Chapter 452 - 314: Registration and the Law of the Second Rank
Inside the Black Castle, in the interrogation room.
Atbolde Rudolph remained silent, his face furrowed like tree bark, heavy with solemnity.
Next to him, Lillian Rudolph looked at the grinning Rice across from her, her brows almost knitting together, and said coldly with anger in her voice, "These so-called 'evidence' you have are all forged!"
"Oh—" Rice chuckled, glancing at the two of them, and countered, "So, the two of you still refuse to admit it?"
Lillian kept her face stern and didn't respond, just watched Rice with a cold gaze.
She knew that saying more would do no good.
"Is this how the Black Castle's inspectors gather evidence?" Atbolde asked in a deep voice.
"Do you doubt the authenticity of the evidence?" Rice asked with a smile.
Seeing Lillian and Atbolde maintain their silence, he slowly stood up.
"Unfortunately, the evidence is irrefutable. We found these items through
"If the two of you continue to refuse to read it, then that will be taken as a willful abandonment of this..." Rice looked at Lillian's clenched fist and her pale face, delightfully urging.
However, he had not yet finished speaking.
A snap echoed as the door to the interrogation room was suddenly pushed open.
A Witch, clad in a dark-black Wizard Robe with golden patterns, entered the room.
Rice swiftly turned around, but his original indignation faded upon seeing the Witch's face and the three Golden Feather insignia on her chest; he quickly bowed with respect, greeting her,
"Madam Nancy."
Witch Nancy didn't respond. She moved slightly to reveal Colin standing behind her.
The golden-haired young man was dressed in a simple standard Wizard Robe, but his posture was upright and his features handsome, exuding an aura that was no less formidable than that of the Third Rank Wizards nearby!
Lillian's lovely golden-green eyes widened slightly, and Atbolde was also momentarily stunned, a smile showing on his face.
This student had already brought him many surprises.
"Tutor, senior sister,"
Colin smiled, greeting Lillian and Atbolde, then turned his head respectfully to the Witch beside him,
"Madam Nancy, thank you for your trouble."
"Mhm," Nancy replied with a gentle smile.
Then she turned to Rice, who looked baffled, and her expression suddenly turned serious as she ordered in a cold voice,
"By order of the School—the deaths of Yasi Hidosh and Marjorie Alist shall no longer be investigated as of this moment. The matter has been concluded.Now, immediately release Atbolde Rudolph and Lillian Rudolph!"
"No longer under investigation..." Rice was inwardly startled, but he didn't show any signs on his face; his eyes were only slightly narrowed.
Mo'er, in the rank of the inspectors behind him, frowned. He couldn't understand why Colin would appear here.
Everything had been going according to the Family's plan... yet at this time, everything changed.
Yet, Ralph, standing next to them, promptly nodded in agreement, "Understood, Madam Nancy."
By the rules of the Black Castle, he was not a member of the Hidosh Family.
Though the Faction he backed was in good standing with the Hidosh Family, Nancy was one of their superiors among the inspectors. Obeying her now could not be mistaken, and even the Hidosh Family could find no fault.
Therefore, he nodded without hesitating.
Seeing his reaction, Rice paused for a moment, his thoughts spinning rapidly, then he also smiled and nodded, turning briskly to open the door to the temporary cell.
