I really can't control myself

This sentence seemed a bit strange for Linton to ask. At this time, Toliman suddenly thought, could it be that Linton and Dane here are in the same group? Yes, it is indeed strange for Dane to come to the venue. Isn't this wanted criminal wanted by the entire continent coming here to die? Why come here? Now it seems that they may have reached something with Linton. In other words, Linton is asking now because he thinks the other party can produce evidence.

The so-called evidence is definitely fake. Toliman was a little angry, but he still wanted to see what the other party was doing first. Anyway, the assassination of Garsain had nothing to do with their Holy Association. It was obviously a frame-up against them.

However, just as Toliman was preparing to expose Dane, Dane spread his hands and said, "There is no evidence."

"Huh?" Toliman was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"No evidence is needed. If our Black Hand Guild did this, I would admit it on the spot. There is nothing to hide. From the establishment of the Black Hand Guild to now, a hundred years ago, everything our Black Hand Guild has done has never been done before. If you don’t admit it, I swear on the honor of this guild that this matter was not done by us,” Dane said.

"What is this? Can't you lie?" Toliman said, pointing at Dane.

"I really can't lie about this matter," Dane said. "Our Black Hand Guild has been able to survive until now, relying on its credibility. Now representatives from all the continent are here. If I lie here, I will destroy myself." The way. Many of you here are clients of my Black Hand Guild. You can judge for yourself whether what I say is true."

The venue suddenly started to talk a lot. Yes, even though there was no evidence to prove what Dane said, most people actually believed it. Although the Black Hand Guild is wanted by the entire continent, is it really the entire continent that is hunting them? In fact, many of the people sitting here have made commissions. The Black Hand Guild can be said to be an underground organization that is secretly allowed to exist. Otherwise, if the entire continent was really hunting them down, they would have perished long ago.

As Dane said, credibility is too important to the Black Hand Guild. The reason why they can acquiesce in the existence of this underground organization is because they are still useful, and what guarantees their usefulness is their long-standing credibility. If they lose this , who will entrust them again, who will acquiesce in their existence again, is indeed a way to die.

Toliman also understood this at this time. To be honest, he also believed that this matter was not done by the Mafia Guild, but he immediately said: "Whether it was done by you, what does it have to do with our association? You said that according to your investigation, our Holy Association did this, and what about the certificate?"

"There is no substantial evidence." Dane spread his hands and said, "It's just that after our investigation, most of them pointed to your Holy Association, but you said that we haven't been able to find direct evidence."

"That……"

"But we have already investigated this assassination. The assassin is indeed a saint. In terms of suspicion, isn't your saint-level association bigger?" Dane said.

"That's nonsense." Toliman said immediately, "I can also swear on my reputation that this time it was definitely not our association. Do you think the reputation of our Saint-Level Association is useless?"

"I do believe in Lord Toliman's reputation." Dane said with a smile, "But your oath can only represent you personally and swear on the reputation of the entire guild. I think this is impossible."

"What do you mean?" Toliman demanded.

"I can guarantee that all orders in our guild are issued by me, and I can also be responsible for everyone under my name. Can your organization guarantee this?" Dane said with a smile.

"You..." Toliman was stunned and suddenly speechless. I mentioned before that the Saint-Level Association is a very loose organization, and the Saint-Levels within the association have a very high degree of freedom. In other words, the association does not know everything they do, and will not deliberately pursue it, so Toliman can represent The entire association? Obviously it can't be done.

Of course, the people below also understood. What Dane said was indeed correct. In fact, if it was really the idea of ​​a certain saint, it would be normal for Toliman to not know about it at all, so his oath can only say that he did not Get involved in this.

"So what you mean is that everyone from our association should come here to swear an oath?" Toliman said with a sneer.

"I think this is a good idea." Dane replied without any hesitation.

"you……"

"I'm talking about you two." Linton next to him suddenly spoke up. "At present, it seems that it is still difficult to completely prove this matter, but I do have a feasible method."

"What can be done?" Toliman asked.

"Actually, everyone knows that in our Holy Empire of Yilan, we often encounter cases where both parties are unable to provide real evidence, so in the end there is a solution, and that is... trial by combat. Linton said with a smile.

"What……"

"So now, I suspect that your Holy Association was involved in the assassination of my nephew, but there is no substantial evidence. I now formally propose to you a trial by combat. Do you accept it?" Linton continued.

"How is it possible..." Toliman wanted to refuse on the spot. This was really ridiculous. However, the next second, he suddenly froze. Yes, he suddenly understood what Linton meant. This guy and Dane were indeed on the same team. The previous discussion for a long time was not to convict them at all, but just to raise a random suspicion. As long as there was this suspicion, Linton would Able to initiate trial by combat.

This trial by combat is naturally very ridiculous. Not to mention that the suspects are not just them. Although it is done by the Holy Level, the Holy Level Association does not include all Holy Levels. Linton himself is not a member of the Holy Level Association. What do you think? Is it possible that it was not done at the holy level of the association? Furthermore, why should we follow the rules of your Holy Empire of Elan? Trial by combat is not a rule common to the entire continent. Although many countries do have this rule, the Holy Association is not a country.

So obviously, if they want to refuse, Toliman can come up with a hundred reasonable reasons. However, the question now is, can they refuse? Yes, no matter how ridiculous Linton said, Toliman couldn't refuse directly. You must know that this is the Continental Congress, and everyone in the continent is watching. You, the Holy Association, are asked to compete with you, and you refuse? Where do you put this face?

Toliman understands that this is not a conspiracy, this is a conspiracy. People use ridiculous reasons to propose trial by combat, and you know this is a trap, but you have no choice but to jump. No matter how legitimate your reason for refusal is, as long as you refuse You are just afraid of the martial arts competition, and you cannot afford to lose face.

Of course, under normal circumstances, this kind of situation is impossible. After all, they are a holy association. Anyone who wants to die dares to go against them. But the problem is that the opposite is Linton. This guy really dares.

Toliman now also knows clearly that no one in the association can be Linton's opponent. Not to mention that Linton has killed several saint-level achievements. Look at the giant dragon in the square at the entrance. Being tamed by Linton and lying there like a dog, do you still know how powerful this guy is?

But the problem is that he knows how powerful he is and admitting that Linton is better than them in front of the whole continent. If he refuses now, he is admitting this to everyone, and admitting that they are cowards. It is better to let him die.

If you say you accept it, the most you can do is die, but the problem is that it's not that simple. What Linton proposed was trial by combat. Losing the trial by combat would be tantamount to admitting guilt. If you admit this crime, why don't you let Linton knead it, just say the simplest thing, Linton asks all of them to apologize to Linton, what should you do? If you apologize, it will be a big loss for everyone. If you don't apologize and you don't keep your promise, it will be a big loss. How uncomfortable is that.

Toliman is really in a dilemma now. He really didn't expect that he would be forced into this situation by such a bullshit plan. The other party was sure that they couldn't afford to embarrass anyone, but this was the reason why they were strangled to death. I really can't keep up this tone.

"What's wrong?" Linton looked at Toliman's expression and couldn't help but smile, "Didn't Master Toliman hear you clearly? Do you want me to repeat it?"

"I..." Toliman was so angry that his teeth itched. Linton took advantage of him and taunted him to the death. He was completely unkind, but he couldn't keep silent. Others were already talking quietly below. If you don't know how to fight, the result will be the same as refusing.

Just when Toliman was in a panic, suddenly a voice came from the seat below: "I remember that according to your country's rules, you can invite an agent to compete in a trial by combat, right?"

Everyone looked at the person who spoke, it was Dragon Lord Iglis.

"Yes." Linton nodded, "Then the holy level..."

"President Toliman." Iglis interrupted Linton directly, because he knew that what Linton wanted to ask was "Should the Holy Association ask someone else to represent it?" This was obviously to force the Holy Association to death. Means, can this be said? So Iglis took the initiative and said, "Actually, I have some personal grudges with Linton Sword Master, so can I be the agent in this trial by combat? Give me a face."

When Iglis said this, of course he gave the Holy Association a step forward. The agent he proposed on his own initiative was not the agent requested by the Holy Association. There was still a big difference. And whoever dares not to give it to Iglis, the Holy Association will entrust him with it, so there will naturally be no problem.

"Then... then I'll leave it to you, sir." Toliman here had almost no choice. After thinking about it, he could only nod and breathed a sigh of relief.
