Outside the Order Prison of Kolos City.
Lu Heng and Fiona stood outside the prison, waiting for the guards to bring someone out.
It didn't take long for Ke Yiming to walk out from the prison steps. When he saw Lu Heng at the entrance, a momentary look of confusion flashed across his face.
Fiona announced, "You are temporarily cleared of suspicion. You can return to your hotel to rest, but certain secured areas in the city are off-limits."
Ke Yiming nodded, didn't say much, and just went back to the hotel in the commercial district on his own.
Sitting at the hotel's bar, he looked into Lu Heng's eyes for a long while and asked, "It was you who had the elves capture me, wasn't it?"
Lu Heng did not deny it and admitted, "There were suspicions, so I needed to eliminate any doubt concerning you."
Ke Yiming thought for a moment and asked, "What happened in the city? Why was I suspected?"
