Chapter 2095 Framing

The strategist was wearing almost nothing but a set of woolen clothes.

He took everything out of his pockets and showed them off one by one.

"Hey! This is my key, car key, and keychain. Is there a problem with this? Is there no problem?!"

"Hey! This is my sachet, sword, and jade pendant. They've been with me for years. You all recognize them, right?"

"Hey! This is my wallet. It contains my ID card, cash, and phone. Does it light up? Is it round?"

"Let me see this paper package! Look! It's round, shiny, like a luminous pearl that glows in the dark, right in my pocket..."

Everyone looked at the strategist.

The three brothers stared wide-eyed, completely taken aback.

Zhao Ritian snapped his hand up, pointed at him, and screamed, "You actually stole it!?"

The strategist roared in fury, spinning around and stomping his feet: "What the hell is going on! What's going on! What the hell is going on?!"

The strategist pointed at the luminous pearl on the ground: "Who is this! Which bastard stuffed this luminous pearl into my pocket!?"

Zhao Ritian pointed at him and angrily shouted, "So you admit this is your pocket?!"

The strategist looked at the sect leader: "Sect leader... I... Sect leader, please listen to me... I would never steal, why would I steal? These things will all be mine in the future..."

The three brothers exclaimed together, "Huh!?"

"no……"

The strategist's mind was in complete disarray: "What I mean is... well... no, I mean! I stole it, and then I displayed it myself. Am I out of my mind?"

Zhao Ritian pouted: "Maybe they're just trying to make us think that way."

The strategist pointed at Zhao Ritian and said, "Shut up!"

Zhao Ritian angrily retorted, "I won't shut it down! You can shut it down if you want! Why should I shut it down!?"

Zhao Ritian began to berate the strategist:

"Look at your pathetic state! You have a weasel-like face, a dog's head, a pointed mouth, monkey cheeks, and a rebellious bone in your head. You don't look friendly at all!"

"How dare you steal the sect leader's luminous pearl? If you dare to steal the luminous pearl today, you dared to steal the sect leader's wife yesterday!"

The strategist roared, "I'll fucking kill you with one palm strike!"

"stop!"

The sect leader walked up to him with a gloomy face. Lu Chengwen picked up the luminous pearl and handed it to the sect leader.

He leaned closer: "Sect Master, something's fishy. Although the strategist stole the Sect Master's wife, the fact that he didn't move the luminous pearl in time and left it on his person is indeed very suspicious."

The strategist initially thought Lu Chengwen was speaking up for him, but suddenly sensed something was amiss:

"Hey, Xiaowen, you son of a bitch... when did I ever steal the sect leader's wife?"

Lu Chengwen turned to look at him: "Is it even worth it to worry about these things now?"

The strategist's eyes widened: "Damn it, I can't even clear my name as fast as you guys can frame me! I didn't! Sect Leader, I swear to the Night-Shining Pearl, I didn't!"

The sect leader held the luminous pearl, rubbing it back and forth, squinting his eyes as he pondered.

Long Aotian rubbed his chin and said, "That means he has betrayed the sect leader, is a traitor, and is in cahoots with Huo Wendong. He's letting a wolf into the house, dragging Huo Wendong along to make money off the sect leader."

The strategist shook his head: "Sect Master, since those three arrived at our Cleaver Sect, in just a few days, the entire Cleaver Sect has changed! Don't you find them suspicious?"

Lu Chengwen said, "We spoke up for you, and you still framed us!?"

The strategist roared, "Are you speaking up for me?! Huh!"

Zhao Ritian said, "You colluded with outsiders to plot against the sect leader's land! You stole the sect leader's family heirloom luminous pearl! And you often slept with the sect leader's wife! We're all speaking up for you, and you still don't appreciate it!?"

The strategist roared in injustice and anger, "I didn't! I didn't sleep with the sect leader's wife!"

"Of course you can't sleep! Look at yourself, you pathetic sight!"

Long Aotian said, "Since you admit to colluding with Huo Wendong to steal the luminous pearl, then things are simple."

The strategist pointed at him: "I didn't admit it! No! Stop talking nonsense!"

Lu Chengwen: "So you're saying that even though you did it, you'll never admit it, right?"

"I don't respect you at all! I never did that!"

Zhao Ritian: "The luminous pearl was put in your pocket by us! Huh!?"

"I don't know! I didn't steal it!"

Long Aotian: "Caught red-handed and you still deny it! If this were at the police station, they'd cut off your penis!"

"What the hell is this police station... You three get out of here!"

The strategist walked up to the sect leader: "Sect leader! Sect leader—! After all these years... don't you still trust me?"

The sect leader, his face grim, gripped the luminous pearl tightly.

"Trustworthy".

The strategist breathed a sigh of relief.

The sect leader held the bead: "The framing by the luminous pearl is too obvious. Hmph, did they think I was someone so easily fooled?"

Zhao Ritian said, "Sect Leader, should we kill Huo Wendong?"

Huo Wendong was taken aback: "Hey, hey, hey! I only conspired with him to take your land, I knew nothing about stealing the beads! You can't detain me! I'm a member of the Huo family!"

The strategist looked at Huo Wendong and asked, "Can you speak human language?"

"Aha!" Zhao Ritian jumped up and pointed at the strategist: "You really colluded with Huo Wendong!?"

The strategist gritted his teeth: "Business! Business! I'm talking business! How can I profit from this if I don't deceive Huo Wendong?"

The sect leader narrowed his eyes.

Huo Wendong was terrified: "Hey, hey, hey, explain yourself! It was the people from Skynet who said you were their mole, that they helped you get that land, and that the entire Kitchen Knife Sect would be yours... Now who are you trying to prove your loyalty to?"

Huo Wendong said to the sect leader, "I don't want the land anymore. He's the traitor. I knew absolutely nothing about stealing the luminous pearl, really."

The strategist pointed at Huo Wendong: "You're spouting nonsense!"

Lu Chengwen sneered: "Wow, Huo Wendong framed you, tsk tsk tsk, it's very believable!"

The strategist swung his palm and yelled, "I'll chop you to death, you bastard!"

The sect leader grabbed Lu Chengwen and pulled him away, then exchanged a slap with the strategist.

The strategist was shocked: "Sect Master..."

The doorkeeper, his face grim, said, "Even if it's a frame-up, strategist, there's no need to rush to kill someone to cover it up. Don't you trust my judgment?"

"My subordinates dare not!"

The strategist said, "Please, Sect Leader, discern right from wrong and clear my name! Execute these three scoundrels who have stirred up trouble on the spot!"

The sect leader smiled and said, "President Chen, President Huo, there has been a small mishap at home. Please forgive me for making you both laugh."

Chen Mengyun quickly said, "It's alright, Sect Leader, please take care of your family matters first. I'll take my leave."

Huo Wendong said, "I'll be going now too. We'll contact each other later."

"Wait a minute!"

The sect leader said, "My business has been ruined, but the culprit hasn't been found yet. Please rest for a bit. Once I've dealt with this matter, we can continue our business discussion."

Huo Wendong sounded a little aggrieved: "No... it's your family matter, you can talk about it yourselves, I just..."

Lu Chengwen gave Chen Mengyun a look.

Chen Mengyun was unsure, but Lu Chengwen tried to hint at it.

Chen Mengyun's face turned cold: "Sect Leader, I respect your seniority in the martial arts world, but you don't seem to respect me much! Where I, Chen Mengyun, go or not, you can't keep me here, no matter how you look at it."

"Oh?"

The sect leader sneered, "Is that so?"

Chen Mengyun said, "Xue Ning!"

Hua Xuening suddenly sprang out: "I'll kill you!"
