In front of the deep red desk, two well-equipped S-rank Soul Hunters, one on either side, surrounded Su Ming'an.
They appeared vigilant, their hands resting on the swords at their waists, seeming ready to draw their blades at any moment.
Behind the desk, Aelas lifted his gaze from a pile of documents. He rubbed his temples, his expression somewhat weary.
"Explain, S-rank Soul Hunter, Su Rin," Aelas's face had lost its usual affability.
His look toward Su Ming'an was now especially stern:
"Only the creator of the Barrier can dismantle it without causing damage. Are you the creator of the Barrier involved in this morning's incident?"
Su Ming'an didn't speak.
...He was not the creator of the Barrier.
It was likely due to Su Rin's special abilities that he had inexplicably dismantled the Barrier without harm.
"Thinking to meet my interrogation with silence?" Aelas stood up, a silver star on his shoulder gleaming with a layer of bright light.
