Chapter 196: Chapter 196: The 2nd Interrogation

Months ago in the Newer York System Academy, right after Beatrice and the others were unsuccessfully interrogated by the City Guards if they knew where Van would be hiding, Chris, the direct assistant of the Chairman of the Explorer Association was looking at the files of Van's friends.

"Tch," a breath of disdain could not help but come out from his mouth as he reviewed the files, "I was right, this boy truly is a leech. He is friends with a Lauder as well as the granddaughter of Madam Charlotte?"

Chris started flipping on the files, trying to find if they missed something that they could use. His friends were obviously trying to help him by not cooperating with the City Guards. They could just force them by threatening to imprison them for obstruction, but since he was still in the Academy, it would be bad for the Association's image if the people were to discover that they were forcing students to cooperate with them.
