Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 1018 Eighty-five. King's Road Conflict

  The identity of the Giant Tree Academy and being in the event made the capture process smooth.

   The defendant, the defendant's lawyer, and even the trial judge were all listed as suspects and searched. While the city guards were searching the jury, news came from the police station that the defendant's lawyer died of a curse on the way.

   They accidentally come into contact with the dark side of Night City.

  Claire's event mission ends here, and the next developments are no longer related to Lu Li and Claire. When the Knights stepped in and the dawdling city guard and police chief were quickly investigated, it was only a matter of time before the roots were pulled out.

   "It won't be long, just a bunch of blind mice.

  Claire's identity allows her to not have to worry about being pressured from the top. As for Lu Li? He should be glad he didn't pursue those rats.

   "Let's go back and wait for news."

  Claire stretched her lazy waist, untied the broken bandages one by one, showing a dark red rune surging with some kind of strange power, which was blocked by the rewound bandages.

   On their way home, they passed through the King's Road. When they approached the intersection, they found that the street was under martial law, preventing the people from passing through.

  Claire's bandages were tightened and loosened. Martial law was not aimed at them, and the entire King's Road was temporarily blocked.

   She looked in the direction of the central city: "Midnight church or royal family travel?"

   Soon, Claire got the answer from the whispers of the surrounding people: The Bloodline Family Alliance, one of the participating camps in the Top Ten Tournament, arrived in Midnight City.

   At the end of the line of sight, in the direction of the outer city, a row of convoys are slowly approaching.

  Brown and red horses approached with the luxurious carriages bearing the seals of the family emblem. The purebred, uncontaminated horses arouse more admiration than the carriage itself and its invisible presence.

   Breeding pure horses is time-consuming, pointless, and costly, but it does resemble the behavior of a bloodline family that maintains its own true aristocracy.

  As the riders and carriages pass by, the public will pay attention to the silhouette of the horses in the convoy.

  These young nobles are proud and elegant, well-dressed and handsome. They should be the contestants of the Bloodline Family Alliance.

   The impressive clan emblems passed by, approaching the end of the convoy, and Claire beside him suddenly tensed up.

   At the same time, Lu Li felt an indescribable nausea.

   "Release the cursed title! Attack the exorcist... I don't know."

The tail sound of    floated in the air and was shattered by the explosion. Claire, who turned into an afterimage, rushed into the convoy, and the martial law city guards were knocked and rolled like a piece of paper.

The    fist shadow smashed down, and the gust of wind wrapped the cloak and lifted it, revealing a horrified face with residual resentment.

  嘭—

   The whine of the mount came to an abrupt end, and the legs of the figure and the figure turned into indistinguishable flesh mud, splashing on the road, walls and the armor of the city guards.

"who are you…!?"

  The young man who lost his legs fell into the graffiti-like blood mud, gritted his teeth and roared, trying to impose a blood-borne curse like a trapped beast, and then suddenly saw a shimmering sapling behind the outline of the black robe coming.

   "Master!" The fearful young man froze.

   More importantly, he remembered the cold drink when Claire rushed over.

  The Exorcist…

   "Despite the curse, you must die first."

  Claire whispered indifferently, her beast-like pupils staring at the young man who was standing in the pool of blood.

  Pure power can be said to be incomprehensible to a certain extent, but unfortunately the advantages and disadvantages are equally significant.

   In the face of rituals, pollution, and curses, this power is almost indistinguishable from ordinary people—but Claire's alchemist mother makes up for it.

   But when he knew who the enemy was, the young man no longer wanted to fight back, and his pale face waited with excruciating pain.

Da da da-

   A snow-white stallion without the slightest variegation broke into the conflict.

   "The exorcist... Lu Li, right?" The quiet Alexis Mengsk looked down at Lu Li: "I have long admired the name. I am Alexis Mengsk, the son of the contemporary patriarch of the Mengsk family."

   The convoy in front continued to move forward, and the convoy behind was forced to stop, and some sights fell. Compared with the "surprised" and "longing" of the people and the city guards behind them, these eyes were full of mockery, admiration, indifference, and much interest.

  Alexis Mengsk turned to look at Claire, recognizing her identity from this sheer power: "Daughter of the mother dragon...why hurt the members of the Mengsk family."

   "You should ask what your family members did."

   "Saoud."

   Alexis Mengsk tilted his head slightly.

   The young man with the broken leg, who was sweating heavily in pain, twitched his lips: "They ruined my business...Leave a breath, I didn't know it was the daughter of Lu Li and the mother dragon."

   "Looks like it's your fault..." Alexis Mengsk looked back at Lu Li and Claire, his quiet eyes swept across the fading saplings behind Lu Li and the tender buds that burrowed out of the cracks of the flagstone road.

   "The Mengsk family won't cover up criminals, we'll punish Saud—"

   "Want to take away the human traitor who attacked the exorcist?" Claire interrupted rudely. She had dealt with the bloodline family a lot when she was young, and she knew what they were thinking - maintaining the majesty of the bloodline family.

   All punishments outside the family are lynchings and an affront to the dignity of the family.

   But this time it was different. On the opposite side was Lu Li, the daughter of Chris.

   After a brief silence, Alexis Mengsk showed a gentle smile: "Then how about leaving it to the Knights? I think they will judge fairly."

  Claire looked at Lu Li and nodded lightly, "Yes."

  The knights of the Knights of Honor who rushed to the surroundings and waited for the result were able to approach and rescue Saoud, who was in a coma due to ischemia.

   Alexis Mengsk let the knights take Saoud, who had become a disgrace to the family, and stared at Lu Li with dark blue eyes.

   "Exorcist, see you in the March competition."

  The young aristocrat pulled the reins gracefully and returned to the front to lead the family motorcade onwards.

   "Noble family of idiots", Claire called the fading motorcade: "They're like moths, never taking responsibility, just ingesting endlessly."

   But this idea is biased - the bloodline family is always on the front line against the weird.

   Although their pride is really unlikable.

   "Even if you are just an upstart like a nouveau riche in their eyes, it's ridiculous, right?" Claire grew up listening to the legend of Lu Li, and the reputation of Lu Li in the bloodline family is obviously not as admired by the public.

   "I thought that the ancient blood family would have basic literacy etiquette." Lu Li retracted his gaze, his eyes drooped slightly, and he fell to the street in the blood-colored coat.

   "Well, these guys aren't all bad guys." Claire shrugged and looked away, seeing the **** rut left behind by the carriage: "What did you find?"

   "The horse is innocent."

"what?"

   "Next time you can directly attack the murderer."

"Understood!"
