481: Speak with evidence

An excited Ghost Cold rushed to Ting Qiao’s residence door.

He moved extremely fast, flying over from his own tall building in a flash, afraid that Ting Qiao would finish his crime and run back.

But before he even landed, he saw a scene that made him feel uncertain.

At this very moment.

In his line of sight, Ting Qiao was questioning the Landlord.

“Who left that line of text on my wall?”

“There were no signs of damage around, which means you gave the password to the person who threatened me!”

“I’m telling you, if you don’t explain this matter clearly today, then you’re dead!”

The Landlord was splattered with saliva, his eyes dark.

He was not the kind of person who bullies the weak and fears the strong, as ordinary people might imagine.

He was the Landlord of this “Demon” city, and his personality was inherently quite violent.

Facing Ting Qiao’s questioning, the Landlord stood fearless, he sneered, “Yes, I gave it, what can you do about it?”

“If you don’t like living here, then get out, don’t chatter at me here.”

“If you’re still unhappy, go sue me, let’s see what you can do to me!”

The Landlord glared fiercely at Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan was not angry, just a little surprised, he really didn't expect that after the Landlord did such an absurd thing, he could still be so tough.

This was very rare in human society.

It was like you snatched someone’s rice bowl, and when they turned around to question you, you still wanted to beat them up!

“You will regret it,” Ting Qiao said with a sneer.

But the Landlord was not afraid at all, a faint sneer still on his face.

Because he knew who the person threatening Ting Qiao was.

That was Ghost Cold! He was the spokesperson for the younger generation of the Demon Clan, with an enormous background and influence.

With such a big figure standing behind him, how could he possibly be afraid of a mere Ting Qiao?

What’s more, that Young Lord of the Demon Race had already told him that the other party was an unknown small figure, what was there to be afraid of?

The Landlord had no idea about Ting Qiao’s background, nor did he know his relationship with Lilith.

In his eyes, Ting Qiao was just an ordinary soldier, while behind him stood a huge Demon Race.

So he naturally dared to insult Ting Qiao at will.

At this moment, he turned his head, and his heart suddenly jumped.

“Young Lord!”

When he saw Ghost Cold standing not far from him, the Landlord’s legs immediately went soft and he knelt down, his face full of obsequiousness and flattery, truly a sycophant.

Although he didn’t know why Ghost Cold would suddenly appear here.

But he only needed to kneel, and if his kneeling posture was good enough to earn the other party’s appreciation, that would be a step up to the clouds.

But suddenly.

The Landlord felt a little uneasy, because Ghost Cold didn't even look at him, his gaze completely fixated on Ting Qiao, who had just been confronting him.

That kind of gaze was not the gaze one would give to a small figure at all; instead, it carried intense anger, gloom, and even hatred.

This made the Landlord’s heart suddenly sink to the bottom, and his back was instantly drenched in cold sweat.

Because he suddenly understood something.

If this Ting Qiao was truly worthless, with no background whatsoever, just an ordinary soldier, would he be worth a big figure like Ghost Cold threatening him?

Coupled with Ghost Cold’s current expression, it further confirmed the Landlord’s guess.

Would a big figure hate a small figure?

Small figures are not even qualified to make big figures angry, let alone hate them.

Only between people of the same Rank can emotions like anger and hatred arise.

This thoroughly explained it.

He had been deceived.

This Ting Qiao had a very significant background, completely unlike what the Demon Race had told him before, that he was an unknown small figure.

People who can live in this city are not ordinary people.

Just now, he was overwhelmed by the goodwill of the Demon Race high-ups and didn't think so much.

Now that he had come to his senses, he began to panic!

Suddenly, a chilling voice rang in his ears.

“What are you, this trash, doing here?”

The Landlord turned his head sharply, looking at the expression of the person who spoke beside him, full of terror, so scared that his teeth were chattering.

What did this Ting Qiao just say?

He directly pointed at Ghost Cold’s nose and called him a trash?

And what about Ghost Cold?

Black flames of rage ignited in his eyes, his hands clenched tightly into fists, his whole body trembling with anger, but he could only fiercely leave one sentence.

“I’m telling you, you won’t live much longer!!”

After saying that, he turned and left.

Looking at his retreating figure, Ting Qiao mocked loudly, “Aren’t you very arrogant?”

“Aren’t you lawless?”

“What, you don’t dare to make a move in this city?”

“Calling you trash is giving you too much credit.”

“A piece of garbage who bullies the weak and fears the strong!”

Ghost Cold couldn’t hold back, he suddenly turned around and roared, “Yes, I don’t dare to make a move!”

“Do you dare!?”

“You’re still being so arrogant…”

His furious roar suddenly subsided.

The anger in his heart was also extinguished as if a large bucket of ice water had been poured over it, making him feel a bit of chill, and he couldn't help but want to shiver.

Because, when he was halfway through speaking, a playful smile suddenly appeared on Ting Qiao’s lips, and then his gaze swept over the four wisps of black smoke floating up in the distance.

This subtle yet deliberate action was clearly telling Ghost Cold.

Look, that’s what I did.

I dare to kill people in this city.

I even dare to tell you.

And what can you do about it?

Catch me?

Do you have evidence that I did it?

In an instant, a sense of horror rose behind Ghost Cold.

He turned his head in disbelief to look at the black smoke in the distance.

That place was at least ten miles away from here!

And he himself had already rushed over the moment the explosion occurred.

And as soon as he arrived, what he saw was Ting Qiao confronting that Landlord!

“When the explosion happened just now, was he talking to you?” Ghost Cold suddenly grabbed the Landlord’s wrist and asked nervously.

The Landlord trembled all over and stammered in reply, “Y-yes… yes…”

Upon hearing the result he least wanted to hear, Ghost Cold looked again at the grinning Ghost Blade Demon, and only felt a chill surge through his heart.

Before he came, he thought that no matter whether Ting Qiao did this or not, as long as no one could prove he wasn't there, he would try every means to pin it on him!

But now!?

The other party had an alibi.

This Landlord was the witness!

And he did it on purpose!

He deliberately told me, “I did it, but I also have an alibi.”

“I can kill people freely in this city.”

“What can you do to me?”

This kind of thing made Ghost Cold feel particularly terrifying.

He even couldn’t help but ask, “H-how did you do it?”

Ting Qiao frowned and said, “Do?”

“Do what?”

Seeing Ting Qiao’s feigned ignorance, Ghost Cold immediately became anxious and angrily said, “Don’t you dare play dumb, that place was blown up by you!”

“Huh?” Ting Qiao was startled, then frowned and said in a sarcastic Yin and Yang tone, “You need evidence when you speak.”

“And there needs to be a motive.”

“Why would I blow up that place?”

“Could it be that something unspeakable happened there?”

“You’re so strange, why do you speak without beginning or end? Is it… do you have a brain illness?”
