Chapter 381: Chapter 333: A Penny Stumps Mr. Sun_4

This also triggered a chain reaction: herb gatherers entering the area would inevitably suffer huge losses. The command office sold quotas for gathering herbs, but in the end, gatherers suffered heavy losses without increasing their harvest, which would inevitably affect the market for such quotas.

Perhaps after the first time, they might feel it was not worth it and would not buy quotas again.

The subordinates saw Owen Bertram’s face becoming increasingly solemn along the way, thinking he was worried about Extinction Domain’s defenses, and they dared not disturb him by talking too much.

It was not until they finished their patrol and returned to the Prescott Group at Looking Cloud Cliff that Owen Bertram suddenly saw a cell and had a flash of insight: That’s it!

Without any expression, he asked, "How is the interrogation of the heavy criminals in the dungeon going?"

Darcy Darren was stunned, because after those people were brought back, Owen Bertram purposely left them alone and never issued any orders to interrogate them, not even deciding what their crimes were.

However, Nathan Lane, who was standing beside him, immediately understood Owen Bertram’s intentions, bowed and said, "The subordinates underneath have been inefficient, and there have been no results yet. I will go and hurry them up."

After a pause, he tentatively asked, "These lunatics dared to rebel against our Horizon Bureau’s conscription, no matter what their background, they must be severely punished, at the very least, they should be exiled to the frontier to fight the Demon Clan to death!"

Owen Bertram nodded, "That’s fine."

Nathan Lane immediately went to deal with the matter, while David speculated what kind of damaging idea his master had. However, in order not to bring disaster upon himself, he wisely kept his mouth shut and pretended to know nothing.

Nathan Lane entered the dungeon, knocked the cages with an iron ruler, and shouted loudly, "Bring out the prisoners in the dungeon!"

These cultivators in the dungeon had almost recovered from their injuries, and being in the Fourth or Fifth Great Realm, none of them were fools. They gradually figured out why they were imprisoned for so long— they found out some secrets that the important official didn’t want others to know!

They were from three sects: Divine Strategy Alliance, Illusionary Monastery, and Dragon Emperor Hall. Each sect had a Fifth Great Realm cultivator, with Illusionary Monastery’s being Master Megan!

She was severely injured and left behind by Cecil Owen, thus preserving her life, but ended up imprisoned as a result. This made Master Megan often sigh: indeed, blessings and misfortunes are intertwined.

Dragon Emperor Hall’s Fifth Great Realm cultivator was Randolph’s junior brother, Everley, who was slightly higher in realm than Randolph but lagged far behind in terms of gifted beasts.

The one from the Divine Strategy Alliance was the most critical, he was Cecil Owen’s second disciple, Enoch. Among the disciples, his cultivation was even higher than that of senior brother Edmund, but due to his severe injuries in battle, he missed out on the most crucial Spiritual Treasure Embryo contest.

He didn’t expect that in the end, only he would survive, and he shared a similar sentiment with Master Megan.

The Horizon Bureau only sent Nathan Lane to interrogate all of them— actually, it was not an interrogation, but all kinds of torture or bizarre methods to force them to confess their guilt.

If they didn’t confess, what would happen? Being imprisoned here made them realize that not confessing would probably prompt the important official to find ways to completely make them disappear.

In the end, dozens of "heavy criminals" signed and acknowledged their confessions. This was achieved through the use of cultivation methods, once the pen touched the paper, they could not recant their confession.

They knew that from now on, they would be held in complete control by the important official. If they harbored any double-mindedness, this confession would leak out and make them enemies of the entire Horizon Bureau.

When Nathan Lane presented the confessions to Owen Bertram, he was quite satisfied. Nathan Lane, being a government official by origin, was indeed well-versed in handling such matters.

"Well done." After glancing at the documents, Owen Bertram put them down and instructed Nathan Lane, "Go talk to them about atoning for their crimes."

"Their cultivation levels are good, but just them alone isn’t enough. Let them go back to their sects first and get more people for me."

"They thought confessing their crimes would be the end of it? Our Horizon Bureau has the law of implicating others!"

"Especially that Enoch from Divine Strategy Alliance. Now that Cecil Owen, Edmund, and Sheppard Owen are all dead in the Extinction Domain, the Divine Strategy Alliance is left leaderless. If I let him go and he can’t bring back all the remaining forces of Divine Strategy Alliance, it will show his incompetence!"
