Yamamoto Michio, Shoi Fuku, and Saji Masao's faces went red from hearing Ling Chen's words, but they couldn't say a single word. There was no way a player could take away another player's money without their permission. This was common knowledge in the game world. On the other hand, if the virtual world allowed such a thing to happen, who would dare to exchange for money?
The three of them couldn't retort, nor would they try to take money from Ling Chen … what a joke. Even if Ling Chen stood there for an entire day and night, they wouldn't be able to take even a single copper coin from him. If that happened, they would only feel even more ashamed. However, it was also a fact that their gold coins had disappeared without a trace. They were well aware of that. However, they didn't have any proof of how much money they had on them, and they felt like their chests were going to explode.
Ling Chen continued to speak in a righteous tone, "What? Why wouldn't you dare? Do you also think that what you said was ridiculous? What's even more laughable is that you were stupid enough to play tricks in front of Mr Kato. "
Ling Chen turned to the Chief Notary, Kato Masa, and said with a pained expression, "Mr Kato, I'm sure you've heard that the Japanese players have a deep prejudice against us Hua Xia players. And today's farce was caused by these prejudices. I was kind enough to sell the City Creation Token to the Japanese players for a low price, but I never thought that … ai, I never thought that I would receive such a return. Evidently, they were targeting me, and not only did they want to obtain the City Creation Token without paying a single cent, they even shamelessly framed me … "
"Nonsense!!"
Yamamoto Michio and the others, who had already lost a large amount of money, were now being accused by Ling Chen. They all jumped up and couldn't care less about their manners as they cursed, "Ling Tian!! You … You're spouting bullshit! It was you who set up this trap and stole our money, and now you're slandering us?! "
"I'm slandering you? Hahaha! "Ling Chen loudly laughed," That's the funniest joke I've ever heard in my entire life. Do you know why I arranged for today's transaction to be conducted at the notary office? It is precisely because I know that you people are treacherous and have a deep prejudice against the people of Hua Xia. If this was an ordinary place, you would definitely use despicable means. That's why I chose this place. However, I didn't expect that you people would dare to use despicable means in such a solemn place like the notary office. Moreover, such despicable means! Don't you know? The one who witnessed this transaction was the chief notary, Mr. Kato Masa! Mr Kato Masa was over 100 years old, and had a wealth of experience. He had witnessed many grand events, and it was said that the Emperor of the East Ocean Continent had invited Mr Kato Masa many times to witness some important events. It could be seen how strict Mr Kato Masa was! Although Mr Kato Masa was living in the Sunrise City, the title of the East Ocean Continent's number 1 Notary belonged to him! Under Mr. Kato Masa's discerning eyes, you actually want to play tricks and carry out low-level slander. This is simply the biggest joke in the world. Do you think Mr. Kato Masa and all of us are fools? "
Kato Masa deeply frowned. He also felt that there was something fishy about this, but after hearing Ling Chen's words, his face gradually became red. When Ling Chen called him the 'East Ocean Continent's number 1 Notary', Kato Masa couldn't help but straighten his back, and his lips trembled a few times … after being praised so many times, Kato Masa felt as if he was floating in the air, and his self-confidence swelled to an unprecedented level. He felt as if he knew Ling Chen very well, and most of his suspicions towards him disappeared … he was the East Ocean Continent's number 1 Notary, and under his supervision, no matter what these puny players did, it would be impossible for them to escape his eyes. That Ling Tian hadn't even moved the entire time, so how could he have taken their money?
Moreover, he had long since heard about the conflict between the Japanese players and Hua Xia players.
In that case, the only possibility was that these people were trying to slander Ling Tian! Moreover, it was the lowest level of slander! They simply didn't put him, the Chief Notary, in their eyes at all.
Hearing Ling Chen's words, the three people's faces darkened. However, before they could speak, Ling Chen turned to Kato Masa and continued to speak, "Mr Kato, this is the East Ocean Continent, the Japanese players' territory. I'm only a single Hua Xia player, and I've been bullied by them … ai, it's only normal and there's nothing I can do about it. However, the reason why I asked the Notary Office to handle this matter is because I believe that Mr Kato Masa is a fair and impartial Notary, and will not discriminate between Japanese players and players from other continents. Please, Mr Kato Masa, prove my innocence. I swear on my life and reputation that during the entire process, I didn't even touch the hem of their clothes! How could I have taken their gold … in order to prove my innocence, I would like to request that the surveillance footage of this transaction be played back. If I touched any part of my body in the footage, not only will I hand over the City Creation Token to them, but I will also give each of them 10 billion gold! I will also kneel and apologise to them. However, if I didn't touch them in the footage … I will ask them to kneel and apologise to me. "
Kato Masa slowly nodded. Since Ling Chen dared to say such a thing, he definitely had a clear conscience. This caused the last bit of suspicion he had towards Ling Chen to disappear. He turned to the ashen-faced Yamamoto Michio and the other two people and said coldly, "Do you three agree?"
None of the three people dared to reply. They knew that since Ling Chen dared to make such a request, he definitely had absolute confidence. Seeing how confident and indignant Ling Chen was, even they started to wonder if they had wrongly accused Ling Tian. However, the fact that the gold had disappeared was irrefutable, and apart from Ling Tian, they couldn't think of anyone else.
Seeing that they didn't say anything, Kato Masa could guess what was going on, and his expression became even colder, "What? Do you feel guilty and don't dare? "
Yamamoto Michio gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Who said we feel guilty? This was definitely Ling Tian's doing. Why wouldn't we dare? "
With Yamamoto Michio taking the lead, Shoi Fuku and Saji Masao had no choice but to nod. As such, the footage was quickly played, and everyone's eyes fell on the large screen at the centre. Everyone's eyes were wide open, and they didn't even blink, afraid that they would miss a single detail.
On the screen, from the moment Ling Chen appeared, he had been standing on the north side of the stage, and his hands were naturally placed on the stage. Then, Yamamoto Michio went on stage, and within a few seconds, his expression changed … During these few seconds, Ling Chen's hands had been placed on the stage the entire time, and he hadn't moved at all, let alone touched Yamamoto Michio.
Yamamoto Michio was instantly covered in sweat.
Then, it was Shoi Fuku's turn. After he went on stage, Ling Chen's only action was to glance at him. His hands were also placed on the stage, and his right hand was tapping on the stage subconsciously. He didn't even move his wrist. At the very least, he was at least half a meter away from Shoi Fuku.
Shoi Fuku's forehead was also covered in cold sweat.
The third person was Saji Masao, and the situation was exactly the same as the other two … in the footage, Ling Tian's hands and body parts didn't touch any of them at all. As long as one wasn't blind, they would be able to see this clearly. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Ling Tian could break the rules of the game world and steal other players' gold coins, he should at least be able to sneak his hand onto the target's body … could it be that he could steal money through thin air?!
After the footage ended, Ling Chen's sorrowful voice sounded out, "I'm sure everyone knows what the truth is. I never thought that I would be so kind as to return the City Creation Token to you Japanese players at such a low price, but I would be treated like this. Sigh, it really makes me feel very sad and angry. "
Ling Chen heavily shook his head, his voice heavy and drawn-out. Everyone could hear the sorrow, anger, and helplessness in his voice.
By now, Kato Masa didn't doubt him at all. He coldly said to Yamamoto Michio and the others, "What do you three have to say for yourselves?"
This time, even the Japanese players looked at Yamamoto Michio and the others with disdain. After all, this sort of framing was simply too low-level … a single surveillance footage had perfectly destroyed the case. That's right, even the Japanese players were sure that Yamamoto Michio and the others had done this to target Ling Tian. After all, they hated Ling Chen to the bone, and it was only natural for them to target him like this. The surveillance footage was irrefutable evidence.
The surveillance footage caused Yamamoto Michio and the others to be completely shamed. Looking at the reactions of the surrounding Japanese players, they knew that there was no way they could get rid of this shameful accusation. Even they were more and more convinced that Ling Tian had been wrongly accused after seeing the footage. Perhaps the sudden decrease in gold was due to some other reason. Yamamoto Michio's face was ashen as he gritted his teeth and said, "We didn't wrongly accuse Ling Tian! Our money is really less than our own. This … There's definitely something fishy about this … "
"You're still so stubborn!" Kato Masa was completely disappointed. He said in a stern voice, "You've completely disappointed me. As a resident of the East Ocean Continent, even I feel ashamed for you! Our East Ocean Continent is a country of etiquette, so we have to treat guests from other continents with the utmost respect to show off our East Ocean Continent's dignity! However, you've used such despicable methods to treat your guests, causing the entire East Ocean Continent to be shamed. Not only did you try to frame us, but you used such vulgar and low-class methods! In our Mystic Moon world, the rules for money are incredibly strict. Only you can control your own money, and it's impossible for a person to steal money from another person! This is common sense, yet you don't know this?! "
