Chapter 2612


    Elder Rick really was incredibly silver tongued. With just a few words, he had basically dismissed all of Harold’s


    wrongdoings. He was so shameless it rendered Jackie speechless. Elder Zhou did not care how the two of them


    reacted and instead pointed right at Langston who was kneeling on the ground.


    “Langston is a close brother of Michael’s. Before Michael went to Holy Soul Mountain, he handed the contract with


    Harold to Langston for safekeeping. If any idents happened, Langston would bring the contract out.”


    Jackie raised a hand to interrupt Elder Rick as he earnestly asked, “I don’t have anyone with a grudge against me

    outside. I’ve never heard of some ck-clothed man before. This was obviously all fabricated by Harold to clear


    his name.


    “Why do you trust his words so much? If I’ve done something and just casually made up some ck-clothed man,


    would I be able to clear my own name as well?”


    Elder Rick let out a slightugh as he said casually, “This ck-clothed man isn’t someone who was


    just casually made up. If the ck-clothed man did not exist, then how did Michael die?


    “The deacons who helped send Michael to Holy Soul Mountain have all been interrogated by us. After


    they were interrogated, they only offered one answer.


    “They did do all of it for the sake of Harold’s money, but they only helped send Michael in. They did not


    send a second ; person through the array. After our investigations, the deacons were definitely telling


    the truth. So other than all of you at Holy Soul Mountain, there should be someone else there!”


    Jackie raised an eyebrow and almostughed out loud. Elder Rick actually managed to say those


    words. Even the ck-clothed man who did not exist sounded so realistic.


    Elder Rick continued after seeing that Jackie was silent, “We sent our people to investigate Holy Soul


    Mountain. After a series of investigations, there was no one there at all.


    “All of this proves that Harold was right. The ck-clothed man had actually broken through the barrier


    and entered Holy Soul Mountain to find you.”


    Jackie smiled as he asked, “Then why am I fine right now, and the one who died was Michael?”


    Elder Rick said in an incredibly calm tone, “That’s because their negotiations broke down. Harold


    agreed to give Michael a portion of his resources, and the ckclothed man had agreed to give


    Michael something as well.


    “However, the man clearly regretted it and ended up killing Michael himself. All of this makes sense.”


    Jackie could no longer hold himself back fromughing after hearing all that crap. Elder Eliot frowned and said


    sternly, “What are youughing at? Do you know where you are right now? You can’t justugh when you feel like


    it…”


    Jackie’s lips twitched helplessly, unable to stop himself fromughing, “You’re really not holding back at all to clear


    his name. You’re even willing to say such nonsensical things.


    “That ck-clothed man risked his life in order to kill me, but he somehow regretted it? This makes no sense!”


    Elder Rick did not look angered at all by Jackie’sughter, and instead said calmly, “Why doesn’t it make sense?


    It’s not like something like this has never happened before. On top of that, Michael’s temper is quite bad. The two


    of them ended up in a conflict and the ck-clothed man identally killed Michael. It’s entirely possible.”
