A Reasonable Explanation

Officer Abel nodded slightly at the bodyguard and asked, "Are two women named Xu Yunyun and Su Fei visiting the Marquis' manor?"

The bodyguard nodded, "Su Fei is the niece of the second young mistress of our family, and Xu Yunyun is Su Fei's relative. Earlier today, Miss Su Fei arrived in Luntan with Miss Xu Yunyun for a vacation. Is Officer Abel asking this because Miss Su Fei and the others reported a case?"

After getting the confirmation he needed, there was no need for Abel to worry about sparing the bodyguard's dignity anymore.

He did not want to offend the Marquis­—but he especially did not want to offend Duke Eton. He was the dearest brother of Empress Sophie and the richest man in Luntan. He was someone who could do whatever he wanted.

Abel waved to some officers behind him and said, "Surround this place immediately! Don't let anyone leave. Everyone else, follow me!"
