Chapter: The Ninth Unit was the direct force of the Old Holy King. The one who proposed disbanding the Ninth Unit was Eagle Marquis, and those who actually acted were the Old Holy King and Moon Goddess.
It had to be said that Su Xiao's identity actually owed a considerable favor to the Old Holy King. The Ninth Unit had reached a point where it had to be disbanded, and Su Xiao's identity would have been doomed without question.
The Old Holy King overruled the proposals of Moon Goddess and Eagle Marquis, going all out to protect Su Xiao. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been as simple as being thrown into a secret prison.
"Take this."
Su Xiao handed the document to Sonia, who subconsciously accepted it.
"The procedures still need to be followed."
Su Xiao stepped toward the other side of the passage and quickly returned to the cell.
Sonia exchanged glances with the two administrative officers. All three looked dumbfounded. In the end, they came to the cell door and stood on the steam door that had been cut into six pieces.
"Lord Kukulin, after deliberation between the Holy King and Lady Moon Goddess, you have rendered outstanding military achievements on the front lines. Although you previously engaged in improper conduct that led to various 'misunderstandings,' in light of your exceptional battle merits, the Arbitration Court has unanimously agreed that, as of March 11, 1537 of the Dawn Calendar, which is today, you are restored to freedom."
After reading the document, the administrative officer breathed a long sigh of relief. Finally, he was safe. He had fled earlier out of fear of being killed by mistake—the people of the Ninth Unit had a habit of directly executing suspicious targets.
Su Xiao took the document from the administrative officer. There was clearly some conspiracy at play here, but he had regained his freedom. What he needed to do next was find the Soul Speaker.
"This way, please, Commander Kukulin."
The administrative officer's address made Su Xiao think of numerous pieces of intelligence.
First, his release likely indicated that the empire's power structure was already in chaos. The title "Commander Kukulin" was quite thought-provoking.
