Chapter 536 Part 1: Dean’s Struggle
Dean Tower:
Gilbert Reese brought Caroina and Tony to the dean's place. The old man was startled by his sudden appearance.
Before he could speak another person appeared. He is none other than Galvin Martin from the Elder House.
He swiftly arrived at this place right after hearing from Gilbert Reese.
"You guys, what happened?" The old man asked. He couldn't help but feel a headache whenever he saw Martin and Gilbert Reese.
Gilbert looked at the elder Martin. Seeing that he is nodding at him. Gilbert Reese turned toward the dean to speak.
"Dean, this wizard from the bloodline hall has murdered a Weapon Hall wizard. Not only that he has tried to pin the blame on our Sub-Taboon Hall member."
"This is Bloodline Hall's nefarious scheme. Looks like they want to create an internal conflict between the halls," Gilbert Reese said.
Galvin Martin nodded at the dean before saying, "Dean, you should use truth-revealing artifacts before bloodline maniacs come here."
The old man was surprised. Someone dared to act like this. The old man directly looked at Tony Burnett.
At this moment, he is not any feeble old man but the supreme wizard of the academy.
Feeling the terrifying gaze, Tony felt darkness had enveloped his body.
"Did you do it?" The old man asked.
Hearing that Tony Burnett unknowingly nodded his head.
Galvin Martin and others are angry.
Carolina felt that the shadow looming overhead was gone. Now she can breathe and relax.
Gilbert Reese sighed inwardly. He just wanted the interrogation to be over before the bloodline hall's group arrives.
Unlike them, the dean felt troubled. If he takes action, then it would offend the bigwigs of the bloodline hall.
He is not worried about the wizards below him. But he cares about the opinion of the powerhouse of the Bloodline Hall.
Those people are stronger than him. He thought these people would stay quiet. But the bloodline hall is acting on their own disregarding his face.
Seeing the troubled look on the dean's face. Gilbert Reese felt bad. Is he taking time for them to arrive?
Gilbert looked towards Elder Galvin for an answer. Elder Galvin on the other hand saw through Dean's thoughts.
"The old man is worried about his seat," Elder Galvin said in his heart. The dean had shown his concern before.
The bloodline hall is too powerful. Even though they had committed a crime. The dean won't pass judgment without their presence.
Elder Galvin felt bitter in his heart. Someone tried to tarnish the reputation of the Sub-Taboo Hall. But still, the dean is showing hesitation.
Gilbert Reese frowned. He thought that the dean would take action for sure. If the dean is so indecisive, then there was no point in bringing Tony here.
A cold glint flashes in Gilbert's eyes. While Carolina was watching everything with a blank mind. She is afraid to move an inch.
Because the place was new to her. This is the first time she is seeing the face of the dean. On top of that, she got a chance to see the higher up of the Sub-Taboo Hall.
The Older brother himself is a level-7 wizard. He addresses that person as an elder. Which means he is the person from the council house.
The presence of big wigs awed her. She almost forgot about the killer standing beside her.
Unlike everyone, Tony finally sees hope. He has been listening to their conversation. The dean's silence gave him hope.
"I know the elders are not ordinary," His mood turns bright.
Swoosh~
The next moment, a few more silhouettes appeared outside of the tower. Their appearance alarmed everyone.
"They are here," The dean said. Then he allowed them to enter inside.
Elder Galvin and Gilbert Reese stepped forward to shield Carolina Slate.
More than 10 people entered inside. They are the bloodline wizards from the Elder House and Council.
Seeing a large number of people, Gilbert Reese's mouth twitches. This is one of the advantages of the Bloodline Hall. They got more people.
For showing support they have randomly sent a few people here.
Tony Burnett felt a heavy weight lifted off his shoulder. Suddenly he spotted the black-dressed women among the supporters.
She was the same woman who gave him the forbidden potion. Right after recognizing her. A cold shiver went down his spine.
Then he averted his gaze in fear of meeting her eyes.
"Dean, what's going on here?" A middle-aged man from the council asked.
Hearing that Dean furrowed his eyebrows. He saw everyone looking at him. The Sub-Taboo Hall won't back away. Because now they have clear evidence.
The Bloodline people came in large numbers. They would create a ruckus for sure.
"What to do now?" He muttered to himself.
"Use the truth-seeking artifact" A mind voice sounded all of a sudden.
Hearing that Dean's heart skipped a beat. He knew the powerhouse had noticed. But he doesn't know which powerhouse is talking to him.
Since the matter has come to do this. He will do his job now.
Looking at the bloodline wizards he said, "Your hall member has committed a murder. Before announcing the punishment, I'm going to use the truth-seeking artifact."
Gasp~
Hearing that the bloodline hall team sucked a cold breath of air. Before coming here, someone tipped off them by saying that Sub-Taboo Hall people capture one of their own.
But they never thought that situation would be like this. Especially the eyes of the black-dressed women turned cold. She didn't expect Tony Burnett to make a blunder before the big plan.
The truth-seeking artifact would expose everyone. She can't let this happen. Then she looked at Tony Burnett who lowered down his head.
"Useless trash," She muttered to herself. She was following the order of someone else. She has nothing to do with the plan.
But the artifact might expose her.
Suddenly, she stepped forward and said, "Dean, you can't use the truth-seeking artifact. The Sub-Taboo Hall people are falsely accusing us."
Her voice quickly attracted everyone's attention. Elder Galvin and Gilbert Reese looked at each other.
