A Man's Insanity: A Changing World

"Do you really want to do that!" Spoke to The man in black clothes.

"What choice do I have left?" Yang Lee's expression was dark. He was struggling, but he knew that he didn't have any other choice. As a matter of fact, he did, but he couldn't make that choice.

"You might not return alive after submitting what you didn't even do" the man in black clothes was smiling.

"Well, don't pretend you're thinking about me. After all, you're a beast." Yang Lee was going to make an ultimate sacrifice. After all, what could be the ultimate sacrifice if not one's life? And why was this considered an ultimate sacrifice? Simple, because he was willing to accept the blame of the ones he believed to be his friends.

"Oh, you know that if you go in there tomorrow, you'll be punished even if you are not guilty. How can they be considered your friends if they're willing to sacrifice you for their benefit just because the leader will kill their families if they don't accept his offer." The man in black clothes was smiling as if enjoying his time.

"Forget it, just don't disturb me and go" Yang Lee spoke as if he was annoyed by the man.

"OK, as you wish, but don't regret it later. I gave you a choice, but you rejected it." The man in black clothes turned around and left.

The man in black clothes was the son of the leader and wanted to recruit him to overtake the leader's position. He was very ambitious, and that's why he wanted to recruit Yang Lee even though he knew that Yang Lee was going to be punished.

Yang Lee was blamed for killing a woman's husband and her sons and the witnesses were supposed to be his friends. The leader was very cunning, he knew that if Yang Lee's friends gave testimony, nobody would be able to stop him from punishing Yang Lee. Because he believed that Yang Lee was a threat to his position, he had to eliminate him. Yang Lee's reputation in the sect was more than the leader because of his kindness and the habit of helping mortals including his enemies.

Yang Lee was already 28 years old. He was transmigrated from the earth. Because his habit of being pretentious left him alone and was often bullied by his colleagues at work, when he transmigrated he promised himself that he would win everyone's heart and help everyone so that he wouldn't be alone anymore and also because he knew the feeling of being bullied by everyone but there was nobody to comfort him. Because of this, he was very kind-hearted in this world and even helped his enemies, even though this world followed the rule of the jungle.

So how could he think of himself and not accept the blame of his friends?

Even if he didn't accept the blame he knew there was no way for him to get out of this situation because who would believe him if there were so many witnesses including his friends? If he somehow managed to prove himself innocent, his friends would be punished instead because the people of the sect wouldn't tolerate what his friends did to the one who sacrificed everything for their sake, for this the leader would be forced to punish them if he wanted to save his position as a Leader. No matter how strong the leader was, he couldn't face the pressure of the whole sect, and he also needed the sect if he wanted to be the leader.

At this moment Yang Lee was imprisoned waiting for his trial. He was leaning against the wall seemingly thinking of something. He had narrow eyebrows, his eyes were light red, and he had light brown hair, he was not tall nor short. His shoulders were wide and had a tough body, this was the fruit of his hard work. He was handsome and looked like a fallen hero. His clothes were tattered, seemingly he fought recently. And there was blood on his clothes. The room was dark and there were guards outside.

At this moment Yang Lee's thoughts were: Am I doing the right thing? Maybe I shouldn't have gotten closer to so many people.

"No, I'm doing the right thing," Yang Lee muttered to himself.

At this moment the door suddenly opened, and the room was lit slightly. Yang Lee looked over and saw that the guards were coming over to him, they grabbed Yang Lee from his arms and shouted"Let's go, the court of the elders is waiting for you".

They pushed Yang Lee forward and brought him in front of a large hall. The hall was big and was covered in jade, its door was quite large with wolf patterns on it.

"Go in," shouted the guards. The door suddenly opened, and the elders were sitting in two rows. In the middle was standing a woman and on the opposite side were his friends. The leader was sitting on the throne expressionlessly, which was made of jade and both sides of the throne had wolf patterns.

When Yang Lee entered, the woman started crying painfully as if nobody in the world was sadder than her. She had wrinkles on her face. She was already old. Yang Lee didn't blame her. After all, what right did he have to blame the woman, when he didn't even blame his friends?

"Yang Lee, you're blamed for killing this woman's husband and her sons, do you accept that?" Said the leader expressionlessly.

"No, I didn't do anything" How could he accept it, so be it if he was going to be framed and punished but how could he accept something he didn't even do?

"There are witnesses and some of them are even your friends," said the leader.

His friends started talking

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, I even tried to stop him, but he wouldn't listen"

"I loved you for my entire life, but I didn't expect you to be this kind of person"

"He was like this from the beginning, but his luck was good that he wasn't caught till now"

"Yeah, I saw it"

"He was drunk and wanted to kill his time"

Yang Lee was silent, his expression was dark. He was completely heartbroken. How could they do this to him? Even though he knew why, he still couldn't accept this.

But he was happy that at least he wasn't alone in this life and that he was at least given a chance. How could he be selfish and ask for more? But he hoped that at least he should have died with honor.

"So, do you still have anything to say, even your friends are giving testimony" The leader was expressionless, but his thoughts were: so, what are you going to do now Yang Lee, let's see if you can get out of this, hehe.

Yang Lee was completely silent, not saying anything.
