to come up here to tell us the whole story? After all,
I have done nothing wrong and am innocent,” said Jackie calmly with a hint of coldness in his tone.
Zeph laughed coldly. Zeph was impressed by Jackie’s calmness but thought that he was naïve enough
to think he could escape this accusation that Zeph planted on him. His goal had been achieved—
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJackie would not be allowed to take the test. He would arrange for somebody to take him out when all
of this was over.
“Ask the disciple to confront you? What wishful thinking. Why would I accuse you of something that you
didn’t do when my duty is to ensure the safety of the Dual Sovereign Pavilion? It’s only fair for me to
forbid you from taking the test when there’s something fishy about you. You’re not really as important
as you think you are. I suggest you leave this place immediately and give up your useless argument”
said Zeph.
