The Legacy System

567 Chapter 567

The one who felt pained the most at this situation was certainly Ling Family Master, who couldn't accept such an outcome.

All this time he had been going after Cui Xie and his gains, but the problem was that Cui Xie's gains were already gobbled up.

Even if he wanted to make things difficult for Cui Xie, there was nothing he could get out of it. In fact, there were, but it was only problems with the Leaders and the Cui Family.

He only had to lose if he continued with this issue and had nothing to gain. But of course, he couldn't let things end that simple, as he said in a clearly disbelieving voice,

"Hehehe~! And why should we believe your words, Cui Xie!? You are someone that admitted to having worked with a terrorist, it wouldn't be much of a problem for you to make up some lies, would it!?"

The whole crowd seemed to have a new spark of enlightenment as they once again looked toward Cui Xie like they were trying to pierce his soul and his intentions.

"Heheheheh~! Ling Family Master, it seems like tonight you have already decided to become a full clown!

First of all, I didn't admit any dealing with a terrorist! I said that I helped a Master of Alchemy sell his amazing product to this Auction House.

If we go by your line of logic, then the Mu and Cao Families that bought the pills in the Auction, and the Auction House that allowed these pills to be auctioned deal with terrorists as well.

I don't think that half of the country's leadership would deal with terrorists against our own country, don't you think!?

Secondly, I don't ask you to believe me, nor do I care about what you believe, that is your personal issue, the personal issue of everyone here as well!

But of course, I don't want to be the center of attention and suspicion either! For that reason, I plan to clean my name and myself in a simple way!"

With that said Cui Xie started taking off his clothes piece after piece, without caring that he was under the gaze of the men and women in front of him.

"Cui Xie what the hell do you think you are doing!?"

Of course, many men who had come accompanied that night with their daughters, wives, or cousins, started questioning his actions, while Cui Xie said in a simple and cool voice,

"Isn't obvious already!? I will strip in my birthday suit in order to relieve all of your doubts about me hiding some pills still!

Of course, there might still be doubts remaining in your hearts despite all this, so I am planning on staying here like that until you have checked and confirmed everything.

After all, what other choice do I have, even my own family won't care about me, I can't expect you guys to help me, and believe me!"

All the people in the crowd couldn't believe their ears. What Cui Xie was doing was totally unexpected.

It was true that all of them had doubts in their minds and hearts, but they never thought that Cui Xie would go this far.

Even Ling Family Master couldn't find a weak spot to attack him and his actions. After all, Cui Xie was practically stripping naked of everything, and letting them investigate.

In this situation, there was nothing he could do besides stepping forward and controlling everything. He had to find evidence of Eric hiding something, only like that would he be able to salvage some face.

Of course, at that point, his mind wasn't working properly. Otherwise, he would have realized a simple logic, since Cui Xie dared to make such a move, it meant that he had confidence he could go away with it.

Either that, or he was telling the truth and there was nothing he was hiding from these people. No matter which it was, one could understand that victory was in Cui Xie's hands.

Well, this situation wasn't set in stone either, as while there might be no evidence to blame Cui Xie, it didn't mean that he couldn't set some up.

"What is this Cui Xie!? How come it's in your pocket!?"

Sometimes much evidence wasn't needed, and a simple piece of paper was enough to create trouble. The piece of paper that Ling Family Master set in Cui Xie's pocket was his personal valuable.

This piece of paper carried information about the arrival of a powerful group of mercenaries from abroad, that would add to the strength of his Ling Family and help them in dealing with the Cao Family.

Normally he wouldn't ever think of using such an important piece of paper to set him up, but he wasn't left with much of a choice.

Upon witnessing the piece of paper the whole crowd was thrown in an uproar, as it looked like Cui Xie had missed in cleaning up all evidence.

"Were you thinking that no one would dare to search your clothes, and you as long as you put such a show!? What are you going to blabber for yourself now brat!?"

Striking the iron while it was hot, Ling Family Master continued with his rambling, trying to take the crowd to his side.

Even if the whole crowd knew that he had intentionally set up this scheme to deal with Cui Xie, none of them would dare to talk for fear of antagonizing his Ling Family.

Unfortunately, he forgot an important piece of information, his Ling Family was already mortal enemies with the Cao Family, which would never give up an opportunity to kick them in the butt.

"You shameless bastard, have you gone so rotten as you even try to set up someone from the younger generation!?

Do you even have any regard for face and dignity anymore!? I am sure that your Ling Family Ancestors are turning around in their graves due to the shame you are bringing upon your family!"

Upon hearing those words the face of the Ling Family Master turned especially lively and colorful, even better than his liver's color, as he was extremely incensed by the Cao Family Master.

"Cao Family Master, you can eat whatever you want, and shit whatever you want, but be careful of what you speak!"

"Hmph~! Do I even need to be careful with a shameful and rotten person like yourself!? You know better than anyone what you just did, and why you did it!"

"Cao Family Master do you want to lose all decorum and fight here to the death!?"

"Hmph~! So what if I want to, do you dare accompany me!?"

It looked like the gunpowder was spread all over the place, and just a simple spark would actually be enough to make the whole place perish in a horrifying explosion.

The two Family Masters were head to head, while Cui Xie just smiled brightly at the situation, as he said,

"Well, Ling Family Master don't keep us here on strands like this, will you! Tell us if you found anything else, and after I will clearly explain everything I can!

After all, today I won't be able to leave this place without quenching all of your doubts, can I!?"

Cui Xie's countenance, his calm and cool disposition that looked like he wouldn't budge even if a mountain suddenly came running over his head, was quite dashing, heroic, and handsome.

Many beauties at the venue couldn't help but look at him favorably, forgetting about their dates, or relatives.

The people who were the most surprised about this matter though were certainly Ling Family Master and the rest of the big families elders.

To them, Cui Xie was just too extraordinary, and they felt that he would be a great danger to them in the future.

It was a good thing that the Cui Family people were just too blind and unable to distinguish this rough diamond otherwise, their rise would be unstoppable.

Thinking up to there, a bright idea struck upon everyone's mind, since the Cui Family were unable to distinguish his talents and ability, then why didn't they try to take him over to their side?

With someone like him in their family, their future would certainly be bright. Of course, that was only dependent on what would happen from now on, if he would be able to survive this situation or not.

Everyone knew that trying to do good on a normal day then their actions would bring only a bit of gratitude, but giving coal in the fiercest winter, would make one grateful for their whole life.

That of course, under the premise that Cui Xie wasn't a selfish and gratitude-bearing bastard. Which didn't seem to be the case.

It took a while for Ling Family Master to finally regain his bearing and clarity, as he controlled Cui Xie's clothes a bit more and then said,

"There is nothing else!"

"Are you sure Ling Family Master!? Can you guarantee with your honor that there is nothing else in there!?"

Ling Family Master was a bit startled by Cui Xie's actions, but he still managed to keep his unperturbed expression and bearing as he said,

"Yes, I guarantee with my honor that there is nothing else! Now explain to us what does that piece of paper means! I am not letting you have a peaceful death if you truly are a terrorist!"

In order to leave a way out for himself, Ling Family Master even gave Cui Xie the gift of doubt, but of course, he had no intention of burying this matter easily.

"Very well then, shall we go gentlemen!?"
