Chapter 1567: Chapter 846: Outpost Base in Turmoil (Part 2)

The second butler lay on the ground wailing, Black was perplexed: “What are you doing?”

The captain smiled at him: “Clearing the ranks at the outpost, if you know what’s good for you… stay away.”

Black slowly retreated, leaving the second butler crying on the ground: “Sirs, why have you suddenly turned on me?”

“It’s your deeds caught up with you,” the captain calmly dragged him away by the arm, the second butler dragged along the ground like a dead dog.

The second butler sensed something was off, he shouted loudly: “Black, save me! They want to kill me!”

However, Black had already returned to Kennedy No. 1, as if he had never appeared.

The captain looked at the other team members: “Among the officers, there’s only one B-Class Expert, the others are rookies, go capture the people, remember to break their legs before bringing them back.”

In the next moment, the team members dispersed, having lived here for three years, although they didn’t meddle in others’ business, they knew where to find people.

Black stood inside the floating airship, silently watching the Fire Line Team strike, crippling officers he knew one by one, then dragging them into the office building.

His eyes showed deep fear, lest this matter affect him.

At this moment, he saw someone standing in the shadow under the building, seemingly coldly watching him.

But when he looked again, the figure had already vanished.

The outpost suddenly underwent such significant changes, 1800 base soldiers were all asked to gather in front of the building, the small nobles who came to report were all as silent as cicadas in winter, none knew what had happened.

Mainly because the sight of those officers being taken away with broken legs was too tragic.

After the officers were taken away, along with 12 barons also being taken, their private soldiers wanted to block the way, but none could stop the Fire Line Team.

It was also at this moment that Qing Chen observed that the captain of the Fire Line Team was unexpectedly an A-Class Cultivator.

It was apparent that the Fifth Princess truly valued Marquis Bolton…

Of course, Qing Chen could understand, given just the appearance of Marquis Bolton, and his way of talking, it would be more than enough to charm the Fifth Princess.

After the arrest of the 12 barons, the entire outpost quieted down completely, in the past, there would still be white people holding pool parties by the airport runway, now the pool was empty and deserted, with not a single person.

In the office building, one whole floor had been isolated for interrogation rooms, Qing Chen did not participate in the interrogation of those barons, but instead had the Fire Line Team present evidence in front of them, while preparing a script for Marquis Bolton.

In the face of irrefutable evidence, 10 of the barons confessed completely, after all, they held titles of nobility, they wouldn’t face the death penalty, and would likely not even go to prison.

In just 20 minutes, the matters confessed by the barons were enough to nail those officers.

After nailing the officers, Marquis Bolton, under Qing Chen’s arrangement, took the confessions to the officers, turning them against the barons.

The involved amount grew from 4 billion to 17.1 billion, a truly terrifying number.

The captain of the Fire Line Team, overhearing this, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, actually exceeding the expected amount was a good thing, if this new Chief Butler could casually look at the accounts and accurately pinpoint the involved amount, wouldn’t this Chief Butler be more terrifying than the corrupt officers and barons?

Moreover, they had mistakenly captured two barons, Qing Chen double-checked the accounts before apologizing to Marquis Bolton, saying he made a mistake.

For Bolton, this small error couldn’t overshadow Qing Chen’s merits, instead making him more confident.

Those who make mistakes are just mortals, only mortals can be subordinates.

If he were to recruit an Immortal to his command, even his wife would feel uneasy.

This rapid interrogation lasted until 4 AM, Marquis Bolton was tired.

Originally, Qing Chen was worried the Marquis wouldn’t cooperate, but in reality, the Marquis had already entered some kind of “famous investigator” role, and had become addicted to role-playing.

Seeing those corrupt officers and barons confess one by one during interrogation, Marquis Bolton was too excited to sleep!

He knew the materials and evidence were organized by the ‘Chief Butler’, the interrogation process was also set by the ‘Chief Butler’, but it was still thrilling.

At 4 AM, the Marquis emerged from the interrogation room excitedly: “Finally finished, I have to tell my wife, they’re all nailed, the final involved amount is 19.2 billion, these people have profited from the war for 17 years, even implicated a higher-up marquis! The marquis might be demoted to baron, these 10 barons are doomed! I can get promoted to Marquis level 3!”

Qing Chen said: “Marquis, go call the Fifth Princess… By the way, those officers, as per our previously devised plan, need to be killed.”

The Marquis replied: “Kill them all, kill every last one.”

Once the Marquis left.

Qing Chen walked to the temporary interrogation room’s door, looking through the window at Officer Corgi inside.

He smiled at the Fire Line Team: “Kill them all.”

Inside, Officer Corgi was stunned: “Don’t kill me, I’ve said everything I needed to, don’t listen to this person giving random orders, he’s just a toilet cleaner!”

However, the Fire Line Team didn’t give him a chance, they walked in without using firearms, directly twisting his neck, saving the trouble of cleaning the room.

Qing Chen watched as the officers were executed one by one, then said to the Fire Line Team: “Thank you for your efforts, after the deed is done, those who understand the merit belong to you, all know your due credit, you can rest assured knowing your achievement lies securely in the records, no one will expose you.”
