Ethan pondered for a long time on the ship.

He wasn't thinking about Ainebez's words, but about his encounter in the sea today.

Why did Aphraea appear?

Is it because she's right here?

The pool that imprisoned her, is it in this sea?

How did she sense him?

Was it because he used the power of authority?

While he was pondering all this, a few people silently appeared on the shore.

Ethan was not unfamiliar with their attire, they were from the Kingdom Defense Bureau.

What are they doing here?

Even Ainebez had already been taken away.

"Mr. Ethan, please disembark, I'm afraid we'll have to ask you to come with us."

One of the men, who looked somewhat mature, said while smiling at Ethan with his hands in his pockets.

"Sorry, may I ask who you are?"

"I'm Johnny Court, captain of the first team of the third section from the Kingdom Defense Bureau Action Department, we need your cooperation for an investigation."

The man added another sentence.

"Do you need my people to help you down?"

Third section.

Joseph's nemesis.

Michelle, did he authorize this?

Ethan knew he might have some trouble, but he had sent Ainebez back, yet didn't expect to be targeted.

"Of course not, but can I at least make a call first? You know, I've been missing for quite a while, need to tell my family I'm safe."

Ethan stood up on the ship and asked.

"No worries, we'll inform your family, absolutely ensuring your safety."

As expected, this guy refused Ethan's request.

Seeing them glaring at him, Ethan raised both his hands.

"Alright, I'll leave it to you then."

Soon, Ethan was taken into their car.

Johnny Court sat with him in the back seat of the car.

Looking at the night view passing by the window, Johnny suddenly chuckled.

"Ethan, do you remember the name Albertine?"

Albertine?

Albertine Court.

The agent from the Prohibition Bureau who caused Ethan quite a bit of trouble.

"Seems like you remember, well, that's my brother."

After saying this, Johnny didn't speak further.

The car eventually arrived at the headquarters of the Kingdom Defense Bureau in the Royal Capital.

Kingdom Defense Bureau General Headquarters.

A mysterious building located in the Central District.

In such a prime location, it surprisingly owns a very independent territory.

The entire Kingdom Defense Bureau is very large, with a whole complex of buildings, nearby it's almost deserted, not far from the Royal Palace.

It indeed is, the sword of past kings.

Ethan was directly taken into one of the gray-white three-story buildings.

Without any prelude, it was straight to a dim interrogation room.

Fortunately, compared to Winster Security Office's interrogation room, it was at least clean and odorless, and Johnny seemed to be respectful to Ethan, not putting handcuffs on him, just letting him sit there.

But the question he asked right off was not friendly.

"Speak up, how did you collude with Johnny Blackbird to kidnap the Princess and assassinate the Eldest Prince?"

"What?"

Ethan almost laughed upon hearing this question.

Is it necessary to be this blatant?

"Did I not ask clearly enough? Haha, it's okay, I'll say it again, Ethan Polleta, right now, we have evidence proving you conspired with the thief Johnny Blackbird, kidnapped the Princess, attempted to assassinate the heir, with intentions to overthrow the Kingdom, you're a dignified person, I don't wish to be rough with you, confess yourself."

Johnny laughed more freely, but the two people beside him had already stood up.

Ethan sighed, how long has it been since he encountered such a situation?

He expanded his power madly back then to avoid such things.

Unexpectedly, time turned, and the same things found him again.

"I advise you not to do this, Captain Johnny."

Ethan couldn't help but sigh.

Why are there always people like this?

"Ethan, do you think I'm joking with you? Or do you think someone can save you? Joseph? He might be unable to protect himself now."

Johnny's smile finally showed its teeth, he laughed hard, with a sense of revenge.

"I'll give you one last chance."

Although he spoke so, his subordinates were already approaching Ethan.

While Ethan was contemplating whether to use 'True God's Name' to buy some time, the interrogation room door was knocked.

Someone was coming.

The knock made Johnny frown.

But he didn't show much and was about to ignore it and continue questioning.

"Johnny, open the door, it's me."

Unexpectedly, the person outside spoke directly, the voice actually penetrated inside.

This interrogation room's soundproofing is good, to transmit sound without obstruction like this, the person must be strong.

Ethan also immediately remembered the owner of this voice.

It's unexpected, it was him.

Johnny, hearing this voice, had to stand up and open the door.

At the moment he opened the door, he even bowed to the person outside, respectfully saying: "Lord Heisenberg, why are you here?"

"Give him to me."

Standing outside was Ethan's old acquaintance, Heisenberg, who once fought alongside him in Winster.

"Sir... this person is suspected of treason..."

"Give him to me, didn't you understand?"

Heisenberg, after all, is the eagle of the Defense Bureau, his speech has an undeniable aura.

Johnny's smile finally disappeared, he stiffened, took a deep breath, and then stepped aside.

"Ethan, come out."

"Watch your tone, Ethan is a famous artist, be polite, don't let others think our Kingdom Defense Bureau is a bunch of barbarians."

Heisenberg gave a stern rebuke.

Johnny took a deep breath and nodded: "Respected Mr. Ethan, we apologize for our previous actions, please forgive us, now, please follow Lord Heisenberg and leave."

Ethan finally stood up from the chair, moving his wrists.

Passing by Johnny, Ethan shook his head at him.

"Luckily, you didn't do anything to me, otherwise, I can't guarantee what I'd tell the reporters."

"Take care."

He squeezed these words out almost through clenched teeth.

However, Ethan ultimately didn't leave.

He was taken by Heisenberg to another room, though not an interrogation room, it didn't seem to be a resting place either.

"Thanks, Heisenberg, I didn't expect you to come."

In fact, on the way, Ethan sent a faint message to Anya, asking her to immediately find Ainebez to save him.

As a result, Heisenberg was the first to arrive.

"Don't thank me yet, I just happened to return and heard about this, but I can only ensure you're not tortured, I can't get you out, this issue isn't as simple as you think, Ethan."
