He hadn't done it, and he didn't even know the man. Why should he clear himself of suspicion?
Without another thought, Lin Mo ignored Vivi and Igaram and walked straight past Vivi.
Seeing this, Igaram immediately ordered the guards to surround Lin Mo.
"Hey! Don't hurt Lin Mo!" Vivi cried angrily.
Lin Mo stared coldly at the guards blocking his way. "Move."
Igaram wanted answers.
"Lin Mo, you'd better cooperate. This is Alabasta, not a place where you can do whatever you please. Even if you won't show me, the Guard Captain, any respect, at least show some to Princess Vivi, who's been speaking up for you. If you're innocent, we'll investigate this thoroughly and clear your name!" If Princess Vivi hadn't been there, Igaram would have forced Lin Mo to come with him already.

Screams and cries of alarm erupted.
