The development of the situation had clearly exceeded everyone's expectations—within just one hour, all the staff of the Imperial Capital Grand Library had experienced the theft of a collection in the Precious Solitary Tome Collection Room, an incensed Count Phoenix, and the young Alchemy Genius accusing Deputy Librarian Derunk of being the Traitor.
Everyone's heads were still reeling, but that wasn't the end of it.
Shortly, as Derunk declared that the person who instructed him to steal the books wasn't a force from outside Terra, but rather a 'bigwig' from the Upper City District, the entire Grand Library went completely silent.
A bigwig from the Upper City District might not be considered a real heavyweight to Count Phoenix, was it really not? Even if it were the Great Prince, he dared to drag the other party to His Majesty to file a complaint.
