Chapter 1229: 359 Chapter: The Dark Star Phoenix! The Ecological Lord takes action! Alien Race pressure the border! The price of scheming against the truth_3

Jay Howard’s face was contorted with anguish as he suddenly bowed deeply and pleaded,

"Gary Smith, I know my request is excessive, and I don’t want to interfere with your participation in the Multiracial Tournament to win glory for the Human Clan.

Therefore, I specifically pleaded with our clan leader to bring a branch of the Star Speech Tree, which under the witness of the Star Clan, can detect lies from all creatures under the Eternal Blazing Sun and will answer questions truthfully.

This way, it could also help you prove your innocence in front of all the Star Clan families. Surely you wouldn’t be afraid to face this test, would you?"

’Clever move!’

A hint of appreciation flickered through the eyes of the onlookers; this guy had learned to leverage the moral high ground to manipulate Gary Smith.

Everyone was also curious about how Gary would break the situation.

Feeling the gaze of many big shots, Jay Howard sneered internally, ’Sorry to say, but I can use moral tactics too.’

If Gary refused, it would imply he had something to hide. The Star Clan could then request the Alliance to investigate, openly without any favoritism.

And when it came to finding legal loopholes, how could an individual possibly compete with noble families? Eventually, Gary wouldn’t be killed but would certainly be stripped of his defenses, or at least his strength growth would be slowed.

If agreed to, it would play right into his hands.

Jay Howard wasn’t genuinely speaking out for the Star Ore Leaf Family, but for the Spiritual Puzzle and Legendary Trait they possessed, to carve a path to becoming a Crowned King.

Even if Gary hadn’t done it... it didn’t matter; he could use the opportunity to ask other questions, like specific details about the Ancient King’s Law, or core opportunities that led to his rise, leak his secrets, and make him the target of many.

Even if the Howard Family faced accountability from the Alliance later, they could muddle through. Either way, Gary would suffer greatly.

"Peasant, feel the wisdom of noble families!"

Jay Howard sneered internally, raising his head to speak, but then he saw the rushing air currents and the vast Celestial Tread falling.

Creak, creak, creak!

Even though he reacted instantly, summoning his main pet beast—a defensive Wood-series pet beast of Radiant Moon Rank—it shattered under the Celestial Tread and was knocked out instantly.

With Radiant Moon Initial Stage strength, Gary was utterly powerless!

Boom, boom, boom!

Jay was smashed into the ground along with the tremors, his bones crushed into powder, letting out agonizing cries:

"Aaaaahhhhhhhh—"

He didn’t cry out for long before Gary stepped on his head, leaving only terrified whimpers.

This sudden turn of events shocked everyone.

"Fantastic!" The other families of the Star Clan rejoiced madly. Gary had been provoked into acting so rashly.

Now, even if he was right, he appeared wrong.

Young people are indeed hot-blooded and impulsive!

"Is this the new generation’s prodigy of the Borderland?"

Someone scoffed, and many giants frowned, feeling this fellow was too arrogant, daring to take direct action in front of them, thinking violence could solve everything.

Or was it... he really did destroy the Leaf Clan?

Serena Martin was also stunned, not expecting Gary to take action directly.

Elliot Pine also frowned, saying, "Kid, you’re such a clever person, how could you be so impulsive? This has fallen right into their trap..."

Gary didn’t speak but looked down at the pitiful Jay Howard, feeling the daunting gaze of the giants descend, casually sweeping his hand, a pure white radiant encircled and uplifted a branch aglow with starlight.

The branch of the Star Speech Tree!

Gary grasped it, invoking the dazzling projection of the Star Speech Tree, and said lightly, "What low-class man are you, always trying to test me? The only ones who can test me... are the Alliance and the people!"

At the end of his words, the serene projection of the Star Speech Tree, having confirmed Gary’s words,

left everyone astonished that he was indeed serious, putting the Alliance and countless humans at heart.

Even the giants took note, and after confirming no manipulations were involved, their initially adverse impression flipped instantly, murmuring, "This young man... is quite interesting."

The powerful figures from the Alliance felt relieved, truly thinking this kid was too sensible, wishing he could graduate sooner to be absorbed as a core nurtured seed.

"Not bad!" Hazel Howlscream smiled gently, nodding slightly as her gaze towards Gary was like a mother-in-law screening her son-in-law, increasingly satisfied.

"..."

However, those from the Imperial Capital University who had experienced Gary’s rule were bewildered, ’Really? Is he truly a Heroic Character dedicated to the nation and its people?’

Yet, Gary continued, "The destruction of the Star Ore Leaf Family has nothing to do with me!"

"I have never done anything to betray the Alliance."

"I share the heavens with no Alien Race!"

"My biggest dream in life is to cross the Abyss, crush the pride of the Ancient Alien Races, realize the ideals my ancestors could not, and let everyone freely walk every inch of any Main World."

"..."

As Gary’s words fell, although softly spoken, they carried the power to move hearts.

The motionless projection of the Star Speech Tree served as the best endorsement.

It showed everyone a young man who rose from obscurity, who, despite countless hardships, remained sincere and dearly loved the Human Clan.

Yet this hardworking, protective figure was still subject to the schemes of petty individuals.

In that moment, even those who did not favor Gary couldn’t help but admire his noble character.

Compared to that, the Star Tree Howard Family appeared despicable, fitting the mold of treacherous villains in plays, completely revolting.
