Chapter 4204 Explanation

Chapter 4204 Explanation
Zong Yang was indeed killed by Linton, although he died from an unknown area-of-effect attack and Linton wasn't targeting him. However, Linton was clearly too lazy to explain.

Upon hearing the news of his son's death, Zong Mingshen swayed once again.

Although there had been some unfavorable speculation before, there was still a glimmer of hope. But now that Linton had confirmed the news and even directly admitted that he was the one who killed him, Zong Mingshen's mind went blank for a moment, and he didn't know what to do.

Upon reflection, he realized he should have thought of these things much earlier. After all, he certainly knew his son's exact level of ability.

Although Zong Yang rarely engages in combat, his strength is undeniable. Few members of the entire Inugami clan can defeat him in a direct confrontation.

He looked down on humans, considering them nothing more than insects. How could these humans possibly kill Zong Yang?

Of course, this excludes Linton, who is an "outlier" despite being human.

So when his son had an accident in the human world, he should have realized it was related to Linton.

"But...but what did he do to anger you..." Zong Mingshen asked subconsciously.

"Oh no..." The elder of the Inugami clan standing nearby knew he was in trouble the moment he heard Munakata's question. Of course, he knew why Munakata was asking that question, but had he forgotten who he was talking to?
As expected, Linton frowned immediately: "No, judging from your tone, you still want an explanation from me, right?"

"Ah? No... this..." Zong Mingshen only came to his senses at this moment and instantly realized the problem with his words. Just as he was about to explain, a huge suction force came from him.

Without urging Linton to raise his hand, the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Induction was activated, directly drawing Zong Mingshen into his hand.

The members of the Inugami clan around them panicked and instinctively wanted to rush forward to help. However, they didn't actually do so because they quickly remembered who the person opposite them was.

Who would dare to go up there? This isn't the first time they've faced Linton. They've all seen how Linton utterly crushed everyone in the Demon Realm during the Demon Alliance meeting. Who would dare to go up there and deliver themselves to death?

No one else dared to speak, but the elder of the Inugami clan, who had been talking the whole time, finally mustered up his courage and spoke up. It has to be said, this guy was incredibly bold: "Lord Linton, the clan leader was just in a moment of panic; he didn't mean it..."

"Oh? So, are you saying you did it on purpose, or by accident?" Linton asked, holding Zong Mingshen in his hand.

At this moment, Zongmingshen was hanging entirely on the ground. Yes, because of its large size, most of it was dragging on the ground as Linton was carrying it, making the situation look somewhat comical. However, Zongmingshen himself seemed to have lost his bones, hanging there completely.

Upon hearing Linton's question, Zong Mingshen seemed to have found a way out and quickly said, "It was an accident, I didn't mean to!"

"Good grief, you're not even going to pick up on my joke? You're really getting cocky. No, you're already cocky, you're not giving me any face at all..."

Zongming Shen didn't understand the reason at all; all he knew was that he was going to die. At this point, he hadn't even remembered that he was a great demon, and seemed to have no intention of resisting.

Seeing that their clan leader was truly doomed, the surrounding members of the Inugami clan seemed to have resigned themselves to their fate, and not one of them stepped forward to fight. It wasn't that these Inugami clan members were bloodthirsty or anything like that; it was just their nature.

Just like a wolf pack in real life, the alpha wolf in a wolf pack has absolute control over the other members of the pack. Even if the other members of the pack fight to the death, they may pose a threat to the alpha wolf, but they will not do so. Instead, they will only show a retreating and cowardly side.

Although Munakamaru was the head of the Inugami clan at that time, in the eyes of all the clan members, Linton was the true "alpha wolf." Therefore, everyone tacitly obeyed the orders of this "alpha wolf," and if he said he wanted to deal with Munakamaru, they would naturally let him do as he pleased.

This recognition of a "leader wolf" has nothing to do with bloodline. It's like how dogs in real life recognize humans as their masters. This is also a kind of "leader wolf" situation, and the Inugami clan is currently in this situation.

"Wait...wait..." Just when everyone thought Linton was about to make a move, a voice came from afar.

Everyone present instinctively looked in the direction from which the sound came, and just then they saw Hiroto Aoki leading a few people out of the administration building.

Indeed, Aoki Hiroto, having regained his senses, rushed straight towards the main entrance. In any case, as the "department head," he had to deal with this matter, and at the very least, he had to be present.

Although they didn't know what had happened, Aoki Hiroto could roughly guess from the sight of Linton walking a dog. After all, they knew Linton quite well, and had even hired several personality analysts to conduct a comprehensive analysis of him.

"Hmm?" Linton looked directly at Hiroto Aoki, clearly not liking anyone interrupting him.

“Please give me a chance to explain.” Aoki Hiroto stepped forward and said, “I must explain Mr. Zongming’s situation to Mr. Zongyang.”

"Goodness, you're going to explain it to it, huh?" Linton hadn't expected this. He thought Aoki Hiroto was going to explain it to him, but instead, the other party was going to explain it to Munakata.

This suddenly dampened Linton's enthusiasm for fighting, and he became somewhat disheartened.

“Mr. Zongming, your son was unintentionally drawn into a battle. One of the parties involved was indeed Mr. Linton, but this was not Mr. Linton’s fault; it was caused by the enemy on the other side. So please don’t let this misunderstanding cause conflict between you two…” Aoki Hiroto said.

He thought the current situation was because the Inugami clan knew that Linton was responsible for Zong Yang's death, which was why they started taking action. But in reality, the Inugami clan didn't even have the guts to cause trouble for Linton.

"You talk too much." Linton frowned, and the next moment he lifted Zong Mingshen up and pressed him down with both hands.

A few soft, squeezing sounds, almost unsettling, rang out. When everyone looked again, Zong Mingshen in Linton's hands had been kneaded into a ball. Yes, a huge, soft, white ball, fluffy and quite cuddly.

The next moment, Linton made a bowling-ball throwing motion and forcefully pushed forward, shouting, "Go!"

With a "whoosh," the white ball that Zong Mingshen had kneaded flew out instantly and disappeared into the night sky in a flash.

"Phew," this relieved all the members of the Inugami clan. Yes, although it looked quite pitiful, with their clan leader being rolled into a ball and thrown around, everyone knew that Linton had kindly spared Zongming Shen.
