Everyone's become an adventurer, so who's going to put in the effort themselves?

Mona City, 33 Rose Street.

Knock knock! A knock sounded on the door.

"Who is it! How could you be so heartless as to knock on the door in the middle of the night?"

As Ruth began to curse, the door was opened.

Wearing an expensive white silk nightgown, Ruth, whose figure was slightly out of shape, opened the door.

When the door opened, what came into view was a group of three young men dressed in black uniforms with knight's swords at their waists.

Upon seeing the three men's uniforms, Ruth's previously irritated face instantly changed, and her eyes cleared.

"Military police?!"

"You...you guys found out?"

The three military police officers, who were about to say something, exchanged a glance.

Hey, there's an unexpected bonus!

At this moment, the silver-haired, spiky-haired leader said coldly:

"Will you confess yourself, or will we personally search your mind?"

Upon hearing this, Ruth's face paled, and her voice suddenly rose:

"That wasn't what I wanted to do, it was Jacken..."

"Ruth!!"

A loud shout came from inside the house, followed by a large hand grabbing Ruth's face, pinching her nose, and pulling her back inside.

"Get inside now."

The lead military police officer frowned upon seeing this, but made no move.

At this moment, Jacken, who had replaced Ruth blocking the door, blushed and gasped for breath before standing in front of the military police:

"I am Jacken Knightworth!"

"Descendants of the Red Dragon!"

"You've come to me with an investigation warrant from the City Lord's Mansion?"

Upon hearing this, the two military police officers glanced at their captain.

At this moment, the silver-haired military police officer in the lead said expressionlessly:

Is Ruth Knightworth home?

Upon hearing this, Jacken frowned, realizing that something seemed amiss.

If what he did was exposed, why would he look for his wife?

“She’s here.” Jacken turned his head and glanced at Ruth, who was lying on the floor of the room, groaning.

At this moment, the silver-haired military policeman expressionlessly pulled out an 'investigation document':

"We have received a letter from the Adventurers' Guild requesting assistance in the investigation, asking Ruth Nightwalker to be arrested and investigated in connection with the quest fraud."

"Huh?" Jacken was stunned.

Meanwhile, Ruth scrambled to her feet, furiously launching into a tirade:

"Who said I committed quest fraud? Did I post a quest with the Adventurers' Guild?"

She spoke with extraordinary confidence and in a loud voice, making the silver-haired military policeman wonder if he had made a mistake.

He looked down and then said in confusion:

"Are you sure you didn't post a quest to find Lynn Knightworth at the Adventurers' Guild around 1 p.m.?"

Ruth was stunned upon hearing this: "How could this be?"

"I posted the quest to find that brat, but I didn't cheat anyone, did I?"

At this moment, cold sweat appeared on Jacken's face.

After confirming that Ruth was aware of the situation, the silver-haired military policeman immediately explained:

"It was definitely you who sent it."

"An adventurer reported to the guild that the same quest is worth 30 magic coins within the Adventurers' Guild."

"You used a 2-fiat-coin quest to trick adventurers into accepting a high-level quest worth 30 fiat-coins, which constitutes fraud. Please come with us."

Upon hearing this, Ruth was completely dumbfounded.

"What did you say? That peasant is worth 300,000? Really?"

At this moment, Jacken moved the corners of his mouth, but found himself unable to speak.

When the two military policemen walked past him and entered the room to arrest Ruth, Jacken finally couldn't help but say:

"Excuse me, could you help me contact that adventurer? I'd like to meet with him and discuss a reconciliation."

Chapter 17 How can you prove that I am me?

Mona City, No. 10, Military Police Headquarters Building.

"You've arrested the wrong person! I didn't intentionally deceive any adventurers!"

"You've really arrested the wrong person!!"

Ruth, being escorted by two military police officers, let out a sharp, piercing scream.

"Behave yourself."

Her screams were so offensive that they angered a military policeman, who slapped her across the face!

With a snap, Ruth immediately fell silent.

This scene was witnessed by Jeken, who had followed but was not being escorted.

His face twitched slightly, and his gaze toward the military police seemed hesitant, as if he wanted to say something, but there was also a hidden sense of satisfaction.

Just then, a male voice, tinged with laughter, rang out:

“It’s nice to see you again, Mr. Jacken.”

Hearing this, Jacken paused for a moment, then looked up in the direction from which the voice came.

At that moment, at the gate of the military police headquarters, Jacken saw Lynn, who was not wearing a mask and had a smile on his face.

Upon seeing Lynn, Jacken's pupils contracted, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.

However, at that moment, Ruth, who was standing nearby, immediately started shouting again when she saw Lynn:

"It's you, you mud-blooded brat?!"

"You still have the nerve to come up to me?"

"Hey, you know what, I actually do have some."

Lynn stroked his chin, looking at Ruth with amusement:

"But judging from your expression, you don't seem to realize anything yet?"

As he spoke, Lynn stroked his chin, as if deep in thought.

A few seconds later, as if suddenly realizing something, he moved his hand, which had been hidden behind his back, to his front, and in his hand was a bat mask.

He slowly put the mask on his face so that Jacken and Ruth could see him clearly, and then spoke to them in a very kind tone:

"We meet again, my esteemed employers!"

Jack's pupils contracted sharply, and Ruth screamed in alarm:

"It's you!!"

"How could it be you?!"

"That's right, it was me, the one who reported you."

Lynn gave Jack and Ruth a big smile and said, slightly surprised:

"That's strange, why haven't we seen Miss Tan Ning?"

"I was really looking forward to seeing her expression at this moment."

Upon hearing this, Jack's lips twitched, but he suppressed his emotions and said nothing.

Ruth, who was standing nearby, wanted to swear, but was slapped again by the already annoyed military policeman.

*Snap!*

Ruth has become well-behaved again.

The silver-haired military policeman, however, explained with a subtle expression:

"It seems that Tan Ning, whom you are looking for, is staying at a friend's place. Moreover, she is not the one who initiated the mission, so she is not within the scope of the arrest."

Upon hearing this, Lynn understood. His first mission was issued by Ruth, and his second mission was issued by Jacken. Tanning really had nothing to do with it.

This made Lynn feel somewhat regretful.

However, Lynn quickly adjusted his mindset, turned around, and smiled at the silver-haired military police leader, saying:

"Sir Military Policeman, may I also give this a try, given it a small matter of education?"

The silver-haired military policeman's face twitched involuntarily upon hearing this.

He had seen too many enemies, but he had never seen anyone as prone to arguing as Lynn!

"No!" the silver-haired military policeman said coldly. "Also, please move aside and don't interfere with the military police's law enforcement."

"Ok."

Lynn wisely stepped aside, allowing the three military police to escort Ruth into the military police headquarters.

Jeken, who wasn't being escorted, stared coldly at Lynn, but the silver-haired military police captain kept a close eye on him, preventing Jeken from making any move. He could only take heavy steps and walk past Lynn.

However, just as Jacken passed by Lynn, Lynn suddenly cast an Appraisal spell on him.

[Ding! Identification successful!]

[Appraisal Skill +5, Appraisal Skill Upgraded, Current Level Lv2.]

Immediately, the silver-haired military policeman walking in front stopped, and his two teammates beside him also stopped, looking at Lynn with unfriendly expressions.

"Adventurer, please watch your behavior. Do not use Appraisal on people indiscriminately in the city."

At the same time, Jacken suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were standing naked in the grass and being stared at by a wolf.

Upon hearing the words of the silver-haired military policeman in front of him, Jeken realized that Lynn had used an appraisal spell on him.

Realizing this, even though he knew Lynn's appraisal skills weren't high, Jacken couldn't control his emotions. Anger and fear surged within him, and he grabbed Lynn's collar.

"You bastard!!!"

Upon seeing Jake's action, the silver-haired military police captain, who had been warning Lynn, immediately grabbed Jake's arm and warned:

"Jacken Knightworth! Let go of my hand right now!"

"Don't bring shame to the Knightworth family!!"

Upon hearing this, Jeken suddenly realized something and turned to look at the silver-haired military police captain beside him.

At that moment, he suddenly realized that the silver-haired military policeman in front of him had very familiar features:

"You are, Cohen?"

Cohen Knightworth gripped Jacken's arm tightly with a stern expression, causing the latter to wince in pain and release Lynn's collar.

"Now that you recognize me, behave yourself!"

"Don't embarrass Senior Fei Yin anymore."

At this moment, Lynn's expression changed slightly upon realizing that the two seemed to be of the same clan.

Upon hearing Cohen mention Feynman, Lynn Knightworth's mother, Lynn narrowed her eyes and said sarcastically:

"Shameful?"
