Fang Ze remained silent.
The man continued to ask, "After you became a noble, what ability did you acquire? Can this be disclosed?"
"After became a noble, did you news with anyone else?"
Fang Ze, possibly annoyed beyond endurance, opened his eyes abruptly and coldly stared at him, saying, "You might as well save your efforts."
"I am not an ignoramus. Nobles enjoy special privileges during detention and interrogation, and only the Noble Court of the Nine Major Jurisdictions has the authority to judge and punish."
"I repeat the same statement. Let someone from the Noble Court's investigative department come."
"I refuse to accept any inquiries from other departments."
Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, the Black Clothed investigator tensed up visibly. He chuckled awkwardly, then got up and left the conference room with a brooding expression, clearly going to consult his superiors.
Watching him leave indifferently, Fang Ze closed his eyes again and continued to silently wait...
Meanwhile, in Fang Ze's office,
Jun, carrying petals, stealthily slipped out of the slightly ajar door and shadowed his way to Bai Zhi's office.
As the office was a sealed space, isolated from the prying of Disaster Creatures and special artifacts, he had to physically go there and then knocked heavily on the door under the puzzled gazes of several commissioners!
Bai Zhi's voice came from inside, "Who is it?"
Jun said, "Director Bai, I am a friend of Mei!"
Upon hearing Jun's words, Bai Zhi inside was startled at first: A friend of Mei?
Immediately afterward, she looked at her shadow, recalling that Mei was Fang Ze's Shadow Warrior.
So, the person outside the door could be Fang Ze's Shadow Warrior too?
And thinking that Fang Ze himself didn't come but sent a Shadow Warrior instead, using such a covert title, she suddenly guessed that something might have happened to Fang Ze!
With that thought, she hurriedly got up and went to the door of the office and opened it.
Outside the door indeed stood a Shadow Warrior.
Bai Zhi nodded and said, "Mei sent you?"
Understanding that Bai Zhi got his meaning, Jun quickly nodded, "Yes. He said there is important information to relay."
Bai Zhi stepped aside to let Jun into the office, then closed the door.
Meanwhile, outside the office, the commissioners who saw Jun appear blinked: Mei? Who's that? Probably someone from Director Bai's family, right?
Thinking thus, they shook their heads and didn't dwell on it.
At that moment, inside the office, Mei emerged from Bai Zhi's shadow to confirm Jun's identity, and then Jun started to talk to Bai Zhi about the situation.
When Bai Zhi heard that Special Service Department's internal affairs had taken Fang Ze away for investigation, her pretty eyebrows involuntarily locked in a frown.
The Special Service Department sounded respectable but was actually in opposition to the Security Bureau, specially tasked with handling external special affairs.
This department had more power than the Security Bureau. It not only had the authority to oversee battles in the Spirit Realm externally but also possessed various investigative powers internally. It could freely investigate any department's commissioners or chiefs if there was any suspicion related to Demigod infiltration.
It served as a combination of monitoring plus espionage and counter-espionage roles.
Having such a department show up was not a good thing.
After a moment, she slowly asked, "Then what does Fang Ze expect me to do?"
Jun told Bai Zhi, "The master said he wants you to communicate with Lady Jin. Just ask one question."
Bai Zhi, "What question?"
Jun, with a serious expression, said, "Can his identity be exposed? Would there be any issue if it were? If it's going to cause significant trouble, can he pretend to be a new noble?"
Hearing Jun's words, Bai Zhi's mind almost couldn't wrap around it!
She had just listened to Jun about the Special Service Department investigating the relationship between Fang Ze and the Demigod, and whether Fang Ze was a new noble, her first reaction was absurd!
Fang Ze was someone she watched grow up. He had high talent, great potential, nothing to do with Demigods! Nor was he some new noble!
But now, hearing Jun speak , did Fang Ze have some other hidden identity?
And this hidden identity, unknown to her, yet her aunt was aware of it?
And... he could even pretend to be a new noble?!
This was all so muddled!
Bai Zhi felt overwhelmed by the flood of information for a moment.
She hesitated for a while, then finally spoke, "But even if I get the answer, there's no way to notify your master, right?"
The investigative department would certainly not allow him external contact. There would undoubtedly be someone watching him, possibly even a Law Prohibition enacted, rendering his Awakening Ability ineffective.
Jun slowly said again, "The master said. If you just go to sleep on time at night, you will certainly meet him."
Hearing Jun's words, Bai Zhi blinked, her face full of confusion.
She couldn't help recalling the time when Fang Ze was detained on the Sky Mother Ship and had met with her. Back then she thought that Fang Ze had not been prevented from using his abilities.
Now it seemed... Fang Ze possessed the ability to circumvent Law Prohibition?
For a moment, Bai Zhi felt there were even more secrets about Fang Ze.
What in the world was the secret between him and her aunt? What secrets did he possess?
Although she suddenly felt as if she didn't really know Fang Ze, because of her trust in him, Bai Zhi solemnly nodded and agreed to this request!
The Special Service Department was considered the most vigilant existence among all formal departments, especially since their attire of Black Clothed resembled that of death incarnate.
