Chen Zhao glanced at the remaining people.
"I can generously forgive you for your schemes and harms to me and my family," Chen Zhao said in a gentle tone. "But you set fire to an elementary school. This can't be forgiven," Chen Zhao said in a gentle tone.
Hamson's expression also changed slightly. He couldn't help but look at Stanley and Truman.
Even though they'd just been born, they knew some rules in the spiritual world that touched the bottom line.
Setting a fire in a school, especially an elementary school.
This wasn't allowed in any industry.
If caught, they'd be beaten to death.
Thus, when Hamson heard Chen Zhao's words, he couldn't help but be shocked by Stanley and Truman's guts.
At this moment, even Stanley and Truman were shocked.
They both waved their hands in denial.
"No, no, I didn't do it," Truman said hurriedly. "We didn't do it."
They'd both heard about the fire in the elementary school.
However, they hadn't taken it to heart.
They'd just treated it as an accident.
It had nothing to do with them.
But after hearing Chen Zhao's words, they suddenly realized that they were the biggest suspects.
This wasn't a joke.
After all, they had the motive.
"You said you didn't do it? Why should I believe you? "
"When the fire happened, Mr. Truman was drinking at a bar in town," Stanley said. "I was there. The bar owner can testify for us."
"This evidence is meaningless," Chen Zhao sneered. "We're all spiritualists. I have a hundred ways to create an alibi."
Just as Chen Zhao had said, a spiritualist could totally fool normal people.
The two were troubled. After all, they couldn't take out direct evidence.
After all, they hadn't expected the school to catch fire.
Thus, it was even more impossible for them to gather an alibi.
"I have an idea," Hamson said hurriedly. "I can use Suotan's trial. If Suotan's trial proves that they're guilty, we're all willing to accept the same punishment."
Hamson didn't have the right to negotiate. None of them could.
If Stanley and Truman were the culprits behind the arson incident …
None of them would survive.
The only thing they could do now was to prove whether they were guilty or not.
Sotan's trial was also known as the trial of the Grim Reaper.
This spell would summon the Grim Reaper.
It was up to Death to determine if they were lying or not.
People could lie to their own kind, but they could not lie to the Grim Reaper's promise.
Once they broke their promise to the Grim Reaper and lied.
Then their souls would be directly harvested by the Grim Reaper.
"Sure." Chen Zhao accepted the request.
Of course, this spell was very difficult, and the success rate was very low.
Hamson looked at Stanley and Truman and said, "This is your last chance. Before I use Suotan's Trial, I'll ask you one last time. Did you guys start the fire?"
"We didn't do it." Truman replied firmly.
"We didn't do it," Stanley also replied.
"Alright then, let's begin Sotan's trial." Hamson shouted softly and made a strange gesture with his hands: "Messenger of justice, receiver of death, please listen to my call, I welcome your judgment with my oath."
Suddenly, Hamson's surroundings began to be shrouded by a black aura of death.
Hamson's face revealed a pained expression.
However, Hamson persisted.
The aura of death gradually formed.
A figure with the aura of death appeared before everyone.
Chen Zhao was stunned. He looked at the black figure before him.
Blackie? Why did he summon Blackie here?
"Who wants to start the trial?" Blackie glanced at everyone. In the end, he said to Hamson, "You can ask three questions. You can ask three different people at most. The person being asked can remain silent but not lie. Otherwise, their souls will belong to me."
Hamson nodded. "Who's first?"
"I'll go first," Truman said.
"No lies." Blackie made the first trial.
"Uh …"
Hamson did not think that he would waste the first question like this.
"Did you and Stanley start the fire?" Hamson did not dare to be long-winded anymore. If someone else were to continue the conversation, it was very likely that he would accidentally lose another opportunity.
"No," Truman answered.
"No lies."
Blackie's answer made everyone feel lucky. Thankfully, it really had nothing to do with the fire.
Otherwise, they would've died from Chen Zhao's rage.
Hamson's third question was for Stanley. "Last question. Do they have anything to do with the fire?"
"No."
Hamson heaved a long sigh.
Thankfully, it really had nothing to do with them.
Chen Zhao glanced at Hamson and the others.
"Although you didn't do it, it doesn't mean that you're completely innocent," Chen Zhao said righteously. "I'll give you one week to find out who started the fire," Chen Zhao said in a righteous tone.
Even though some people were unhappy with Chen Zhao's request, they did not dare to say anything.
Chen Zhao wasn't begging them or trying to reason with them.
"Yes," Hamson answered respectfully. "We're willing to accept this request."
After asking the three questions, Blackie's body dissipated.
"Don't think about escaping. You can't."
"We never thought about escaping. We also know that we can't."
"That's good. In one week, if you still can't find evidence or the arsonist, I'll put you on trial for arson."
Hamson nodded. Chen Zhao had achieved his goal, so he turned and left.
But no one realized that Chen Zhao had left just like that.
In just an instant, Chen Zhao disappeared into the night.
Everyone heaved a long sigh of relief.
The pressure that Chen Zhao gave them was too great.
It was different from Blackie.
Blackie indeed looked very powerful.
They could at least fight back a little.
But when they faced Chen Zhao, they could not fight back at all.
The power that Chen Zhao had displayed was completely dominating.
"You've seen the situation we're facing right now. Don't try to escape or resist. We can't do anything here. Contact ten smart companions from the headquarters. Also, do your best to investigate the arson in Los Angeles. Our lives are in the hands of that man."
