Chapter 2975: Whoever Wants My Life, I’ll Take Theirs!

Facing Alric Compton’s inquiry, Taliesin Compton paused for two seconds and calmly said, "To impose a false charge, there is no need to worry about a lack of excuses. I did not instruct the James Family to kill Carson Flores; this matter has nothing to do with me."

As soon as Taliesin said this, the three people of the James Family on the ground all looked up in grief and anger, staring at him furiously.

"Seventh Young Master, this matter started because of you. You must stand up for us!"

"Seventh Young Master, do you know that our James Family has been implicated and exterminated because of this? You must avenge us!"

"If it weren’t for your secret instructions, we have no enmity or grievance with Carson Flores. Why would we want to deal with him? You cannot deny it!"

Everyone in the Compton Family changed their expressions.

The James Family was exterminated?

Alric Compton stared at Carson Flores and said, "Fellow Flores exterminated the James Family?"

Carson Flores smiled and said, "Since they can recklessly come for assassination, an eye for an eye, killing a few of them is not an issue, right? I believe no one would stand up for them and claim I was wrong?"

Alric Compton frowned and said, "It was certainly their fault to attack you, but wasn’t exterminating the James Family a bit excessive? After all, there are many innocent people involved."

Carson Flores chuckled and said, "When I say I exterminated the James Family, I mean removing them from the Immortal Cultivation World. Apart from the five Superior Grade Great Land Prime Immortals who planned and participated in my assassination, the others I spared, with a promise that as long as they did not resist and gave up cultivation, their lives would be spared."

Alric Compton’s face relaxed slightly: "So, you didn’t kill them all?"

Carson Flores laughed and said, "Of course not. Except for a few Immortals unwilling to give up cultivation and tried to forcibly break through with their strength, trying to escape but got taken down by me, the rest are all alive and well."

Taliesin Compton felt a chill inside; although the James Family wasn’t a top-tier noble family, they still had more than a dozen Prime Immortals; how could they be gone in the blink of an eye?

Such a ruthless counterattack!

Ivor Compton said coldly, "For cultivators, strength is more important than life. You crippled their cultivation; how is that different from killing them?"

Carson Flores glanced coldly at Ivor Compton, "What, do you think I’m cold-blooded and ruthless? When they tried to kill me twice without mercy, was there any talk of justice and morality then? Now when it’s their turn to pay the price, they start preaching righteousness and morality?"

Ivor Compton was speechless.

The Immortal Realm is always about the survival of the fittest. If Carson Flores was a bit weaker, the James Family would have erased him like dust, and who would care? Who would stand for him in the name of justice?

Carson Flores is stronger and counter-killed the James Family; is there a problem with that?

Carson Flores turned to Alric Compton and said calmly, "Earlier, when I saw the Hall Master, he also mentioned the Military Supply Office conflict..."

The three people of the Compton Family’s eyes widened.

The Hall Master knows about this?

Taliesin Compton immediately felt his scalp tingle, and remorse surged in his heart.

The Hall Master values Carson Flores so much?

Why didn’t I hold back and had to act?

Didn’t Cyras Roth endure when he got humiliated by Carson Flores in the street?

How come I couldn’t endure it?

Alric Compton’s face showed a flash of tension: "What did the Hall Master say?"

Carson Flores replied calmly, "The Hall Master inquired about my thoughts. I said this is a minor issue, and there’s no need for the Hall Master to intervene, but these people have deep backgrounds. If anything happens later, and I, with no such background, wouldn’t I be at a disadvantage?"

"The Hall Master told me that within the War God Mansion, as long as I’m justified and reasonable, he wouldn’t let me suffer grievances..."

Alric Compton’s face subtly changed, and his eyes suddenly became much more solemn.

Ivor Compton’s face changed dramatically, frowning deeply, while Taliesin Compton’s face began to turn pale.

The Hall Master personally said not to let Carson Flores suffer grievances?

Doesn’t that mean Carson Flores is indeed suffering grievances now?

Again and again, making contributions in battles against the Demon Race, only to be backstabbed by his own people. Such matters could be minor private grudges or, on a larger scale, be called betrayal of the Immortal Realm!

Taliesin Compton’s mind was a mess. Such things were common, so why did he hit the iron this time?

Alric Compton was silent for a few seconds, then asked in a deep voice: "Then, according to Fellow Flores, how should this matter be handled?"

Carson Flores glanced at Taliesin Compton and said calmly, "I said, I want justice. Whoever wants my life must pay with theirs!"

Taliesin Compton could no longer hold back and angrily said, "You’re dreaming! Everything you say, you claim I did it, then provide the evidence, if there’s no evidence, you can say anything, can’t you?"

Carson Flores looked at Taliesin Compton with a look like he was an idiot, "Taliesin, do you think I’m here playing games, looking for evidence with you? You did it; I know it, and that’s enough. Evidence doesn’t matter at all!"

Taliesin Compton felt a chill inside; yes, this is the survival of the fittest in the Immortal Realm!

Unlike ordinary people, where crimes need clear evidence for judgment, Immortals need not such troubles!

As long as one’s strength is enough, I say this is the truth, so it is, even if it’s not, it must be!

Alric Compton frowned: "Fellow Flores, my Compton Family needs to investigate and verify this matter. If what Fellow Flores says is true, I will report to the Family Head and give you an explanation."

Carson Flores stared at Alric Compton: "So, you mean, First Young Master, you can’t make a decision on this matter, right?"

Alric Compton smiled bitterly: "I am not the Family Head. For such a big matter, the Family Head must intervene; otherwise, how would others be convinced?"

Carson Flores slowly nodded: "I understand, so although the First Young Master represents the Compton Family sitting in this War God Mansion, in my case, you have no authority to handle it, so today I come in vain, right?"

Alric Compton said apologetically, "This incident happened suddenly, Fellow Flores, please give me some time."

Carson Flores asked, "How long do you need?"

"A week..."

Alric Compton looked at Carson Flores’s cold face, a few inexplicable unease rising in his heart: "I will personally verify it, and in three days, the Compton Family will definitely give Fellow Flores a reply."

Carson Flores nodded: "Three days, right, very well, then Seventh Young Master, please come with me!"

Alric Compton frowned: "Fellow Flores, what do you mean by this?"

Carson Flores sneered and pointed to the three people on the ground: "With witnesses present and a clear situation, you still need a few days to handle it. While I understand your so-called procedures, after a few days, even if you’ve verified the matter, will Taliesin Compton still be here waiting to die?"

"Will his father, his mother, his elders watch him die?"

"When the time comes, will you give me a reply that after investigation, the matter is true, but Taliesin Compton vanished without a trace, and with deep apologies, only other means can compensate..."

"First Young Master, tell me, will this situation I describe become a reality? Are you willing to take a Heavenly Oath that three days later, Taliesin Compton will still obediently appear before me?"
