Chapter 709 – Protocol Requires Confirmation
The chief didn't flinch.
"Our surveillance wards detected infernal power fluctuations within the limbo breach. The origin trace leads to Greed authority signatures."
Lux stared.
Then laughed once. Short. Sharp. Absolutely disbelieving.
"…Okay. So you guys are trying to slander me now. Great. Fantastic strategy. Very subtle."
The chief raised one hand.
"We also recovered physical evidence at the breach site."
He gestured behind him. Another guard stepped forward carrying a floating scroll sealed in glowing containment light.
The scroll unfurled midair.
Greed sigils burned across its surface. Royal-tier infernal script.
Lux stared at it.
Then slowly turned back toward the chief.
"…Who," Lux said carefully, "is the absolute idiot that leaves THAT kind of obvious evidence at a kidnapping scene?!"
His voice rose despite himself.
"Use your goddamn brain!"
Vizreel shot him a sharp look.
"Lux. Language."
