Ever since she had beaten Osweiler's grandson into a coma, Melissa had been grounded by her father for a week.
Although Melissa belonged to the Battle Section and was not under Yue Sefu's jurisdiction, Yue Sefu had as many friends as enemies.
Melissa's current superior, Winston, was also Yue Sefu's best friend.
Thus, even if Melissa could be considered to have 'captured a low-level member of the internal corrupt organization', she had achieved a small merit.
But because she had used too much force and caused Todd to suffer a concussion, he was unable to be rescued in time and his brain function was affected. Thus, Myrtle Pagoda's laws still sentenced her to seven days of confinement as a punishment for injuring others.
Of course, this was only an explanation on the surface.
Yue Sefu had returned and had directly taken down a veteran Radiant Grand Knight. The ones implicated were not as simple as a few ordinary official Knights.
Osweiler's faction was spread throughout the four major sections of Myrtle Pagoda. If Osweiler was the towering tree that sheltered them, then these people were the tree's roots, deeply embedded in every corner of the Myrtle Pagoda. Wanting to uproot them was not an easy task.
Even though their biggest backer had fallen and could no longer provide them with protection, they still had a lot to gain.
But as the saying goes, it was easy to get past the King of Hell, but difficult to deal with the little ghosts. It was precisely because these ordinary members did not have Osweiler's strength to be fearless that when something happened, they hid even more inconspicuously, and it was not easy to track them down.
Not to mention, when Joseph was still the First Radiant Grand Knight, he had offended some people due to his extreme righteousness and uprightness … Remember this in a second.
Now that he had become high-profile again, there would definitely be a hidden whirlpool.
For example, Yue Sefu's search of Osweiler's residence this time, although he had the official orders from the Elders and there were no mistakes in the procedures, there were still people who used Wang Erde's matter to make an issue out of it, accusing him of not doing his duty and letting this troublesome criminal escape after two years, even allowing Osweiler's death.
There were even more outrageous rumors that he might have colluded with Wang Erde and used the latter to cover up the evidence of his collaboration with Oswald.
In such a situation, to a certain extent, Melissa was the fuse, and if they allowed her to continue with her training and missions, it was equivalent to placing her in the center of the storm. Without talking about persecution, the rumors and slanders would cause the young lady to feel uncomfortable.
Although Yue Sefu felt that suitable mental training was beneficial for Melissa's growth, but the indirect harm brought by his neglect in the past two years had been displayed incisively and incisively in the matter with Todd.
This "training" was long enough … Now that he was going to make a comeback, he naturally had to let loose and do his duty as a father.
Therefore, although it was called confinement, it was actually protection in disguise.
"Pa."
Melissa closed the book in her hands and heaved a sigh of relief, she closed her eyes and thought about it, feeling a deep sense of fatigue and satisfaction.
"The foundation of everything is actually the same … The same foundation, but because of the way and order of combination and combination, it forms a different substance. And if I can use the aether to control these foundation stones, I can control their form … control their existence."
"Previously, I could only 'see' the existence and structure of these foundation stones. On this foundation, using the cracks and unstable places, I could even break the shield that can defend against Annihilation class attacks, just like what I did to Todd."
"But in other words, that's all I can do."
"If there is really an Annihilation class in front of me, I will not be able to last more than one round because I will not have the chance to force out the Annihilation class defense … On the contrary, an Annihilation class transcendent can kill me in one round because I can only see through it and not defend against it."
"But what if I can control them, or even deconstruct the aether? Even Annihilation class attacks will collapse! "
"I see, this is true power."
Melissa was deep in thought, her eyes flashing with excitement, she was almost beaming with joy.
She looked very haggard, and there were dark circles under her eyes. Her face was pale, but she was excited.
It had been three months since she had received the Key to the Door: Origin from the bookstore, but she had only just begun to understand it.
Before this, every time she read this book, she would fall into an involuntary state until she fainted.
Although she was learning, it was like a primary school student who had received an advanced mathematics textbook and was forced to learn it. The efficiency was extremely low.
With her previous level, she could not even understand one ten-thousandth of this book.
It was not that she was learning, but the knowledge was consuming her.
The more she could not understand, the more she wanted to learn.
So, she could only keep reading … But her body could not support her mind, so every time she read, she had to use external forces to get out of this state. Otherwise, she would die of exhaustion.
In the painful learning process, Melissa's mind and body had been tempered repeatedly.
Her power increased by leaps and bounds, reaching the peak of Panic class.
However, considering that the Miyirst Tower's strategy against the bookstore was unclear, she deliberately hid her power so that not many people knew …
"There's no need to hide anymore. According to what Dad said, the Miyirst Tower will lean towards the bookstore. Pleasing Boss Lin will be the only strategy, the first priority."
Although the Elders' orders were definitely not as simple as "pleasing Boss Lin", it did not stop Melissa from understanding it.
Melissa chuckled.
The people who came into contact with the bookstore first, including Yue Sefu, Melissa, and Caroline, would naturally become the core of the Miyirst Tower's next actions.
In other words, those who were still planning to harm Yue Sefu were already on the opposite side of the Elders.
"They're just digging their own graves!"
Melissa thought as she stood up with the book in her hands.
This was the Miyirst Tower's confinement room. It was only the height of a person and one square meter in size. The only two furnishings were a table and a stool. It was extremely narrow.
During confinement, there would be three hours of conversation time every day, during three meals a day. They could also bring along items like books and rubik's cubes to prevent psychological problems. After all, the purpose of confinement was not to torture but to reflect.
Melissa was often confined in the past. The Extraordinaires of the Miyirst Tower were not ordinary people. Confinement for three to seven days would not cause any psychological trauma.
This was her last day of confinement.
The moment Melissa stood up, a door appeared on the wall behind her and slowly opened.
One of her instructors in the Combat Department stood at the door expressionlessly and handed over a stack of documents.
"Melissa, confinement is over. There's a new mission."
Melissa took it and looked at it. She frowned. "Encircle the Corpse Food Cult's base on 67th Street …"
