Chapter 270: Setting up a trap, alternative revenge
But Sakaski had no idea why Karain was plotting against him.
His eagerness to kill Karain did seem problematic, but he just wanted to stop this guy's conspiracy.
"Lu Kai, Kuzan, I didn't instruct him. Don't be fooled by him." Sakaski explained quickly.
"We never said that you ordered him to do so." Kuzan snorted coldly, "Why are you so busy trying to distance yourself from him?"
"Stop it all!" A roar with a domineering aura suddenly shocked the whole audience. Cyborg had already stood up and yelled at several people.
Lukai, Kuzan and Sakaski all stopped immediately, but the atmosphere was still tense.
Others might be intimidated by the domineering aura of the Conqueror's Haki, but Luke, Kuzan and Sakaski were not intimidated by the Conqueror's Haki. The reason they stopped was only because it was an order.
“I declare that Kara’s report of Lukai and Kuzan’s collusion, using her position and power to secretly release O’Hara scholars and fight against the World Government during O’Hara’s Demon Slaying Order, is a pure frame-up.
"As for why Karain did this, we will continue to investigate. Everyone leave immediately." Cyborg ordered immediately.
"Hmph!" Upon hearing this, Lu Kai snorted coldly, turned around and walked out.
But when he passed by Sakaski, he suddenly challenged in a voice that everyone could hear, "Sakaski, I will wait for you on the uninhabited island in the southeast in three days. We need to end this relationship."
After saying that, Lu Kai simply waved his hand and strode away without looking back, and his subordinates immediately stood up and followed him.
Soon after, everyone left one after another, and this trial became a complete farce.
"Sakaski!" When most people had left, only a few senior naval officials and government officials were left at the scene.
Cyborg turned his head and looked at Sakaski with a cold look in his eyes, waiting for his answer.
"Marshal, I swear this matter has nothing to do with me. I didn't know anything about it beforehand. I was shocked when I saw that it was Karain who reported Lukai and Kuzan." Sakaski explained quickly, "This is a setup, a conspiracy."
"But Karain is your subordinate. How can others believe that this matter has nothing to do with you?" Cyborg continued to ask, "Unless you can find a reason why Karain did this."
"I will definitely investigate it thoroughly..." Sakaski felt extremely unhappy after being tricked.
I thought Karain was going after Lukai and Kuzan, but the situation suddenly changed and he ended up being the unlucky one.
Lu Kai and Kuzan have been completely cleared of suspicion, but Sakaski has become the mastermind in the eyes of others who instigated his subordinates to frame their colleagues in order to get promoted, and then hurriedly killed his subordinates afterwards.
In fact, there are still many doubts that cannot be explained. If Karain was really instructed by Sakaski, why would he produce such poor evidence?
Sakaski is not a fool. Even if he really wants to get promoted and step on Luke and Kuzan to get to the top, he will either kill them with one sword or do nothing.
It is absolutely impossible to use such an easily debunked excuse, where you offend someone and the other person remains safe and sound, while you yourself get into trouble.
As for Karain, his final behavior was too deliberate. On the one hand, he tried hard to reveal his flaws, and on the other hand, he tried hard to distance himself from Sakaski. It seemed like he was trying to cover up his guilt.
Finally, he pretended to be scared and called for help from Sakaski, and it seemed as if he was deliberately dragging Sakaski into the water.
If one thinks about it slowly, one will find that all these signs indicate that all this may really have nothing to do with Sakaski.
But others don't think so. If this matter is not resolved quickly, it will have a huge impact on Sakaski's future.
Two days later.
"We found it, we found it!" A soldier ran into Cyborg's office in a panic.
The soldier looked a little excited. He held a document and reported, "Your Excellency the Marshal, Karain's case has been investigated."
"Tell me quickly, what happened?" Cyborg asked quickly.
“We found out that Karain and his brother Kevin joined the Navy at the same time 15 years ago.
"It's just that the two brothers don't look alike, and they're secretly competing with each other, so they never announced to the public that they are brothers. So no one knows about it. They just know that they have a good relationship."
The soldier reported: "Four years ago, when Kevin was following Sakaski to stop pirates, for unknown reasons, he was executed on the spot by Vice Admiral Sakaski, and Karain was right next to him at the time.
"So, we think this incident may be a deliberate revenge, not against Lieutenant General Lu Kai or Lieutenant General Kuzan, but was aimed at Lieutenant General Sakaski from the beginning to the end."
"What a conspiracy!" Cyborg sighed helplessly after hearing the results of the investigation. "Even if we have found out the truth now, this matter cannot be made public. In other words, the impact of this incident on Sakaski's reputation is irreversible."
The reason he said this is because Cyborg knew the reason why Kara took revenge on Sakaski, and it was a scandal that could not be made public.
Four years ago, Kevin went out to sea with Sakaski. Kevin learned that his wife was seriously ill and would not live long, so he asked Sakaski for leave and wanted to go home to accompany his sick wife.
But Sakaski was leading the warship on a mission at the time. He was very unhappy when he heard Kevin's request and fell silent. Kevin thought that Sakaski's silence meant he agreed.
So after walking out of Sakaski's office, Kevin secretly launched a small boat and planned to return to his hometown. Unexpectedly, Sakaski became furious and accused Kevin of being a deserter and killed him on the spot.
But this matter cannot be made public. Killing subordinates simply because of such a misunderstanding is an extremely bad behavior even among pirates, not to mention that they are a righteous navy.
Moreover, the opponent was not an ordinary marine, but a colonel who was deeply loved by his subordinates and had made many military achievements.
Because of this incident, Cyborg severely rebuked Sakaski, but because of his love for talent, he suppressed the matter.
Since then, Sakaski has become much more restrained and has become more aware of how to use his brain when doing things, so nothing like this has happened again.
I didn’t expect that everything today was caused by that unspeakable scandal.
Now, even if it is found out that Karain wanted to retaliate against Sakaski, the reason for the revenge cannot be made public.
But if the reason is not made public, everyone will think that there is something fishy about this matter and will not believe it. Instead, they will be more convinced that Sakaski is targeting Luke and Kuzan and wants to suppress them, and Karain is just taking the blame for Sakaski.
No matter what he does now, Sakaski's reputational damage is irreparable.
