Chapter 172 Quarrel

Chapter 172 Quarrel

When Roning first made the accusation, he said that Lei Sen was involved in the assassination of Blanche at the Colosseum, but he did not provide any strong evidence.

But when Toru showed up wearing clothes embroidered with a golden skull, he linked Leisen to Blanche's assassination.

The outside world knows very little about the Skull and Bones Society's specific members, and even Wushanbao has not yet determined where the organization's base is.

But Lei Sen was able to get the Skull and Bones Society to issue a mission to assassinate Roning, which shows that he has a clear channel of communication with them. It is not even ruled out that he himself is a member of the Skull and Bones Society.

As the only person known to everyone present who had close contact with the Skull and Bones Society, Lei Sen certainly could not escape the suspicion of being involved in the assassination of Blanche.

Luo Ning glanced at Lei Sen, whose face was extremely ugly, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Lei Sen, do you still have any excuses at this point?"

"He seized the resources that should have belonged to Wushanbao, assassinated the Green family's Marina and Malik, and tried to kill me many times. He is also closely related to the assassinations of my father and Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Luo Ning's eyes were sharp, "This is a capital crime!"

"No, you are slandering me!"

Lei Sen growled, "Your testimony is false! This Tom is also false! The assassination of Earl Wiggins and Her Royal Highness the Princess has nothing to do with me!"

"These are all fake; I don't admit it!"

Rhonin said nothing, but another figure jumped down from the terrace. It was Sir Broll, the deputy commander of the Royal Griffin Knights.

Broll landed directly behind Lei Sen and said coldly, "Whether you admit it or not, as long as you are suspicious, you are the subject of my investigation."

In the past few hours, Brower had been worried that the assassination did not yield any valuable suspects. If this was the result, he didn't know how to report to his superiors when he returned.

Now that a suspect has been exposed, how could he let him go?

Broll didn't waste any time and reached out to grab the other person.

Lei Sen suddenly became furious and threw a punch with his backhand. The surging fighting spirit condensed into a huge fist shadow and smashed into the opponent.

"You don't know your limitations!"

Broll snorted coldly, and his right hand turned into a claw that broke through Lei Sen's fist. He grabbed the opponent's fist with unstoppable force and squeezed it hard.

Crack, crack!

Lei Sen's fist was twisted and deformed, and his right hand was directly disabled amid his heart-wrenching screams.

Roning was slightly surprised. Broll's response just now was almost without any big momentum. He only saw that the other party's fighting spirit seemed to burst out, and then he easily broke Lei Sen's attack, and he didn't even open the fighting spirit armor throughout the whole process.

"As expected of the Vice-Captain of the Griffin Knights, I wonder what rank of knight he is?"

At this time, Wiggins, who had been unable to hold back any longer, also spoke up, "Toru, bring Leisen down to me for a thorough interrogation. Find out how much this beast has done to betray Wushan Castle!"

Toru put away the evidence and looked at his son Galil, who immediately came out with the knights and firmly controlled Leisen.

"Count Orson, I am innocent, I am innocent!"

"I also ask Earl Orson to do me justice!"

Lei Sen was completely frightened and no longer cared about maintaining his noble image. He began to roar for help.

Many nobles in the crowd turned their eyes to Orson, who had no strange expression but frowned slightly.

Finally, he said loudly: "Sir Toru, please slow down!"

Orson walked to Lulans' side and said respectfully, "My Lord Marquis, among the evidence submitted by Roning, only this testimony proves that Leisen has a connection with the Skeleton Society, but the authenticity of the testimony still needs to wait until the assassin is escorted to Wushan Castle for trial to be confirmed."

He paused and continued, "So I suggest that before the assassin is brought here, we still need to treat Lei Sen with noble etiquette." "Father-in-law, I don't think there is anything to wait for."

Before Lu Lans could speak, Wiggins said, "I know Luo Ning's character. He doesn't dare to forge a piece of evidence. Then Lei Sen must be a traitor of Wushan Castle!"

Orson didn't say anything, but he had cursed Wiggins several times in his heart.

Your son's performance is countless times better than your father's, but you still say that he has no courage and that you know his character. This is simply a complete lack of self-awareness.

Orson believed that Roning forged this testimony.

"Orson, whether Leisen participated in the assassination of Wiggins and Blanche does need to be tried."

Lu Lan Si spoke slowly, his eyes falling on Ronin in the square, "But the other party has tried to kill Ronin many times; this is a fact. Based on this crime alone, I can deprive him of his noble title and territory."

At this point, he looked at Orson and said, "So now we no longer need to treat such traitors with noble etiquette."

"Sir, isn't it too hasty to make such a decision?

Orson's tone was no longer as respectful as before. "We all know what Ronin's character was like. My granddaughter died because of him. With his notorious past, it's too much of a joke to bring down a nobleman with just a testimony and a witness!"

Blanche, who was standing by, heard Roning being slandered and couldn't help but say:

"Everyone will grow and change, Earl Orson. If it weren't for Ronin's protection yesterday, I would have died under the sword of the Skull and Bones Society. I don't think such a brave and powerful knight would frame a nobleman."

"Blanche, uncle, I want to remind you."

Jesus came over at some point, and without giving the princess any face, he said in front of everyone in a teaching tone:

"Sometimes you shouldn't judge a person based on just one thing. Roning saved you, but that doesn't mean he won't frame someone else."

Blanche frowned slightly, her face tense. Being relatively withdrawn, she didn't know how to refute her uncle.

"Watch your words, Jesus."

Broll went back up onto the terrace. "You have no right to speak to Her Royal Highness in that tone!"

"Also, watch your attitude, Broll. You serve the royal family, and my last name is also 'Alduin'!"

"I'm sorry, but I will always be loyal to His Majesty Bruno, not the Earl of Moonlight Valley!"

Seeing that the argument seemed to be getting more intense, Lu Lansi, sitting on the chair, stood up and said, "Okay, everyone, calm down."

He looked at Orson and said, "Speaking of which, Wushan Fort has handed over the task of destroying the Skull and Bones Society to Black Python City. Orson, you have not achieved anything in the past two months. You even gave the Skull and Bones Society members the time and energy to come to Wushan City to cause trouble. You are responsible for this."

"I..."

Orson was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the responsibility would fall on his head. The key point was that he couldn't refute it.

Rulans retracted his gaze and looked down again, "Toru, take Leisen to the prison, as well as the knights and servants who came with him, and imprison and interrogate them all. Give me an answer tomorrow morning."

"Yes, sir!"

Toru bowed and accepted the order, then quickly left with his men and began to arrest Lord Sean's entourage.

"It's a good thing that we can catch the traitor. Don't let this incident ruin your fun."

Lu Lansi turned around and said to the nobles behind him: "Let's go back to the banquet hall and continue this unfinished event!"

Lu Lansi didn't know whether others were happy, but he was very happy.
