Colluding with the enemy and betraying the country?
Harming compatriots?
These two terms completely stunned Zhou Huai.
He had considered countless possibilities, but never imagined he would be accused of such a grave, such an absurd cri.
Where did it all go wrong?
Who is framing him?
Countless thoughts flashed wildly through his mind, finally settling on one possibility.
A deeply ominous premonition suddenly arose.
He looked up, his gaze passing over Hou Changfeng's anxious, chubby face, and directly at Liu Shaohan, tentatively asking, "Did sothing happen to the team exploring the Castlantis ruins?"
Liu Shaohan bared his teeth, revealing a mouthful of stark white fangs.
"Rember now?"
"Since you rember, co back with us and explain everything clearly!"
Liu Shaohan's affirmative answer intensified the ominous premonition in Zhou Huai's heart.
Sothing had indeed happened.
But how could it be?
When he left, everything was perfectly fine.
That team included the Great Xia Country's top SS-Class Professional, with Principal Lin Zhu personally overseeing it.
What could have happened to such a team?
Did the Grand Bishop of the Free Federation act shalessly?
Or did the Sakura Country and the Kimchi Country plot sothing behind the scenes?
Zhou Huai's mind raced, speculating on countless possibilities, and the expression on his face grew increasingly solemn.
Seeing Gandalf's expression gradually losing control, Zhao Qi stepped forward, the chains of forbidden law in his hand emitting a slight tallic clink.
"Put them on yourself."
Zhou Huai was already agitated, and hearing this, an unknown surge of Qi instantly flared up.
He suddenly looked up, and a terrifying cold light flashed in his deep eyes.
"What if I don't?"
The mont his words fell, a terrifying aura, like an awakened ancient Dragon, erupted from Gandalf!
The air in the entire Governor's office instantly solidified, and the temperature plumted!
The pressure was as heavy as a mountain, making it hard to breathe!
Hou Changfeng, who was closest, felt as if his heart was fiercely gripped by an invisible hand, and his breathing stopped at that mont!
The prized purple clay tea set on his desk even turned into dust without making a sound!
Liu Shaohan and Zhao Qi's expressions changed dramatically, and they instinctively took a step back, their eyes filled with horror!
Is this the true power of an SS-Class Forbidden Spell Master?
Just the release of his aura made these two battle-hardened generals feel a tremor from the depths of their Souls!
"Gandalf!"
Liu Shaohan gritted his teeth, squeezing out a few words, his tone chilling.
"What if you are an SS-Class Professional? Do you really think our military can't handle you?!"
As he spoke, a powerful aura also erupted from him, attempting to contend with Gandalf.
However, his aura was ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) insignificant before Gandalf's ocean-like pressure.
"Oh dear, Generals, Gandalf, calm down, calm down!"
Seeing the atmosphere grow tense, Hou Changfeng quickly broke free from the suffocating feeling, his corpulent body blocking between the two sides, forcing a smile that was uglier than crying.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead while trying to smooth things over.
"Let's talk things out properly, properly! There must be so misunderstanding!"
Zhao Qi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart, and his tone softened slightly.
"Gandalf, I know you are very strong and have made many contributions to the Great Xia Country."
"Our Great Xia Country's military believes it has not wronged you. But for you to do such a thing is truly heartbreaking."
He paused, his voice becoming even heavier.
"Now, I can still give you a chance. As long as you cooperate with us and accept the investigation, we will not abuse our power against you!"
"Of course, you can also choose to defy orders and completely break ties with us."
"With your current strength, the two of us can do nothing to you. But next ti, it will be Marshal Zhao coming for you.
"You can't escape!"
"I hope you think it through!"
Hou Changfeng silently closed his mouth at the side.
Having been a governor for so many years, his keen political intuition told him that sothing extraordinary had definitely happened.
The severity of this matter had far exceeded the scope in which he, at his level, could ddle.
Zhou Huai also gradually cald down.
He slowly reined in the terrifying aura on his body.
After a mont of contemplation, he ultimately controlled Gandalf to extend his hands.
"I'll go with you."
If sothing really happened to that relic exploration team, he would have to go back no matter what.
After all, this concerned the pendulum of life, and his own life.
Breaking ties with the military at this ti was definitely not a wise move.
Zhao Qi said no more, quickly stepped forward, and placed the chains of forbidden law on Gandalf's wrists.
The mont the cold tal touched Gandalf's wrist, a strange energy surged into his body along the chains.
Zhou Huai could clearly feel that his connection with the magic elents floating between heaven and earth was forcibly severed by an overbearing power.
The sea of magic power within his body was also instantly frozen, no longer able to be mobilized in the slightest.
This feeling was like a majestic eagle soaring in the Nine Heavens suddenly having its wings broken.
Seeing this, the two generals also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
No one had expected Gandalf to be surprisingly cooperative.
With the chains of forbidden law on, even if he was an SS-Class Forbidden Spell Master, he could not forcibly break them.
In this way, Gandalf posed no threat to them.
Zhou Huai naturally didn't care about these things.
Gandalf was not his Achilles' heel; he was just one of his many Clones.
If he truly wanted to resist, he could control Yaso or Xiang Yu to co over now and kill these two generals on the spot.
But what he wanted to know more at the mont was what had happened to that relic exploration team.
And where exactly was the pendulum of life?
Soon, the two took Gandalf and boarded a giant white eagle with a wingspan of over twenty ters.
The giant eagle let out a clear cry, flapped its huge wings, and carried the three soaring into the sky, soon disappearing into the horizon.
Near evening.
This giant white eagle appeared above the imperial capital.
It did not stop at all, flying directly towards the complex of buildings symbolizing the Great Xia Country's highest military power—the location of the Central Military Departnt.
The giant eagle slowly descended on a large helipad.
Dozens of fully ard military soldiers, who had been waiting there, imdiately sward forward.
They surrounded Gandalf, who was wearing the chains of forbidden law, their eyes vigilant, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Gandalf did not resist, allowing them to apply several more Seals on him.
Then, under the "escort" of two generals and a squad of soldiers, he passed through heavily guarded, cold tal corridors, and was finally led to a sealed interrogation room.
The heavy alloy door, like a city gate, slowly opened, emitting a muffled sound.
Inside the room, the lights were bright and dazzling, and the furnishings were extrely simple, with only a tal table and a few chairs.
An old general with white hair and beard, but a ramrod straight back and three stars on his shoulder, sat behind the table, his eagle-like eyes coldly scrutinizing him across the table.
"Bring him in," the old general said in a hoarse voice.
Gandalf was escorted by two soldiers and sat opposite the old general.
The old general's gaze was like a physical entity, sweeping back and forth over him, seemingly wanting to see through him completely.
After a long while, he slowly spoke, his voice devoid of emotion.
"Gandalf, according to the mission plan, you should have returned to the imperial capital with the team participating in the Castlantis ruins exploration."
"Why did you suddenly appear in Jiangning City?"
"What exactly did you do?"
Zhou Huai did not answer his question.
He looked up and calmly retorted, "Where is Principal Lin Zhu? I want to see her!"
The old general snorted at his words, his eyes filled with sarcasm and disgust.
"At this point, what nonsense are you still talking about?"
"Principal Lin Zhu is dead!"
"You should know this better than anyone else present!"
Boom!
These words, like a thunderbolt from the Nine Heavens, struck Zhou Huai's mind fiercely!
He felt as if his heart was fiercely gripped by an invisible hand, and his breathing stopped at that mont.
"You... what did you say?"
His eyes widened, and his voice beca hoarse and dry due to extre shock.
"Principal Lin... is dead?"
