Chapter 2221
Heath could not have spoken righteously on Frank’s behalf just like what Theo said, as Heath abhorred Frank. This all merely seemed hilarious to Jackie. On top of that, he remembered that Heath was unable to stay awake after being wounded by the masked man. How could he be in the mood to look at other things at that moment?

Although Jackie was in a battle at that time, he still paid attention to the changes around him. It seemed untrue that Heath saw everything that happened! It was true that the others were deeply immersed in their battles, but Theo managed to describe their battle accurately. This meant that somebody described what happened to Theo, but that person was neither Heath nor Edric!

Jackie suddenly raised his head to look at Theo and smiled coldly. He opened his mouth and said, “I’m impressed! How can you do this when Frank was your clan brother from the same sect…”

Theo was stunned when he heard this and the people around them were also stunned. All of them stared at Jackie in disbelief.

Griffin said with a frown on his face. “Are you so intimidated that you’ve gone crazy? What are you talking about?”

Jackie suddenly turned around to look at Griffin. “If this happened to Senior Brother Griffin, what would you do? It was an emergency situation, and my opponent was in the final stage of innate level. If I wasn’t thinking about escaping, should I have stayed to die with Frank? I’m sure that you would’ve escaped faster than anybody if this happened to you! You only asked me these questions because we’ve got bad blood. We’re clan brothers, so it doesn’t matter if there are some issues between us, but you ignored the fact that we’re clan brothers and, instead, joined some random outsider to blame me! You agreed to what the outsider said without looking at what happened with your own eyes! What sort of a good person do you think you are?!”

Griffin slightly stuttered when Jackie’s questions hit, and his expression mellowed out. “I was just standing on the side of,”

“You said that I’m a disloyal and unrighteous person, but have you thought about my situation?” interjected Jackie. “This person is a disciple of the Muddled Origin Clan, and you agree to everything that he said. You’re helping an outsider against me! Is this the loyalty and righteousness that you’re talking about?”

Nelson immediately followed behind Jackie and said,” Junior Brother Jackie is right! We’re all disciples of the Dual Sovereign Pavilion, and if we are of no help, we shouldn’t have spoken before we know what’s going on. Where’s your loyalty and righteousness as you disregarded the sect’s morality for your personal grudges?”

Jackie and Nelson’s alternating words caused Griffin To blush a crimson color as he looked at the two of them with gritted teeth. He tried to find his tongue so that he could talk back to them.

However, Jackie did not provide the opportunity for him to do so. He suddenly turned around to look at Theo. “Do you think that I’m dumb?! Everyone was too caught up in their own battle that no one would’ve bothered to look at somebody else. You said that…Senior Brother Heath told you everything. However, I saw him badly wounded and lying on the ground vomiting blood in the end. He’s still trying to recover right now, so do you think that he would be In the mood to tell you all that?!”

Chapter 2222
Jackie paused after he finished saying this. “Another person saw the entire process!”

Theo’s expression changed, and he was about to interrupt Jackie when Jackie beat him to it. “It’s the person who tried to kill us at that moment!” He pointed at the direction of the masked man when he finished speaking. “That eldest senior brother from the Corpse Pavilion who has on a mask had been standing by the side and observing the entire battle after he wounded Senior Brother Heath! He must be the one who told you about everything!”

What Jackie said was like a wake-up call to everyone present. Although Jackie was disloyal and unrighteous, he was on the weaker side. Jackie sneered and continued, “The Corpse Pavilion was the one who wanted to kill us, and Frank died in the hands of the Corpse Pavilion’s disciples. You’re causing us trouble instead of accusing the Corpse Pavilion! Is this your loyalty and righteousness?”

Everyone there had a sudden realization when they heard what Jackie said. Jackie was right: The Corpse Pavilion was the one who did the murder, and Frank died in the hands of their people. However, Theo acted as if he had completely forgotten this and only came to question Jackie. He was obviously bullying the weak!

At this moment, everybody turned to accuse Theo, and the looks in their eyes changed when they looked at him.

Jackie sneered and added, “It doesn’t matter that you’re bullying the weak and purposely causing me trouble, but you’re working together with the person who killed Frank! Senior Brother Heath was so badly wounded at that moment that he was on the ground, continuously vomiting blood. How could he even have the thought to focus on me? Right now, Senior Brother Heath is still healing, and he’s unable to even open his eyes right now. How would he be in the mood to go to you and purposely tell you everything?!”

Theo was so angry that his hands were trembling. Still, he stubbornly insisted, “Your actions were too overboard, so—”

“Stop lying to everybody with these made-up facts. What did I do that was so overboard? We could’ve left in peace, but Frank was all pompous. He completely angered the opponent, and this caused the opponent to attack us. If everyone won’t believe what I said, you can ask another person who was involved in the fight, the formal disciple of Thousand Leaves Pavilion, Byron Reid!”

Theo blushed a crimson color as he said, “Don’t try to smooth-talk your way out of this!”

“I’m not trying to smoothly talk my way out of things; you’re the one who was in exasperation. I’m sure you’re cooperating with the masked man because he promised you a sweet deal or two. After all, the masked man failed to capture me, and he hated me. You don’t actually care about Frank’s fate, and you only care if you’ll receive your promised benefits. You could’ve thrown anyone under the bus for these small boons!”

“It is true, and I can testify!” At this moment, a clear voice could be heard from behind the crowd, and a Thousand Leaves Pavilion’s disciple in a white robe walked over to them steadily.

The person who made his way toward the scene was Byron, and he seemed to be calm at this moment. However, waves of anger were flashing across his eyes.

He announced loudly when he arrived in front of everybody, “I can testify for Junior Brother Jackie, and everything he says is true! On top of that, my Senior Brother Heath had been tending to his wounds since he was transferred here. He was in no mood to tell anybody about what happened since then.”

With this witness testifying on Jackie’s behalf, the judgment of things naturally leaned toward his side. Theo, who was arrogant before, immediately shrank as though a bowl of cold water had been poured over his head

However, he still tried to defend himself.

“Junior Brother Byron, why are you siding with Jackie? He killed my junior brother!”

Chapter 2223
Byron glanced at Theo in disdain. He loathed people who cooperated with their enemies for measly gains. He smiled coldly and commented, “A person who stresses about getting justice for his junior brother is actually cooperating with the true murderer who killed his junior brother. You’re a truly unjust, wicked person! How dare you mention that I’m helping somebody else? Ask your own conscience about your actions!”

Almost everybody looked at Theo in disgust after Byron’s remark. With Byron’s testimony and Theo’s guilty expression, everybody knew the truth.

“I thought that he was genuinely infuriated about his junior brother’s death. Turns out, he’s here to frame others because of some benefits!”

“He dared not say anything when facing the true murderer who killed his junior brother, and he even cooperated with that person! He’s here to frame Jackie because he thinks that it’s easy to frame somebody in the intermediate stage of the innate level. He’s such a despicable person for framing someone!”

“I almost fell for his words just now and thought that Jackie was a vile person!”

At this moment, all the doubtful voices and contemptuous gazes landed on Theo. Theo was not as insensitive as Jackie was, and he felt that the gazes from the crowd burned holes in his body. News about this incident would surely travel back to his clan, and everybody would be mocking him by then. Everybody would think of him as a despicable person.

Theo was so angry that his hands were trembling, and his eyes were bloodshot, too. He suddenly raised his head and looked over at Jackie. “B*stard! I’ll remember everything that happened here today! I won’t let you off the hook, and there’s still a long way ahead of us. Just wait and see what I’ll do to you!

With that, Theo turned and left. After all, he would only provoke ridicule if he stayed behind. Jackie, meanwhile, felt that Theo was ridiculous and disgusting when he saw how he escaped with his tail between his legs. However, Jackie remembered what Theo said in the end. He believed that Theo would no doubt cause him trouble if he had the chance, and the beef between them was unavoidable.

This, however, did not overly concern Jackie as he did not go against his principle as a person. Theo, in fact, was the one who caused him trouble.

As the main person in this incident had escaped in embarrassment, onlookers naturally left with a lack of interest. Once again, only the disciples of the Dual Sovereign Pavilion were left.

Griffin’s glower intensified as what he did was definitely despicable. He stood on the side of outsiders against his clan brothers, and many people despised him for what he did. However, Griffin did not feel that he made a mistake. He had never thought of Jackie as his clan brother.

Jackie turned around and looked at Griffin before speaking up in front of all the Dual Sovereign Pavilion’s disciples, “I’ll remember what you did today, Senior Brother Griffin!”

Griffin reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on when he heard what Jackie said. “Why? Do you plan to retaliate? You wish to do that by yourself? Stop thinking that you can show off in front of me because you’re under the Eleventh Elder’s protection! You’re just a formal disciple right now, frankly speaking, but I’m a chosen disciple! Who do you think you are to bring up revenge in front of me?
