Chapter 428 Guilty
Everyone's eyes fell on Lu Kai again, but this time Lu Kai did not continue to be angry. Instead, he smiled contemptuously and did not say another word.
Luke's behavior was confusing, but Axel didn't care and continued, "According to the description of Luke's subordinate, only a small part of the treasure Luke embezzled was used to build the army, and the rest of the treasure is missing.
"Lu Kai's subordinate also mentioned that Lu Kai had met with the leader of the God's Punishment Organization, 'Ghost'. Lu Kai himself also mentioned this at the beginning, but no one thought of anything else at the time.
"But now that Lu Kai is likely to be a spy for God's Punishment, we have reason to speculate that this huge amount of treasure is likely used by Lu Kai to support God's Punishment activities. Once this is confirmed, Lu Kai's behavior is aiding the enemy, which is an unforgivable crime."
Axel's words once again caused an uproar. The reason why he dared to say this in public and why Zhan Guo, as the marshal, chose to let him go must be that there was already evidence.
But even with the facts laid out before them, many officers still did not want to believe it from the bottom of their hearts and only felt extremely heartbroken.
How did things become like this?
Everyone looked at Lu Kai, wanting to see his reaction, but Lu Kai became unusually calm, completely different from his excited performance at the beginning.
"Lucai, what do you have to say about this?" Axel asked with a sneer when he saw that Lukai said nothing. "Do you want to wait for the results of our investigation? Or do you want to announce the whereabouts of these treasures yourself?"
"This treasure did not exist in the first place, so where did it come from? You can just investigate." Lu Kai took a sip of tea and said calmly.
"In other words, you plan to do the same as your disciple and deny it till death?"
"Why bother to accuse someone?"
"So you don't want to admit it?"
"Why should I admit to something I never did?"
Axel's expression immediately turned ugly when he heard this. At this moment, a female major general named Brugulas angrily scolded Lu Kai, "What a stubborn person who refuses to plead guilty. We do not have any evidence that you, Lu Kai, funded the enemy, but we have evidence that you embezzled the financial report. I advise you not to be ungrateful."
This scene was very strange. Logically speaking, Brugulas was only a major general, and Luke was the admiral of the Navy Headquarters. No matter when, Brugulas should not speak to Luke in this tone, but things happened in such a strange way.
Dauberman also chided at this time, loudly scolding in a sarcastic tone: "You, Lu Kai, have really cleared yourself of all charges. People who don't know you would really think you are a loyal and righteous person. Who would have thought that you are such a disloyal, sinister, and heartless person."
"Snap!" A sound of a cup being crushed was heard, and a female major general stared at Doberman with flaming eyes. The major general's name was Neo, and she was a huge fan of Luke.
However, under Lukai's influence, Neo can distinguish between right and wrong.
If Lu Kai was really guilty, she would not speak for Lu Kai at this time, but seeing that Dauberman and others frequently attacked Lu Kai with vicious language, it had long gone beyond the scope of normal interrogation, and she could no longer bear it.
Not only Major General Neo, but many new generation naval officers glared at Doberman as if they wanted to eat him alive.
The hometowns of many people here were saved by Lu Kai, and they will never be able to repay Lu Kai’s great kindness to them in this lifetime.
If Lu Kai really did something against justice and had to be punished, they would have nothing to say. However, as an admiral of the Navy Headquarters, he had to suffer humiliation continuously before being convicted. This was not normal at all and made them extremely angry.
At this time, a major general named Foster sneered and said, "I have always heard that General Luke is deeply loved by his subordinates. Judging from today's situation, he is even more popular than before. I just don't know what is the purpose of General Luke's winning people's hearts?"
"Foster, speak clearly!" Zhan Guo was also angry and asked coldly.
He was also feeling extremely aggrieved today, watching Lu Kai being humiliated, but because of the orders of the Five Elders, he could only watch it all happen like a puppet. However, even a clay man has a temper, let alone Sengoku, who is the marshal of the Navy Headquarters.
"Marshal Sengoku, I received a report from one of Luke's former subordinates. The content was that when Luke was training the Iron Army in G1, he consciously promoted a cult of personality, so that the people in the Iron Army only knew Luke, and didn't know about the World Government and the Marine Headquarters. His intentions are really chilling!" Foster said with fear.
"I didn't believe the report from Lu Kai, but seeing the current situation, I feel more and more that what he said is true." Foster continued, "Now it seems that not only your subordinates, but even many people in the Navy Headquarters have been won over by you.
"Even though the evidence of Lu Kai's collusion with the Divine Punishment and embezzlement of treasures has been proven, so many people have come out to speak for him. I dare not even think about what the consequences will be if things continue to develop."
"Did you do this on purpose?" A brigadier general slammed the table and glared at Foster. "You have been deliberately insulting General Luke from the beginning to the end to provoke all of us, and then you can more logically put the blame on General Luke."
By this time, everyone had smelled a conspiracy.
Everything that happened today was very strange. Why did Sengoku, the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, ignore everything that happened?
Why would several generals who had no grudge against Lu Kai suddenly jump out and interrogate Lu Kai in public using such a humiliating interrogation method?
None of them has that much power. The only ones who can order them around are Zhan Guo and the Five Elders who have a higher status than Zhan Guo.
But looking at Zhan Guo's performance today, he was obviously very frustrated, so there is only one answer: the person behind all this today is the Five Elder Stars.
Many people felt cold at the thought that it was a plan set up by the Five Elders themselves, because it meant that things seemed to be worse than they had imagined.
But why would the Five Elders do this? Could it be that all the evidence about Lu Kai's crimes is true, and the Five Elders have already obtained the exact evidence?
or…
However, Lu Kai calmly said at this time: "God punishes spies, embezzles treasures, and wins people's hearts. It's a big offense. Everyone, is there anything else? Is this the end?"
Dauberman, Axel, Brugulas, and Foster were all stunned when they heard what Luke said. Dauberman then shouted angrily, "Luke, do you know how serious a crime you have committed? You still dare to be so arrogant until now. Do you really think that you can do whatever you want just because you are so powerful? Do you think that no one can do anything to you?"
Lu Kai suddenly sneered and shook his head mockingly, "Just because you and the others say I'm guilty, does that mean I'm guilty? So far I haven't seen any evidence at all. You're just saying it."
