Chapter 357: Chapter 261 Round Table Knight Mercenary Organization_3
The person in contact with him could not possibly leave any evidence behind, so there was basically no direct evidence on him to prove that the Round Table Knight Mercenary Organization had killed the Da Xia Quenching Master.
If one really wanted to find evidence, Lu Heng would not be able to find it linked to Christopher Sanchez either.
Even Iron Blood had no evidence to arrest Jin Shibiao from the Money Leopard Mercenary Company.
Therefore, from the beginning, Lu Heng did not intend to seek evidence.
It was the responsibility of Iron Blood Investigation Bureau to investigate the evidence.
Lu Heng only needed to know who the opponent was.
The Round Table Knights, an extremely famous mercenary organization of later ages, could be said to be the strongest mercenaries of the Lion Heart Empire.
Among the most famous world-level mercenary organizations of the Abyss Era, the Round Table Knights ranked above the Ghost Warrior.
The Ghost Warrior was the strongest mercenary organization of Fusang, while the Round Table Knights belonged to the Lion Heart Empire.
Moreover, the Round Table Knight Mercenary Organization had a significant backing, belonging to the Planter family of the Lion Heart Empire.
The Planter family was one of the 33-level families of the ASE All-Knowing Eye alliance.
This family controlled immense wealth, rich enough to rival countries.
For those few 33-level families of the ASE All-Knowing Eye alliance, even if the nation perished, these families would not.
The origins of this family could be traced back to the 11th-century Plantanite Dynasty, with a long heritage.
Such a family, that had lasted through ten centuries and endured a thousand years of historical changes and was still continuing, was unimaginably profound in its cultural depth.
In fact,
Lu Heng had initially thought that the attack on the Quenching Master must have been backed by a significant power, but he hadn’t expected it to be the strongest mercenary organization of the Lion Heart Empire, the Round Table Knights.
No wonder these people were so arrogant, for they had such powerful combat power supporting them from behind.
Indeed, the Mitsui Consortium of Fusang dared to make multiple moves within Da Xia territory because they had the strong combat power of the Ghost Warrior Mercenary Organization.
If Iron Blood were to investigate this case and trace it to Christopher Sanchez, the case would have ended there.
Because Iron Blood had no way to pursue the Round Table Knight Mercenary Organization, which was the armed force of the Lion Heart Empire.
This already involved issues between nations, completely different in nature.
Thus, if Iron Blood handled this case, they could only sever the hand the Round Table Knight Mercenary Organization stretched into Da Xia and there wasn’t much they could do about the number one mercenary organization of the Lion Heart Empire.
Iron Blood having no way to deal with the Round Table Knights did not mean Lu Heng couldn’t.
After Chen Linian led his team up to the 25th floor, Lu Heng released Christopher Sanchez, quickly flashed back to the ground, and after meeting with Su Muyu, drove off.
...
In the hallway of the 25th floor of the Atriel Club.
Chen Linian led his team to the front of room 2501 and, seeing the miserable state of the Caucasian inside, waved his hand and ordered his men to seize the man.
He then went to the window and looked down at the street.
On the street, a sedan was driving away from the club’s block.
He recognized it—it was the car driven by Lu Heng.
He watched as the car disappeared at the end of the street, with no intention of pursuing it.
If it weren’t for Lu Heng personally making a move, this case could not have continued at the Money Leopard Mercenary Organization.
Investigating cases sometimes is just this troublesome.
He clearly knew who to investigate, but could find no evidence.
Compared to that, Lu Heng’s way of handling things was much more straightforward, simply beating someone up and then slowly interrogating. If they didn’t talk, he would continue beating them until they possibly died.
If this were a time of peace, he would find such methods too cruel.
But in the Abyss Era, such individuals were necessary.
When the enemy is unreasonable, continuing to be reasonable yourself just creates an imbalance.
Chen Linian, positioned within the Iron Blood Investigation Bureau, representing an official department of Da Xia, therefore had to focus on evidence.
However, he was very grateful to Lu Heng, who could only handle those bandits with his thunderous approach.
Christopher Sanchez, after suffering three gunshots and seeing the agents of Iron Blood, kept repeating, "I want to see the ambassador, I want to see the ambassador."
Chen Linian looked back at him and ordered, "Shut up, put on the hood, take him away."
...
After returning to Iron Blood Headquarters, Chen Linian soon extracted information from Christopher Sanchez. ƒreewebɳovel.com
Christopher Sanchez had already answered Lu Heng’s questions, everything that should and should not have been said, eliminating any reason to resist further.
Thus, Chen Linian also extracted information regarding the Round Table Knight Mercenary Organization.
At this point, he realized the case had gone beyond his jurisdiction.
It wasn’t just him— even at the national level, there was little that could be done.
After all, the Round Table Knight Mercenary Organization was the strongest mercenary force of the Lion Heart Empire, an event this far-reaching could not be addressed.
At most, equivalent sanctions could be imposed.
After the interrogation, he called Lu Heng.
"Did you get all the information about the Round Table Knights?" he asked with a bit of resignation in his voice.
"I got it."
"I’ve already reported the matter, and what happens next is out of my hands." At this moment, Chen Linian envied Lu Heng for some inexplicable reason.
He finally understood why Lu Heng had never joined a department like Iron Blood.
With that kind of identity, one had to follow the rules.
Lu Heng spoke in an even tone, "No worries, I’ll handle the matters from here."
Chen Linian, surprised by Lu Heng’s words, asked, "Are you still going to pursue the Round Table Knight Mercenary Organization?"
"Where there’s a wrong, there’s a creditor. Why stop if the matter isn’t settled?" Lu Heng’s response was straightforward.
"But..." Chen Linian, worried about Lu Heng’s rash actions, initially wanted to persuade him but, remembering his previous interactions with Lu Heng, he held back.
He pondered for a moment and said, "If there’s anything you need help with, just give me a call, as long as I can make it happen."
