My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

Despite possessing such a strong aura of the Snow White Clan, isn't he one of the Eight Guardians? Moreover, judging from the veteran Night Patrol elites around him, they seem to have no idea who he is.

So who exactly is this person?!

At this moment, under the puzzled gazes of her teammates, Bingfei bit her water lily-colored cuff with some difficulty, then waved her hand with great hesitation: "Take all these people from the Starry Sky Merchant Guild away first, and then question them all after Lord Dongjue wakes up."

To be honest, over the years, this is probably the only case of someone daring to openly and seriously injure a direct guard in the heart of the royal city and then escape unscathed.

Upon hearing the order given by Ice Queen, the Night Patrol members, who were already extremely dissatisfied with the way the Little Sword Saint and the Lunette family acted, all felt a tightness in their chests and a sense of suffocation.

There was nothing I could do.

The strongest of the eight guards, Night Patrol Snow Queen, and another guard who is a direct subordinate of the Ten Kings, one is far away in the northern border clearing out the Feathered Ones, and the other is guarding the southern region and in charge of city construction.

Now even Winter, one of the Eight Guardians, has been defeated head-on.

Under these circumstances, it would be unwise for them to rashly attack those two people...

Only Mona, standing at the back of the crowd, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Having just arrived in the capital, she was completely unaware of the situation and the circumstances, and couldn't understand the undercurrents in the atmosphere just now.

"It was just a misunderstanding after all..."

"It'll be fine after the investigation is over later!!"

Mona thought optimistically.

Weiss is just an ordinary weatherman, how could he possibly defeat the famous Winter Lord?

Meanwhile, the young swordsman Cassandra and Weiss were walking leisurely toward the Lunette family mansion.

After completely escaping the encirclement of the Night Patrol members, Cassandra glanced at Weiss with a strange expression, a smile of interest playing on her lips: "Just advanced in rank, yet you managed to beat Winter Duke to a pulp. Impressive, huh?"

"Fortunately, he wasn't as strong as I imagined..."

Weiss, deep in thought, replied truthfully.

He wasn't deliberately trying to put others down.

Although the skill combos developed by Dongjue were indeed ingenious, their numerical power was still far from sufficient.

You should know that even before he became a Feathered One, he was able to withstand an arrow from the Sun Princess, one of the Ten Kings.

Not to mention now that he has advanced to the 7th rank, possesses 7 secrets, and his attributes have experienced a dramatic increase in all aspects.

If we could send the current version of Weiss back in time...

Not to mention the little interactions that took place to buy time and at the eighth quarter of the Star Clock.

I'm afraid Xing Ba Ke will turn into a bloody mist the moment he peeks out...

However, upon hearing this comment, Cassandra narrowed her eyes thoughtfully, her eerie double pupils flickering a few times: "So how do you feel now? Can you still hold back?"

"Hold back what?" Weiss was slightly taken aback.

"Of course it's that one—"

"Don't you feel... really want to kill someone right now?"

"Oh, that's alright."

“Eh…” Cassandra drew out the last syllable, seemingly a little disappointed, before half-jokingly sighing, “It seems your natural talent is really ridiculously strong, even able to forcibly suppress the berserk will of a 7th-tier killing intent, what a pity.”

"I was really looking forward to seeing your breathing become heavy, your eyes bloodshot as you stared intently at me, completely losing control of your emotions, and putting on that pathetic, beast-like expression~~~"

"No way..."

Weiss wasn't too sure either.

Although there are indeed strong urges when the urge to kill occurs, at least for now, I can suppress them with the power of nature.

"Okay, just tell me whenever you really can't take it anymore. I'll try to hurt you a little..."

"This is also a way for the killing system to vent its frustrations."

As soon as she finished speaking, Cassandra put her hands behind her back and gradually quickened her pace.

Weiss lagged behind, a few dark lines hanging down his forehead.

He knew that the little sword saint's words probably meant that they should spar with each other.

There was absolutely no need to use such misleading and suggestive wording.

..

It was late at night.

Night patrol of headquarters.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was so oppressive it was almost frozen.

After receiving emergency treatment, Dong Jue regained consciousness. Without lingering in bed for even a second, he disregarded his injuries and rushed to the conference room covered in thick bandages.

Although it's not quite to the point of being a mummy.

But it looks like he was also badly injured.

At this moment, in the conference room, besides Bingfei and Zhanxing, who were his two direct bodyguards, there were several two-star level civilian cadres.

Information about "Weiss" regarding his identity and life story has been compiled.

Everyone was engrossed in reading the latest intelligence.

Weiss, an 8th-tier weatherman, is a commoner from Moonlit City. Not long ago, he married the second young lady of the Selenes family, who had become a vegetable two years prior. While the head of the family, Adele Selenes, and the Night Watch Snow Queen were fighting against the Dark Realm, Weisss temporarily took charge of Moonlit City's affairs for a month.

Witness to the Star Clock attack, the Sun Princess incident, the Feathered Ones' siege, and the Caged Bird incident; this person was present at the scene of each incident.

It must be said that for the mysterious powerhouse who was able to defeat Winter Duke, this intelligence was as clean as a blank sheet of paper, almost no different from saying nothing at all.

Although he was an eyewitness to several major events, he might seem somewhat suspicious to someone who was unaware of the situation.

But Moonlit City is only so big, and Viss has temporarily taken over the business of the Serenis family.

Anyone with a brain wouldn't doubt that Weiss was involved in this.

It's just that Xingzhong and Shenting have gone completely mad one after another...

Then they all fell to the legendary Thunder Emperor of the Moon.

As for the subsequent Feathered One incident, it had absolutely nothing to do with Weiss. Otherwise, how could the awakening of the Caged Bird be attributed to him?

This intelligence report didn't even include any combat records from Weiss...

The only problem was the transaction records of the 38 bottles of Tier 7 potions from the Starry Sky Merchant Guild, which were mentioned later in the document.

"..."

"..."

"The Selenes family?"

After reading the information, Ryan and Dongjue looked at each other, their expressions filled with a sense of absurdity.

Is this the strange, unheard-of family that Grace suddenly mentioned during the prayer ceremony at the Wilder Hess family home?

I never expected it to surface so quickly and in such an explosive way...

and......

Ryan only belatedly realized what was going on when he saw the keywords "vegetative state" and "Adele" in the intelligence report.

By the way, isn't Captain Adele a member of the Selene family?

When Grace mentioned Selenenis, he only vaguely recognized the name and had no idea that it referred to Adele's specific family.

In other words, the culprit who severely injured Dong Jue in the Starry Sky Merchant Guild warehouse today is none other than Weiss, who climbed 2.9 kilometers up the Snow Palace Trial a few days ago!?

This also explains why Cassandra, the little swordsman who always thrives on chaos, would personally intervene.

Weiss is her cousin's husband!!!

On the other side, Miss Xing's pure white eyes, devoid of any iris, stared at the intelligence report, her brows furrowing slightly:

"This guy was hiding his true intentions way too well, wasn't he?"

"A mere 8th-tier weather master, with no prior combat experience or achievements, fled all the way from the northern border to the royal city, and in his very first move, he directly defeated the martial arts-type Winter Duke!"

"Don't you guys think this is weird...?"

"Speaking of which, this guy must have absorbed those potions from the Starry Sky Merchant Guild before the fight started, and advanced to the 7th level of the Storm Path on the spot, right? How so, Winter Lord, were you defeated by the power of the Storm Path?"

"No, it's not..."

Dong Jue's face was pale, and he seemed hesitant to speak.

No, what does that mean?

How could it not be!?

Miss Xing glared at Dong Jue speechlessly.

Why are you still making things mysterious at this point?

Then, to everyone's astonishment, Dong Jue slowly raised his bandaged hand and pointed to the detailed list of potion transactions of the Starry Sky Merchant Guild in the information.

It was clearly recorded above:

20 bottles of Tier 7 Storm Potion.

as well as......

18 bottles of Tier 7 Annihilation Potion!!

The atmosphere in the entire conference room fell into a moment of deathly silence.

A few seconds later, Ryan, who was the first to react, exclaimed in shock: "He's a Feathered One!?"

Upon hearing this unbelievable answer, Bingfei was completely dumbfounded.

Feather! ?

How could someone as supremely miraculous as Lady Snow White willingly dye the hair of a Feathered One?

Moreover, judging from the current situation, apart from himself, no one else on the entire Night Patrol had detected the presence of the Snow White Clan's aura on that man...

Could it be that I actually misjudged the situation from the very beginning?

That Weiss wasn't a member of Snow White's family at all; he only gave off a similar misleading aura because he carried some kind of high-level forbidden item.

Bingfei was caught in a dilemma and decided to refrain from expressing her opinion and simply observe the situation.

"By the way, what were the explanations given to the vice president of the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce and that other high-ranking official?"

How exactly did they start fighting?

Seeing the incredulous expressions on everyone's faces, Dong Jue forced himself to calm down and then asked.

Upon hearing the question, a civilian cadre at the second-level immediately stood up and reported:

"Their testimonies match up. The vice president admitted that he misjudged the situation, mistakenly believing that his subordinates Zell and Weiss had conspired to steal 38 bottles of the exorbitantly priced potion. That's why he followed them and tried to stop them. His guards used excessive force and accidentally destroyed the shipment. He will personally bear the full responsibility for this loss."

"In other words, their initial friction was, in essence, just a misunderstanding."

“But…” At this point, the civilian official changed the subject, explaining with a serious expression, “That vice president insisted that after defeating them, Weiss openly and seriously injured Lord Winter, which is an extremely egregious provocation against the Night Patrol! According to the Night Patrol’s long-standing rules, he must be severely punished as a warning to others.”

It must be said that this vice president's mind works very quickly.

After all, Weiss advanced to the 7th rank right in front of all of them.

Since the attempt to silence him failed because of the humiliating reason of not being able to fight, his previous plan and story of forcing Zell to give him the potion were completely unworkable. Not to mention that the most crucial evidence of the carriage and the goods had been blasted to smithereens by his own bodyguards.

Therefore, he could only downplay the seriousness of the matter and frantically emphasize Weiss's heinous act of attacking the Winter Soldier.

Taking action against the night patrol's direct guards is a very serious matter.

This is equivalent to escalating from a purely commercial dispute with the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce to an open provocation against Night Patrol and even Snow White.

Moreover, during their fight, they also caused extensive damage to the buildings and terrain of the royal city.

It has been several years since such a serious incident has occurred during night patrols of the royal city.

Hearing the civilian cadre's analysis, Dong Jue frowned slightly: "But, I was the one who stopped him first..."

The civilian cadre shook his head: "It's different. First of all, you didn't hurt him, you just stopped him, right?"

"Secondly, he is in Mingyi ∨ q ten billion ∷ ∝ 8 thousand 7 hundred 3 ≯ ∧ 10 liu 5 ± § 6 thousand ♀ 8 < 160 ∷ ∝ 3 group √→

Knowing you were a representative of the Night Patrol Eight Guards, they offered no explanation and immediately launched a fierce counterattack. This behavior and motive cannot be explained by self-defense; it was purely a malicious attack…
