Confrontation!

"Master Chen, you have nothing more to say now, do you?" Zhu Houcai said arrogantly, like a general who had won a battle.

"Our Beaconfire Wild Hall never plotted against your Chen family."

"You should go interrogate that 'utterly loyal' Third Elder of yours properly!"

"You raised a ghost without even realizing it. A family head like you is truly a rare sight."

"How could this be... Could it really be that the Third Elder betrayed the family and colluded with outside forces?" Chen He found it difficult to accept for a moment.

But soon, another thought arose in his mind.

"Wait, Your Honor, I would like to make a request! I wish to meet the three Chen family disciples who voluntarily joined the Overlord Army!"

"Mm..." The adjudicating judge, who had just been about to wrap up, once again swayed the eyestalk from which a delicate gold-rimmed monocle hung, tapping the edge of the desk with one of his smaller front claws.

"Is it related to this case?"

"Yes. The three of them were the first witnesses to the incident..." Chen He answered truthfully.

At this point, he could only place his hopes on those three Chen family disciples who had enlisted, hoping to uncover new clues from them.

Otherwise, he truly could only suspect that Chen Li had colluded with outside forces.

"Very well. If it is relevant to this case, I will assign your request a higher priority."

The adjudicating judge said leisurely, "It will probably take around forty to fifty cosmic hours..."

Upon hearing this, Chen He immediately stepped forward in small strides, reaching both hands toward the storage item at his waist.

The adjudicating judge merely narrowed his eyes and did not stop him.

He seemed to have long known what the other party intended
