"What? Wilbur, you're a citizen of the great Dasha. How could you commit such an atrocious act?"
Wilbur said, "Mister Arthur, please believe me. The one who killed over ten members of the Cultivator Guild last night was Holt, not me."
Holt responded, "Mister Arthur, this man is still spouting nonsense. Please do not trust him."
Arthur frowned, looking troubled. Wilbur was stunned that Holt would turn on him, and now he felt like there was no way to clear his name.
Just as Arthur was struggling with what to do, a severely injured Steviat burst in from outside. He knelt on one knee and said, "Mister Arthur, last night, we were ordered to the border. On the way, we encountered Ede's cultivators, who killed over ten of our men. I barely escaped with my life."
"Perfect timing!"
Arthur stood up from his seat, his face cold. "Steviat, take a good look. Between these two, who is the one responsible for killing more than ten members of my Cultivator Guild last night?"
"What? Could it be that he's already here?"
Steviat turned and, upon seeing Holt, trembled all over and collapsed to the ground. Pointing at Holt, he stammered, "It's him, Mister Arthur. He's the one who killed over ten of our men last night."
"Holt, so it was you. Now, do you have anything to say for yourself?"
