Chapter 720: Why be so nitpicky?

"Du Lao, without proof, you must not slander me," Xu Tian looked at the white-haired old man and said calmly. "With empty words, you want to convict me; I'm afraid it's hard to convince the public."

Zhong Ling looked at Xu Tian unexpectedly upon hearing this.

Xu Tian had used a handgun when he was at the Xiang family before, and everyone present saw it.

Although the people inside the Azure Wolf Hall wouldn't report the Wolf King, if a passerby who was present publicized this matter, it would eventually reach the ears of the Wuji Martial Arts Association.

"Wolf King, are you trying to deny it?" Du Lao said sinisterly. "Everyone present saw your actions at the Xiang family clearly. If you want people not to know, you shouldn't do it. Did you think you could hide what you did from our Wuji Martial Arts Association?"

"At that time, the inspection team of our Wuji Martial Arts Association happened to pass by and saw you using a handgun in violation of the rules. The Wuji Martial Arts Association represents the highest institution of martial arts on Wuji Island; do you think we would frame you at will?"

"Wolf King, Du Lao is right. Many people saw you using a handgun at that time; this cannot be fake. Moreover, we also saved the video as evidence. If you don't believe it, I can play the video for you to see."

A middle-aged man beside Du Lao took out his mobile phone, opened the video, and projected it onto the big screen in the conference room.

Soon, the scene of Xu Tian holding a handgun appeared on the big screen.

"This is a matter between the Wolf King and me. I didn't pursue it; do you need to come and uphold justice?" Just then, the older man who had been held at gunpoint by Xu Tian sneered. "That's the way our boss greets me; I'm happy with it, so what business is it of yours?"

"Heh..." Another young man from the Wuji Martial Arts Association sneered. "Zhuang Shanchang, so you like this way of greeting; you really are a cheap bone!"

The older man called Zhuang Shanchang sneered: "What I like is none of your business. In any case, it's our Azure Wolf Hall's own business. You people from the Wuji Martial Arts Association ran over to hold us accountable; your hands are reaching too far, aren't they?"

"In other words, you are admitting that your leader, the Wolf King, used a handgun without authorization?" Du Lao grasped the key point in Zhuang Shanchang's words and struck a fatal blow.

"This..."

Zhuang Shanchang seemed not to have thought of this point and was stunned for a moment.

Xu Tian sighed in his heart; the people of the Azure Wolf Hall were all too straightforward.

Actually, even if the Wuji Martial Arts Association had a video, so what? As long as he didn't admit it, the Wuji Martial Arts Association couldn't do anything.

But now that Zhuang Shanchang said this, it undoubtedly admitted the crime of using a handgun without authorization for him.

"I didn't say that!" Fortunately, Zhuang Shanchang wasn't stupid and quickly changed his words. "I never said the Wolf King used a handgun without authorization!"

"Oh?" A flash of triumphant pride flashed in Du Lao's eyes. "Then why did you say just now that using a handgun is the way your boss greets you? And you like it very much? Since you like it, it means he must have done it, right?"

"Even if he did, so what?" Zhuang Shanchang knew he couldn't argue, so he simply broke the jar. "But that gun isn't the boss's; it's mine. I like people pointing guns at me, so I carry a handgun with me. How about that? No problem, right?"

"If you want to pursue it, come at me; don't frame our boss!"

"I, Zhuang Shanchang, will take responsibility for my own actions and will never implicate the brothers of the Azure Wolf Hall!"

"Good! Very good!" Du Lao clapped slowly. "Since you admit it, you must accept the punishment. Come, take him back to the headquarters!"

They originally didn't intend to be able to take the Wolf King away; there would always be someone in the huge Azure Wolf Hall to come out and take the blame, but this was enough.

As soon as Du Lao gave the order, the few young men beside him rushed up, intending to catch Zhuang Shanchang.

Just then, Xu Tian suddenly spoke.

"Coming to my territory to catch people, the Wuji Martial Arts Association really has great prestige!"

"I have no opinion on you taking him away, but..."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the members of the Azure Wolf Hall.

"These brothers behind me might not necessarily agree!"

As soon as Xu Tian finished speaking, the high-level members of the Azure Wolf Hall who were standing in the conference room rushed up and blocked the members of the Wuji Martial Arts Association.

"On the territory of our Azure Wolf Hall, who dares to be presumptuous?" A high-level member of the Azure Wolf Hall shouted sternly. "Don't think that just because you are from the Wuji Martial Arts Association, you can run wild here!"

"We people of the Azure Wolf Hall never follow the rules. On our territory, you must follow our rules. If you can't stand it, you have to hold it in!"

"If you want to fight, we are ready at any time, but if you lose, don't cry and say we are bullying the few with the many!"

"Whoever dares to move a hair of Zhuang Shanchang, unless I die!"

"Just because of you dog things, you dare to come to our Azure Wolf Hall to show off?" Zhong Yu also stood out and shouted. "Our Brother Yi has always been willful and does as he pleases. Don't say you; even Yue Moli and the three great families, he doesn't take seriously!"

The members of the Wuji Martial Arts Association looked at the Azure Wolf Hall members protecting Zhuang Shanchang with iron-blue faces, and for a while, they were really helpless.

Without Du Lao's order, they didn't dare to act without authorization.

Zhuang Shanchang had already prepared to take the blame for the Wolf King. If he could exchange his own sacrifice for the boss's safety, it was nothing.

But now, other members of the Azure Wolf Hall were blocking in front of him, united against the outside, giving him an urge to have tears in his eyes.

Being able to know such a group of loyal brothers and a leader who protected him, he could die without regrets.

"I said, you can't take him away," Xu Tian smiled faintly. "These subordinates of mine are hot-blooded; even I cannot influence the decisions they make."

"Heh... since you, the Wolf King, cannot control your subordinates, why don't you let our Wuji Martial Arts Association manage them for you!"

Xu Tian sneered upon hearing this: "Du Lao's hand reaches quite far. So you are determined to pursue this to the end?"

"As a manager of the Wuji Martial Arts Association, I naturally have to enforce the law impartially. Since Zhuang Shanchang has violated the rules, he should be punished. Don't say he is a small Azure Wolf Hall high-level; even the patriarch of the three great families must be treated equally!" Du Lao replied with a strong tone.

On Wuji Island, the use of thermal weapons was a taboo for everyone, even the three great families and other prestigious forces could not be an exception.

But Xu Tian was unmoved.

"Du Lao, Wuji Island does prohibit the use of thermal weapons, but it doesn't prohibit the use of models, right? It's just a simulation model, without even bullets; why do you have to be so nitpicky?"

On Wuji Island, the use of hot weapons is a taboo for everyone; even the three great families and other prestigious factions are no exception.

Yet Xu Tian remained unmoved.

"Elder Du, Wuji Island does indeed prohibit the use of hot weapons, but it doesn't prohibit the use of models, right? It was just a simulation model, not even containing bullets. Why must you be so pedantic?"
