Leon stood before Synder, Hella, and Yo Kihwoon testing their power. He was pleased to see the blackish greatsword materialize behind Yo Kihwoon.

He was wonderfully surprised by the test.

"Life is full of surprises. If I hadn't gone to wake Martial Spirit, I would have never known that I had such power."

The soul form of the deceased can use everything of their original power along with their Martial spirit however their intelligence had regressed a bit but he guessed that they would soon revert back as they grow higher.

He also picked a few other dead men to use as porter and then went to pick Lu Yan and Steph.

They were still alive and barely breathing. He didn't know if they would be all right once they woke up as a mental attack can damage one's mind and soul causing irrecoverable damage.

"Haaaaa!First mission and I am already involved in such a mess."

"I can already feel a headache coming."

..........

Back at the base, Leon had his height and weight taken before being brought to a white interrogation room. Their fight had drawn a great amount of eyes as their battle almost caused the collapse of an entire locality.

An investigator with a stern face narrowed his eyes and asked coldly.

"Name."

"Noel Star.."

"Gender."

"...."

Hearing no reply, he glared at Leon and asked again"Cooperate with the investigation."

"Gender.."

"Trans.."

The investigator almost fell from his seat giving Leon a bewildered look. The veins on his forehead bulge as he asks next.

"Age?"

"50...No, it should 60.''

BANG!

The investigator slammed down the notepad and shouted.

"Are you playing with me? Is this a joke to you?"

Leon opened his lips with a pondering look and then leaned forward and snorted, "Who is the one to start all this?"

"Can you just go straight to the point?"

"Okay, now tell me about your family, your birthplace, and your date."He asked, gritting his teeth.

Leon sighed upon hearing this"I have few relatives?"

"Where are they and where were you born?"

"Mount Tai!"Leon answered

"Huh!"

"Mount Tai but we didn't have any record of that place."

"That shows that you are naive and useless. Just go and ask your superior, you dumb shit."Leon spat with a smile.

"What did you say? Say that to me again."

"You are dumb...No, you are fucking stupid dumb piece of shit."Leon spoke calmly and added."You know that I am a contracted assassin working with your military yet you are asking me to give my details. I don't know what to say."

The investigator's expression distorted upon hearing this. He was receiving instructions from the earpiece from his superior who was observing the whole scenario from above.

Yo Kihwoon's death was quite mysterious and this was the only person who came back when the follow-up arrived to clear the situation.

He suppressed his anger and asked him to describe everything, to which Leon gave details about this.

For important questions, Leon was prepared to relay everything and as for other useless ones, he just gave random answers.

It was they who wouldn't monitor their own people in the name of privacy whereas they would invade others' privacy to the last minute details.

By any chance, if you are suspected they will make your life hell by examining and investigating you while real criminals would be running free.

After a lengthy interrogation for a few hours, it finally ended.

"Don't think it's over. You are still under our suspicion. We will be watching your every move."

"That means you don't have anything to punish me now?"

"How Sad!"Leon sighed exasperatedly.

"After such a lengthy interrogation, I thought you would have found something against me alas it seems your interrogation skill is quite novice."Leon taunted.

The investigator's face darkened and his hand shook in fury. With a cold snort, he turned around and left.

"Hey, before leaving tell me are you gonna hack my phone and see a video of me naked? Can you at least promise not to release my naked video as a sex tape or at least give me a commission for sale...Hey....."

The investigator almost slipped down on his foot on hearing this. Ignoring Leon he walked hastily to get away from this menace.

Leon smiled crookedly seeing the man's retreating steps.

He knew exactly how these people played around. In the name of suspicion, they would go to any length especially if it's something to benefit from.

Leon, taking his leave, went to the infirmary to take a look.

Steph was awakened while Lu Yan and was still unconscious. And even in this condition, these people interrogated Steph.

Leon found it hard to control his impulse to give Argent a call and snitch him about his underlying doing but he let it go as he understood their intent.

After the investigator departed, Leon patted Steph and sat beside him.

"How are you, buddy?"

"Still alive and breathing, "Steph answered with a bitter smile and looked at Leon in gratitude.

"All thanks to you man."

"I just did what I felt right."Leon shrugged his shoulders and asked."What about Lu Yan?"

"She might be unconscious for a few days,"Steph answered with a saddened expression.

"By the way, you look quite relaxed or should I say unbothered by this as if you are used to it."

Steph nodded with a brief sigh, "Yes, I am pretty used to this."

"You might not know because this is your first time but we from Blood Net are considered outsiders and looked down in contempt. You might think they are pleased to work with us but deep down they despise us deeply and many times we have to suffer if there is a mess."Steph then stared at the ceiling with a blank look.

"Every time something wrong happens, it's us who have to bear the brunt."

"Then why are you even working with them, "Leon asked, giving an inexplicable gaze.

"We have no other option. Though it had many consequences still it brought us some fame and reputation. Moreover, people who are in ties with the military are more likely to be trusted by others. As you know there are thousands of people on Blood Net, so you need to do something crazy to get recognition, and I have many mouths to feed, and see that they grow up well. If I die where is missing from the government, my family would get remuneration and other benefits when I die.''

"That's a good perk."Leon rubbed his chin to ponder a bit, "Why don't you become bodyguards or join the families? You can even open your own security company."

"Na, that's too much of a hassle. I value my freedom more than anything. At least, I can still be free and not become anyone's lapdog."

"Freedom…You are right about."Leon nodded….

...….

While Leon was at the military base, wondering what to do next, Sophia got a pair of visitors much to her surprise. And unbeknownst to her, this meeting would have a great impact on her life.

A meeting to decide where she belongs…
