Zhang Cheng had wanted to find Ye Tian and comfort him, but by the time he looked toward the other side of the arena, Ye Tian was already gone.
To celebrate Zhang Cheng winning the National Tournament, the president and instructors of Modu University held a victory banquet for him.
They chose the most luxurious five-star hotel in Kyoto as the venue.
Meanwhile, at Kyoto University's lodgings, two League law enforcement officers arrived at the door.
"We're law enforcement officers with the League. Is Ye Tian here? We need to speak with him about an investigation," one of the officers said, showing his credentials.
Lu Luan was the one who answered the door. Seeing the officers gave him an uneasy feeling, but they were League officials, so he could hardly stop them.
With Lu Luan leading the way, the three of them entered the hall where Ye Tian was staying.
"You're Ye Tian?" The two officers stepped forward and immediately restrained him.
"What is the meaning of this? You're taking my student away right in front of us. At the very least, you owe us an explanation!" Xiao Lie, the instructor leading the team, stepped forward and said.
"We can't disclose that. We're acting on orders. If you don't stand aside, we'll charge you with obstructing justice," one of the officers threatened, invoking their authority.
"You...!" Xiao Lie spluttered in anger at the threat, but there was little he could do. Even as a Champion-level Trainer, he did not dare challenge the League's authority.
"Hmph!" The officer snorted and led the silent Ye Tian away.
"You work pretty fast. You've already found out about Aegislash?" Ye Tian asked the officers with a smile halfway to the League Security Bureau.
"Are you confessing without being asked, kid?" an officer said coldly.
