Rear Guard Arrangements

Faced with the provocation of the Nightless Sky Huo Xian, Nightless Sky Huo Le gradually Leng Jing down.

She realized that these guys in front of her were definitely prepared...

The Solence Family has probably been in contact with the Nightless Sky Huo Xian Nightless Sky Huo Shu String for a long time—these people have been waiting and looking for an opportunity to deal a heavy blow to them.

The arrest warrant for Sherlock, issued yesterday, was a test of me... Through a slip-up that Sherlock accidentally revealed, this hidden net, which had been lurking for perhaps months or even longer, suddenly exerted its strength and seized the opportunity to entangle me.

Their goal

With a calculated mind and an unsuspecting mind, Nightless Sky Huo Le clearly understood that there was nothing he could do for the time being.

After figuring this out, Nightless Sky Huo Le looked at Sherlock, who was pinned to the ground, and showed an apologetic expression on his face.

"I'm sorry, Sherlock... I dragged you into this."

"Nightless Sky Huo Le apologized in a low voice."

For a Royal Nobles to publicly apologize to Commoner with no status is an almost unthinkable sight in the City That Never Sleeps.

Undoubtedly, this is adding insult to injury for Nightless Sky Huo Le's already severely damaged image.

However, Nightless Sky Huo Le still ignored the discussions about him in the auditorium.

The cacophony of whispers and discussions that could have overwhelmed a person seemed to have no effect on Nightless Sky Huo Le's ears.

She simply looked at Sherlock calmly and Leng Jing before giving her promise.

"But I assure you, I won't keep you waiting long," Nightless Sky Huo Le said, clenching his fist. "I will do everything in my power to get you out of the Security Bureau as soon as possible, and then... everyone who made you suffer this humiliation tonight will pay the price."

"Nightless Sky Huo Le said coldly, then looked at Nightless Sky Huo Xian and Larry Solence."

"The Nightless Sky Huo Xian, the Solence Family —I will remember what happened tonight."

"You will pay the price... I will make you realize that supporting the Nightless Sky Huo Shu was the most foolish decision you ever made, and the despicable tactics used tonight to frame me are the most foolish thing you've ever done."

She spoke in a cold voice, then looked at all the guests.

"I apologize for interrupting everyone's enjoyment—please forgive me."

She then turned and left, letting the Security Bureau officers take Sherlock away.

After a dejected Sherlock was taken away, just as the Security Bureau were about to take away the Truth Company security guards who had resisted, Paris spoke up.

"Gentlemen, what wrong has my subordinate committed?"

"You think they're all involved in the assassination of Royal Nobles, is that it? -- Twelve members of the Truth Company's Security Department, six members of the Truth Company's Great Wilderness Pioneer Team, including the leader of the Truth Company's Security Department's δ Group whom I personally promoted, and the Pioneer Team appointed by Nightless Sky Huo Le... Why don't you just impeach Lord Nightless Sky Huo Le for also participating in the assassination of Royal Nobles!"

President Paris spoke loudly, his refined face revealing a fierce expression.

"Director Dyke, damn it, you should just quit while you're ahead. You've offended Lord Huo Le and me to this extent. Do you think the Solence Family can protect you?"

"And Your Excellency Larry Solence, are you really going to go this far? There's still a long time before the change of President of Truth Company and the selection of the Head Candidate of the Nightless Sky Family —is it your intention to put all your chips on the Nightless Sky Huo Shu so early, or His Lord Shelf's intention, or the Solence Family's intention?"

Paris spoke almost interrogatively, and Larry Solence stared at him for a long time before sitting back down.

He did not respond directly to Paris, but instead gave instructions to the Bureau Chief the Security Bureau.

"Director Dyke, don't escalate the situation or arrest unrelated personnel... just arrest the mastermind."

He conceded.

The remaining members of the Security Bureau also hurriedly withdrew, and the Security Department from the Truth Company gathered around Paris.

Paris led them out, grabbing Stiller, who was wearing the Combat Suit of the Delta Group leader.

"What's going on? What are you doing? What on earth is Sherlock up to?"

Stiller removed his helmet and said somewhat somberly, "I don't know either."

Paris rubbed his forehead, looking utterly exasperated, and said, "You don't know either? What exactly happened, Sherlock!"

Unlike Nightless Sky Huo Le, who had Leng Jing down and was preparing to retaliate, Paris was surprisingly indifferent at this moment.

It's not that his demeanor or vision is much inferior to that of Nightless Sky Huo Le; it's simply because Paris knows more inside information!

At this moment Nightless Sky Huo Le firmly believes that Sherlock is innocent, but Paris knows very well...

Sherlock actually did it!

He was indeed involved in the plot to assassinate Royal Nobles —he even carried it out himself.

The words I just said to Larry Solence and Bureau Chief Security Bureau were mostly bluff.

"Now we can only hope that Nightless Sky Huo Le City will act quickly, and... that guy Sherlock must have some backup plan, right?"

"How could such an ambitious and cunning fellow possibly surrender so easily!"

President Paris reassured himself.

Now, all he can do is pray that everything is in Sherlock's plan and that everything will go smoothly from here on out.

"This is truly the biggest gamble of my life."

Watching the Pioneer Team members quietly leave the rear of the group when no one was paying attention, President Paris felt even more hopeful.

"At least Nightless Sky Huo Ming City is still operating normally, perhaps... she knows some inside information!"

At that moment, the bell finally rang—although the scene had been chaotic, everyone on both sides had tacitly resolved the matter as quickly as possible, with the ultimate goal being...

Neither side wanted to delay the normal progress of the coming-of-age ceremony!

Nightless Sky Huo Le goes without saying; she was Nightless Sky Family Head to oversee the coming-of-age ceremony.

As for the Solence Family... their goal was ultimately just to support the Nightless Sky Huo Shu. Whether it was Larry Solence or Nightless Sky Huo Xian, their target was Nightless Sky Huo Le.

However, if they go too far, they won't just offend Nightless Sky Huo Le, but the entire Nightless Sky Family!

They will retaliate against their actions, and it won't be Paris or Nightless Sky Huo Le do so.

And it is very likely that it is the Nightless Sky Family Head, who has been silent for a long time but still makes people feel mysterious, terrifying and unfathomable!

They could still tell what was more important—if things escalated to that point, whether the Solence Family and the Nightless Sky Family went to war or not, they would definitely be sacrificed.

They don't need to risk their lives to support the Nightless Sky Huo Shu!
