The scene was disorderly and people were arguing left and right.
Caesar stared at Lamont and asked, "Lamont Cao, what do you have to say for yourself?"
Lamont looked at Caesar and went silent for a while. He then said, "There were some things I wanted to bring with me to the grave, but it seems like that is not possible anymore. Are you sure you want to know the truth?"
Caesar looked at Lamont and felt uneasy. However, he insisted and said, "Lamont, my grandfather wants you to come clean and tell the truth. You have to restore my grandfather and my grandmaster's honor, as well as apologize to everyone who you have scammed over the years."
Everyone was silent. They were waiting for Lamont’s response.
Suddenly, a group of reporters came running over with their equipment and started streaming.
Lamont saw that and his gaze flickered. He sighed and said, "I just wanted to let these things go and forget about it."
"But since the Tu family is so aggressively trying to frame me, I need to expose the truth about what
happened."
Caesar heard that. He didn’t like where it was heading.
The onlookers all gathered closer.
"Old Master Cao, tell us. What really happened?"
"That guy said that you were an evil man and did loads of evil things. Is it true?"
"You need to explain yourself."
Lamont then began to reminisce and said, "Back then, I was a disciple with Jason Tu under the tutelage of our master."
"I was the youngest amongst all the disciples and was the most talented too. The master loved me and also nurtured me the most."
"After I had some success, I went down the mountain to open a clinic to treat the people."
"Originally, it was a good thing. I could sharpen my skills and also help people. However, Jason became jealous of me. Hence, he spread lies about me and slandered me in front of the master. He told my master that I was scamming people and in the end, he got so angry that he called me back up the mountain."
Hearing that, everyone's face changed.
Caesar's face changed. He yelled, "Lamont, what is this bullsh*t? My grandfather has never accused you of anything. It was a fact that you scammed people and now you are trying to manipulate the truth! You..."
Lamont shook his head and said, "Look, I don't know what he told you, but that's the truth. Back then, Jason wasn't the only one that was jealous of me. All of the other disciples were just like him, but Jason was the worst."
Immediately, Lamont continued, "I was framed by Jason and had to go back. I continued honing my skills and improved a lot until the master eventually approved of me."
"Then, he decided that he wanted to bestow upon me his Bronze Acupuncture Manual, his prized possession. He wanted me to learn the Bronze Needle Spike from him."
