142: I want evidence

"If you have evidence, then bring it out," Old Master Gao said with a sweep of his sleeve, his arrogance on full display.

At this moment, Old Master Gao had to maintain his composure; otherwise, he would surely be exposed.

"Fine! Old Master Gao, I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it!" Zhang's Face darkened, his eyes glinting with ferocity.

Old Master Gao felt a hint of lingering fear; he didn't know exactly what kind of evidence they had.

However, a sliver of hope remained in his heart—what if Zhang was just bluffing?

If so, Old Master Gao would still have some room to maneuver!

"Lord Wang, come out!" Zhang called out.

And just at that moment.

Upon hearing that name, a cold light flashed in Old Master Gao's eyes.

Old Master Gao gasped, trying his best to calm himself down.

How could it be Lord Wang?

The Host from the Auction House actually didn't die?

What on earth was going on!

"Master, what should we do?" The Butler gasped, his Face grim and filled with helplessness.

The Butler naturally knew Lord Wang's identity as well.

Yet, the person who should have been killed had appeared here.

This was simply unbelievable.

"Lord Zhang!" Lord Wang stepped out, emerging from the crowd.

"Old Master Gao, do you recognize this man?" Zhang looked up, gazing at Old Master Gao on the high platform.

And just at that moment.

A cold light flashed in Old Master Gao's eyes as he gasped, struggling to remain calm.

"So it's the Host from the Auction House. Of course, I recognize him," Old Master Gao replied.

"Since you recognize him, Old Master Gao, that makes things easier. Lord Wang was pursued by the Gao Family last night. Are you aware of this?" Zhang questioned him again.

In truth, Zhang already possessed evidence, and now Lord Wang served as a witness.

However, Zhang couldn't just slaughter the entire Gao Family without saying a word; that would be against the rules.

Naturally, the people of Yizhou City didn't want to see such a scene either.

The Gao Family was a powerhouse in Yizhou City; if even they were to fall, the other families would likely... "Oh my, such a thing happened yesterday? I truly had no idea! Well? Is Lord Wang alright?" Old Master Gao said, deliberately making small talk.

"However, seeing that Lord Wang looks quite spirited, it seems he is doing fine."

"Well, Lord Zhang? Is this the evidence you spoke of?"

The corner of Old Master Gao's mouth curled into a sneer.

Watching this.

With a dark expression, Zhang said eerily, "That's right, he is the witness. When Lord Wang was being hunted yesterday, he saw the Faces of the assassins clearly!"

Upon hearing this.

Old Master Gao's heart trembled, and he lowered his head to reflect.

Last night, when Old Master Gao gave the orders, he had specified that everyone involved must hide their identities and never let anyone know they were from the Gao Family!

But even if Lord Wang knew he was being hunted, how could he know who the pursuers were?

"Even if he saw them, so what? Is Lord Wang trying to say the killers are in the Gao Family?"

Old Master Gao's Face darkened, his gaze narrowing as he stared intently at Lord Wang.

If Lord Wang truly dared to say that.

Old Master Gao would ensure that he killed Lord Wang before his own end.

"Exactly! I was hunted by assassins from your Gao Family last night. Old Master Gao, I'm truly curious, why on earth did you want to kill me?" Lord Wang's Face was grim, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Lord Wang stepped forward and stood before Old Master Gao.

At this moment, Lord Wang looked up, his bright eyes staring fixedly at Old Master Gao.

Thinking back to last night, if not for Lord Wang's good fortune, he would have already met the King of Hell.

"Lord Wang, you must have evidence when you speak! You say the Gao Family hunted you, but what proof do you have?" Old Master Gao said with a slight smile.

Facing this situation, Old Master Gao was still able to cope.

Lord Wang looked up at Old Master Gao's loathsome expression, clenching his fists tightly.

If he could, Lord Wang would have loved to strike and kill Old Master Gao immediately.

"Fine, then does Old Master Gao dare to have all the Disciples of the Gao Family stand forward? I recognize the assassins. As long as I identify them, everything will be clear," Lord Wang said, holding his head high.

Upon hearing this.

Zhang felt quite helpless and let out a sigh.

If this were a good method, he would have done it already.

Setting aside whether Old Master Gao would let the assassins step forward, even if they did.

Old Master Gao would only need to say it was an individual act unrelated to the Gao Family. At that point, Mulan Manor would have no recourse.

"Fine, but if there are no killers in my Gao Family, how will Mulan Manor apologize?" Old Master Gao's Face was grim; he already had a counter-strategy.

Old Master Gao said this deliberately to force a promise out of Mulan Manor.

After all, once this matter was over.

If the issue wasn't resolved, the Gao Family would lose Face in Yizhou City.

If word got out, the Gao Family would truly lose a lot of Face.

"This..." Lord Wang was a bit conflicted. If Old Master Gao had some trick up his sleeve and caused Mulan Manor to lose Face.

Lord Wang wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility.

And just then.

Zhang reached out and gently patted Lord Wang's shoulder.

Then, Zhang stepped forward and stood before everyone. "Fine! As long as Old Master Gao is willing to bring out everyone from the Gao Family, if no assassin is among them, our Mulan Manor will personally apologize to the Gao Family!"

"From now on, the Gao Family will be the honored guests of our Mulan Manor!"

Zhang raised his hands high. He spoke with such seriousness that it didn't seem like he was joking at all.

After a long while.

After contemplating for a long time, Old Master Gao finally gave an answer.

"Good! This is what Mulan Manor has said. Don't you dare go back on your word when the time comes!" The corner of Old Master Gao's mouth curled into a sneer.

But just then.

The Butler was somewhat worried and hurried forward.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone.

The Butler whispered in his ear, "Master, but those assassins are right here in the manor. What if they are truly recognized?"

"What are you afraid of? I don't believe there would be a traitor within our Gao Family!" Old Master Gao's Face was grim.

"Last night, even if this Lord Wang knew someone was hunting him, how would he know it was done by our Gao Family?"

"I think Mulan Manor has no evidence at all. They came here just to trick us into talking."

"As long as we don't admit it, Mulan Manor can't do anything to us!"

After hearing this.

The Butler nodded slightly, gasping as he tried to calm himself.
