"Big brother, what are you talking about?! You’ve been hoodwinked by this sneaky jerk! He’s trying to drive a wedge between us; his intentions are malevolent!"

Wu Laoer was almost cursing in distress as he rushed to explain himself, "Big brother, take a moment and think. If I wanted to harm our youngest brother, could he have lived safely until now?"

"..."

The City Lord fell silent, lost for words.

Judging by the grave look on the City Lord’s face, he didn’t want to believe that his own brother could betray him. However, every clue pointed to Wu Laoer as the perpetrator who set the trap for the youngest brother!

The air in the training room was heavy with tension as the situation turned obscure again.

"City Lord, I have another question. Please look,"

Su Ran bent over, pointing to the varied marks on the ground, asking confusedly, "By looking at these cracks on the floor, it’s not hard to deduce that they were caused by a sharp tool. But, here’s the question. Can you explain why the cracks are deeper toward the door and shallower at the other end?"

"That’s because the force was coming from the direction of the door..."

Halfway through his sentence, the City Lord seemed to realize something. He quickly scanned all the cracks before cursing bitterly, "Damn it! Our youngest brother didn’t even get a chance to fight back!"

"City Lord, I don’t understand. Why are there an even number of these cracks instead of odd?"

Su Ran looked at the City Lord with an inquiring gaze, hoping for an explanation.

An even number?!

Everyone knew that Wu Laoer’s weapon of choice was a twin-axe...

"Bastard!!!"

The City Lord roared, fuming with anger, pounding his fists against the ground causing a clanging noise.

At this moment, Wu Laoer felt overwhelmed. He felt like he was being led by the nose by the man in the black robe. Even he was beginning to believe he was the culprit.

Suppressing the raging anger in his chest, Wu Laoer glared bitterly at Su Ran. Coincidentally, Su Ran caught his gaze.

As per Su Ran’s speculation, Wu Laoer probably wanted to kill him...

"The facts are right here, Second Brother. What else do you have to say?"

City Lord looked blankly at Wu Laoer, his voice was filled with boundless desolation.

"Big brother, don’t listen to this kid’s misleading words, it’s impossible!"

Wu Laoer was on the verge of tears. He resented Su Ran in his heart. He raised his hand in desperation, "I, Wu Laoer, swear on the Supreme Oath that if I had done this, may I be struck by thunder and damned to never reincarnate!"

Huh?

Su Ran was stunned. He didn’t expect this kid to invoke the Supreme Oath!

No NPC in the God-Demon War dared to defy the system’s rules. Since Wu Laoer dared to swear the Supreme Oath, this should clear all suspicion from him.

Could it be...

Su Ran looked at the City Lord with a sense of surprise.

Not just Su Ran, even Youtong and the others seemed puzzled. They could not decide who the real culprit was.

"Miss Angel, who is the murderer?"

Youtong whispered to the Angel next to her. She also had a gut feeling that things were far from simple!

"Don’t ask me, my head hurts..."

The Angel couldn’t provide an answer. Initially, she thought the culprit would be Wu Laoer based on the clues provided by Overturning Water. Yet the whole case was turned upside down by a single oath.

"Second Brother, you’ve been wronged."

The City Lord looked relieved. He nodded at Wu Laoer and precede to investigate the cracks on the floor again.

Su Ran glanced at the City Lord, then at Wu Laoer, deep in thought.

"Warrior, do you see any other anomalies? Don’t hesitate to share!"

The City Lord lifted his head to look at Su Ran, encouraging him to continue.

Su Ran fell silent, his head was lowered deep in thought, not knowing what to say. But just as the atmosphere turned icy, Su Ran leapt up and shouted, "City Lord, look! The bag tied to his left arm has slipped down!"

The shout drew everyone’s attention. All eyes were focused on Wu Laoer.

Now about why Su Ran said ’bag’ instead of ’Cosmic Pouch’, he had his own calculations. He was afraid the term ’Cosmic Pouch’ would alert Wu Laoer, and he wouldn’t cooperate.

Su Ran was gambling. If he failed, he would bear Wu Laoer’s wrath and possibly worsen the situation. But all evidence pointed to Wu Laoer being the leading culprit!

As for the System Oath, it was the most uncertain aspect for Su Ran. Could it be that Wu Laoer’s real name wasn’t this and the oath could not apply to him?

As Su Ran predicted, Wu Laoer subconsciously looked at his own right wrist. In a split second, he recovered and casually moved his gaze to his left wrist.

Got you at last!

Su Ran stared at Wu Laoer, smiling without uttering a word.

"There’s nothing there?"

"Overturning Water, are you seeing things?"

"Overturning Water, what’s with the fuss?"

His teammates were confusedly looking at Su Ran, hoping for an explanation.

"Warrior, cease these pointless actions. Second Brother has already cleared his suspicion."

The City Lord looked at Su Ran a bit displeased and warned him.

"Damn it! How much more can you take? Irritating me time and time again. If I lose my cool, I’ll split you in two with one swing of my ax!"

Wu Laoer, feeling victimized was burning with anger. It flared up instantaneously, glaring furiously at Su Ran. His teeth were gritted, he took up his axes, resembling a fierce tiger ready to kill on sight.
