"Name."
"Ai, Aidan..."
"Age."
"Two, twenty-three years old."
"Gender."
"... male"
What were you doing when the incident occurred?
In the dimly lit interrogation room, two policemen stared intently at the shy young man in front of them, his hands cuffed, their eyes filled with menacing pressure.
This young man, on the other hand, looked completely like a naive and inexperienced college graduate entering the workforce.
"Hmm..." Faced with the police officer's question, Aidan silently lowered her head and remained silent.
Tap... Tap... Tap...
The hour hand of the wall clock ticked away, its sound exceptionally clear at that moment.
Seeing that the other party remained silent, the two policemen frowned slightly, and one of them opened his pen, preparing to write down what was to come.
"At the time... I wanted to go in and use the restroom, but the security guard wouldn't let me because I really couldn't hold it in anymore, so I kept begging him..."
"Then suddenly I heard something fall down behind me, and while the security guard's attention was diverted, I went in to use the restroom..."
As he spoke, his voice grew softer and softer with guilt.
"No way? People were falling from the building back then, and you still had time to go to the bathroom?!"
The police suddenly raised their voices, startling Aidan.
"I almost pooped in my pants..."
"..."
The policeman coughed twice and continued speaking menacingly.
"Let me tell you, this is a very serious matter, and your actions are highly suspicious. Do you know how many years you'll get if you plead guilty?! At least ten years!"
The police deliberately stated the consequences in an attempt to intimidate the other party.
"But... what does it have to do with me, someone who lives on the first floor, if they fall from upstairs..."
Aidan said weakly.
You have the right to remain silent!!!
The police were genuinely surprised by Aidan's response.
Seeing Aidan's appearance, he assumed he was just a timid young man who had recently graduated from university and lacked social experience; he figured a little scare would make him confess.
Surprisingly, the other party's thinking was so clear.
At this moment, another policeman spoke up, "Don't worry, sir, if you're innocent, we naturally won't do anything to you."
The policeman's tone was extremely gentle, and he seemed very approachable.
"I'll ask you one more time, are you sure what you said is true?"
"Absolutely true!"
Aidan nodded sharply, then quickly looked away after meeting the other person's gaze.
The two policemen exchanged a glance and finally sighed.
"Alright, sir, you can go now. Thank you for your cooperation. Your family will take you home."
"Okay, sure."
Aidan quickly nodded to the group and hurried away.
He breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he stepped out, but when he saw someone from the police station, he almost choked to death.
All that could be seen was Hela, dressed in snow-white and petite, sitting on a bench in the police station, swinging her legs.
Upon seeing Aidan, he jumped up from his seat and arrived in just a few steps.
"Boss, boss..."
Aidan lowered her head nervously, not daring to look at Hela, like a child who had done something wrong.
Hela said nothing, but simply grabbed Aidan's sleeve and pulled her outside.
'Why do I suddenly feel like my husband committed a crime and I stormed off with someone else...'
As Hela pulled her along, Aidan couldn't help but think to herself, and then her face turned red.
Soon, Hela led him away from the police station.
"Yes, I'm sorry, boss."
He couldn't help but apologize as soon as he left Aidan, and Hela stopped and turned to look at him.
How did you get arrested?
When asked this question, Aidan lowered her head even further, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"Well, at the time... I was sleeping on the street when I suddenly noticed a car with a lot of powerful people inside. I was afraid you were in danger, so I quietly followed them."
"Then I saw them go into a building, and I saw you being pulled inside by a girl."
"I was about to go in too, but I was bumped into by the security guard who was changing shifts as soon as I walked over."
"I had no money and didn't make an appointment in advance, so I could only wander around the building, trying to figure out a way to get in."
"Later I heard fighting upstairs, but there were too many people around, so I didn't dare reveal my abilities for fear of causing trouble."
"A little while later, someone fell from the roof, and then the police arrived and handcuffed me, who had been at the scene the whole time, and took me away..."
Hela listened expressionlessly, and suddenly understood the feeling of being speechless.
Hela wreaked havoc upstairs, her actions filled with oppressive tension and terrifying fear, and she also obtained crucial intelligence.
As a result, her subordinate, who possessed the Human Limit fighting ability, was handcuffed by the police.
Well, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a disgrace to the Human Limit combat power.
"Sorry..."
Aidan bowed her head again to apologize, but Hela simply waved her hand dismissively, "It's alright, you're out now."
"Let's go, I'll tell you what happened while I'm at it."
Hela raised her hand and flagged down a taxi. "Miss, where are you going? Um?"
As soon as the taxi driver rolled down the window, Hela pulled him out of the car.
He then tossed Aidan into the car, climbed into the driver's seat, and sped away.
"Holy crap! This is blatant car theft!"
The taxi driver, watching the taxi drive away, stood there cursing loudly.
"So I'm going to Tuote now; he should have found the information I mentioned."
The taxi stopped in front of a building, and Hela opened the door, leading Aidan inside as she spoke.
"Oh... so we'll be going to steal the Tree of Terra soon, won't we...?"
Aidan followed Hela into the stairwell and whispered to herself.
"Yes, that's right."
"..."
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. Aidan stood quietly beside Hela with her head down, saying nothing.
"Boss..."
After an unknown amount of time, Aidan suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.
"Hmm, what's up?" Hela turned to him; it was quite rare for Aidan to initiate a conversation with her.
Aidan kept her eyes downcast. "How could I possibly know about the Light God Society's plans? What exactly are they trying to do...?"
"Destroy all of humanity."
Hela answered without hesitation.
Aidan's eyes trembled almost imperceptibly.
"Then... will I die too?"
"No, that won't happen." Hela shook her head firmly. "I won't kill my underlings, and if you don't want anyone to die, you can tell me."
"Does that mean everyone else will die?"
Hela blinked. "Members of Light God Society Light God Society and those who don't want to die won't die; everyone else will."
"Oh, I see. Thanks, boss..."
"Um."
Ding~
With a crisp beep, the elevator finally stopped at the thirteenth floor.
