Chapter 551: Confess

As soon as the Trial finished, the Stairway to Heaven disappeared. Karyk's body landed on the ground safely. However, he could see that he was being glared at by everyone in his surroundings, especially the Elders who were embarrassed and the youngsters who were jealous. 

"You little brat, come clean! How did you cheat?!"

"Confess and accept your wrongs and we might not punish you! If you don't..."

"We can understand that your greed got the better of you. However, that doesn't mean you're allowed to cheat!"

One after another, people kept coming to Karyk, scolding him as if they were better than him and he was a fool. 

"You're saying that a mortal was able to cheat in a test created by the Southern General and powerful people like you don't know how?" Karyk asked in return. "Doesn't that mean you're all quite useless? You're the one accusing me. Shouldn't you be the one telling me how I cheated?"
