Seeing the newcor, everyone in the interrogation room turned pale,
Norton hurriedly prostrated himself: "Greetings, Collins Clarence..."
Everyone else quickly straightened their bodies and gave the highest military salute.
"At ease!" The man’s voice carried an authoritative pressure that made everyone present lower their heads even further.
He was still wearing a cape from the Military Departnt, with a weapon at his waist, clearly just back from the battlefield, the boots still stained with snow from the northern front.
Though travel-worn, it did nothing to diminish the man’s charisma.
His deep-set eyes carried a natural sense of oppression, but the slight gray at his temples betrayed a hint of his age.
His sharp eagle-like eyes scanned the situation in the interrogation room, and he quickly crossed the room to shut off the power switch on the wall.
Seeing this, Charlotte hurriedly went over to release the shackles on Josh.
"Is this how you te out private punishnt to the little hero of Burn City?"
Upon hearing this, Norton’s face instantly turned ghastly pale: "A-Admiral, how can you say that?"
Charlotte’s eyes also flickered with surprise.
Collins waved his hand, signaling for outsiders to co in, picked up the unconscious Josh, and left.
Seeing this, Norton understood at once, hurriedly kowtowing: "Admiral, this has nothing to do with , I was just here to see what’s going on, I hadn’t said anything! You know, the noble district can’t ddle with the military district’s jurisdiction..."
He hadn’t finished before Collins kicked him aside.
Norton’s body flew out, crashing heavily against the wall, and he fell down, spitting out blood.
Collins is one of the top commanders of the Military Departnt, one of the three admirals, and among them, the most authoritative, with a powerful SSS-grade spiritual power. Not everyone can withstand his kick.
Collins expressionlessly looked down at the man on the ground: "Do you think I haven’t kicked you to death because of a whim? If the little hero wants to keep your worthless life when she wakes up, you’ll have a chance to live. If not..."
He coldly looked at Norton, who was indeed crawling towards him like a dog begging for rcy: "Just wait and see if I hang your head at the Marquis’s gate, whether he would dare to take it down within seven days."
Norton was pale, as if all his life had been drained out.
Collins turned and left.
Charlotte hurriedly followed but dared not speak to the Admiral, only daring to respectfully ask the adjutant behind him: "Deputy, what is going on here?"
The adjutant glanced at him: "Last night that little girl used a weapon to save the Admiral’s wife. Fortunately, the tily rescue left the lady unhard. Otherwise, you would all be in serious trouble."
Charlotte, upon hearing this, broke out in a cold sweat.
Everyone knew that Admiral Collins adored his wife dearly, and besides, his wife was no ordinary figure.
She was the only female Duke on the entire Federation Planet!
There were only seven Dukes in the entire Federation!
If she had died in Burn City...
Charlotte couldn’t even imagine the wrath and repercussions the entire public service staff of Burn City would face.

Mysterious Guild No.1 Mansion.
Yuze yawned lazily as he went downstairs: "Auntie, has Josh co down for breakfast?"
Auntie looked at him guiltily, "... Uh."
Yuze instantly beca alert, squinting his eyes: "She hasn’t co down to eat, has she? I’ll go find her!"
Ma Qi quickly called him to stop: "Yuze! Check your Smart Brain, your family has been calling you all morning but couldn’t reach you!"
Upon hearing this, Yuze paused, opened his Smart Brain to check the ssages.
A mont later, he dashed off, barreling out with his five-billion-worth Mighty General spaceship flying out at breakneck speed.
Joyce happened to co out from the side, and seeing only the afterimage of the big spaceship outside the window: "Did you tell that kid Yuze? Is he going to make a scene at the station?"
Ma Qi waved his hand: "Not yet, didn’t get the chance, his family seems to be looking for him, they’ve been calling to pass the ssage."
Joyce nodded in sudden realization: "With a family like that, anything would be a big deal for them."
Ma Qi shrugged: "Forget it, we can’t count on Yuze for now, let’s figure out how to get that kid Josh out. She’s too young to have a prison al, can’t let her be traumatized by the station."
Joyce chuckled: "Alright."
Hospital.
Yuze rushed to the central city hospital, heading straight to the VIP floor.
"Here, here!" Collins called out with a dark face: "What’s with the ruckus?!"
"Where’s my mom?" Yuze went straight to the point, panting, sweat drenching his head from running.
Collins glared at him: "She’s inside, the doctor says she needs to rest quietly, don’t you dare—"
Yuze rushed in: "Mom!"
The door slamd shut with a bang.
Collins: "..."
His greatest sin in this life was raising such a reckless brat!
The woman lay on the bed, in loose and soft ho pajamas, leaning against the soft hospital pillow, still with a face mask on. Startled, she clutched her heart, and her beautiful eyes darted sharply: "Trying to scare your mom to death, are you?!"
Seeing her lively, Yuze breathed a sigh of relief: "You scared to death, what happened between you guys, Deputy Lu said, any later and they’d have been preparing for your funeral."
Lu Yangzhang, nearby, shrank his neck, "You did say last night to get the young master back as quickly as possible."
Catherine glared at him, then averted her gaze: "I’m fine~ Last night I suddenly had a heart attack, luckily a kind young friend brought dicine from the car."
Yuze’s face darkened: "Knowing you have a heart problem and you didn’t carry your ds?"
Catherine pulled her hand away, speaking confidently: "That pillbox is huge, it’s ugly to carry in my bag, ruins my image!"
Yuze furrowed his brow: "Mom..."
Catherine quickly changed the subject: "Thanks to that young friend last night, I’m fine, but she’s in a bit of trouble now."
"Why? Did you scare her to death with your status?" Yuze asked.
Catherine smoothed the wrinkles on her face mask: "No, last night that kid was in a hurry and used a weapon to take to the parking lot, soone fild it and posted it online, she got cursed to death. I guessed she’d be caught by the city managent bureau, so your dad went to get her this morning."
"Isn’t that good?" Yuze didn’t understand.
Catherine was a bit speechless: "But that kid suffered private punishnt at the bureau, got electrocuted, and is still lying in the next ward. I’ll visit her after I wash my face mask, you co with ! This little girl has sothing to do with you~"
Yuze’s eyelid twitched: "What’s it got to do with ? I spend all day in the simulation, don’t know any little girls."
Catherine gracefully waltzed to wash her face, speaking again: "You’d have to tell what relationship it is, if she hadn’t been wearing your clothes, I wouldn’t have held onto her, wouldn’t have gotten saved by her~"
"What’s my clothes..." Mid-sentence, Yuze suddenly froze, then rushed out again like the wind.
The door closed with a bang.
"Oh my! You little brat, trying to scare your mother to death, aren’t you?!" Catherine shouted at the door, took a deep breath, turned her head back: "Calm down, calm down, getting angry causes wrinkles, not pretty."
