In the Virtual Universe, beside a small lake within a vast manor on Guchen Continent.
"You're the granduncle-master my teacher mentioned, Dongguan?"
Hearing the voice, Dongguan turned to look.
It was a fierce-looking, lean, bald young man. He wore a scaled battle robe, and his skin was bronze.
This was Yike of the Copperflame Race.
Behind him stood a burly man in black armor, with a lightning mark between his brows.
"Wow!" Before Dongguan could speak, Yike exclaimed in surprise, "You've already gained the recognition of an Origin Law while still a Domain Lord?"
Dongguan had not concealed the Light Mark between his brows, so it was indeed easy to spot.
"Inspector," Dongguan said, looking at Yike, "I'd like to ask what exactly this is about."
"No need to call me Inspector. Just call me Yike. We're at the same level, so I won't call you granduncle-master either. I'll call you Dongguan. How about that?" Yike waved a hand.
"All right." Dongguan nodded.
"Hello, Dongguan."
"Hello, Yike."
The two exchanged greetings again.
"As for the situation this time, Weiduo, play it," Yike instructed.
"Yes, Your Highness Yike." The burly man behind him answered, then took out a silver metal case.
After the silver metal case opened, it automatically assembled into a projector and projected an image above the lake.
The image showed a blond man with pointed ears and delicate features, dressed in lavish silver robes. At a glance, he clearly held a high position. "This man is named Mitchell Wades, a Peak World Lord, but that isn't the key point. What matters is that he worked in an important department of our Virtual Universe Company. Over his career of several hundred thousand years, he abused his authority for personal gain. He was exposed recently, but fled to escape punishment."
