Clovis and Erwin were sitting quietly in their cells as a middle-aged man came.
The officers, who happened to be patrolling inside the cell, were astounded.
"Sir?!"
"What are you doing? Hurry up and let them out!" The middle-aged man shouted.
"!!!" The officers were confused. Looking at the angry face of their superior made them panic. They hurriedly opened the cells.
Clovis and Erwin nonchalantly walked out of their cells.
The middle-aged man walked toward Clovis while lowering his head. "I am the chief of this branch. I’d like to offer my apology for all the inconvenience we have caused you. We’d definitely investigate this matter properly and arrest all the people who have wronged you. We have arrested the doctor and the staff involved in it, as well as discharged the subordinates who have wrongly arrested you."
Clovis shrugged. "I don’t really care. The officers are merely doing their job. Who am I to question the authority?"

Erwin had a smug smile on his face, as if he were saying, ’I told you.’
’Who am I to question the authority, my ass!’ The chief was fuming in anger inside his heart. Noel was probably the last person who could say that when the one who ordered him to release him was the president himself.
However, Clovis wasn’t that angry. He simply asked, as if nothing had happened. "So, am I good to go now?"
"Y-Yes, of course!" The middle-aged man was sweating after hearing that response. "Please follow me. We have prepared clothes for you to change into."
Considering they hadn’t put on their clothes when they were arrested, they ended up wearing prison clothes.
"This…" The chief rubbed his hands while politely asking, "I wonder if you can stop everything that is about to happen. We can’t afford to evacuate the entire city…"
Clovis noticed that his grandfather was probably the one forcing them to evacuate. Knowing his grandfather, it was most likely that this city would be destroyed.
He probably couldn’t stop this from happening, since if his grandfather took back his words, he would be seen as a pushover.
Hence, Clovis only shrugged his shoulders. "Can you give back those six hours of my time from getting wrongly arrested?"
The chief opened his mouth, but the words stuck in his throat. He wanted to say, "Such a thing is incomparable to evacuating the entire city, causing people to lose their homes,’ but those words might cause even more problems.
At the same time, Clovis had also learned what it meant to rely on his grandfather. This was probably his grandfather’s message to him.
He should be able to deal with his own problem. He didn’t mind helping, but he would only help in his own way.
Clovis might be able to handle the current problem by eliminating the doctor and the staff with Aileen’s help. Bailing him out was easy for Kanaria and the others.
The biggest problem was the record at Essence Bank. The only one who could influence Essence Bank was his grandfather.
It seemed that he had to be extra careful from now on. Even he felt bad about the fact that the entire city would be destroyed. Monetary value could be solved, but people definitely had sentimental value for their own place.
Fortunately, it seemed that his grandfather didn’t plan to kill all the people here. From the chief’s words, he realized that they must have been given a certain amount of time to evacuate the people.
Still, Clovis simply said, "If that’s all, I’ll take my leave here."
The chief extended his hand, wanting to stop him. Yet he could only lower it back before gritting his teeth.
Outside, Kanaria and Ragna were waiting for them. There was a woman in her late thirties who talked to them earlier. Unfortunately, Clovis had told her not to get her out for a bit because he wanted to see his grandfather’s reaction first.
"Hello, Clovis, Erwin." The woman came to them.
Clovis nodded his head.
Now that they were out, the woman asked, "Would you like to sue them?"
"Will it be troublesome?"
"That depends on your definition of troublesome."
"I mean, taking too much of our time."
"Considering the problem, you most likely need to visit the court. It doesn’t seem that Essence Bank plans to end this publicly, so I think they’re planning to settle it off the court."
Clovis thought for a moment. If it was about the compensation, he believed that it would go to his grandfather. Although it was a shame that he couldn’t get more money, he at least understood the power of his grandfather.
"Alright. Let’s drop this matter right here. Thank you for coming all the way here."
"I understand. And I’m here to pass a message on to you. She will call you at night."
"Okay, thank you."
As soon as she left, Clovis turned to Kanaria. "I’ll be explaining everything later. Let’s go back first."
Erwin asked, "You’re not going to see that doctor? If you want to take revenge, slapping his face is quite satisfactory, you know."
"Why am I supposed to do that?" Clovis shook his head. Even though he reacted that way, he also added, "By the way, call Aileen later. It’s not a big deal, so it doesn’t need to be her."
"Alright. It’s better to shut them up for good." Erwin looked a bit surprised to see such ruthless action from Clovis. Then again, this experiment might cause a lot of problems for Clovis.
In fact, the government had gotten involved. Who wouldn’t treat a Tier 9’s grandson badly? No, would the central government allow Clovis to leave their country?
What he didn’t know was that revenge was just a smaller matter in this scenario. He had to explain what happened to Aileen. On the one hand, he wanted to know more about her thoughts on this matter as well as that experiment. On the other hand, he wondered how much he should reveal.
