Chapter: 428

“Yes, my Lord.”

“We should call them off now.”

This was on intention. The Lord had contained members from Yulin clan at the hall purposely so that they can see cults had investigated publicly in front of everyone. Yulin clan had two of 17 members and their strategist Jegal Sohi with them. This was why the Lord allowed Chun Yeowun’s request to investigate. This was to ensure no complaints being made for lack of investigation.

“Have doctors to return to their stations and imprison members from Yulin... huh?”

The Lord closed his mouth as he heard someone approaching from outside the office. Soon, warriors who stood guard at the entrance shouted into the office.

“My Lord, the Demon Doctor awaits your permission to enter.”

“Hm?”

He was about to order to have them stop, but since the Doctor was here himself, then it seemed he was here to report that he couldn’t find anything.

‘Good.’

The Lord nodded and ordered for the Doctor to come in. Demon Doctor Baek Jongwu then came up with a plate covered with white clothes and placed down on the ground and knelt.

“My Lord.”

“Welcome. How did the investigation go?”

Demon Doctor then looked up and answered.

“My Lord, I have found out the evidence.”

“What?”

Chun Yujong’s eyebrow raised. What was the doctor thinking? He had ordered Marakim to dispose of every piece of evidence, so he was confused and couldn’t hide his feeling at the report. Baek Jongwu then took off the clothes over at the plate. There were glasses on the plate and the Lord became shocked.

‘A glass?’

He then realized what had happened. He only ordered bottles to be replaced as the situation was taking a quick turn so he couldn’t think deep, so he didn’t imagine someone would find evidence on a glass. Luckily, glasses had nothing init.

‘There’s nothing in there. Then it shouldn’t be...’

Chun Yujong became frowned and Baek Jongwu pointed at the glass and explained.

“We have found remains of various mixtures such as opium poppies that can create illusions from the glass.”

‘...Ugh.’

The Lord became wordless at frustration. It was a mistake for him to not order for the replacement of glasses, but this was surely a keen finding since there was nothing that was found from bottles.

‘I should’ve told the doctor for the plan.’

The Lord regretted his choice. He had to talk to the Doctor to disregard any evidence even if he finds one. It was an investigation being made in front of members of the Yulin clan, so the Lord thought it was better for the Demon Doctor to not know, to make the investigation look real. Demon Doctor thought the Lord was uncomfortable because of the incident itself, so he brought up another topic to ease the moment.

“But the Crown Prince did a good job in finding this evidence.”

“...What? Crown Prince found this?”

The Lord frowned at the report. Chun Yujong was already frustrated for his plan to fail after this finding.

‘That boy...!’

The Lord became wordless for a second and asked.
