A man dressed in luxurious robes stood tall with his chest pushed out, his face stoic and proud. At this moment, his right hand was raised high in the air.
"I swear by the Dongxian Family's name, that we have absolutely nothing to do with this incident! If it is found otherwise, I am willing to step down as the head of the Dongxian Family!"
Town Lord Dongwei sat in his seat just a few metres away, a solemn expression on his face as he scrutinised every little movement made by Master Dongxian.
The silence in the room lasted for a good few moments, with the two simply staring at each other.
Eventually, Town Lord Dongwei was the one to break the silence. "I understand, you may leave now."
"Understood, I pray that Town Lord Dongwei apprehends the culprit as soon as possible, so that my name can finally be cleared!" Master Dongxian clasped his fists before walking out of the room.
The door closed behind Master Dongxian, and Town Lord Dongwei immediately let out a deep sigh.
