Chapter 91: Chapter 91
The Law Enforcement Department chief hiding behind the Security Department, upon hearing Loren's question, wiped the sweat from his brow and glanced at the Security Department's commander.
The questioning look in his eyes was obvious: big boss from Security, what do we do? Our Law Enforcement Department answers to you.
As a veteran operative of the Security Department, the commander’s expression was remarkably calm in the face of this prickly problem.
He walked slowly up to the Law Enforcement chief, patted the man's shoulder in a friendly manner, leaned close to his ear, and whispered:
"Why are you asking me? This is the Energy Department's business. Go ask that Davis fellow, he knows what to do."
With that, he returned to his original position as if nothing had happened.
People who have undergone rigorous training have different psychological bearings — even passing the blame is done with an air of effortless composure. The Law Enforcement chief inwardly marveled at that.
Having received the cue, he squeezed out from among the Security personnel.
He ran toward Davis, actually jogging, as if afraid that if he moved too slowly the problem would fall back to the Law Enforcement Department to handle.
Davis Feller's face visibly darkened.
Damn Security and Law Enforcement, still shirking responsibility!!!
Who wants to deal with this dangerous madman!!!
In the end, Davis Feller considered the situation on the ground.
All the people here combined might not be able to beat this madman.
Then he factored in the other's identity as a God's Favored One.
A God's Favored One can represent the attitude of the god behind them, and the god's stance equals the entire Nature Sect's stance.
So he made a decision that was rational and sensible.
He intended to declare Loren's actions legal on the spot, get through this immediate crisis first, and report the matter later.
Let the Energy Department's higher-ups worry about this. He's just a section chief — why should he bother...
Besides, Davis strongly suspected that if he declared Loren guilty right now, the madman might slaughter everyone present.
After all, the madman's combat state had not been deactivated...
The black wings still spread behind him, and the powerful revolver remained gripped in his hand.
Davis had seen Loren's usual demeanor. Smart as he was, he naturally understood what it meant that the other had not relaxed his battle state.
If negotiations collapsed, the man was ready to unleash slaughter.
So when the Law Enforcement chief jogged up to him, Davis cleared his throat and said solemnly to everyone present:
"Of course, Mr. Las Loren's actions are lawful."
"Just now you all saw the three major families' spatial storage device. By the way, how many Spirit Stones were stored inside?"
Saying this, Davis turned to ask Loren.
Loren silently produced three spatial bracelets from his chest and shifted his spiritual energy.
A large pile of blue-glowing Spirit Stones appeared on the ground — exactly forty thousand.
There was no more objective evidence than this.
Davis glanced at the Spirit Stones on the floor, nodded, and inwardly thought: They had Spirit Stones and refused to pay this madman — serves you right if you get killed.
Then Davis Feller announced on the spot:
"Forty thousand Spirit Stones and refusal to pay — this is clearly malicious debt evasion. Under the Superhuman Administration Regulations, Mr. Loren's actions are lawful!"
When Davis Feller finished speaking, everyone present except Loren breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone understood what would have happened if Loren had been declared guilty tonight.
Being alive feels wonderful...
"Raven, look — someone is even more eager than I am to prove my innocence."
Seeing the situation settle, Loren muttered in his mind.
Raven: "......Don't make noise. I'm thinking."
Raven didn't respond directly to Loren, instead pondering another important matter.
He sensed a change in his master tonight.
In his memory, his master had been crazy and extreme before, but still retained reason.
After tonight's advancement, Raven felt that part of his master's reason had slipped away.
For the sake of fun, he brazenly put himself into the sights of the Energy Department and Security Department.
This was unlike his master's previous methods.
"With the acquisition of an overwhelmingly powerful sixth ability, what is the cost?" Raven asked himself.
"Why did my master's wisdom get passed to me during his advancement?" Raven asked himself another question.
Raven felt his own "wisdom" increase a bit.
After confirming that he was "innocent," Loren clearly showed no surprise.
For an Interstellar Hunter who had often wanted to pull a big score, memorizing the Superhuman Administration Regulations was very important.
When doing high-risk things, knowing your opponents is common sense.
Declared "not guilty," Loren calmly crouched, placed his hand on the pile of Spirit Stones on the ground, used his spiritual energy, and transferred all the Spirit Stones into the Crimson Tear.
At this moment, that spatial storage device already held eighty-three thousand Spirit Stones — clearly a fortune to Loren.
Gambling really wasn't as fast as pulling a single big score...
Loren's urge to pull off a job surged to a peak again.
After pocketing the floor's Spirit Stones, Loren walked silently to the members of the Casino Board of Trustees.
Loren's actions had evidently made the Board members extremely tense.
But Loren, who had just gained a fortune, did nothing outrageous.
In a good mood, he simply opened his palm, activated his spiritual energy again, and the 28,000 points in chips reappeared in his hand.
"I have already cashed out the chips; these chips should be returned to you." Loren said with a smile.
The young man wearing gloves tensed up, staring at Loren's seemingly genial smile.
He felt a reluctance to take the chips...
Clearly Loren's strange methods unnerved this young Seventh-Tier Superhuman.
He was not completely certain that if he took the chips, he wouldn't suddenly die in some bizarre instant.
"When facing a madman, don't judge their behavior by ordinary logic." That thought flashed through his mind.
The casino people behind him were thinking the same thing, all silently praying that the young man would not accept those chips.
"Aren't you accepting them?" Loren asked, puzzled at the other's sudden daze.
I'm genuinely returning your property — opportunities are rare; it's a shame they won't be cherished...
Seeing Loren's look of regret, the young man in gloves panicked inexplicably.
Driven by self-preservation, his brain raced to find a solution.
In a flash of intuition, a gleam of cleverness crossed his eyes.
"Sir, your chips have not been cashed out. What you just obtained was the three major families' compensation to you — compensation for being wrongfully dragged into the skirmish."
"So, I think we can go to the three major families' residence and get these chips exchanged."
"Coincidentally, our Board of Trustees, and the Energy Department, Security Department, and Law Enforcement Department over there, are all going to see them to discuss compensation matters."
For the safety of ourselves and others, let's make the three major families suffer a bit more...
The young man from the Casino Board of Trustees thought this to himself.
