Chapter 4157 Listen to advice
This small explosion was obviously no threat to Linton, and naturally he quickly appeared in front of System Black, only to find System Black handing the camera to Matsumoto Yoshiji.

Matsumoto Yoshiji actually took it without thinking, and the two of them seemed to be getting along very well.

It wasn't until Linton's warning of betrayal that the two were brought back to their senses.

Matsumoto Yoshishi was initially taken aback, completely unaware of what was happening. After all, he had no intention of betraying anyone. Aside from the fact that all his current success was thanks to Linton, for which he was extremely grateful, the bigger problem was—who would dare, brother?

He was puzzled as to why Linton suddenly uttered such a sentence, and then immediately realized that his current behavior seemed to be somewhat problematic.

That's right, I was actually standing with the enemy. Not only did we not fight, but the enemy actually saved me and even checked the camera to make sure it wasn't broken before returning it to me.

Thinking about it this way, there really does seem to be a problem. He even shifted his perspective to Linton's, and it seemed like he really had betrayed them.

“No…” Realizing the problem, Matsumoto Yoshishi quickly said to Linton, “I didn’t betray you…”

That being said, just looking at the way Linton was looking at him, he himself felt it was a bit hard to explain.

His mind raced, and then he immediately came up with a brilliant idea: to simply sell out the system, Xiao Hei, who was right next to him.

"This is all his conspiracy!" Matsumoto Yoshishi said, pointing at the system Xiao Hei. "This guy did it on purpose. I'm not a combatant at all and have no impact on the battle. He just deliberately saved me to cause a misunderstanding between me and you, Boss. This is all his way of trying to annoy you, Boss!"

That's right, friendships can be fragile. Just moments ago, Matsumoto Yoshishi thought the other person, who also liked cameras, must be a good person, and now he's directly accusing him to his face. He might not even know if he's right or wrong, but right now, getting past Linton is clearly the priority.

"Oh? Really? I just don't believe it," Linton said, squinting. Of course, he knew the truth; Matsumoto Yoshiji was truly innocent. But that didn't matter; there were even more innocent victims out there.

That's right, at this moment, the system Xiao Hei stepped forward to take the blame. He stepped forward and let out a strange, cackling laugh: "Heh, I didn't expect you to find out. Yes, I just wanted to annoy you, so what? I just didn't expect the plan to go so smoothly. Now, even if you've found out, so what? Once a crack appears, it's hard to repair. Can you still trust your subordinates 100% now?"

This argument is somewhat nonsensical and has many flaws. What does "disgusting you" even mean? What kind of argument is that? The reasoning is also very flimsy.

However, System Xiao Hei had no choice but to go along with it, because at that moment he didn't know how to explain the current situation.

He knew perfectly well why he saved Matsumoto Yoshishi, but how could he prevent Linton from knowing the reason? He had been struggling with this issue. Now that Matsumoto Yoshishi had openly accused him of trickery, he conveniently had a reason. Of course, he couldn't admit it directly, otherwise, would Linton believe him? If Matsumoto Yoshishi said he did it on purpose, and he nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, I did it on purpose," wouldn't that only arouse more suspicion and make it seem like he was protesting too much?

He couldn't let Matsumoto Yoshishi be suspected by Linton, since Matsumoto Yoshishi was actually serving him now, and he couldn't let Linton kill him.

So, with no other option, System Black decided to take the blame on the spot, barely managing to make up for it. As for whether Linton believed it or not, System Black said that it had really tried its best; otherwise, how else could it explain it?

"You're so despicable!" Matsumoto Yoshishi was the only one who was genuinely anxious upon hearing System Black's theory of rifts. From his perspective, System Black truly believed that's what he was thinking; otherwise, why would it save him? Give me an explanation!

So he really was deliberately trying to drive a wedge between himself and his boss, Linton. What if Linton actually believed this guy's lies and stopped trusting him like before?
He had once been neglected by Linton, and it was only through his own courage and determination that he secured the opportunity, which led Linton to reuse him. He didn't want to go through that situation again.

At this moment, he even felt ashamed of himself for having just thought the other person was a good person. It seems that there are scoundrels among people who like photography, and the one in front of him was one of them.

"Boss, believe me, this guy did it on purpose. My loyalty to you is as clear as day!" Matsumoto Yoshishi quickly expressed his loyalty to Linton. After speaking, he nervously looked at Linton, waiting for his reaction.

"Mmm, it's alright, I won't fall for their trap." Linton nodded in agreement. This made Matsumoto Yoshishi breathe a sigh of relief.

The system assistant, Xiao Hei, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They actually passed? This is too lucky! Is Linton really that easy to fool?
System Xiao Hei thought about it carefully, and it did seem to match his impression. Because he had spent some time with Linton before, the reality was that Linton handled the mental work, while Aizen was the one who formulated the plans. Linton's main job was... to cause trouble everywhere, keeping Aizen busy patching up all sorts of loopholes.

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem like there's any problem.

However, he couldn't be careless. Thinking of this, he decided to fill in the gaps and continued to say to Linton, "Really? But I feel like something's not right... Oh, I remember now, during the attack just now, it seemed like your boss wanted to kill you too, right? Don't you really have any thoughts on that?"

After saying that, he looked at Linton again and said, "If I were you, I would nip this problem in the bud."

System Xiao Hei deliberately said this to justify his earlier statement. As the enemy, he was constantly sowing discord, and theoretically, given that it was clearly a divisive tactic, Linton should have trusted Matsumoto Yoshishi more. It was wrong of him to keep speaking up for Matsumoto Yoshishi, wasn't it?

"I didn't!" Matsumoto Yoshishi quickly said, genuinely anxious, pointing at the system Xiao Hei and saying, "Boss, look, he's deliberately trying to sow discord."

“I think this guy has a point. There’s bound to be a thorn in our side,” Linton suddenly said. “After thinking about it, to avoid you betraying me at a crucial moment later, I might as well just eliminate you now and be done with it.”
