Chapter 1108: The Greatest Concession

Yang Haoran told everyone that he had thought of a way to prove his innocence. These words instantly silenced the atmosphere.

“Divine Emissary Yang, you and I can be considered friends. If you truly have a way to prove your innocence, then I, Zhuang Yingjie, will absolutely take my people and leave immediately, and report to the higher-ups at once that this matter has nothing to do with you. ”

Zhuang Yingjie broke the silence. Before today, he and Yang Haoran had only met once, and their interaction hadn't been particularly pleasant. Therefore, they couldn't truly be called friends. Yet, for him to utter such words now, he naturally had his own ulterior motives.

Yang Haoran’s mind was clear as a mirror; however, he didn't expose Zhuang Yingjie in this setting, nor did he deny this so-called friendship.

“Heh heh, as a friend, for Guild Leader Zhuang to support me like this, I am deeply moved. I haven't befriended you in vain! ”

Yang Haoran spoke with a smile. His tone was very calm as he said this, without a hint of sarcasm, and a faint smile still graced his face. But Zhuang Yingjie faintly felt that Yang Haoran’s words were probably sarcastic, or were expressing his inner dissatisfaction.

Not only did Zhuang Yingjie not betray his inner emotions, but he pretended not to grasp the hidden meaning in Yang Haoran’s words.

“Divine Emissary Yang, I am someone who always separates private from public matters. I will not violate my principles because of our friendship, so you needn't say anything more. You should quickly use your method to prove your innocence. ”

In Yang Haoran’s eyes, Zhuang Yingjie’s words held not a shred of credibility. What “separating public from private,” what “principles”—that was all utter nonsense. In the face of absolute self-interest, these were less than nothing. It wasn't that there were no such upright and incorruptible people in this world, but in Yang Haoran’s eyes, Zhuang Yingjie was absolutely not such a person.

Yang Haoran wasn't in the mood to argue this point with Zhuang Yingjie, because it was meaningless. What he had to do now was to reveal this method that was no method at all, and see if these fellows could accept it.
