Liu Yun pondered for a moment, his gaze lingering on Gordan's unquestionable expression before he finally sighed helplessly. He knew well that on a place like Qiu Long Star, the Domain Lord's will was everything, and Gordan, as the Domain Lord's special affairs officer, clearly wielded considerable authority.
Glinda was also an unregistered resident. If they really pressed the issue, the trouble would be immense. Liu Yun had no choice but to compromise.
"Fine, Mr. Gordan, we accept this mission," Liu Yun said slowly, his tone carrying a trace of reluctant concession.

I need you to investigate them, obtain a list of their names, and gather as much evidence of their crimes as possible."

Gordan smiled faintly, took an encrypted file from a drawer beside him, and transmitted it
