Chapter 2916: He Really Dares to Say Anything!

Housekeeper Roth’s words made Taliesin Compton’s smile fade slightly, his brow furrowing.

Housekeeper Roth is trying to shirk responsibility.

He realized that Carson Flores was a troublemaker and possibly had some backing. Not wanting to confront Carson directly, he unhesitatingly brought up himself and the name of the Compton Family, hoping to use their reputation to suppress this troublemaker.

Aren’t you capable?

Don’t shout at me, there’s nothing I can do. Shout at Taliesin Compton, shout at the Compton Family!

Carson Flores sneered coldly, shirk responsibility?

Can you really avoid it?

Fine, even if you can avoid it, someone’s still got to carry this burden.

If you won’t, then Taliesin Compton will!

Carson Flores glanced at Taliesin Compton and calmly replied, "So you mean the Sect Master Compton used his status and the influence of the Compton Family to coerce you into bending the rules for him, to help him cut the line to receive supplies? And even though you didn’t want to, you didn’t dare refuse due to the Compton Family’s power, right?"

The moment Carson spoke, Housekeeper Roth’s eyes widened, Taliesin Compton’s face changed, and the surrounding people fell silent instantly.

This was too bold.

Some things are understood by everyone, but some things should never be spoken aloud since speaking them will offend people.

Why, after recognizing Taliesin Compton’s identity, did those originally furious people suddenly stop being angry? Did they not understand this logic, or did they somehow lose their voice?

They dared not speak!

Once this matter is laid bare, it means directly confronting the Compton Family and facing them head-on!

Who dares?

Carradine’s face was slightly pale as he softly advised Carson Flores: "Master Flores, angering the Compton Family is not wise. Why not let it be, and just wait in line again later..."

Carson Flores turned back to Carradine and spoke directly: "I am the Majestic Sect Master, and I must take responsibility for the lives of my Majestic Sect disciples. I cannot allow them to fight when war comes, holding inferior magical treasures and consuming elixirs of poor effect, betting their lives in battle."

"If we need supplies and they won’t be given from above, then I will certainly ask why. But since they have been approved, why are they not being given to us?"

"The rules of the Military Supply Office? We’ve adhered to the rules for a long time, yet every time someone cuts the line or delays for other reasons, and today is no different. The orders have been collected, but Sect Master Compton cuts the line, and we’re supposed to give up the supplies coming to us!"

"So what, because my Majestic Sect lacks influence, we deserve to get nothing, deserve to take inferior magical treasures into battle and perhaps to die?"

"Sect Master Compton, because he is from the Compton Family, he can brazenly cut the line, receive materials originally meant for another sect, arm his disciples with the best magical treasures and elixirs, so they can fight valiantly. Is their disciples’ lives worth something, while ours are not?"

Carson Flores turned his gaze coldly to Taliesin Compton: "Sect Master Compton, you tell me, by what right?"

Taliesin Compton could no longer smile.

Not only could he not smile, but his face was faintly ashen.

Just when he was still pondering how to respond to Carson’s questions, Carson bombarded him with another round of verbal attacks, making it a direct hit to the soul.

This big accusation has been placed firmly on him, how should he respond?

Housekeeper Roth’s face turned pale too. This young man is not an ordinary troublemaker, he’s too fearless!

He dares to say anything!

Housekeeper Roth barked: "Is it Master Flores, right? How can you talk like that, it’s slander against the Compton Family! Compton is a person who has made great contributions to our Immortal Realm, someone worthy of being listed on the Immortal God Stele!"

"The law doesn’t forget human ties. I am grateful for Compton’s great contributions, and showing love by extending benefits to Sect Master Compton ahead of time, even if somewhat improper, is out of admiration. Where are these nonsensical things you’re saying coming from?"

Housekeeper Roth originally planned to bring out Taliesin Compton, thinking that with the Compton Family’s prestige, Carson Flores wouldn’t dare to attack directly. As long as he softened his words, the matter could be smoothed over.

Yet who would have thought, Carson not only didn’t show weakness, but instead poured out a stream of words that backed Taliesin Compton against the wall without escape.

Housekeeper Roth turned to patch things up, taking the responsibility for the "cutting line" upon himself. For one, the cutting in line has been witnessed, undeniable, and for another, since it involves the Compton Family, as long as he insists it was out of gratitude for Compton’s past contributions, even if this reaches the Hall Master, it’s not a serious charge.

Housekeeper Roth used this statement to extract Taliesin Compton from the situation, turning major issues into minor ones.

Carson Flores calmly stared at Housekeeper Roth: "In your position, you must fulfill your duties. If you appreciate Compton’s contributions, offer him personal gratitude, be it through gifts or any kind of appreciation. But when you use your position to allow line cutting at the expense of others, that’s abusing power for personal gain, misuse of public tools. Moreover, doing this doesn’t help the Compton Family but tarnishes its reputation..."
