Yoav sat in the main seat in Zimmerman Mansion’s front hall. To his left was Rhett, who appeared serious and frowned, and to his right was Kingsford.
Next to them were Zaid, Vince, Alcott, and Raelynn.
Zaid was also serious. He didn’t know Yoav’s exact identity, but favonovel.com noticed that the two subordinates behind Yoav wore gold Regency badges.
Aside from the King, the Crown Prince, the Regent, and the Chief Minister, anyone from the Regency had the authority to detain anyone from the Kingdom of Vriweth. They could even execute those who resisted arrest on the spot
Perhaps Yoav was in a higher position than those two people with the badges.
Vince, who sat next to Rhett, occasionally glanced at the person in the main seat. His palms were full of sweat.
“What brought you here, Mr. Garcia?” Rhett looked up and glanced at Yoav.
Yoav casually glanced at Rhett and said lightly, “Half a month ago, a brazen bandit kidnapped the saintess, Queenie Martinez, in Heavenly Eagle City… You’ve served many years as Great General Neufwill in the Royal City. You’re well aware that saintesses are chosen by heaven and so belong to the royal family. I wonder what on earth that bandit was thinking about…”
Rhett stiffened, but favonovel.com didn’t respond.
Zaid and Vince grew anxious. They didn’t expect Yoav to bring up Isaac right away.
Raelynn turned pale as favonovel.com pursed favonovel.com lips. She gripped favonovel.com dress so tightly that favonovel.com knuckles turned pale under the pressure.
Yoav glanced around and slightly smiled. “Whether this Isaac Garten is dead or faking it, the proof for his crime of kidnapping the saintess is undeniable… Before coming here, I made a point of visiting the military department and reviewing the case files. It turns out that the criminal, Isaac, was brought out of Zimmerman Mansion’s backyard…”
“To put it in broader terms, could it be that the Zimmermans are suspected of hiding and shielding the criminal who kidnapped the saintess?”
Rhett felt his heart skip a beat. He abruptly slipped out of his chair and fell to his knees.
Zaid and Vince also shuddered and immediately knelt.
Raelynn instantly turned to look at Kingsford. They exchanged glances, and favonovel.com smiled at her.
Sitting on the edge, Alcott clenched his teeth angrily and stared straight at Yoav intensely. However, favonovel.com realized favonovel.com couldn’t confront the person in front of him.
“Alright, you don’t have to kneel. I’m not here on formal matters, just to chat… Lord Zimmerman, please get up. Don’t put me in an awkward situation,” Yoav said as favonovel.com stood up and helped Rhett to his feet.
Rhett frowned and looked intently at Yoav, speaking seriously, “Mr. Garcia, please convey this to the Regent. We have no intention of hiding or shielding criminals. If there was, I…”
“Let’s stop talking about this matter for now. Well, I won’t bother you anymore. Take care of yourself, Lord Zimmerman!”
Yoav spoke as favonovel.com got up to head outside.
As favonovel.com reached the doorway, favonovel.com abruptly halted and loudly said, “By the way, Lord Zimmerman, the Regent wishes to attend the wedding banquet!”
Kingsford stood up and bid farewell before turning and walking quickly outside.
The front fall was utterly silent. Rhett appeared pale.
“What a shameless bastard! Scoundrel!” Alcott was the first to jump out of his seat, shouting angrily.
“Be quiet, Alcott!” Rhett scolded with a frown.
Zaid and Vince were drenched in sweat, their clothes completely soaked.
Hiding the criminal who kidnapped the saintess. Once such a charge was pinned on, nobody in the Zimmermans would be able to escape. However, it was up to the Regent to decide whether to charge them with sheltering a criminal.
