Mibor spoke indifferently, "Go ahead."
Rod said loudly, "As you all know, I have only recently ignited the Soul Fire. Previously I was an ordinary person. How could the Doomsday Cult choose an ordinary person to help execute the murder of several hundred relocating people?"
Iron Mask scoffed coldly, "Although you were not a Fire Holder before, you could still wield extraordinary power."
Rod wisely maneuvered around the subject he was unfamiliar with, "This Mr. Marsh, could you please use your wisdom to think about this? If I had done this, why would I stay alone at the original scene? And the immensely wise Miss Blue White..."
Lauren coughed:
"It is Guardian Aligali Dan Qingyu."
Rod immediately corrected himself, "Thus, the wise and beautiful Guardian Qingyu, why would she let me, a highly suspected individual, go? Even allowing me some freedom within Royal City, isn’t she afraid that allowing a Doomsday believer to roam freely could cause tremendous destruction?"
Iron Mask coldly said, "Perhaps there is some underhanded business going on."
Rod scoffed, "Yes, everyone is bad, only you are good. Do you think you are running a winery?"
Although Iron Mask did not understand what a winery meant, the thick sarcasm in the words was clear, and his tone instantly turned even icier.
"Clever retorts are useless. You were the only survivor at the scene. You claim you have amnesia, yet the Doomsday believer Grey Cat Alai had your letters in his pocket, and you killed the Priest of Lies, Bas, silencing our most crucial lead. All the evidence firmly points to you. I do not understand why Guardian Qingyu is protecting you. Perhaps I should suggest to the King that we revisit her candidacy."
