The two police officers escorting Wang Kai were confused, as they hadn't seen Mozaren kneeling on the ground. They were bewildered when their chief demanded the release of the person they had just caught, and hesitantly asked, "Release, release him?"
Initially, the police chief was apprehensive and anxious for having arrested soone they shouldn't have. When he ordered the release and his subordinates hesitated, he erupted in anger, slapping both officers across the face. "Release him, didn't you hear? Just let him go already..."
The two officers were snapped back to reality by the slap and quickly released Wang Kai, unlocking his handcuffs as well.
At this ti, Mozaren, who was kneeling, stole a glance at Wang Xiaoqiang. Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang's stern expression and angry face, Mozaren's heart was filled with anxiety and anger as well.
He was angry because the police had barged in to take soone away at such a ti; it was simply lawlessness. Wang Xiaoqiang had entrusted the protection of the Dream Estate and his family to him, and now Wang Kai had been involved in street racing and crashed off a cliff, not to ntion the police coming to arrest him. This was a slap in the face for Mozaren.
And for soone of Wang Xiaoqiang's status as an Immortal, it was outrageous that soone would attempt to handcuff his son and take him away right in front of him! How could he not be angry?
When a Warrior is angered, blood might be spilled within five steps. When an Immortal is angered, bodies might line the streets for miles.
Soone like Wang Xiaoqiang, once enraged, could stir up a bloody storm.
Moreover, Mozaren felt partially responsible for the situation; if Wang Xiaoqiang decided to hold him accountable, he could be in trouble. Even if Wang Xiaoqiang were lenient and chose not to punish him, being ignored in the future would be unbearable. This was why Mozaren was anxious.
Still kneeling, Mozaren turned his head, coldly scanning the three police officers until his gaze landed on the chief. His voice slow but chilling, he asked, "Officer, may I ask what cri Young Master Wang committed to deserve being handcuffed and taken away for questioning?"
At this point, the other two officers noticed Master Mozaren and involuntarily shivered. The police chief's body trembled as he stamred, "M-Master... we were just following protocol..."
"I know you're just doing your job..." Mozaren's voice was still low, but it cut like ice, "I'm just asking, why was Young Master Wang taken away?"
"He-he... um, no, it was because Young Master Wang was racing with Tylen, and Ty-Tylen fell off a cliff and died. Headquarters ordered us to bring Young Master Wang back for questioning..." The police chief's voice trembled, speaking in a stutter.
"Crashing off a cliff during a race with Tylen and bringing Young Master Wang back for questioning isn't against the law, but I ask you, why was he handcuffed?"
As Mozaren's voice suddenly intensified, the chief's legs buckled, and he collapsed to his knees.
The other two officers also knelt down. As enforcers of the law, they understood that soone in Wang Kai's situation shouldn't have been handcuffed. They had violated protocol by doing so, but that wasn't what frightened them. What terrified them was handing over soone under Mozaren's protection.
"Master, please calm down. This is our fault; we shouldn't have done this. Slap, slap, slap..." The three officers began slapping their own faces in repentance.
Still, the police chief continued, "However, Master, we were just following orders from above to handcuff Young Master Wang..."
"Who gave the order!?" Mozaren shouted abruptly. The three officers shook with fright, and a more timid officer actually burst into tears.
"M-Master, it was, well, it was actually our captain, uh no, it should be the chief of police, no, actually, it was the Fuller Family..." The police chief nervously revealed the true origin of the orders.
"I don't care who ordered you. Bring them to and give an explanation, or this won't end well..." Mozaren's voice suddenly lowered, though it was as grim as iron and cold as ice, showing his deep-seated anger.
"Y-yes, sir, we'll go right away..." The three officers replied, crawling off the ground, eager to slink away. But Mozaren's voice called out again, "You have half an hour. If you exceed it, face the consequences yourself."
"Yes, yes." The three officers fearfully responded, quickly retreating and leaving the villa that filled them with dread.
Even after leaving the place that frightened them, they weren't at ease. They knew very well that the Fuller Family was powerful, but Mozaren was even more influential, and being caught in the middle was unpleasant. Running this errand was their worst luck.
"Chief, was I dreaming earlier?" asked an officer, still in shock, after their police car left Dream Estate.
"Sigh~~ Did I see that right? Master Mozaren, a State Preceptor and like an Immortal, actually knelt before soone. Who on earth is the owner of this Dream Estate?"
"It's really strange. How co I've never heard that the owner of Dream Estate is so powerful?" the police chief muttered in disbelief, racking his brain but unable to recall anything about Dream Estate.
No wonder, as cultivators usually kept a low profile, and Xu Qingxue was especially discreet. Since Wang Xiaoqiang left, she lived a semi-reclusive life, rarely venturing outside Dream Estate,
Thus, very few people knew her identity. Mozaren would avoid visiting Dream Estate to steer clear of suspicion and would only contact Xu Qingxue through phone calls, often through her female disciple. Despite Dream Estate's fa, its owners remained a mystery to many.
"Hey? Did you see that? There's always soone better. Wang Kai's father is sothing else. Master Mozaren kneels before him; he's probably like an immortal."
"I think he might really be an immortal."
"Hey? What do you think would happen if the Fuller Family and the owner of Dream Estate clashed? Who'd win, who'd lose?"
"Ha, you don't even need to think about it. The Fuller Family would definitely lose. Though Titanfall has good relations with the Imperial Household, who is Mozaren? He's the State Preceptor. Also, given his cultivation base, destroying the Fuller Family would be child's play..."
"Resolving it with martial power isn't very likely. This matter has already spread. Even Mozaren can't overdo it, or he would face societal backlash."
"Let's see, this will be interesting."
"What are you saying? Focus on how we can avoid getting involved. We carried out this task, and if the higher-ups scapegoat us, we're all finished."
The three officers fell silent, sucking their breaths in cold fear, lanting their bad luck.
Upon reaching the police station, they reported the situation to the captain. The captain could hardly believe their story, particularly the part about Mozaren kneeling to anyone. After all, Mozaren was a State Preceptor; how could he kneel to anyone?
However, observing the pale faces and trembling deanor of the three officers, the captain knew they weren't exaggerating and promptly turned cautious, imdiately reporting what happened to the chief of police.
The chief of police was equally shocked and skeptical, quickly ordering the intelligence division to gather all available information on Dream Estate.
Three minutes later, Wang Xiaoqiang's identity and background began to surface, and seeing this, even the chief of police felt unsettled.
It wasn't Wang Xiaoqiang's identity and background that frightened him, but the aspects related to his cultivation. Although the detailed information on his cultivation base wasn't available, for soone Mozaren would kneel to, the cultivation base must surpass Mozaren's. Just based on that cultivation base alone, he could overpower everything else.
This realization left the chief of police feeling on edge, imdiately calling Titanfall.
Titanfall was just waiting for the outco of Wang Kai's detention and interrogation.
The outco was, there was no outco!
He heard distressing news instead, which he found extrely displeasing. Yet he couldn't believe what the chief of police was saying. Before the chief could finish, Titanfall sneered, "Heh~~~ I say, Chief, please get this straight. Master Mozaren is like a State Preceptor, soone with Heaven-Piercing cultivation, like an Immortal. How could he bow to anyone? Or who could be worthy of his kneeling? Your subordinates must be drunk or dreaming, seeing things. Alright, I don't have much more to say. I need a result today; if you can't charge Wang Kai today, you might as well quit your job as chief of police."
