Wales had become a key person in this whole matter.
If he had listened to the authorities and insisted that Ye Tianxin was the murderer, it would mean that he had become an enemy of the Empire. He would be seen as paying kindness with evil.
Wales was a financially astute person. He could sense the rising of the Empire from his business dealings.
The present Empire was like a sleeping lion that was slowly awakening.
Once the lion awoke, it would take the whole world by storm. It could send the world into chaos.
Wales remembered that an old friend of his possessed some information regarding some knowledge that the Empire wanted very much.
Back then, the Empire had sent people to negotiate with him. They offered an astronomical sum of money in exchange for the information.
