Chapter 1215

Ning Chen didn't even bother to lift his eyes; he simply reached out, directly caught the other person's fireball, and then immediately threw it back.

Ning Chen threw it back several times faster than the man had attacked, leaving the man no time to react at all, and he was struck once again by his own ability.

No one in the scene made any move, just as no one had intervened when the man attacked Ning Chen.

In fact, many in the scene had come with the attitude of watching a show; when the man attacked, they only wondered whether this person who looked like a vase could dodge it.

The fact that Ning Chen directly caught the other person's ability and even turned it into a weapon to attack back was something no one had expected.

In the entire F City, there were hardly more than a few people who could catch a high-level ability user's ability with bare hands.

Ning Chen shook his hand, yawned, and still did not cast a single glance at the man, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.

The man sat in his seat, grinding his teeth; having just been struck again by his own ability, although the damage dealt to his own body would drop sharply, it still added frost to his already injured wounds.

Just as the entire hall fell silent, a stiff voice rang out: "I think we can continue the meeting."

Noah's voice eased the quiet atmosphere around them; the old man on the stage coughed lightly and then spoke.

"Earth Wolf, do not disrupt order, do not attack others."

The warned man only glared at Ning Chen and said nothing.

Seeing that the other party had attacked first without receiving any punishment, Lin Yi and Xu Yue were thoroughly dissatisfied.

But they still remembered what Ning Chen had said: do not speak recklessly.

So the few of them could only discuss in low voices.

"Really, that person suddenly attacked Brother Ning, and the result is just a little verbal warning?!"

"Exactly! It's clearly shielding! If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't have been able to dodge; this is too much!"

"I knew it; they're probably going to shield that man today. Didn't you see how arrogant he was?"

"I reckon that man over there, the one named Noah, has come to hold us accountable."

Xu Yue and Lin Yi spoke so heatedly that they completely failed to notice their voices growing louder, and even in the now-silent hall, their words could be faintly heard.

Ning Chen did not stop them, because what they said was indeed the guess of a normal person; he had initially told them not to speak recklessly, but sometimes speaking more is also helpful.

The crowd around, who originally liked to whisper, all looked far from pleased, and they dared not look in this direction anymore.

Ning Chen let out a soft laugh, a sound far too obvious in the entire space.

This mocking-like laughter made some of those present feel even more ashamed.

"Alright, everyone. Earth Wolf, do you admit to what was said earlier?"

Earth Wolf's face suddenly turned very bad; he might not have expected that, after all the twisting and turning, it still came back to this.

"I, I did nothing wrong! We officially accepted a mission and went out; this time was just an accident. No one expected there to be a mid-level infected there. As for that person, he provoked me first! And, later, later, because I was too scared, so..."

The man's words grew quieter and quieter, obviously lacking confidence.

Lacking confidence was only to be expected, after all, he himself had no real reason to do those things.

As an ability user, being unable to control one's own emotions is no different from those infected.

"Although I made a small mistake, isn't he also at fault? He hurt me so badly!" Now the man's thought was very simple: even if he was to be punished, he had to drag someone down with him.

At this moment, the old man sitting at the very top looked at Ning Chen, as if seeking confirmation of the truth from him.

Ning Chen lifted his head, leaned his back against the chair, and felt a sense of utter boredom.

"What he said is correct; indeed, I made the move, but I do not think I did anything wrong."

Ning Chen's arrogant appearance made many people very dissatisfied; the girl sitting beside Noah pouted and said, "How can you be so self-righteous? If you had used a bit more force back then, Earth Wolf would be gone."

"But," Ning Chen paused for a while, and just as the old man above was about to speak, he continued.

"This was self-defense. I do not think I needed to hold back against someone who wanted to kill my teammate."

Ning Chen spoke these words with force and conviction, staring straight at the person above; with such an open and honest gaze, whether he was lying or not, the other party could tell at a glance.

Hearing Ning Chen's words, the girl beside Noah recalled the man's sudden attack at that time; she opened her mouth, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, and she struggled to hide herself behind Noah.

Those at the top saw the situation below clearly; the old man fell silent for a while, then looked at the man again: "Then, besides this, do you have anything else to refute?"

It was obvious that the old man had already declared that the man's action was his own fault.

The man looked very anxious, desperately organizing his words, but the more anxious he became, the less he could speak.

At this moment, Noah suddenly stood up and came before Ning Chen, a posture as if he intended to trouble Ning Chen.

Just as the man thought he had a chance of salvation, Noah suddenly spoke of something else: "Regarding the initial situation at that time, could someone please tell me?"

Lin Yi and the others exchanged glances; he did not expect the other party to ask them instead of his own team members.

Lin Yi, after his brain raced, quickly stood up, cleared his throat; with such a good opportunity to let everyone know the true story, how could he let it pass? He must make Noah see the true faces of those few people!
