Chapter 551: Chapter 379: Killing "Him" _1

Around them, everyone was stunned, and they looked at Owen Bertram in amazement. Evans Graham was so excited that he almost jumped up, pointing at Owen Bertram and shouting, "As I expected, the truth came out! You cunning little man, trying to embezzle the treasure of Merton Academy! Seize him! Let me deal with him on behalf of His Majesty’s justice!"

Master Lane and Nick Liam both frowned, stepping forward to intervene.

Owen Bertram still appeared calm, questioning Evans Graham, "On what grounds? Indeed, I did obtain something in Eden Cave but it’s not from Merton Academy."

"Nonsense!" Evans Graham shouted, "Eden Cave belongs to Merton Academy, anything you obtained from it belongs to Merton Academy!"

"But what I got isn’t," Owen Bertram seemed to be just talking stubbornly.

Evans Graham became more arrogant, "Hand over the treasure quickly, or I will kill you on the spot, and naturally, we can search it from your corpse!"

Owen Bertram sneered, disdainfully saying, "This thing is not suitable to be taken out in public, and it involves confidential matters. I’m afraid your status is not qualified to know."

Evans Graham cursed in anger, "Nonsense! Don’t talk nonsense, my rank is much higher than yours, a little Summit Command Officer, why can’t I know what you know?"

Owen Bertram shook his head slightly, looking towards Master Lane, "Master Lane, please bring Lord Dunn here. This person is creating confusion, and in order not to leak the secrets of the Imperial Court, only Lord Dunn can handle it."

Master Lane was also very curious, wondering what Owen had obtained in Eden Cave, insisting it wasn’t from Merton Academy and involving the Imperial Court’s secrets. He nodded, "I’ll go to invite Lord Dunn."

Evans Graham stomped, "What? Using Adonis Dunn to oppress me? You dream! I have an iron backbone and won’t fear powerful people!"

"Pfft–" Owen Bertram laughed, and his impoverished cultivators also joined him, led by Bart, laughing loudly together.

"What a witty and humorous chief examiner!"

"This is the funniest joke I’ve heard this year! No, this might be the funniest joke I’ve heard in my life."

"Is it true that the older you get, the thicker your skin becomes? How can this master say such words without blushing and not losing his composure? Does he believe it himself?"

Evans Graham was fuming with rage, shouting angrily, "Shut up, all of you!"

Bart sneered coldly, "Why can’t we talk? We are not Merton Academy students, and we won’t participate in your Dragon and Snake List! You old geezer can’t control us anymore, we have to speak our minds today!"

"Exactly, we can’t hold it in anymore! What a dog official!"

The impoverished cultivators had a tradition of disdain for nobility, and since they had thrown everything aside, they unleashed their previous grievances and vented them all. The other cultivators also joined in, cursing so much that Evans Graham was trembling. He knew there was no way to punish all the cultivators, so he blamed everything on the instigator, Owen Bertram.

"I’ll bring this up with Adonis Dunn later, asking why he favors his own kind, and covers up for a cunning villain like you!"

Master Lane quickly brought Master Dunn over, and Adonis Dunn glanced at Owen Bertram with a rather unhappy expression. Did Owen think that the current Vice Premier was his nanny, who needed to handle everything for him?

If Owen Bertram hadn’t made remarkable achievements before, and if Master Dunn wasn’t still planning to send him to the Southern Border, Lord Dunn wouldn’t even show up tonight.

Owen Bertram was not a man who didn’t know priorities. He immediately stepped forward, bowed, and whispered in Adonis Dunn’s ear, "Sir, this matter concerns Sang Island. I dare not make my own decisions, so I had to disturb you, sir."

Owen acted like an extremely dutiful subordinate, careful to not put his supervisor into trouble.

But Adonis Dunn was a thousand-year-old fox, glaring at him and chiding in a voice only they could hear, "Stop pretending!"

Poor Owen was seen through in an instant. Adonis Dunn continued, "Indeed it involves official business, but you’re purposely using it to plot against Evans Graham, using the name of national interests to have me suppress Evans Graham."

Owen Bertram looked guilty, as the master indeed was loyal and upright... but the master could reach such a position, his skills in political strife were undoubtedly full. His little trick really couldn’t deceive him. However, Owen couldn’t admit it, not only did he not admit it, he even tried to blame it on someone else, "Sir, you’re wronging me. I’ve worked very hard in Copper Gorge, and I’ve overcome so many difficulties to build the Destruction Zone Defensive Line. All of this was to repay the kindness of you and Master Lane, no?

"This time, it’s the same; I was wronged and accused by the chief examiner, and still didn’t dare reveal a hint of information. It’s all because you have reminded me earlier that I should be careful about the situation in Sang Island and not cause any trouble."

"Enough," Adonis Dunn grew impatient, "Get to the point, what is going on?"

If he let this kid keep talking, his head would start to ache. Owen was truly capable of doing things but also very good at annoying people, making the master both love and hate him.

Owen Bertram bowed to Master Lane, "Please separate us from the inside, master."

Master Lane nodded and made arrangements. Then Owen Bertram took out the Ancient Village Sword from his Storage Brocade Pouch and showed it to Evans Graham, "This is the treasure I brought out from Eden Cave. It’s from the Holy Sword Ancient Village on Sang Island. The Sangdao people used this sword to seal the exit and killed many Cultivators.
