Grandmaster Zhu Zhang finally addressed the shopkeeper, cutting off his internal speculations.
"Please rest assured, Shopkeeper Mu, justice will be served as soon as we have all the information required."
The Bestiary Grandmaster's response seemed appropriate for the course of an investigation, but Shopkeeper Mu felt that something was not right. He had already delivered a detailed account of the incident, and had even brought witnesses to testify on his behalf. Why was the girl not on her way to the dungeons by now?
"Grandmaster…" Shopkeeper Mu began to appeal, his voice was pleading, but the Grandmaster instantly raised a hand and waved it in a demand for silence.
"I grant the accused, Li Meirong, permission to step inside the hall," the Grandmaster stated, glancing briefly at the pale-haired man beside him as he did so. The scary looking stranger hummed approvingly.
