The Church Knight suddenly stood up and said, “Let's see who has the last laugh.”
Creak~!
At that moment, the door was pushed open.
Wu Heng, accompanied by two Skeletons, walked in directly.
The mocking Church Knight changed his expression and silently sat back down on his chair.
Upon seeing Wu Heng entering,
Xi Ligui and Shi Yali both showed delight but coughed lightly to maintain the Steward's demeanor and calmly asked, “Is there something?”
Wu Heng scanned the room. “I just came to see, how is everything?”
Xi Ligui glanced at the Investigator and said, “Let's stop here for today. There's no need to record the rest.”
The Investigator, with his face and head drenched in sweat, closed the logbook.
He also slowly let out a sigh of relief.
Xi Ligui turned back to Wu Heng and said, “He claimed he was just testing your strength, and he even threatened us earlier, saying he wants to settle scores afterward.”
The room fell silent again.
The Vice-executive and the Investigator turned to look at their Steward, and the Church Knight inside also cast a surprised look.
This… sounded like tattling!
Wu Heng looked at the Church Knight who was sitting in silence, wearing a brand-new and neat suit, looking less like a prisoner and more like someone on vacation.
He said directly, “You guys go out first, I'll have a talk with him.”
The Church Knight's pupils constricted, warily glancing at the two Skeletons behind him, and said, “I did not threaten you guys; it was just a normal conversation.”
The Vice-executive and the Investigator turned to look at him again.
The tone of the Church Knight changed too.
He was defending himself.
“You wanted to test my strength, didn't you? We have plenty of time, let's test it now,” Wu Heng continued.
The Church Knight's expression grew serious, “What, are you trying to disrupt this investigation?”
Xi Ligui then said, “Let's follow the procedure. If he doesn't cooperate, I will notify you.”
Hearing Xi Ligui say this, the Church Knight also breathed a sigh of relief.
He did not continue speaking to provoke the other party.
Wu Heng nodded, saying nothing more.
Xi Ligui turned to the Vice-executive beside her, “Take him down, and we'll question him again tomorrow.”
“Yes!” The Vice-executive Gadain responded, saying, “Right this way, Sir Knight.”
The Church Knight left, and the two Investigators also left.
Wu Heng said, “Which room is he in? I'm going to beat him up later.”
It really wasn't appropriate to do anything while the association's Investigator was present.
The Investigator is a special officer of the association, and whatever is recorded cannot be altered, even by a Steward.
Xi Ligui laughed and said, “Let's wait for the news from the headquarters. It's not very meaningful to ask him these questions.”
In reality, there wasn't much interrogation involved for the Church Knight.
Attacking the Island Master, the reason was not that important; it was up to the association to handle it.
What stance The Holy Court would take.
Last time he run into Lilith, he was just sent back for punishment; this time it will probably be the same.
Everyone had an idea in their hearts.
“Mhm.” Wu Heng nodded.
The three of them walked out of the room, returning to the Steward's Office.
Back in the Steward's Office.
Shi Yali was brewing tea and said, “Weren't you supposed to come have dinner at our place yesterday!”
Wu Heng scratched his head, his tone apologetic, “Sorry, I went out yesterday and didn't manage my time well, which caused the delay.”
“It wasn't to meet another woman, was it?” Shi Yali handed over the tea, her gaze fixed on him, asking.
Wu Heng took the tea and took a sip, saying, “I'm not foolish. Why would I go looking for someone else when I have you? It was something concerning a Special Item.”
Shi Yali winked at him, a look of letting him off the hook.
Xi Ligui then steered the conversation back to the main topic, “Aside from the Church Knight, the rest have been mostly investigated.”
“What's the situation?” Wu Heng asked.
The incident started when a disheveled man followed Holy Court personnel and was discovered by them, resulting in a conflict on the street.
After Wu Heng encountered him, he had the Guard Team capture him and bring him back.
Xi Ligui said, “That man was indeed following people from The Holy Court and was gathering intelligence. The Holy Court personnel can completely disassociate themselves from him; the only reason they can be detained is because they attacked you.”
The association is somewhat capable and has basically deduced the entire situation.
Wu Heng simply said, “That man is Mackintosh's man.”
Xi Ligui and Shi Yali both showed expressions that seemed to say they expected this.
“What do you plan to do?” Xi Ligui asked.
“Keep investigating for now, and then find a reason to release him.”
“That works; releasing him might just lead to Holy Court's retaliation,” Shi Yali reminded.
“We'll arrange for them to go into hiding for a while.” Wu Heng shared his plan.
Xi Ligui nodded, “That works. Have you written to the headquarters yet?”
“Not yet. I came to see how you would write it, to avoid any inconsistencies in our accounts,” Wu Heng said directly.
Xi Ligui said irritably, “You're a Mage and still want to see ours.”
“Just to avoid any trouble,” Wu Heng said with a smile.
Xi Ligui didn't speak, and Shi Yali took a piece of paper from the side, “Here, this is the original claim; the contents are pretty much the same.”
“Alright.” Wu Heng directly placed it into the Space Ring.
Shi Yali then asked, “Will you come for dinner tonight?”
“I'll give you a call in advance these next couple of days.”
“Okay.”
“Then I'll go back and write the letter now.”
After saying goodbye to the two women, he left the office directly.
Back at the Island Lord's Mansion.
Wu Heng handed over the letter he received to Glenda, asking her to refer to it while writing two letters, which would be good to send out tomorrow.
He then went downstairs and sat in his room.
After pondering for a while, he picked up the radio to contact Lilith, “Leader Lilith, are you there?”
After a brief silence, Lilith's voice came from the other side, “What is it?”
“I haven't contacted you for a while, just checking how you've been doing,” Wu Heng chuckled.
“What have you gotten yourself into now?”
