The noise of the discussion abruptly silenced.

Right, the Leader has been staying on the island for several days now.

Swapping in anyone with a normal mind, they’d never do this, let alone a Great Detective!

“You do have a point there.”

“I definitely trust the Island Master, but it’s strange how these rumors got out.”

Since Wu Heng beca the Island Master, the changes on Gold and Silver Island have been clear for all to see.

He truly transford the lives of everyone on the island, so when locals talk about the Island Master, their words are filled with pride.

As if it were they themselves who built the island into what it has beco.

Naturally, they are reluctant to believe there are really any problems on the island.

But people are always suspicious, and when such a large-scale rumor spreads, it also causes them to doubt whether there’s an elent of truth to it.

…

Inside the Church’s grand hall.

Archbishop ‘You An’ sat behind a desk, with a group of local clergy before him.

A Priest stepped forward, indignation in his voice: “Archbishop, the whole island is abuzz with talk of a Necromancy experint base, and with the sightings of strange Skeletons, we can be certain he’s conducting Necromancy experints in secret.”

Soone else chid in, “Necromancers are by nature an evil profession. Prolonged research in this field will darken his heart further, disregard life, and he should be detained imdiately.”

“And then there’s the incident from last ti; our n are still locked up in the dungeons.”

“The local Steward is utterly weak and incompetent, actually fraternizing with a Necromancer. She must also be held accountable after the fact.”

The hall was in disarray, everyone expressing their dissatisfaction with the Island Master and the local Steward.

At this mont, the door opened, and an Attendant hurried in, whispering into the Archbishop’s ear.

As the other spoke, a pleased expression began to erge on the Archbishop’s face.

After the conversation, the Attendant stepped aside.

The wooden staff in the Archbishop’s hand tapped the floor twice gently, and the hall instantly fell silent.

Scanning over everyone, a smile appeared on his face as he said, “The Church fleet has arrived. Follow to the harbor to welco them, and tell those who remained in the Church that they can co out now.”

Everyone displayed a look of joy and nodded in response.

Before leaving, the Archbishop added, “Oh right, ring the bell!”

Dong~!

The sound of the bell resonated, spreading imdiately.

…

At the Island Lord’s Mansion.

Wu Heng was on the phone, Mackintosh’s voice transmitted from the other end, “My Lord, we’ve investigated thoroughly. It was a harbor worker gang that spread the rumors, soone paid them to disseminate the information, we’re tracking down the person who posted the commission.”

This morning, rumors about the Necromancy experint base began circulating on the island.

Wu Heng had already heard so of the news.

In fact, he didn’t need to look into it to know, emphasizing the Necromancy experints was definitely laying the groundwork for the Holy Court’s Investigation Team.

“No need to investigate further, detain the managent of that labor gang,” Wu Heng said directly.

“Understood,” Mackintosh responded and then fell into a brief silence before continuing, “My Lord, a Church fleet has appeared at sea, a total of five large ships.”

As expected, as soon as the Necromancy experints rumor spread on the island, the Church’s fleet followed closely behind.

“I’m aware. I will arrange for soone to deal with them,” Wu Heng replied directly.

“Very well, my Lord,” Mackintosh paused, then added, “Please be careful, sir.”

“Mm, don’t worry.”

After hanging up the phone, Wu Heng leaned against the edge of a desk, his eyes slightly narrowed as he opened his panel.

[Reputation: Level 19 (65642/66000).]

Only a little over 300 reputation points to go.

Almost there.

Wondering if the Church’s hero is on the fleet.

If not.

If I can stall them for a few days, then I’ll almost be considered a hero.

…

At the Association.

The room where the Church Knight was detained seed like a standalone resting chamber.

The room was tidy, with only one guard standing watch by the door.

It was more like keeping an eye from afar than guarding, as a Level 18 Knight on the entire island could only be stopped by Wu Heng.

Inside the room, the Church Knight lay in civilian clothes on the bed, eyes closed in ditation.

Suddenly, his eyes snapped open at the sight of a sparrow perched on the window.

Then, it spoke in human tongue, “Sir, the Holy Hall Investigation Team has arrived; Archbishop has instructed you to handle matters here and then proceed to the harbor to welco the fleet.”

“`

Having said that, the sparrow, as if losing its spirit,

Uttered a couple of chirps with a puzzled look, then flew towards a distant tree.

Watching the departing sparrow, a smile appeared on the Church Knight’s face.

The Investigation Team has arrived.

The days were numbered for Gold and Silver Island and Wu Heng.

After a brief pack up, he stepped out directly.

Heading towards the distant dungeon.

…

At the dungeon entrance.

The guarding guard suddenly stood up, warily watching the burly man who appeared out of nowhere.

After recognizing the face carefully, his expression grew even uglier.

A Church Knight, who was imprisoned a few days ago for attacking the Island Master.

How did he get here?

Both guards swallowed hard and saluted, “Sir Knight.”

The Church Knight nodded in satisfaction, “This knight has just recalled so details that require questioning the prisoners. During this ti, no one is allowed to approach, or they will be equally charged.”

Having said that, he went straight inside.

The two guards exchanged glances, and one of them hurriedly ran outside.

They couldn’t handle this matter.

They had to notify the Steward imdiately.

No, they must inform the Island Master.

Only the Island Master could stop him.

…

The Church Knight covered his mouth and nose, walking through the dungeon corridors.

After covering so distance,

He stopped in front of a cell door, applied a little force, and the door opened; he walked straight in.

Glancing over the room and the disheveled man on the iron bed, he said with a smile, “You seem to be quite adaptable to the environnt.”

Fear flashed in the disheveled man’s eyes; after swallowing saliva, he struggled to get up. “Sir, what are your orders?”

“I ca to see what kind of person dares to slander a mber of the Church.”

The disheveled man shivered and took half a step back, “Sir, I have nothing to do with this matter, I just spoke what I knew. If there’s anything you are unsatisfied with, I will change it. Please don’t hold accountable.”

The Church Knight stepped forward two paces.

The disheveled man’s face drastically changed and he shouted towards the outside: “Guard, where’s the guard?”

“You should indeed thank Wu Heng; at least he allowed you to live a few more days.” As he spoke, the Church Knight took out a hemp rope, flicked his wrist, and looped it around his neck, tightening it gradually, “Colluding with the Necromancer, trafficking people for experints, discovered by the Church, committing suicide by hanging. How do you find this script?”

“Tell , do you think the Great Detective will avenge you?”

The disheveled man struggled violently, but the difference in level made all his efforts futile to break free.

Then, his eyes bulged, and his tongue slowly protruded.

In the final monts of his life, his past rapidly flashed through his mind over and over.

Soon after, he left the dungeon.

The generous Island Master gave him a large sum of money, and Mrs. McIntosh praised him for completing a daunting task.

With the money in hand, he headed towards his ho.

The road he had walked countless tis felt especially long today.

Bang bang bang~!

He knocked on the door forcefully.

The door opened, and the man straightened his hair, revealing a smile, “I have money now. I said we could live a better life…”

The body stopped struggling.

The Church Knight released a spell and pulled out a confession letter from his bosom, stuffing it into the corpse’s chest.

…

After an unknown amount of ti, a loud bang broke the silence.

Xi Ligui, in full armor, clutching a longsword, charged into the dungeon.

Behind her followed two Vice-executives, a team of squad mbers, an Investigator, and the assistant Shi Yali.

The Investigator trailed at the end, gasping for breath due to his civilian job, leaning on the wall with breaths like thunder.

As several people entered the cell, their expressions changed.

A body was hanging in the dimly lit room.

Xi Ligui took a deep breath and said coldly, “Investigator, record everything truthfully! Church Knight forcibly entered the syndicate prison and after his departure, the witness died.”
