A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 896 The Reason for Personally Taking Action

Seeing Tsuchimikado Motoharu standing subtly beside Lin Wuming, the Knight Commander suppressed his anger—the demonic sword had been drawn but failed to achieve its purpose, which displeased him; what annoyed him even more was the cunning Tsuchimikado Motoharu…

In fact, if it weren't for the considerable pressure exerted on him by Lin Wuming and Misaki Shokuhou, both Level 5s, the Knight Commander might not have been willing to give Tsuchimikado Motoharu another chance, given how things had developed.

"I'll take you to see Kanzaki-san, and I'll take you to find those knights," Tsuchimikado Motoharu said quickly, sensing the anger on the other side. "So put your sword away first, Commander. As a leader of a faction, you didn't come here to invite new enemies for Britain, did you?"

Although knights are inherently arrogant, the leader of the knights is undoubtedly more calm and has a better grasp of the big picture.

Without a doubt, the Knights Commander was unwilling to harm the interests of the nation because of his own willfulness.

Having been struck in a vital spot, the Knight Commander took a deep breath, finally suppressing his fighting spirit, and returned the demonic sword "Frentine" to the shadow beneath his feet.

Seeing this, Lin Wuming also opened his palm, and the small steel balls swirling around him fell into his hand.

Junko Homikaze comforted the injured Fei, preventing her from continuing her commotion and disrupting the "important business" on the other side. Looking at the entire Zhengege incident, this innocent flying dragon seems to be the only victim…

The knight commander was somewhat embarrassed by the situation and could only say, "The attack just now was a misunderstanding. I will compensate for the medical expenses."

Misaki Shokuhou was still somewhat indignant about this, but considering the current situation, she decided to prioritize the overall picture and not pursue the matter further. Instead, she handed over the authority to deal with it to Lin Wuming.

But Lin Wuming was unwilling to give up so easily—he didn't know before, and only just learned that Xiaofei was shot down while carrying Misaki Shokuhou and Junko Hokaze on his back!
Thanks to Junko Hokaze's capable "bodyguard," otherwise, the outcome would have been dire.

This time, the Knight Commander's arbitrarily attacking actions without warning could no longer be tolerated.

It should be noted that Lin Wuming himself is always cautious in his words and actions in Academy City, and he will not attack anything except in open parks and lakesides.

The Knight Commander, upon arriving on someone else's territory, still acted with such recklessness and arrogance—such an attitude…

Tsuchimikado Motoharu, who was observing the conversation between the two, noticed Lin Wuming's expression and immediately knew that something was wrong.

It can only be said that there are wrong names, but no wrong nicknames—the saying "Nameless Director" actually makes some sense.

—Lin Wuming was originally inclined towards the Lawful camp, and now that he has been won over by Aleister, he is even more subconsciously maintaining the order of Academy City!
Now, coupled with the fact that someone he cares about is in danger... this misunderstanding is probably going to be very difficult to resolve!
Putting himself in Lin Wuming's shoes, Motoharu Tsuchimikado could understand him quite well—maintaining order in Academy City was certainly the right thing to do, and he was in fact working hard for it himself; otherwise, why would he have bothered to be a multi-faceted spy?

Protecting those he values ​​is a matter of course for Tsuchimikado Motoharu. If the Knight Commander hadn't suddenly mentioned his family, Tsuchimikado Motoharu wouldn't have acted impulsively and lost control, choosing to rebel and flee.

However, precisely because it is essential to maintain peace and order in Academy City, Tsuchimikado Motoharu must now stop Lin Wuming's rampage and prevent him from continuing to entangle himself in this matter...

"This is so unfair!" Tsuchimikado Motoharu suddenly complained loudly, "The difference in treatment is too great!"

While shouting, Tsuchimikado Motoharu boldly approached the Knight Commander until he was right in front of him.

He then slightly lowered his sunglasses and winked at him. "What are you complaining about, Tsuchimikado?" the Knight Commander continued the conversation.

"What else could it be, Commander? You're apologizing and offering apologies now, but just now when you were with me, all you did was threaten and coerce me, and you even tried to kill me, didn't you?"

Tsuchimikado Motoharu's words were merciless, even sarcastic.

This time, however, the Knights Commander did not get angry. Instead, he patiently explained, "So you saw it as a threat? But it was just a proper warning. After all, you yourself admitted that you are a multi-faceted spy—do you expect me to give you my complete trust?"

If it weren't for wanting to find Kanzaki Kaori and his men as soon as possible, the Knight Commander wouldn't have bothered to come looking for Tsuchimikado Motoharu.

"..." Tsuchimikado Motoharu took two steps back and fell silent.

The truth is the most hurtful. Although he did not shy away from his identity as a "multi-faceted spy," and almost everyone who knew him knew this "secret," it was still somewhat embarrassing to be pointed out by the other side at this time.

Tsuchimikado Motoharu was very self-aware, so he knew the Knights Commander's thoughts and attitude... and there really wasn't a problem.

Even Tsuchimikado Motoharu himself wouldn't trust a "multi-faceted spy" like himself!
The Knight Commander then added, "However, now that Mr. Lin Wuming has vouched for you, we can at least trust you in this matter."

"How realistic. In the end, it's still all about strength," Tsuchimikado Motoharu remarked.

The Knights Commander, however, didn't seem to care: "What's the problem? Our Knights are an organization that values ​​strength above all else. Blame it on your current weakness."

Lin Wuming watched the two of them working together, missing his chance to speak.

If they then tried to confront him further, they would have lost much of their momentum.

Tsuchimikado Motoharu then turned to Lin Wuming and said with a forced smile, "I'm sorry, this misunderstanding is partly my fault... As you can see, we are all on the same side, but because of poor communication, this pointless internal strife has occurred."

Lin Wuming sighed and raised his hand to stop Tsuchimikado Motoharu from speaking further: "That's enough, no need to say any more. Since you're willing to compensate, let's just consider this incident a misunderstanding..."

“However,” Lin Wuming changed the subject, looking at the Knights Commander and asking, “as a leader of a faction, why have you come here in person? As I just said, poor communication can cause a lot of misunderstandings, so I hope you can explain your true purpose.”

This is also what Lin Wuming cares about. England is divided into three factions. In theory, the Knight Commander and Laura, the High Priestess of Puritanism, are equals—both are leaders of their respective factions.

It's really unreasonable to skip over the various levels of officers and cadres and have the Knights Commander personally take charge...

This deviates far too much from the original plot; and more importantly, when Misaki Shokuhou activated "Mental Control" just now, I vaguely glimpsed some intriguing clues...
