I Became A Zompirewolf

Chapter 730 You Messed With The Wrong Man (1)

The room was a hive of activity as Rea oversaw the final preparations for Ashton's lie detection test. Xyrans moved efficiently, setting up intricate systems and ensuring every detail was in place.

Rea, her expression stern, coordinated the efforts with military precision. Her eyes, sharp and calculating, surveyed the room as Xyran technicians fine-tuned the lie detection equipment.

Unlike the rest of them, Rea was on a mission to prove Ashton was wrong and then make him pay the price for making up lies and defaming the Xyran lords.

Besides, she knew the chaos Ashton could bring to the Xyrans from his allegations and wanted to stop it at all costs. While lost in her thoughts, the attendant informed her of Ashton's arrival and instructed him to be brought inside.

Ashton entered the room, his gaze meeting Rea's cold stare. The atmosphere crackled with unspoken tension as they locked eyes.

With an air of authority, Rea acknowledged his presence with a cold greeting, "Ashton."

He responded with a curt nod, his expression unreadable. Coldly greeted by Rea, Ashton showed no sign of being affected. Instead, he calmly approached the lie detection setup, acknowledging the presence of Xyrans around him with a nod.

Rea, the so-called embodiment of Xyran's loyalty, didn't like Ashton's calm demeanour and decided to play around a little.

"I hope you didn't take a drug or something to fool our systems," She said.

"Do I look like a Xyran to you?" Ashton quickly quipped with a smile.

Rea understood it was useless to get him riled up and gestured him towards the setup for his test.

Undeterred by her antics, Ashton sat in the designated area. Before he allowed the lie detection test to commence, he presented his condition, which would ruffle Rea's composed exterior.

"You'll take the test after me," Ashton declared, his gaze unwavering.

"What? Why would I do that?" Rea's brow furrowed in disbelief. "I don't need to prove anything. You are the one who-"

Ashton interrupted without wasting a second. "I don't need to prove anything to you or your people. My people believe in me, and that's enough."

Rea, vexed by Ashton's unexpected condition, vehemently denied his request. "This is absurd! You're the one making accusations, not me. I have nothing to prove."

"I already told you," Ashton stood up, his gaze piercing Rea's panicked exterior. "I don't need to prove anything to you, Rea. My people believe me, and that's all that matters. If you're unwilling to undergo the test after me, I won't take it either."

"I don't-"

The rest of Ashton's crew jumped in, warning the Xyrans to stay away from the machine or they'd have to face the consequences. A few tried to protest but were quickly escorted out of the room.

Anna, a glint of satisfaction in her eyes, continued her line of questioning. "Is water wet?"

"Yes."

False.

"Do you love me?"

"More than myself."

False.

"Aw, hell nah," Vimur laughed out loud. "If that guy doesn't love her, then I don't know if love is real!"

Vimur's remarks were accompanied by laughs and shaking heads. Rea's frustration grew as her scheme was slowly exposed to everyone. The room buzzed with murmurs, and a sense of unease settled in.

"It's clear someone has tampered with the machine," Ashton said. "Since you personally oversaw this operation, I think you'd know who will do such a thing."

Rea, her composure slipping, snapped back, "This is preposterous! I did nothing."

"He never said you did it," Anna chimed in. "Sir Mazton, let your people check the equipment. Something's not right here."

Mazton nodded, and a moment later, the technicians from the Tower walked in. Technicians quickly surrounded the lie detection setup, inspecting the machinery for any signs of foul play.

As the investigation unfolded, it became apparent – the machine had been manipulated. Truths were being reported as falsehoods and lies as truths. The integrity of the lie detection test had been compromised.

Rea, cornered by the revelation, glared at the floor. There was no point in hiding what she had done anymore.

"I did what I had to," Rea admitted. "I wanted to preserve the faith the Xyrans have in their superiors. You wouldn't understand the consequences-"

Ashton, his tone cutting, retorted, "Ah yes, your loyalty is more important than truth, is that it?"

"Someone like you will never understand my reasons," Rea, defiant to the end, asserted, "Even if I did what I did, the intergalactic community would rather believe the Xyrans than a mercenary like you."

"Then it's a good thing that I brought cameras with me," Ashton scoffed, his gaze unwavering. "Whatever you did has already been broadcasted throughout the galaxy. I'm sure your higher-ups would love to reward you for your loyalty."

As soon as he said that, cameramen entered Rea's vision, capturing her face and confession. She realised that her actions had inadvertently exposed the darker underbelly of Xyran's loyalty to the entire galaxy.

Addressing the onlookers, Ashton declared, "Imprison Rea for her crimes. As for the Xyrans, stay away from Earth. If you want, we will hear your explanations and consider compensation. But crimes committed on foreign soil won't be tolerated."
