Chapter 871 Everyone Listen to Me



"Everyone, this is the food that the Yellow Sand Brotherhood has been distributing in the city during this period."

Ares said in a deep voice.

"You may wonder, if these foods contain poison, why are they still distributed to ordinary people? This is because the poison in these foods will only affect people if it accumulates to a certain level."

He waved his hand, and several people lying on the shelves were lifted up.

"I believe that you are all more or less familiar with these people. They have been eating food provided by the Yellow Sand Brotherhood every day. Now, because they eat too much, a large amount of toxins have accumulated in their bodies and they can no longer live a normal life."

Those people wailed at the same time, which was heart-wrenching.

As he spoke, Ares glanced at the audience, his eyes swept past Cleopatra and looked in the direction of Hippocrates.

"Dr. Hippocrates, you can come and check if what I said is true."

Hippocrates stood up in silence, walked to these people, put his hands on their chests, closed his eyes for a few seconds, and his expression changed slightly.

He didn't say anything. He checked everyone in succession, then reached out his hand and touched the food.

"…they do have a lot of harmful substances in their bodies, and these foods also contain these harmful substances. We cannot rule out the possibility that the disease was caused by consuming a large amount of these foods."

As soon as Hippocrates finished speaking, the entire city square suddenly became noisy.

“What, I just ate a bowl yesterday!?”

"How is it possible? Why would they poison me?"

"The Brotherhood of the Yellow Sands betrayed us!!!"

“They deserve to be sanctioned!”

"I've long known that these cunning and treacherous merchants have bad intentions. Fortunately, I have never eaten these foods!"

"I have reminded you before that there is no free food in this world. Look, now something has happened!"

"I ate a lot too. Am I the only one who doesn't feel any problem?"

"That's impossible. Why would Lady Cleopatra do these things?"

Everyone's eyes and fingers were directed at Cleopatra.

"Is this true?"

A merchant from the Yellow Sand Brotherhood beside Cleopatra asked, his face also filled with disbelief.

But this woman who inherited the title of Marie Annie responded with a cold brow and spoke slowly and unhurriedly.

"What Lord Ares said is indeed true."

The whole city square was in an uproar when they heard Cleopatra's words.

There were shouts and yells one after another. Some people even became excited. They stood up and wanted to attack the Yellow Sand Brotherhood.

But the next moment, Cleopatra's voice rang out again, reaching people's hearts.

"It was only today that I discovered that there was such a serious problem with the free food we provided to the public. In fact, as soon as I discovered the problem, I had everyone remove the food that was about to be distributed. You didn't see the Huangsha Brotherhood distributing food today, did you?"

Her words immediately silenced everyone.

Many people recalled that indeed, the people from the Huangsha Brotherhood who were supposed to distribute food today did not show up, and many people were still complaining about it just now.

"As for the source of these foods, I have also thoroughly investigated them. It was Steel Finger, who was in charge of the supply, who colluded with external traveling merchants for his own benefit and spread poisons in order to make a profit from drugs."

Cleopatra said, waving her hand.

Several people immediately brought in a man whose fingers were made of crystals from outside the venue. The man struggled for a while, was escorted to the center of the square, kicked, and fell to his knees.

"This time, the ** is my responsibility, the responsibility of the Yellow Sand Brotherhood. I just wanted to benefit everyone, but it turned out to be like this."

Cleopatra said, with tears seeming in her eyes.

Her expression was quite vivid and almost everyone was deeply moved.

Only Lu Ban noticed that there were many tricks in her words.

For example, she said that Steel Finger colluded with external traveling merchants to spread poison for his own benefit, but she did not deny whether Steel Finger's interests were consistent with her own interests. Since this person could be pushed out as a scapegoat, he must have been prepared to sacrifice himself, and his interests were naturally Cleopatra's interests.

At the same time, Cleopatra said that these were all her responsibilities. This seemed like she was taking responsibility, but in fact it was the truth.

Many people were deceived by Cleopatra's truth.

"So that's how it is. It looks like Lady Cleopatra is also a victim."

"I told you, there is no way the Yellow Sand Brotherhood would betray us."

"This Steel Finger usually looks like a decent person, but I didn't expect him to be so bad!"

"How abominable! Fortunately, I didn't eat those foods. This steel finger should be punished by law!"

"You want to distance yourself from the matter just like that? I don't believe a saint can be deceived so easily!"

"Everyone, listen to me. Lady Cleopatra never wants us to get hurt. It is the Steel Finger beside her who hides the true purpose and the facts of all this from her!"

Everyone was talking about it, and many people no longer had the indignation they had before, and only believed that Cleopatra was also a victim who was kept in the dark.

After all, it is too unbelievable that a utopian saint wants to poison ordinary people.

Seeing this scene, Ares of the Wild Wolf Guard frowned slightly. He whispered a few words to the people around him and looked at Steel Finger who was kneeling on the ground.

"If you tell the truth, the Wild Wolf Guards can consider guaranteeing you. You will only be expelled from the city, and you will not be subjected to extreme punishment."

he cajoled.

"Did Cleopatra really not know?"

Steel Finger raised his head and glanced at Ares.

"This is all my own doing. You don't understand the current situation of Utopia. Only the most extreme changes can save it."

Steel Finger said.

His voice did not tremble, but was high-pitched and loud.

"Think carefully. You are not the only one who can absolve yourself of this crime. All those who participated in the distribution and those who are related to these foods will be punished by Utopia. Justice is in the hearts of the people."

Ares said again.

Steel Fingers did not answer.

The next moment, he suddenly moved.

The two people who were holding him down seemed to suddenly lose their power and were pushed away by the steel fingers. The fingers of this extraordinary man flashed with metallic light and moved towards Ares' throat, trying to take his life.

Before everyone exclaimed, Ares raised his right hand.

His right hand was ordinary, grabbing Steel Finger's wrist, and the sharp and dangerous fingers just stopped in mid-air, only half an inch away from Ares' throat.

"Why do you have to do this?"

Ares sighed, and then Steel Finger's expression twisted.

The blood vessels all over his body bulged as if he was poisoned. Steel Finger fell to the ground with a thud, and in an instant, his flesh and blood exploded.

The splattered flesh and blood suddenly burned and evaporated, and in a moment only a dim human figure was left, as if it was permanently frozen in the sunlight.

There is no doubt that he was sanctioned by Utopia for his failed attempt to kill Ares.
