Chapter 897 Interrogation

Close to a 1,000 people with various attributes such as people with expensive clothes, or strong auras, or those who were cold and proud, and the cloud level guests of the Levitating Petal palace along with those suspected of being a mysterious powerful warrior were present 

David looked far ahead amongst the crowd.

The Levitating Petal palace owner was at the side discussing with a tall and sturdy intrepid looking general by the side. David could feel from his aura that the general should be a peak cosmic lord.

"Rothwell general, they are all here." The owner said.

"Hm." Rothwell Zhade snorted through his nose, following which he gazed coldly at the crowd.

"Rothwell Zhade?" Amongst the crowd, David was happy after he heard it. He was still prepared to figure out how this Rothwell Zhade looked like, so as not to attack the wrong person. And now, he could see him clearly.

"Last night, which one of you broke into the Persian family mansion?" Rothwell Zhade shouted coldly.

The group of close to 1,000 unknown people remained silent, not making any sound at all.

And Rothwell Zhade, who sat high above on his green armored snake gazed at everyone below. Suddenly he pointed at a black robed cold looking man in the distance, shouting, "That black robed bastard, bring him along later."

"Yes!" the two deputy generals at the side complied.

"General!" The black robed cold looking man's expression grew ugly, shouting, "General, I'm from the Luan Yang area…"

"Don't give me rubbish." Rothwell Zhade laughed coldly. "With your strength and your dressing, I have no choice but to suspect that you were the culprit who broke into the Persian family mansion. Hm…that tall punk with messy hair, bring him too, that skinny punk hiding at the side too."

"You!"

"Him!"

"The one in the white robe."

"That blue haired one."

Rothwell Zhade continuously chose 10 people. These 10 were all very strong, as most of them were in the pinnacle sky level. There were even two Cosmic lords.

"And that black haired youth, his strength is strong enough too. Bring him." Rothwell Zhade pointed at David. David frowned, as there were no scanning devices in blood river world, they based their deductions purely on energies and auras. As for David, he used his willpower and consciousness strength to control and hide his strength, deliberately releasing one that of a pinnacle universe level.

He didn't expect to still get chosen.

"Alright. A total of 58 have been chosen. The culprit might very likely be within these 58. Take them all away back to the prison!" Rothwell Zhade waved his hand.

...

David didn't resist and followed the other 57 with the army. In terms of strength, David knew that he could easily wipe out Rothwell Zhade and the others. Because of his confidence and this guarantee, he was very relaxed. Until the critical moment, there was no need to massacre so many of them publicly.

"What's up with this general Rothwell, is this how they catch a killer? Coming over to our Levitating Petal palace to find a group of guests and randomly picking from a crowd, that's called finding a killer?"

"You idiot, Rothwell general is from the Rothwell family. The Persian family was humiliated, hence the Rothwell family are all extremely happy. Why would they seriously look for the culprit? If they really wanted to look for him, they would have begun their search last night, why would they wait till now. It's purely just for show, just an act. However, the 58 sure are unlucky."

Within Levitating Petal palace, many were discussing.

Heaven Devour city, General's prison.

David and the others were forced into groups of 5 or 6, and were separately crammed into cells. These cells were built by special stones from blood river world, and were able to exist under the universe energy flows and strong gravity here. Hence, these too were more sturdy than other stones. They were strong enough to block attacks from even a sky level (universe level) warrior.

"We sure are unlucky, I have to go meet my family leader tomorrow, how can this be good?" David's cell had a total of 6 people, of which a fat one dressed in expensive clothes sighed and shouted loudly. The others from different cells all heard him clearly.

"Big trouble, big trouble." The fatty didn't stop sighing.

"Shut up."

"Smelly fatty, lower you voice." The people from other cells all began to jeer and shout within.

The fatty looked outside at the soldiers approaching, raising his voice and sighing again, "If I don't see the Thornton family leader, my business would be ruined. I would incur huge losses! So unlucky, purely a disaster from above." After shouting a couple more times, under the jeers from others, he finally stopped.

David stood silently within the cell, watching things unfold.

...

Several of the guards and soldiers within the prison began to mutter.

"Brothers, the general captured these 58 back for show. He didn't even interrogate them. He even sent a bodyguard over to tell me, that after interrogating just a little, if there's no problem, just let some of them go, and leave some in the prison. Everything is just for show!" A guard said softly, "Did you hear that fatty shouting. He seems to be some sort of businessman, and is in a rush to meet someone. We should get a hefty sum from him."

"Hm, it's an opportunity."

"Afterall it's all just for show, it'll be fine with some of them gone."

The group of guards watching the prison all began to laugh and mutter amongst themselves. After which they ordered, "Go and grab that fierce and shouting fatty and bring him over. We'll interrogate him well."

"Yes, lord."

The group of soldiers immediately brought the fatty out.

...

Within the prison.

The fatty that was leaning against the door looking outside revealed a smile as he saw the group of soldiers running over. One of the soldiers ordered, "The lord has ordered for us to interrogate you well, grab him!" Following which they opened the door and grabbed the fatty.

The fatty turned back to the other 5 in the cell and said, "Sirs, I'll be leaving first, see you all!"

Following which, he followed the group of soldiers and left.

After a while.

A soldier ran over and shouted, "The lord has interrogated him and found him not suspicious at all, he's been released. The rest of you 57 better answer properly. Those that don't, be prepared to stay in this prison for awhile." Following which he turned and left.

"The fatty has gone!"

"Answer properly? What answer properly, isn't it simply bribing them well?"

"I know, that fatty purposely shouted that way before!"

"You know this only now? Stupid."

Discussions and noise resounded within the cells. The guards who were hiding in the distance heard the discussions and all of them began to smile. They then ordered, "Bring them one by one, we'll interrogate them properly!"
