Chapter 721: What is the purpose?

"A simulation model?" Old Du was slightly taken aback.

"Old Du, you are at an age where you can no longer distinguish between a model and a real gun; I can understand that." Amidst the shocked gazes of the people from the Wuji Martial Arts Association, Xu Tian picked up the remote control for the large screen and rewound the video to the segment where he fired the gun. "Look closely, was there a bullet fired when I pulled the trigger?"

The crowd remained silent.

Indeed, when Xu Tian fired, no bullet came out of the barrel; otherwise, Zhuang Shanchang's skull would have been blown apart by Xu Tian long ago, and he would have become a corpse.

Old Du's eyelids twitched, but his expression remained calm.

"Leader Ding, what evidence do you have to prove that the gun was a simulation model?"

"Then what evidence does Old Du have to prove that it wasn't a simulation model? The burden of proof lies with the accuser. Since you cannot produce evidence, I am afraid I cannot accept this disciplinary result."

Xu Tian spread his hands.

"You neither saw a bullet, nor was anyone hit, injured, or killed by the pistol at the time. Unless you found the shell casing at the scene and kept it as evidence, this is just baseless talk—it is framing me!"

"If you could produce evidence, I, as the leader, would absolutely not shield Zhuang Shanchang. I would personally escort him to the Wuji Martial Arts Association to await your judgment. Can you produce it?"

"You! You are simply being unreasonable!" The member of the Wuji Martial Arts Association who had secretly filmed the video was so angry that his face twisted.

This Wolf King was truly too good at playing the rogue!

But no matter how angry or unwilling they were, they were helpless.

Because they truly could not produce any evidence.

"You come to my Azure Wolf Hall to stir up trouble without being able to produce evidence; do you really think I am easy to bully?" Xu Tian stared coldly at Old Du. "Today, you people from the Wuji Martial Arts Association must give me an explanation!"

Old Du stared at Xu Tian with a gloomy gaze.

He had long heard that the Wolf King Ding Yi was arrogant and never followed the rules. He had originally thought he was just a reckless brute, but he hadn't expected the man to be so eloquent and cunning.

This person seemed to be very different from the rumors.

"Enough, these trivial matters are unimportant. I came to find you today for something important." Old Du knew he could not convict the Azure Wolf Hall for unauthorized use of firearms, so he stopped wasting time and chose to change the subject.

"Heh..." Xu Tian sneered.

This old guy.

Coming to the Azure Wolf Hall to find trouble, his ultimate goal was not to enforce the law; he definitely had other motives.

As for what they were plotting, Xu Tian did not know.

However, organizations like the Wuji Martial Arts Association that prided themselves on justice were all a bunch of fame-seeking hypocrites. Nothing good would come of them looking for him.

"Old Du, this is not an unimportant trivial matter. It concerns the reputation of my Azure Wolf Hall brothers; it absolutely cannot be taken lightly." Xu Tian did not give the other party a chance to change the subject. "To me, nothing is more important than face. If Old Du doesn't give me an explanation, I'm afraid I won't be able to discuss anything else with you."

The people from the Wuji Martial Arts Association gritted their teeth, glaring at Xu Tian with hatred, wishing they could tear him to pieces with their eyes alone.

It was clearly Ding Yi who had violated the rules, yet now, not only had he used clever arguments to muddle through, but he was also demanding an explanation from the Wuji Martial Arts Association. He was simply pushing his luck!

"Then, Leader Ding, what kind of explanation do you want?" Old Du narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Old Du is a manager of the Wuji Martial Arts Association; do you not even understand these basic social graces?" Xu Tian feigned surprise. "If you are wrong, you must apologize, and the apology must be sincere. Even a three-year-old knows this; surely you don't?"

"Ding Yi, don't be too presumptuous!"

Xu Tian's words made the members of the Wuji Martial Arts Association explode with rage.

"Who do you think you are? Are you worthy of having Old Du apologize to you?"

"That's right, we won't pursue the matter of you using a pistol privately, so don't be ungrateful!"

"So, you are not prepared to admit your mistake?" Xu Tian's eyes darkened. Suddenly, he flashed in front of the indignant young man, kicked him to the ground with one blow, and then, with lightning speed, stepped on his chest.

"Who do I think I am?"

Xu Tian applied a little pressure with his foot, and the sound of bones cracking could be faintly heard.

"Ah..." The young man, caught off guard, let out a shrill scream as he was knocked to the ground.

"Since you don't understand, I will tell you!"

Xu Tian lowered his head slightly, staring at the pained young man with deep, calm eyes.

"I am the leader of the Azure Wolf Hall. Here, I am the rule!"

The people from the Wuji Martial Arts Association never expected Xu Tian to dare to take action. Now, they wanted to step forward to help, but they didn't dare to act rashly.

"Do you understand now?"

Xu Tian lifted his foot as if nothing had happened.

He walked back to the camp of the Azure Wolf Hall members.

"If there is anyone else who doesn't understand, I don't mind teaching them how to behave personally!"

"Very good! Leader Ding is indeed a man of decisive action!" Old Du glanced at the young man groaning on the ground. "This matter was a lack of consideration on the part of our Wuji Martial Arts Association. Since we were wrong, we will apologize."

The young man climbed up from the ground, somewhat unwillingly, his expression disheveled. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xu Tian say again.

"Old Du is truly senile. Is a small fry like him worthy of apologizing to me?"

This sentence made the eyes of the Wuji Martial Arts Association members present turn red with anger.

Ding Yi actually wanted Old Du to apologize personally; this was simply bullying them too much!

"You..." A cold glint flashed in Old Du's eyes, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Sorry, it was our lack of consideration!"

Hearing Old Du apologize personally, the members of the Azure Wolf Hall stood tall and proud, their faces full of pride.

They had long found the people from the Wuji Martial Arts Association an eyesore; being able to make them eat humble pie today was truly satisfying.

"Old Du should apologize to Zhuang Shanchang, who was wronged; otherwise, you are being too insincere." Xu Tian's tone remained calm, but his words were unyielding.

"Don't push your luck!" a Wuji Martial Arts Association member gritted out.

"Shut up!" Old Du waved his hand at the man, then said to Zhuang Shanchang, "We wronged you."

"Next time, remember to investigate clearly before coming to stir up trouble. Before you have evidence, don't go barking randomly!"

Zhuang Shanchang was not afraid of offending Old Du; in any case, their Azure Wolf Hall people absolutely could not lose in terms of momentum.

"Leader Ding, can we talk about serious business now?" Old Du looked at Xu Tian again.

"Old Du is indeed capable of bending and stretching; I admire you." Xu Tian made a gesture of invitation and sat down in the seat opposite Old Du.

Being able to make Old Du apologize voluntarily had already exceeded his expectations; now he should give the other party a way out.

Although Xu Tian did not want to offend the people of the Wuji Martial Arts Association, he was now the Wolf King, and with that man's unruly personality, he certainly would not let the matter rest in the face of such a situation.

Between having his identity exposed by Zhong Ling and offending the Wuji Martial Arts Association, he chose the latter to save his life.

Anyway, they couldn't get a handle on him, so naturally, they couldn't do anything to him.

"What is the main purpose of Old Du coming to find me this time?"
