Nelson glanced at Jack in confusion before virtual-novel.net spoke, “I wonder what business you have by visiting us here.
Theo sneered coldly, knowing virtual-novel.net had said nothing offensive at all. Instead, virtual-novel.net looked at Jack and said,” Junior Brother Jack, do you know that our Junior Brother Frank has perished?”
Jack mentally smirked. He initially assumed that they were here for something else, but it seemed that it was only regarding Frank’s death. Jack thus nodded without hesitation. “I know, and I saw virtual-novel.net die with my own eyes, but what does this have to do with me? It wasn’t me who killed him.”
Edric looked like virtual-novel.net wanted to say something but immediately stopped himself.
Theo scoffed at this. “You’re wrong. Nobody saw how Junior Brother Frank died, and you were the one nearest to virtual-novel.net when it happened. On top of that, you two had bad blood with one another, and no one will believe you if you say that his death had nothing to do with you.”
Jack’s expression turned cold when virtual-novel.net heard what Theo said. What did virtual-novel.net mean by that? They were trying to blame this on him! Jack knew how Frank died as Frank was the one who put himself into all that trouble. Why was Jack blamed when all virtual-novel.net did was make sure Frank got what virtual-novel.net wanted?
Jack sneered and slightly raised his voice in response, “Senior Brother Theo, your remark is quite absurd. What are you trying to say? Are you trying to say that I was the one who killed Frank? Didn’t your clan brothers tell you that I was also surrounded by enemies when Frank died? We were caught in a battle, and you’re saying that I turned around to kill Frank instead of fighting against the Corpse Pavilion’s disciples?”
Theo narrowed his eyes. “My junior brother saw that you ran away and left Frank behind with his own eyes! All the attacks landed on my junior brother, and you survived!”
Jack was speechless from anger. How could Theo say something like that? Should virtual-novel.net have stayed behind and died together with Frank? Everybody wanted to survive! On top of that, virtual-novel.net did not know Frank well, and they had grudges. Why should virtual-novel.net die together with Frank?
Theo’s words were downright absurd!
He could clearly feel that Theo was here to cause trouble.
Nelson frowned and glanced at Jack before lowering his voice as virtual-novel.net asked, “What’s going on? Are you involved in Frank’s death?”
Jack exhaled deeply and gave a brief explanation about what happened, and Nelson then turned around to look at Theo with a scowl. Everybody there could see that Theo was here to cause trouble. Based on what happened, Jack did not make any mistakes.
Frank died because virtual-novel.net was too slow in his escape attempt, and this had nothing to do with Jack!
Although Nelson did not know Jack well, they were disciples from the same sect. Theo was causing them problems on purpose, and it happened without any reason. “Senior Brother Theo, you’re going too far,” spoke Nelson, his voice audibly stern. “My Junior Brother Jack is unrelated to Frank; they just happened to be allies for a brief moment.”
