Red Robes and Blue Robes

What?! The Kuwait Family lady has disappeared!

Upon hearing this news, the first person Linsey thought of was Anthony, whom she hadn't seen for most of the day.

Anthony was encouraged by himself and Wala Wala.

Now, I can say that I am embarking on my journey to find love again with great enthusiasm.

Maybe Anthony found that Kuwait Family lady, and the two of them impulsively eloped? No, that's impossible.

Linsey thought about it again and immediately dismissed that possibility.

Anthony is just an ordinary person.

In such a short period of time, without any external assistance.

He was all alone, and his chances of eloping were slim, let alone finding a lover.

The matter doesn't make sense.

Linsey stood up and walked to Wala Wala.

He calmly and unhurriedly recounted yesterday's experience. "We did go to Kuwait yesterday."

"But we haven't met Kuwait himself, and we don't know where his daughter is. If you really want to find the missing person, you'd better not waste your time on us."

The man who came to inquire completely ignored all of that; he simply asked, "So, you admit it?"

Linsey said in a deep voice, "None of us have admitted to any crimes."

"And even if you're going to take us on an investigation, you should at least provide evidence. I bet during the Art Festival, the City of a Thousand Sails will also use some fabricated charges to persecute visitors from other worlds, right?"

When the Art Festival was mentioned, a hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the man who approached to ask the question.

Then that feeling turned into anger. "A country bumpkin who appeared out of nowhere, a remnant of the Black Tide."

"Do you think you can get away with this by just telling a few lies?!"

The man in front of them clearly had no intention of letting Linsey and Wala Wala.

Linsey naturally had no intention of taking the blame for someone else or being the one to shoulder the blame.

Seeing this situation.

He sighed inwardly and began to look for weapons in his baggage.

The City of a Thousand Sails truly lives up to the standards of World Main City.

These five law enforcement officers all appeared to be Awakened Ones, and their abilities were around the Fifth Stage.

One-on-one, Linsey can handle it easily.

But dealing with five at once is a completely different level of difficulty.

Moreover, after defeating these guys, there's real trouble waiting for us.

How do I escape this city?

This matter could potentially involve awakened individuals at or above the Sixth Stage.

Even though Linsey has a plethora of abilities at her disposal.

It's not necessarily guaranteed that they'll escape unscathed.

The City of a Thousand Sails is a city that openly has awakened individuals at the Eighth Stage.

According to some local settings, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call the artists of the Eighth Stage here creator gods.

What kind of hellish difficulty dungeon is this?! At the same time, Wala Wala also sensed Linsey's emotions.

The girl silently took a step back, giving the two of them some space to move around in preparation for the battle that was about to break out.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Just then, an impatient voice suddenly rang out from outside.

Immediately afterwards, three more men rushed into the restaurant, looking tense and flustered.

The leader of the group, seeing the Awakened ones surrounding Linsey and Wala Wala, quickly asked, "Savat, what are you doing surrounding these two?"

The man in front of Linsey did not back down. "Lu Ying, this is none of your business!"

"The Kuwait Family lady went missing last night, and these two are the prime suspects!"

The man Lu Ying immediately asked, "Since you're going to take them away, you should have evidence, right?"

Instead of answering directly, Savat asked in return, "What do you mean? You're going to stand up for these two guys?"

Lu Ying's tone was serious:

"Even if you're going to arrest someone, you'd better find out beforehand who you're going to arrest."

"..."

Two men from the Art Association confront each other in the restaurant, while Linsey and Wala Wala are somewhat out of the loop.

Seeing this, Linsey began to carefully observe the two groups of people.

The City of a Thousand Sails is managed by the Art Association.

These people were all wearing the uniforms of the Art Association staff.

It was a garment with a silky texture, shaped like a scholar's robe, but with a simpler neckline.

The only difference.

The two groups of people were dressed in completely opposite colors, one red and one blue.

Linsey a step back and whispered to Wala Wala behind her, "What's going on now?"

Wala Wala whispered back, "Those in Red Robe are usually in charge of presiding over ceremonies and awarding prizes; those in Blue Robe are the city's Art Police, who do all the dirty and hard work."

Awarding prizes...

Linsey seemed lost in thought, while the two people in red and blue continued to stare at each other.

Savat, dressed in Blue Robe, asked:

"Since you know anything, then explain yourself clearly. The Kuwait Family is the White Star Family!"

Lu Ying, dressed in Red Robe, said:

"The fishing Fishing Boat these two were on had previously been attacked by Fallen Artist, who also claimed to have rescued everyone."

"Do you now know who you're surrounding?"

"..."

Savat, Blue Robe, remained silent for a moment before asking, "So you've come here to reward their achievements?"

Lu Ying, in his Red Robe, replied, "City of a Thousand Sails should not mistreat such a meritorious person who has exposed the Fallen Artist."

He emphasized slightly. "Savat, your two 'suspects' have rescued quite a few people from the clutches of these Fallen Artist."

"..."

Some things don't need to be said out loud.

Those within the Art Association system can understand this as well.

The subtext of Lu Ying's emphasized words was to remind Savat that Linsey had rescued a person of considerable importance on the Fishing Boat.

Therefore, even though the matter involves the Kuwait Family lady.

Their attitude cannot be too extreme, otherwise it will also cause trouble.

"Okay, I understand."

Savat sighed, then turned back to look at Linsey and the other person:

"In that case, you still need to come with me this morning, at least to explain what happened yesterday."

"And before this matter is resolved, you must ensure that you do not fall out of the Art Association's sights, is that alright?"

Savat's tone had softened.

Lu Ying, standing to the side, smiled and assured the two, "Gentlemen, please rest assured."

"In the name of the Art Association, I guarantee that neither of you will be treated unfairly!"

"Moreover, the City of a Thousand Sails has also taken note of your achievement in saving an entire ship of people, and your reward will be delivered within three days."

That's how things should have ended.

But Linsey noticed the change in the Task Bar and suddenly spoke up:

"Gentlemen, I also want to clear my name of suspicion."

"While I may not be particularly outstanding in artistic skill, I am quite adept at exploring hidden information."

"You don't mind if I help you, do you?"
