Chapter 549: Chapter 351 family_1

Seeing the Family Head’s constant hesitation, the few Elders could no longer wait, uncertain when Cain Scarlet might strike again. By this point, the Nango Family was already hanging on to dear life. Why not pull Sandy Wexler along and create a chance for survival?

Hence, one Elder stepped forth, pointing at Sandy Wexler: “I admit, the death of Abel Scarlet was indeed a plot by our Nango Family, but we were acting under the Lord’s instructions. Without commands from the Lord, how would the Nango Family dare to act?”

The person identified by the Nango Family, Sandy Wexler, was stunned at that moment. What would all this have to do with him? He knew nothing about it. Clearly, the Nango Family was framing him, making him enraged and wishing to tear the accuser apart.

Logan, who was enjoying the spectacle from the side, smiled, marveling at the wits of the Nango Family members. Confronted with Cain Scarlet’s false accusations that they couldn’t explain clearly, they simply implicated the Lord as the main culprit, stirring up the waters thoroughly.

Indeed, they have tried to grasp a straw to survive, but they seemed to forget one thing. Regardless of whether Sandy Wexler was involved or not, once they confessed to being the main culprits, Cain Scarlet would never let them go, and this barrier would become a prison.

If it weren’t for this barrier, perhaps escaping might stand a slender hope. Unless, like him, someone could break the barrier due to his understanding arrays. However, it was clear that none of the more than a thousand members of the Nango Family were able to comprehend arrays.

Sandy Wexler, burning with rage, reproached, “Stop speaking nonsense! From beginning to end, I knew nothing about it. You Nango Family should bear the consequences for your own actions. Don’t blame me for your deeds and then seek to frame me because I refuse to help you!”

Originally, Sandy Wexler intended to react immediately to the other party’s slander, but harbored thoughts that Cain Scarlet would think him guilty, so he was entangled in this argument. At that moment, his resentment towards the Nango Family was massive, considering that he had previously regarded them as close allies.

“Sandy Wexler, if you were not guilty, why are you angry?” Cain Scarlet asked with skepticism. If Sandy Wexler was truly innocent, the people of the Nango Family wouldn’t have framed him without any basis. Furthermore, he didn’t believe that the Nango Family really had such audacity.

Frustrated, Sandy Wexler spread his hands, “In case of being slandered, wouldn’t it be an admission if I don’t refute? Moreover, if it was truly me, I wouldn’t have asked you, Cain Scarlet, to investigate personally. Wouldn’t it work if I just killed the Nango Family members and used them as scapegoats?”

Hearing this, Cain Scarlet also felt it made sense. Once the Nango Family members were dealt with, even if he wanted to investigate, he wouldn’t be able to get to the bottom of it. After all, the dead cannot speak. He had nearly been deceived by these people of the Nango Family.

“If you say Sandy Wexler gave orders, do you have any evidence?” Sandy Wexler turned to the Elder who had pointed him out, leaving the other party lost for words. After all, they originally intended to drag down the Lord together – and Sandy Wexler was completely ignorant of the situation, so how could there be any evidence?

Seeing this, Cain Scarlet continued to probe, “When exactly did these orders come, who was in the know, what were the specific action plans? I will cross-check each of your answers with Ernest Nango’s. If there is a single discrepancy, it means you are lying.”

Seeing this, the Elder panicked, fell to his knees, and confessed that everything was his slander. He pleaded for Cain Scarlet to not blame the Nango Family and took all responsibility for his words, willing to take the fall for it.

“Despicable.” With a casual wave of his hand, Cain Scarlet unleashed a Rule, and the Elder was reduced to dust. Realizing how close he had come to wrongly accusing someone, he became furious. What if he had truly believed their words and fought Sandy Wexler, only to have the Nango Family laughing on the side?

The Nango Family Head let out a long sigh, turning to his clan: “As I said before, this strategy wouldn’t work. Both Cain Scarlet and Sandy Wexler have lived for thousands of years. They won’t be deceived by mere words. You are all taking things for granted.” freewebnσvel.cѳm

“Family Head, what should we do?” All the members of the Nango Family were panicked. They had exhausted all strategies and had offended both the Lords. The consequences the Nango Family would face are imaginable, with none of the over a thousand members being able to survive tomorrow.

“After much consideration, there is only one solution at present, the sacrifice of most people in exchange for a chance for the younger generation to survive.”

The Nango Family head’s gaze was as sharp as a torch as he looked at the Elders: “We confess everything. It was all orchestrated between the elders and stewards. The young disciples were ignorant. Cain Scarlet certainly will not vent his anger on them, which is the only way to preserve the bloodline of the Nango Family.”

At this point, everyone fell silent. With this decision, it was inevitable that a large part of the members would face death. No one wasn’t afraid in the face of death, they were just facing a sure-death conclusion. However, being able to preserve a portion of the descendants was the condition everyone wanted to seize.

To these Elders, even if they would die, there would still be their own blood among the young disciples. It would ensure the continuity of their bloodline and prevent it from being severed at their level. Therefore, after much consideration, they silently agreed to the Family Head’s proposal.

With the clan’s consent, the Nango Family Head stood out: “I was the mastermind, and all the elders in the family were my accomplices. The reason we wanted to kill Abel Scarlet was to provoke a war between the two Lords and take advantage of the situation to gain profit.”
