Chapter: 796

Even the Supreme Commander, one of the best Martial Artists in the Imperial palace, had come to realise after numerous attempts, that blocking the sound within such a large area with energy was utterly impossible.

The first thing the lieutenant had to do was to collect the bodies and investigate them.

“Listen to me everyone. Check every corpse...”

Bang!

Before he could even give the orders, the door to the main hall opened with a bang, and unwanted visitors appeared.

Officials in blue uniforms rushed into the yard.

‘East Spear?’

Lee-am’s expression hardened.

The East Spear were the last people he wanted to see at the moment.

There was a man wearing a jade necklace in the middle standing at the front, that man was Elder Dang-du.

Dang-du approached him arrogantly and opened his mouth.

“Huhuhu, from this point on, this case will be investigated by East Spear.”

At those words, lieutenant Lee-am spoke.

“What is that supposed to mean? This murder took place inside the Imperial Palace, we, the Imperial Guards will...”

“Where do you think this place is?”

East House, Guest House.

It was the domain of the East Spear.

This meant that it was their responsibility to manage the case, but the Imperial Guards also had the right to investigate the incident since it happened within the Imperial palace.

Furthermore, the only job the East Spear members were charged with was spying on people who might cause a rebellion within the Empire.

“Dang-du, we don’t have the luxury to argue over rights at the moment. Dozens of court ladies and officers were killed.”

Since arguing wouldn’t do them any good, Lee-am decided to cooperate.

Licking his red painted lips, Dang-du responded.

“huhuhu, I think you don’t realize the situation you’re in, Sir Imperial Guards’ lieutenant.”

“!?”

“This is a crime in which the Imperial Guards are also involved.”

“Wh-what?”

Those words caused anger to boil inside Lee-am’s stomach.

He’d just received an order to head over to the site, but now that he was there, this man from the East Spear was claiming that the Guards were involved.

‘What bullshit is this eunuch spewing?’

Not caring about Lee-am’s confusion, the East Spear’s Elder ordered his subordinates.
