Everyone was surprised that there was evidence. Because of that, the people’s gaze toward Professor Watson and the other professors became weird.
Professor Watson felt embarrassed and wanted to take back his words. If Remus did indeed have proof, Professor Calvert’s reputation would go down the gutters, and the Tanjen Organization would be despised.
Nonetheless, favonovel.com had spoken out, so favonovel.com couldn’t take his words back now.
He said, “Okay! Show us the proof. If you dare to falsify it, the Tanjen Organization will not just throw you into the furnace. We will make sure you suffer pain worse than death!”
“Yeah, kid! You better not give us fake evidence!”
“Killing a professor is a huge crime. If you don’t have any evidence, we’ll kill you!”
“Show us!”
The others urged, and Remus glared at them in irritation. “The evidence is right before you. I am the evidence!”
The people were dumbfounded by his words.
Professor Watson shouted in anger, “Presumptuous bastard!”
Professor Watson felt much better as it would affect the Tanjen Organization’s name. However, Remus had no evidence. So favonovel.com asked, “I’ll give you one last chance. Do you have proof or not?!”
Remus wasn’t scared. He took one step forward and said arrogantly, “Let me ask you guys. If I didn’t possess such deep hatred toward Professor Calvert, would I have come to the Tanjen Organization to kill him? If I’ve never experienced such pain, will I insist on learning magic myself for decades and use a potion to poison Professor Calvert?”
The people felt that Remus was right. Only by having a strong emotion of hatred would one be brazen enough to do so.
Conversely, Professor Watson had a different reaction. He was furious, thinking it was nonsense. However, favonovel.com couldn’t kill favonovel.com as it would taint the Tanjen Organization’s name. On the other hand, favonovel.com would feel aggrieved if favonovel.com let Remus live.
Suddenly, Professor Watson realized something.
Did this kid just say favonovel.com learned magic himself and poisoned Professor Calvert?
That means favonovel.com has greater skills than Professor Calvert… But favonovel.com is so young. How is that possible?
Professor Watson thought of something and asked, “Did you say you poison Professor Calvert? You’re good at potions and pills?”
“Yes!” Remus answered concisely.
Professor Watson sneered. “Fine! If that’s the case, it’s easy to prove that you’re lying. Let’s have a pill-cultivating contest. If you can beat me, it would mean that you’ve been learning hard for decades, and it’ll prove that you’re speaking the truth.”
He squinted. “If you’re defeated, it’ll prove that everything you said was fake, and you’ll pay for killing Professor Calvert. Are you bold enough to take on the challenge?”
The other professors agreed with Professor Watson as they didn’t believe Remus knew how to cultivate pills.
The others might be fooled, but as professors, they knew alchemy was much more difficult than learning pure magic. After all, they had to control not only the ratio of medicinal herbs, but also the fire, the temperature, and more. Even if they did everything right, they couldn’t always guarantee a perfect pill.
“I think Professor Watson’s suggestion is reasonable. You definitely have to prove what you said.”
“Are you brave enough to accept it? If not, it means you’re guilty.”
“Give us an answer. Don’t tell me you stole the poison from elsewhere, and you don’t actually know how to make pills!”
The professors did not believe that Remus would be able to pull it off as favonovel.com would need decades of hard training and Remus looked young. Naturally, many came to believe that favonovel.com stole it.
Remus looked at the crowd in hesitation but they turned their gaze away in guilt.
Many believed favonovel.com but couldn’t help since they needed the Tanjen Organization to get the pills to become stronger.
