When battling the six-armed demon, Li Ang's arm was grazed by the Blade Wings, physically losing a large chunk of muscle, but the impact on his spiritual structure was just a scratch.

Though he unintentionally damaged his spiritual structure, the mafia's spiritual will was directly hit, and it can be assumed he will not recover, with his future thoughts and willpower affected.

"Sorry, this might be considered... excessive interrogation."

Li Ang said to Elaphia.

A momentary shock appeared on Blondie Douding's face. She glanced outside the jail and then at Li Ang's left arm.

The previous actions were mainly to avoid being seen by the Order Knights outside, and there was no such pretense in front of Aifei who was aware of the situation.

"Is it the Demon Curse's issue?"

She instantly saw the situation.

After receiving Li Ang's response, the blond-haired girl smiled gently at him: "It's okay, I'll handle it."

She pointed to the mafia boss: "Originally, he was supposed to stay in prison for a while and then be sent to the execution ground. Now, it's just a procedural error, and at most, I'll write a self-critique."

Nebis has no abolition of death penalty issues due to human rights thoughts. Even in the most civilized Holy City, criminals are reincarnated if they must be.

"Thank you for being willing to write a self-critique for me."

Aifei's cheeks flushed slightly: "What are you saying? Originally, this was an extra help from you, and I don't necessarily have to write it."

She sighed: "Our interrogation methods cannot achieve results in such a short time. To prevent greater conspiracies by the intruder, certain methods are impossible. Choosing torture was basically because there was no possibility of converting him to testify."

Li Ang turned back to the mafia boss and asked, "How did the Fairy Dragons enter the city?"

"I don't know."

"Saying you don't know, is it because you only handled the contact and provided the breeding grounds?"

"Yes."

"Why cooperate with the Fairy Dragons?"

"...Master's orders."

Elaphia said: "Just as the Order Knights suspected, this mafia is someone's tool for doing unspeakable things."

"The big shot, huh? Do you know who? Can you catch him?" Li Ang looked at Blondie Douding.

"Don't underestimate the Order Knights... If there's evidence, the case will be solved in no time."

Li Ang smiled at her and continued to inquire the mafia boss: "To whom do you pledge allegiance?"

The dark-skinned man did not respond directly but began repeating some fixed phrases.

"He gives me the living space, gives me food and water, grants me underground glory, I cannot betray him..."

"He's resisting," Elaphia said.

"I know, but—"

Li Ang frowned, remembering the bank manager from before, the Niu Nan at that time shouting for survival, to repay loans and family, considering the chairman, and wishing to keep secrets.

Li Ang had a feeling that, due to his excessive servility, he had formed resistance to spiritual driving.

But spiritual piercing is not a general weakening effect; Li Ang had personally experienced and knew what kind of damage it was. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for this dark-skinned man to resist.

"Wait a moment, let me inspect his spiritual structure."

Li Ang focused all his concentration and checked inch by inch through the spiritual horizon, ultimately finding something unusual in an obscure corner.

Unlike the alien spiritual attachments used by the demon, here the spiritual structure was "rerouted" during construction, even entwined many turns. Since it was all his spirit, it was hard to spot without close inspection.

Specifically, it caused him to express certain ideas differently and obstructed the delivery of some information.

Is this because his mastermind possessed the ability to alter thoughts from the spiritual level? Truly evil.

Uh, seems like I'm scolding myself.

Li Ang shook his head, unraveling and straightening this part of the spiritual knot.

The mafia boss's eyes alternated between confusion and clarity, finally settling into a fully spiritually driven controlled state.

"Now, are you willing to speak? Who is your master?"

"Lord Yosain Cha'Ain," the dark-skinned man replied.

Li Ang spread his hands to Elaphia: "We've caught a big fish, what next?"

"Yosain, he's really audacious! Bringing demons into the city, what is he trying to do?!"

Li Ang noticed the magic power surging from the blond-haired girl in front of him. She was restraining her fury, unable to stop her continuous cursing.

For instance, "This vulgar little fish from who knows where" and "Insulting the name of Cha'Ain," were repeated frequently.

The evaluations of Yosain by many high-tier Sky Knights weren't good. Even though Li Ang wasn't familiar with Yosain, he had heard some things, but the specific reasons were unclear.

After meeting this person at the Council Tower, Li Ang first learned his surname from the panel. At that time, he indeed felt that the surname Cha'Ain did not match the actions of this person.

Yosain always tried to act like a graceful noble, whether it's his posture or accent, it was all pretentious.

The founders of the guild were powerful adventurers who established the Holy Capital Vitas, Nebis' first city now, and logically, their descendants should either inherit the family studies to become strong or not need to flaunt their nobility. Three centuries of accrual is enough for them to exhibit their heritage effortlessly.

However, Yosain possessed neither, creating a sense of discord.

Li Ang hoped at the time that Yosain Cha'Ain was unrelated to the Cha'Ain known by Zoe's father, for this reason and others.
