“You will have all the proves you need within a few hours, let’s start with the room investigation first, I am sure we will find something interesting.”
“Y-You can’t invade my privacy!
Y-You can’t do it!”
Nixon shouted out loud.
“Keeve, go and look into his room,”
“As you command, Lady Astaria.”
Keeve nodded, this time, he didn’t repeat his mistake and turned around.
“Wait.”
Suddenly, Nux called out.
“What is it now?” Keeve questioned in a slightly annoyed tone.
Nux looked at Thyra, the woman nodded,
“Let her go with you,” Nux spoke.
Keeve looked at Lane for a while, then he turned back to Nux and nodded.
Lane and Keeve then walked away.
“Doesn’t that man work in Security Division?”
“Mhm, he does, I am sure I have seen him many times, however, I am not that close to him, but Leigh, aren’t you and him friends, I have seen you two talking to each other quite often.”
“Indeed, I know him for many years now, I don’t know what this man wants to do, however, this is definitely unsettling to see someone random being allowed to investigate us all like we are some disposable tools.
Was our years of hard work and dedication to the Kingdom amount to nothing?”
The man named Leigh was not happy.
“It is unsettling indeed, however, that woman seems to favor that boy.”
“Who is that woman anyway?”
“Oi, lower your voice, don’t you see how all King Stage Cultivators and most of the Expert Stage Cultivators are still bowing their heads, none of them are saying anything since she has arrived. They didn’t act like this even in front of the King, but they are doing it in front of that woman.
It is not respect, it is sheer fear at this point.
That woman is not normal.
Even General Phorus is addressing her as Lady Astaria.”
“Yes, and did you see how she just made him turn silent with just a look, I even noticed that he was trembling.”
“To make General Phorus tremble… I can only imagine how fearsome this woman is…”
“Indeed…”
The discussions started.
“Also, I don’t think that man is saying random things…”
Suddenly, someone spoke.
“What do you mean?”
Leigh, Nixon’s friend narrowed his eyes.
“Think about it, that man just randomly selected Riley out of so many of us, if it was you and your room was being searched, how would you react?”
“I would be angry of course! How can they invade my Privacy on basis of some random man’s words!?” Leigh retorted.
“Indeed, I would think the same, but would you have dared to raise your voice when that woman is here and even the King Stage Cultivators are silent?”
The man questioned and suddenly, Leigh turned silent.
“…”
“See? There is no way you would raise your voice in front of a fearsome woman like her and so many King Stage Cultivators just because of your privacy, or would you?”
“…”
“Riley’s reaction is strange, I think that man knows something. I am actually looking forward to what would happen in the next few minutes.”
Leigh didn’t know what to say, he understood what that man wanted to say, but Riley was someone he was close to.
Won’t he be implicated if Riley turns out to be guilty?
Suddenly, Leigh noticed everyone turning their heads in a certain direction, he followed everyone’s gaze and saw Keeve and that woman had returned.
‘Hmm? They are back already?’
He then noticed Lord Keeve had a strange on his face, the woman who had gone with him, on the other hand, had an expressionless look on her face. Suddenly, a small, beautiful smile appeared on her face and she increased her pace.
She then walked towards that man and soon, a few papers appeared in her hands.
The man smiled, Leigh noticed that as soon as those papers appeared, Riley’s face changed.
A determined look then appeared on Riley’s face, however, before he could do anything, that golden-eyed man suddenly grabbed him by his throat.
Leigh’s eyes widened in surprise,
How could he just attack a man working for the Royal Palace like that!?
He wondered inwardly.
Soon, however, he noticed that Riley coughed up a Black Colored Pill.
“Ugghhh!!”
Riley struggled, however, in front of Nux, he was helpless.
Nux smiled, then he increased his strength, and soon, the man passed out.
Nux threw his body away like he was trash, he then picked up the Black Colored Pill that the man had coughed out, and turned towards Astaria,
“I don’t need to give you any more proves, do I?”
Astaria raised her hand, Nux understood what she wanted and threw the Pill at her,
Astaria caught the pill and observed it carefully.
“Poison.”
She commented.
“A very serious one at that.”
Nux commented.
“Do you know what that pill is?” Astaria questioned with a slightly surprised look on her face.
“Of course not.
I just thought that if a Spy is using that, then it must be of good quality or something.”
Nux shrugged.
Astaria’s mouth twitched.
“Anyways, so as I was saying, you don’t need any proves, do you?”
Nux questioned again.
“Indeed.” Astaria nodded.
“I will give you all the details once Amaya is done with her expectation, don’t worry, it won’t take long.”
Nux smiled.
Keeve lowered his head, he then glanced at Nux and snorted,
‘That bastard, he is flexing on basis of Lady Amaya’s skills. Tsk.’
Astaria glanced at Nux for a while and then nodded.
“Alright.”
“Right, you would also want some information from this guy’s mouth, don’t you?”
“Of course I do, that man will be an important resource.”
Astaria nodded,
“Yes, you don’t have to worry about that, if anything, I am confident in extracting information.”
Nux glanced at Keeve for a while, then, he turned back towards Astaria and continued,
“So as I was saying, give this guy to me, and I will make sure you will know everything you want.
Trust me, I have the best experts in this field.”
Nux smiled as he looked at Ember and Thyra.
The two women smiled and seeing those smiles, many men felt a chill running through their spines.
