"I've gone too far?" Fade sneered and glanced at Laurant. "I believe you all know who's the one who has crossed the line."

"The Lightning Clan is indebted to me because you lost to me, but you refused to pay up. Thus, you're slandering Franklin and me for ganging up to betray you."

"Not only so, but you've also told your disciples and people from White Jade Palace to attack me. You're trying to kill me to silence me!"

"So, who's the vicious one here?"

Tyrion narrowed his eyes slightly. His gaze twinkled before replying hastily, "You're still trying to argue at this point in time. Whatever you say about the bet and killing, those are nonsense!"

As soon as Tyrion finished, Franklin said directly, "Tyrion, I don't care what happens to you. But if you go on with your act, you will bring the whole Lightning Clan down too!"

"Shut up, you traitor!" Tyrion panicked when he heard Franklin. He yelled out in a hurry.

However, Franklin was not afraid. He continued, "Everyone, several months ago, the Lightning Clan had lost the Dragon Source Herb Farm to Mr. Chen in a wager." "Just now, Mr. Chen came to claim the Farm. I meant to fulfill my promise, but Tyrion didn't want to hand over the farm. So, he slandered me for colluding with Mr. Chen. He also kicked me out of the sect and attempted to finish Mr. Chen off." Hearing this, everyone was surprised.

"The farm has been lost to Fade Chen. Is there such a thing?" Someone shouted out of shock.

"Don't you remember the Martial Arts Convention a few months ago?"

"So that's it. I heard that not only the Lightning Clan lost the farm, but the Yue family also lost half of their assets."

"If what Franklin said is true, this means Fade Chen is actually the Master Chen of Dragonville!"

"Master Chen, the young martial-arts master who defeated Francesca Sun?"

"If Fade is really Master Chen, then the Lightning Clan would be seen as crude and uncivilized!"

"Yes, after all, it's a promise. It's too much for you to admit it now and kill him to conceal the truth."

"In this case, Franklin and Fade had been wronged." In the midst of the discussion, some began to voice out about the injustice toward Fade and Franklin.

However, it was clear that there were others who viewed it differently.

"What do you mean by crude? It's normal for the Lightning Clan to do so. After all, it belongs to them. How could they just give it away?"

"That's right. The Dragon Source Herb Farm is so precious. I don't believe that it was lost in a bet."

"Even if it is true, the person who lost at that time should take responsibility, rather than making the entire Lightning Clan take the blame."

All of a sudden, there was a heated discussion and a quarrel. The place was in a mess.

Tyrion's expression was complicated as he frowned.

He knew that if he let this turmoil go on, his prestige and position would be in danger.

So, he suddenly opened his mouth and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, don't be instigated and misunderstand us."

He glared at Franklin and snapped, "Franklin, even if you're telling the truth, don't forget that the Dragon Source Herb Farm is the most important asset of the hundred-year foundation of Lightning Clan. But you lost it to someone in a bet. And you still have the nerve to demand us to hand the Farm over?!"

His words caused many other elders and disciples to shout as well.

"That's right. Let Franklin take the responsibility himself!"

"That's right. It's ridiculous to use such a precious asset for a bet."

"When he agreed, he didn't ask for our opinion at all. I won't accept this."

Apart from the elders and disciples of Lightning Clan, there were also many other disciples from the other sects who had spoken up for Tyrion as well. They started to criticize Franklin.

These people didn't really think about who was right and who was wrong, they were talking based on their own interests.

After all, if they lost the farm to Fade, as passersby, they would not stand to gain anything.

If they were to support Tyrion, they would at least have the opportunity to obtain some herbs on this year's Opening Day. Facing such interests, most of them chose to stand on Tyrion's side.

Tyrion's face was filled with glee amidst the uproar.

Franklin was so furious that his face turned red. He defended himself, "Tyrion, when you said this, do you not feel guilty at all?"

"In the last convention, I agreed to the bet because we had the opportunity to gain more benefits. Moreover, you agreed to let me handle the matter of the Martial Arts Convention."

"Now, when we have lost the bet, all of you have pushed the blame onto me instead."

"I would like to ask, if I won the gamble and gotten the benefits, would you have given all of them to me?"

Upon hearing Franklin's question, some disciples of the Lightning Clan suddenly changed their countenances. They hesitated and started to think.

Tyrion's face chilled when he saw this. He knew that things should not be further delayed, or the circumstances would change. He immediately snapped, "Franklin, stop making excuses. Now, the fact is that you have bet away the farm, so you have to bear the consequences."

"Dear disciples of the Lightning Clan, these two men colluded with each other and plotted against our treasures. Are you willing to fight for the clan?"

Behind Tyrion, several elders who were on good terms with him took the lead and hollered, "We're willing to die for the Lightning Clan, we swear to die fighting for the Dragon Source Herb Farm." Tyrion turned to the other martial arts disciples and said, "All of you, are you willing to join forces with us in fighting against these two villains for the survival of the clans and the justice of martial arts?" "If we win this battle, the Dragon Source Herb Farm of the Lightning Clan will open our arms to all of you."

Upon hearing this, many of their eyes lit up. They immediately raised their hands and shouted, "We are willing to fight for Lightning Clan, and we are willing to fight for the justice of martial arts." Almost everyone from myriads of clans had joined forces. They all stood up and gave their support for Tyrion and the Lightning Clan.

Of course, their support was not merely to withhold justice, but because of Tyrion's promise that the farm would be open to them.

After all, these sects and forces were here for the Dragon Source Herb Farm. Now that Tyrion had promised to open the Dragon Source Herb Farm to them, they couldn't wait to agree with his proposal.
