"Boss, the tight-lipped ones have all confessed. The secret boss behind these gambling dens and brothels is Bennett Marquis. Over 50 bodies were dug out from the gambling dens' backyards, and most of them belong to the gamblers who caused trouble at the gambling dens or had made a killing at them.
"A huge amount of illegal magical drugs was confiscated from the brothels. We followed the trail last night. We busted their drug manufacturing base, and arrested a bunch of drug-making magic casters. Their secret boss is also Bennett." A member of the Gray Temple's intelligence department strode into Borg's office and placed the testimonies on his table. With a proud expression, he reported, "There's no one that could hide secrets from us, the intelligence department. This is really a big fish."
"We really wouldn't have found out that such a formidable figure was hiding in Chaos City if we hadn't investigated. Moreover, he has almost completely whitewashed himself." Borg picked up those testimonies, and casually flipped through them with amazement too before looking up at that subordinate. "Do a thorough investigation to find out who is covering for them within the Gray Temple and the city lord's castle. I want to see who is so formidable to rear a wolf right under our noses."
"Yes." That subordinate left and closed the door.
Borg pondered for a while as he stared at those testimonies. He then proceeded to the lord of the Gray Temple's office with the testimonies. This was a huge case, and it wasn't just simply threatening Mag. He needed to ask the lord's permission. This involved many parties' interests, and the decision was above his pay grade.
However, he could be sure of one thing. That Marquis Family's bastard was going to be so dead.

In the patrol department's office, a middle-aged man punched the wall with a dark expression as he said, "Damn, I have no idea where the intelligence department got the high-level permission from, and why they bypassed me completely to raid Bennett's gambling dens and brothels. I still don't know what they are investigating now. The intelligence department is not saying anything. They claim that it's above my pay grade!"
"Captain, what do we do now? Will they find out about us?" two men in the patrol department's uniforms nervously said as they wiped the cold sweat off their foreheads.
The man that they called "captain" put down his fist and swiftly calmed down. He shook his head. "Don't panic. Not many people knew about this, and the talks are always conducted in Bennett's teahouse. As long as Bennett is not being investigated, we will be fine. Furthermore, we have only received a very tiny portion of that money..."
The two heaved a breath of relief after hearing that. Their eyes even lit up when they heard the last sentence.
The middle-aged man continued, "However, we need to find out what caused this surprise raid first. Even if we don't help get them released, we will be able to handle the situation better if we know what is going on."
"Alright. We will go and try to find out more from the intelligence department now." The two of them swiftly strode off after hearing that.
The middle-aged man paced around in the room with a serious expression, and mumbled to himself, "I have to report to that lord about this situation. We have to suppress this. I wonder how many people would get exposed otherwise..."

Mag woke up early as usual. He turned off the alarm clock on the bedside table, and just as he prepared to get up, the two little ones jumped onto his bed.
"Meow~"
"The evil dragon roars!!!"
Mag looked at the two little ones lying on either of his sides while seriously pretending to be fierce. He couldn't help but smile.
