Outside an interrogation room with one-way glass.
The Divine Son watched Suzuki sitting in a chair inside the room, being questioned, his expression exceptionally cold.
The Director of the Public Security Administration stood stiffly beside him, his body slightly bent, not daring to meet the Divine Son's eyes.
"...In short, she also doesn't know why Shadow let her return. Nor did she obtain any valuable intelligence. Her [Profiling] ability completely failed when used on Shadow face-to-face. It should be because the other party's Mind Power Cap exceeds hers by far..."
"Are you sure she wasn't lying?" the Divine Son asked.
"We used lie-detection items during the interrogation, so there shouldn't be a problem. My guess is..."
The director hesitated, unsure whether he should say it.
"You want to say that Shadow spared her out of kindness."
"Well... after all, she has no combat ability. She's only support personnel. Even on a battlefield, roles like 'medics' would receive preferential treatment after being captured."
"Wrong. As long as they belong to the enemy camp, regardless of age or gender, none can be spared." The Divine Son glanced at him. "With that mindset, you're no longer suited to manage the Public Security Administration. Take some time off. I'll arrange for someone to take over the administration."
"...Yes."
The Divine Son had stripped the Director of the Public Security Administration of his position with a single sentence. That was nothing strange; he possessed that much power.
After the director left, the Divine Son spoke. "Xin."
"Master."
A voice sounded beside him. Then, a masked man emerged from the void and dropped to one knee before the Divine Son.
This man actually possessed the ability to turn invisible.
"Once the questioning here is finished, take her back to my residence. Interrogate her again yourself."
"Yes."
