Once, I wanted to be a good person

Fang Ze looked at the Peacock God King oddly, then said, "But what does this have to do with me? Do you suspect it was me who leaked the information?"

He didn’t even wait for the Peacock God King to respond and directly countered, "Then... why don’t you suspect it was you who leaked it?"

"You!" The Peacock God King was clearly not very eloquent. Last time, he was rendered speechless when confronted by the Rakshasa, so now when Fang Ze questioned him back, he was at a loss for words.

Fortunately, this time he came prepared, having already ordered his thoughts. So after a brief pause, he retorted, "Because I am the commander of this operation, and if it fails, I have to take responsibility! How could I possibly..."

Before he could finish his sentence beginning with "possibly," Fang Ze interrupted him again, "You’re the commander, and if it fails, you have to take responsibility. So now, to avoid responsibility, you’re blaming me?"

"Isn’t this just unreasonable?"

Long before selling out the information on the Outer Realm Demigods, Fang Ze had rehearsed this scenario countless times.

So, he had considered the reactions from the demigods, his response, and potential questions from the opposition many times over.

Now that the Peacock God King had fallen into his rhythm, Fang Ze pressed the advantage, "Since you refuse to admit your own operational failure and insist on blaming the leak, then don’t try to absolve yourself completely."

"While you, Liu Shui, and Suo Luo did oversee the operation, it doesn’t mean you have no suspicion on you."

The Peacock God King countered, "Liu Shui and Suo Luo’s clones were killed, and I was gravely injured. We couldn’t have intentionally leaked the information to harm ourselves, could we?"

At these words, Fang Ze simply smiled, "Who knows if someone among you is just playing the martyr?"
