Chapter 1351

Bandit's reaction was out of everyone's expectations.

Originally, Zell had thought that Bandit would quibble in all sorts of ways to absolve his brother. That was why he had not said anything at the start, and had directly projected the video. These videos and other information were solid evidence. As the videos and other information were broadcasted, the brothers' excuses would become more and more powerless.

That way, he would not need to spend much effort to silence Bandit, and then punish Hester severely.

Unexpectedly, Bandit did not take the usual path. The first video had just begun, and he had already pulled Hester to admit his guilt. On top of that, Bandit's confession had tied him to Hester's.

He had made it very clear. If you want to kill my brother, then kill me as well.

Zell rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. Most of the elders were frowning. Only the deputy chief and the three elders did not have any expression on their faces. The four of them stood firmly behind Bandit. There were many things that they had known about, and they had been the ones who had suppressed them.

"Bandit, this matter does not have much to do with you. You did not know about Hester's actions. Even if you did not keep a close eye on him, you do not need to be punished together with him. " Deputy chief Aubrey finally spoke after a moment of silence. He did not wish for Bandit, whom he had raised single-handedly, to be implicated in this matter.

Hester's actions had indeed severely damaged the family's reputation and reputation. This had already crossed the bottom line that the family could tolerate. Aubrey planned to abandon Hester, and do his best to protect Bandit. Bandit indeed had nothing to do with what Hester had done, and it was easy to extricate himself from this.

"Bandit, the deputy chief is right. We know that you love your brother, but he is an adult, and should bear the consequences of his mistakes. It is not a good thing for him if you side with him every time. "An elder who supported Bandit also spoke up to support the deputy chief.

Bandit was silent for a moment before speaking again.

"Patriarch, Vice Patriarch, and Grand Elders. Everyone in the family knows that Hester's and my parents died early, and that I was the one who brought him up. I am his brother, and one could say that I am his parent. I was always in closed-door cultivation or ventured out to explore mystic realm ruins, so I neglected to discipline him, causing him to become like this. "

"I also know that Hester has committed many wrongs, but the elders of the clan were concerned about my reputation and helped me hide and suppress them. Here, I must apologize to all the elders for Hester's past bad behavior. "

At this point, Bandit and Hester kowtowed a few more times. Then he raised his head and went on.

"I know that Hester has committed an unforgivable mistake this time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have alarmed the two chiefs and the elders. I even know that if Hester were to be dealt with according to the family rules, it wouldn't be too much to sentence him to death. "

"Although I know this, I also have my own selfish motives. He is my only relative, and I can't just watch him get punished. So, I chose to be punished together with him. Whether it's eternal imprisonment in the Death Prison, crippling my cultivation, banishment from the clan, or the death penalty … I'm willing to accept it all with him without any complaints! "

"You idiot …" Deputy Chief Aubrey shook his head and sighed. He knew that Bandit had already made up his mind and could not be changed. "Chief, this child has a stubborn personality. Why don't we deal with this matter leniently? If we forcefully sentence Hester to death, I'm afraid this child won't live alone … "

Zell's brows were tightly furrowed. Bandit was a junior after all, and he rarely interacted with him. He only knew that Hester had shocking talent, a proud and aloof personality, and was extremely protective of his younger brother. Other than that, he had no other flaws. But he had not expected him to be so stubborn.

Hester had committed a great crime, and under normal circumstances, according to the clan rules, he would indeed be dealt with in one of the three ways that Bandit had just mentioned. Either eternal imprisonment, having his cultivation crippled and banishment from the clan, or the death penalty.

But if Hester was dealt with in any of these three ways, Bandit would probably punish himself. If that was the case, the most outstanding genius of the clan in hundreds of eras would be crippled.

This was something that gave Zell a headache.

"Chief, there's still the sparring competition at the end of the year … Why don't we deal with it after the sparring competition?" An elder suddenly transmitted.

"Sparring competition …" Zell's brows furrowed even more tightly.

The so-called sparring competition was organized by the twelve top aristocratic families. It was held once every hundred years, and hundreds of aristocratic families would choose the younger generation below the True King Realm to participate in the competition. Sometimes, the Emperor Clans would participate as well. In the past, the Robb Family's results had been very poor, and they had to invite outside help from the Extraordinary Rankings to barely maintain their position at the bottom of the top aristocratic families. Because of this, they had always been ridiculed.

This generation had finally produced Bandit. Originally, the Robb Family had been hoping for him to get good results, but they had not expected such a thing to happen. There was less than half a year left until this year's championship.

After a long time, Zell finally made a decision.

"There's less than half a year left until the sparring competition. The punishment for this incident will be dealt with formally after the sparring competition. Hester, I'll let you off for the time being for this half a year, but if you dare act recklessly again and do something that disgraces the family's name, I'll kill you with my own hands! "

"Yes …" Hester answered with a trembling voice.

"Alright, the two of you don't need to kneel. We still have other matters to discuss," Zell said with a wave of his hand.

Bandit pulled Hester out of the meeting room respectfully.

In the meeting room, Zell was silent for a moment, but the worry between his brows did not dissipate.

"You've received this email as well. The sender was able to gather so much information and hack into our intelligent wristwatches, so it's obvious that he's not an ordinary hacker. Fortunately, the hacker hasn't exposed the matter yet, but that doesn't mean that he won't expose it. Once this matter is exposed, the consequences will be unthinkable. Our Robb Family might not be able to keep a foothold among the aristocratic families in the future. "

Deputy Patriarch Aubrey's expression did not look too good either. "This information has only been sent to the fourteen of us. The younger generation of the family, the various levels of stewards and deacons have not received it. We just don't know what the sender's motive is. "

"There are two possibilities. One is extortion, and the other is that they couldn't stand it, so they interfered. They don't have any ulterior motives. However, in this day and age, the possibility of the latter is very small, "an elder said.

"Regardless of the motive, we need to find the sender, kill him, and clean up all traces. That's the only way to prevent future trouble. Otherwise, that person will always have something on us. "Grand Elder Neon was a staunch supporter of Bandit's.

Without him, the deputy patriarch alone would not have been enough for Bandit to have the influence he had today.

"Grand Elder, your solution can indeed eliminate all future troubles. But what if we can't find the sender? My intelligent wristwatch is almost the highest level of authority in the entire Chaotic Universe, but it was still easily taken over by the other party. There are probably only a handful of hackers of this level in the entire Chaotic Universe. Finding the sender is like looking for a needle in a haystack. "Patriarch Zell did not think that this method would work.

"I'd rather kill the wrong person than let him go! Kill the top fifty, no, the top hundred hackers in the Chaotic Universe! Suppress this matter completely! "Neon's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"That's too …" Zell obviously thought that this method was not advisable.

"Do you have any better ideas?! Or are you waiting for the other party to expose the matter, and the entire family has no place among the aristocratic families, then clean up the mess?! " Grand Elder Neon glared at Zell. "Those who achieve great things don't bother with trifles. For the family, there are some things that can't be bothered with right or wrong!"

"Then let's do as Grand Elder says …" Zell was silent for a long time, his face full of helplessness. His entire body was limp on the chair, and he nodded weakly.
