Iskran had difficulty answering Agatha's question.

In the past, the Blade Bearing Brotherhood versus the Golden Shield Royal Family was a simple one-on-one affair. Both sides could always find a balance that was uncomfortable but acceptable to everyone. But now that a new noble force has been added, the difficulty of the three-party game is not as simple as adding one.

In particular, the new aristocracy suddenly emerged, gaining momentum and showing its sharp edge.

Under the pressure of the imperial power and the new nobles, the Blade Bearing Brotherhood has gradually lost power. Some people's mentality has changed greatly, and internal differences have become increasingly serious.

A sense of crisis can easily drive people to extremes.

The alliance between the Celtic Duke and the Temple of the Abyss will cause big problems sooner or later.

"Alas..." Viscount Escolan let out a long sigh: "Yes, times are different. Perhaps the Blade-bearing Brotherhood has completed the duties entrusted to it by its ancestors. Your Highness, you want to know what is in that bag.

Something?"

Agatha said: "I can guess it without looking... Is it evidence of the official-business smuggling group in Nutao City?"

"I know that nothing can be hidden from His Highness. These are indeed the evidences I have collected about smuggling by officials and merchants in Nutao City, and they are just the tip of the iceberg. If Your Majesty is willing to take advantage of these evidences and investigate deeper, the tax revenue of Nutao City can be doubled at least five times.

Times or more.”

Agatha fastened her purse again and said: "At least 50% of the palace officials must also be arrested, and there are many members of the royal family among them. This is not a big case that you can raise. My father knows that it will bring great consequences to the empire."

What kind of turmoil it will bring. You should know it, but you still come with this evidence...What do you want to do?"

When Viscount Iskran was about to answer, the chamberlain came to tell him: Your Majesty has summoned...

The Viscount stood up and said to Agatha: "That's not important anymore. Can I ask you to come with me to see His Majesty?"

Agatha stood up and replied: "Yes...Rage City's tax revenue may not be increased five times, but can be increased two times, which will be extremely considerable wealth for the empire.

On the way, you can continue to talk about Inspector Meteor, I want to hear the opinions of all parties in Raging Wave City about him."

"Yes, Your Highness...please..."

The next day, Raging Wave City.

Yomington arrived at the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau on time almost as if he was clocking in for work. This time he got his wish and met Inspector Meteor who was about to go out.

"Inspector Meteorite..."

Luke walked past Yomington and said, "Let's go, let's go see Virgil together."

Yomington did not show any emotion because of Luke's rudeness. He walked out of the door and got into the special car of the Secret Service agent.

When the motorcade started, he asked Luke, who was sitting next to him: "Why didn't the little girl named Sandpaper that I saw last time at the Sisi Sai Palace not follow?"

Luke knew that he was trying to ask Kestrel, so he replied: "Sandpaper is just an ordinary mechanical repairman here. The last time the Abyss Mage was encircled and suppressed, all the war machines dispatched needed to be overhauled, and the mechanical repair room was very busy."

Yoomington continued to ask: "That girl is very powerful. Being a mechanical repairman is too much of a talent. If, Detective, you are willing to let her work for me and serve the Chief Assistant, I guarantee to give you a very generous reward."

"Hahaha..." Luke laughed and said: "You are looking for the Kestrel. To tell you the truth, she is in my hands, and I have helped her recover part of her memory. I know that your Cross Foundation is very concerned about these things.

What did the girl do? Apart from having a good reputation, what you do is not much different from the Temple of the Abyss.

The evidence I have now is enough to ruin your reputation."

Yomington didn't expect Luke to admit it like this. He said threateningly: "I can't understand some of your words. I ask you to hand Kestrel over to me immediately. I am her legal guardian and I reserve the right to prosecute."

You have the power to commit kidnapping and many other crimes."

"Then sue me...Whether it's in the Raging Waves City Court or the Empire's Supreme Court, I'll accompany you. I have a truckload of information to play with. It's up to you to see if you dare to play with me."

Of course, Yeomington did not dare to make this matter a big deal, especially since he was not sure how much evidence the Secret Service had in its hands. Girls like Kestrel were too young, and once they were brought to light, it would be a turmoil that was difficult to end.

He could not have imagined that someone could steal the kestrel silently under heavy protection. And the sandpaper was obviously the girl who killed Professor Greyfire. She was also a survivor of the secret of eternal life, and she was very special.

One existence, and the three rescued girls all showed a sense of dependence on her.

This is the subconscious mind that cannot be suppressed even by brain modification devices.

"You have already caused a lot of trouble for Her Royal Highness the Princess in Raging Wave City. If you don't hand over the kestrel and sandpaper to me, you will cause even greater trouble for Her Highness."

Yomington redirects the threat.

Luke scoffed: "When you said this, didn't you think it was funny? I really want to see what trouble you can cause for Her Royal Highness the Princess?

Yeomington, I kindly remind you... think about how you can leave Raging Waves City alive first."

"Are you threatening the life of a high-ranking Imperial official?"

"I made it very clear. I'm reminding you. Here we are, let's go see Representative Virgil together. We're looking forward to what he can say to us."

The motorcade stopped at 102 Organ Street.

A war left a beautiful small building in dilapidated condition. Even after days of cleaning, piles of broken bricks and various pieces of furniture can still be seen everywhere.

The Cape District Secret Service has purchased the ownership of this land from Councilor Ibur at a very low price. Imperial spies moved in and used several relatively intact rooms as offices. The cellar in the northeast corner has been transformed into

A dungeon.

Passing through the ruins, Luke took Yomington into the heavily guarded dungeon. Inside the dungeon were cells separated by stainless steel bars, with Senator Virgil locked in the middle.

As soon as he entered the dungeon, Yomington noticed the abnormality of the atmosphere inside, the extreme depression and the fear that made people jump. This is not a prison cell at all, but a spiritual mill. It can gradually grind down people's spiritual defenses and break down the most vulnerable ones.

The nerves were grabbed and crushed cruelly.

Yomington could already imagine what Virgil was like at this moment, but when he saw Virgil, he found that his imagination was too optimistic.

"You can't treat an imperial noble so cruelly! I ask you to release Virgil immediately! I will take him back to the imperial capital. He is entitled to treatment consistent with his status. The Supreme Court of the Empire has accepted this case. This is a big deal.

Judge’s order letter.

Detective Meteor, let him go!"

Yomington went to the Secret Intelligence Bureau of Cape District every day these days, asking to see Virgil, because he was prepared to use his trump card to take him out as soon as he saw him.

The order letter from the Supreme Court Justice of the Empire was shown in front of Luke, and he must release him unless ordered by the Emperor.

As long as Virgil is fished out, all accusations against him will be eliminated, and then there will be a counterattack.

According to normal procedures, this is indeed the case.

But Yaomington was faced with a "fake" detective.

Luke took the order letter from the chief judge, and after reading it once, he asked Taotie to burn it.

The scene was very quiet for a while.

Luke said: "Lord Yomington, where is the order letter from the chief justice? Show it to me. As long as it is true, I will release you immediately."

Yeomington looked at his empty hands and the falling dust... he was dumbfounded!

He has been an official all his life and has never seen anyone so bold.

"You, you dare to burn the chief judge's order letter!"

Luke crushed the large piece of paper ash that fell on the ground and said: "Lord Yeomington, don't slander an upright senior imperial agent. When did I burn the Chancellor's order letter? How dare I?

Burn the Lord Chancellor’s order!”

Yomington didn't expect Luke to be so shameless. He pointed at the imperial agents who came in with him and said angrily: "They all saw it!"

Luke asked the spies: "What did you see?"

These spies were all temporary workers recruited by the dock. They all shook their heads and said, "We didn't see anything."

"I obviously burned a piece of paper."

"Yes, the Inspector burned a piece of paper."

Luke asked again: "What would you say if you go to the Supreme Court of the Empire to testify?"

The spies said: "We don't know how to read. We really don't know how to read."

Yomington never expected that a dignified imperial spy would dare to perjury on such a matter. He angrily pointed at the entourage who followed him and said: "My people have all seen that I gave you the order letter from the chief judge."

, you burned it!”

Luke sneered: "You said they are your people, how can they still appear in court to testify?"

"You, you..." Yeomington blushed angrily: "I will definitely sue you, and the Supreme Court of the Empire will definitely make a fair judgment."

"This will have to wait until you can leave Raging Waves City alive." Luke said contemptuously to Yaomington: "I want to interrogate Virgil now. Are you going to go back and find the order letter from the chief judge, or are you going to observe?"

Yomington instantly calmed down.

Can a person who dares to burn a letter of order from a chancellor dare to kill a senior official of the empire? Even if he is an aide to the chief minister of the imperial cabinet, even if he is a noble of his own empire.

Look at Virgil who is already crazy in the prison and look at the ashes on the ground. There is nothing that the Meteor Detective can't do.

He has the ability to steal the kestrel silently, and he also has the ability to assassinate himself silently.

He even directly killed his own group of people in this prison.

He is so confident that he must have the eldest princess to endorse him. On behalf of the eldest princess, he is very resolute in his actions in Raging Wave City. No matter what obstacles there are, he must drive this nail here.

And the reason why the eldest princess did this... was it her intention or His Majesty's intention?

I have to admit that many things that Raging Wave City has done are extremely excessive. The trade volume has increased year after year, but the tax revenue has remained unchanged year after year. The Chief Minister also knows that doing this will definitely touch the limit of His Majesty's tolerance, but how can he eat from this plate?

Mouth too much.

If you want to pay more taxes, it is bound to involve the interests of many people.
