In the small office, Jack sat behind the desk, fidgeting uneasily.
Charlie glanced at his assistant, then stared at Jack like a hawk, asking, "We already know about what happened to Fang Xingjian. For someone like you, who has assisted in committing treason, you should have been executed as well. However, on account that you have a clean background and are still a young Knight, we'll give you a chance to confess. "
"What? Treason? "Jack said anxiously," Xingjian has committed treason? How is that possible? But... but this has nothing to do with him. He really can't be blamed for this. It's all me... I acted on my own accord. "
There was a way?
The two of them exchanged glances, and excitement could be seen in Charlie's eyes.
"Whether he is to be blamed or not, and how the verdict will be decided in the end, that's our business." He said with a cold expression, "What you need to do is to confess everything."
A troubled expression appeared on Jack's face. "I want my daughter to acknowledge Xingjian as her adoptive father, to let him be her first teacher. But I've never thought of letting Xingjian teach her the academy's sword arts. I know that this is treason. How would I dare to have such thoughts?"
Charlie frowned. Although this was not the clue he had imagined, secretly imparting the academy's martial arts was still a serious leak.
Therefore, he asked, "When did Fang Xingjian start teaching your daughter martial arts? What did he teach? Oh, right, where is your daughter now? "
"He hasn't taught her yet." Jack replied, "He really hasn't. That's what I was thinking. Didn't you guys find out? Oh, right, how did you guys find out? I haven't even told my wife about this. "
Charlie exchanged a glance with his assistant, then looked at Jack and said coldly, "You want to play?"
With a slap of his hand, his Reduced Force Field swept onto Jack's chest, slamming him onto the ground and causing him to spit out a large mouthful of blood.
He still had some reservations towards Fang Xingjian, but how could an ordinary Knight like Jack be of any concern to him? In the association, he had dealt with countless Knights like this.
...
Anthony sat comfortably in the chair, his face full of tranquility and calmness.
Before Charlie could ask, Anthony took the initiative to say, "You want to investigate Fang Xingjian, right?"
"I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything."
"Fang Xingjian is obstinate and self-opinionated. He doesn't care about the big picture and does whatever he wants to do. He has no discipline and should have been expelled from the Knights a long time ago. I agree with your investigation."
Charlie frowned. What headstrong, self-opinionated, disorganized, and undisciplined? Even if it was true, it was just a fart. He reminded, "Get to the point."
"Yes, yes." Anthony's face was serious, but he casually said, "He has serious violent tendencies and has beaten his classmates for a long time."
"Especially me and Jack, we get beaten up by him every day. He scolds and scolds us as he beats us up. Ask everyone in Class 256, who hasn't been beaten up by him? Tell me, how can such a hot-tempered fellow continue to be a knight? "
Charlie said impatiently, "We know all of this. Do you have any other information?" He tried to tempt him, "I want information that others don't know about. Don't worry, if you can provide us with effective clues, the association will definitely not mistreat you."
"Mmm." Anthony nodded and said in an even more unconstrained manner, "I feel that this Fang Xingjian is very likely to like men."
Charlie and his assistant's faces tensed up. Anthony continued, "When he's giving us pointers on swordsmanship, he loves to touch our bodies. Don't you think it's weird? "There were a few times when I was touched to the point of feeling embarrassed."
Charlie laughed angrily, "That's your information?"
"That's right." Anthony also laughed, "To say that a Knight likes men is a complete disgrace to the Empire. I strongly support you guys in expelling Fang Xingjian."
"Very good, very good of you. Who do you think you're talking to? The Royal Knight Association supervises all the Knights in the world. Is it something that you can provoke? " Charlie nodded coldly, and with a slap, his Reduced Force Field caused Anthony's face to turn red.
Looking at Anthony, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, Fang Xingjian said, "I'll talk to you one last time."
With that, he said to his assistant, "Bring the next person in first."
…
Lilia smashed Zhuo Zai into pieces with a slap, shouting, "My father is a second transition level 24 Knight, Kirst's City Lord, a viscount aristocrat! My grandfather is an honorary representative of the Royal Knight Association! "
Charlie wiped off the sweat on his forehead. Even he was not willing to offend a Conferred Knight who had a noble title, real power, and countless backers.
He forced a smile and said, "Miss Lilia, don't be nervous. We're just here to ask you to cooperate with our investigation …"
"Cooperate with your mother!" Lilia bellowed furiously, "Release my teacher immediately! Do you know how much time I've wasted practicing my swordsmanship with your bullsh * t? Do you know that you're delaying a future Knight of the Kingdom? "
All of Lilia's muscles and bones were vibrating, and her bellow was like a thunderclap, almost spreading through the entire building.
"Miss Lilia, don't worry. We're only doing a routine investigation. If there's nothing wrong with Fang Xingjian, we'll naturally release him." Charlie suppressed his anger and said to his assistant with a smile, "Miss Lilia doesn't seem to know anything. Bring her back first."
After Lilia had left, Charlie stood in the meeting room, staring at the over ten assistants present, and said, "Are you all idiots? Who invited this woman here? "
One of the assistants raised his hand weakly and said, "You're the one who said that you wanted to invite everyone who has a close relationship with Fang Xingjian."
"Then why don't you take a look at how she looks? Am I interrogating her or is she interrogating me?"
"This is a rural place." Charlie kicked the chair behind him into pieces. "How are we supposed to carry out our work?"
"And you guys, I know that some of you don't want to cause trouble, and that you don't want to offend people. All of you just like to sit around and wait for death, hoping for the world to be at peace.
"Do you guys still have any sense of shame? Do you have any regard for the Empire's responsibility and the association's glory?"
He threw a glance at his assistants, who had different expressions and thoughts, and sighed inwardly, 'All of you are a bunch of good-for-nothings who live off of me while secretly helping others … The president is right. The association's investigation work is very difficult.'
…
On the other hand, the moment Lilia returned home, she ran straight to her father's study.
Kirst's City Lord was sitting behind his office desk, drinking a cup of milk tea when he heard a loud bang. The door to the study was sent flying into the wall, and Lilia dashed in furiously.
"Father, my teacher has been captured. Quickly get someone to release him!"
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Lili, your temper is really …"
"Quickly get someone to release my teacher. It wasn't easy for me to find such a good teacher, and I'm able to improve rapidly every day. Are you going to watch as our clan loses a Knight in the future?"
Lilia dashed up, grabbed his arm and shook it wildly. Kirst's City Lord could not take it anymore, and pressed down on Lilia's shoulder, saying, "That's enough, Lili. Your teacher is fine."
"What do you mean he's fine? Teacher has been locked up till now!"
"Hehe. A sixteen-year-old First Transition Professional who has gone through the supersonic speed. "Kirst's City Lord laughed." The one who should be anxious now isn't your teacher, but that bunch of detectives.
"Fang Xingjian's matter came too suddenly. This bunch of people either did not gather enough information before taking action, or they're completely rash."
The City Lord smiled calmly, "But no matter which one it is, it's hard for them to back down now."
"They're still too young, in such a hurry to stand out. They're not mature enough."
