Only less than twenty minutes.
Everyone in the private room on the second floor saw through the glass wall that two men and women wearing uniforms with green labels on a white background came hand in hand, walked straight to the side of the venue, and looked around as if they were searching for someone.
Most of the gentlemen and ladies in the audience focused on the second game that was going on. Only a few spectators who were closer recognized the uniforms worn by the two people and what the uniforms represented.
Their expressions changed slightly, and they didn't know why these two people appeared here.
'Purification Squad!'
Gilan's eyes narrowed.
He glanced at Kordel without trace.
'Yes, this guy is the second son of the Propaganda Department's eldest son Staven, and Purification Department is the department led by Staven. He has every reason and qualification to contact Purification Department directly and report it.'
Downstairs, there was some commotion in the seats next to the venue.
Just because the two Purification team members found Ewan.
The tired-looking middle-aged man, who had taken off his sunglasses and was wiping his sweat to rest, was suddenly shocked when he saw the two of them.
Soon, after the two showed their IDs and exchanged a few words of indifference, Ewan was taken away from the auditorium with a gloomy expression, and then walked out of the hall together.
This scene was all seen by all the young people in the box.
Everyone then lost interest in watching the game and instead discussed whether Mr. Ewan really had an affair with the devil and what would be his fate.
Fortunately, they were not kept waiting too long.
Tuk Tuk.
There was a knock on the box door.
Kordel opened the door, and a middle-aged man wearing a white trench coat with a green label and a white beret stood outside the door.
He has plain features but a serious expression.
Seeing Kordel, this man's expression eased.
"Mr. Kordel, after preliminary inspection and interrogation, Ewan Bullock was confirmed to be a sorcerer... We also found a contract brand on the back of his hand."
The middle-aged man glanced at the people in the box and recognized that these young people were all the rich and powerful children of the upper class circles in the capital, so he did not hide it and said in a deep voice.
"This matter will be fully taken over by the Purification Department, and your report is very important. I will inform the minister of this matter, and you will also receive the recognition you deserve."
"That's it." Kordel couldn't help but smile when he heard this. "Thank you for your hard work."
Originally it was just a casual try, but unexpectedly I actually caught a fish.
There aren't many opportunities to show off to his father, but this time he did, and he couldn't help but be happy. The limelight can't always be taken away by the eldest brother in the family, Kordel also wants to be noticed by his father.
"Mr. Ewan, what are you going to do?"
Kordel asked.
The middle-aged man in uniform thought for a while and replied:
"It needs more in-depth interrogation to confirm. However, even if Ewan Bullock did not use the mysterious power to do evil, according to the terms of the empire's 'Blasphemy Decree' and 'Secret Decree', he will be sentenced to at least 50 years in prison."
Everyone in the box was shocked.
I didn't expect that Mr. Ewan was really the so-called "magician"!
Moreover, he will also be imprisoned by the Purification Department for 50 years, or even longer!
This was the first time they encountered such a thing. They felt novel and secretly lamented the harsh laws of the empire.
Thinking to themselves, everyone couldn't help but glance at the young man in black coat on the sofa. Since ordinary people can't see the devil, how did he determine the identity of Mr. Ewan as a magician?
"Sir." Prince stepped forward and smiled at the middle-aged man in uniform, "Kordel is not entirely responsible for this matter. My brother was the one who discovered that there was something fishy about Ewan."
"Huh? Are you..." The middle-aged man in uniform was startled. "Mr. Prince from House Fahan?"
"It's me." Prince nodded.
"What about your brother?" The middle-aged man in uniform frowned.
According to his understanding, Prince is the eldest son of the House Fahan clan, so where did he get his elder brother?
Prince chuckled and explained briefly.
He has no good intentions and wants to take credit for Gilan.
I just don't like Kordel's arrogance, and I want to trick that country bumpkin brother. Since ordinary people can't see the devil, we want to see how he explains it?
It's best to take him to the Purification Department for interrogation.
After some explanation by Prince, the middle-aged man in uniform looked astonished.
It turns out to be the illegitimate son of Lord Ramon.
This fact is all too common. In upper-class circles, not only men have affairs, but it is not uncommon for ladies to have affairs, let alone have illegitimate children.
He wasn't surprised by this.
Following the gazes of the young people and the direction of Prince's fingers, the investigation leader of the Purification Department saw the young man in black coat on the sofa.
"Mr. Gilan?" the middle-aged man said. "How did you find out the identity of Ewan·Bullock as a magician?"
The tone of his inquiry was calm and not aggressive.
After all, even if the other party is an illegitimate child, he still belongs to the nobility of the empire, and he is also a noble of the earl family, so the respect he deserves is still indispensable.
"I saw the devil around him."
Gilan sat on the sofa, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said calmly.
"It's that simple."
"Huh?" The middle-aged man in uniform was startled.
He nodded thoughtfully, and his tone became more respectful:
"That's it. It seems that Mr. Gilan is born Gnosis to be extraordinary."
After finishing speaking, he added:
"Thank you very much for your discovery, which has reduced a lot of burden for our department. I will also report this matter, and your commendation will be sent to Fahan Count's Estate by a dedicated person."
"As you wish." Gilan waved his hand.
The middle-aged man in uniform took off his beret, crossed his arms and saluted him, and then saluted Kordel, the second son of his immediate boss.
Immediately, he said goodbye and left.
"Just... just leave like that?" Prince opened his mouth slightly.
He was still thinking about watching the country bumpkin brother be kidnapped. Why didn't the script work that way?
Gilan glanced at this guy and sneered in his heart.
This idiot is always trying to trip him up. It seems that the lesson learned last time was not enough. As for Prince deliberately bringing "hatred" to him, he doesn't care at all.
Explanation?
What explanation do you want?
Is Gnosis highly illegal?
This group of powerful children have no understanding of the mysterious realm.
Don't say that Purification Department couldn't find any flaws in him. Even if he found some clues, as long as there is no conclusive evidence, don't even think about touching him.
As for extorting a confession through torture, it is even more impossible.
He is no longer the low-class boy with no background in the past, but a noble young master of the Earl's family. Although he has never liked this status, it is sometimes so useful.
Duh.
Gilan put down the teacup and walked up to Prince without saying a word.
"You, what do you want to do?"
The guy's expression changed and he took a step back unconsciously.
Thinking of the previous experience of being beaten, and the way the other person pulled out a gun on the dining table and wanted to kill him after a disagreement, Prince suddenly felt chills stand on end.
He was afraid that the elder brother would go crazy again and beat him in front of so many people. Then he would really have no shame in going out again.
"Thank you for taking credit for me, Prince."
Gilan put his hand on his younger brother's shoulder, and the latter trembled.
"Well done... but don't do it again next time, okay?"
Although he said it with a smile, Prince saw a pair of extremely cold eyes on his face.
Prince felt the chill was coming, and unconsciously lowered his attitude, saying with inexplicable fear:
"I know, I know, brother."
