One of the detectives took out a photo from the case file and gave it to Azzy, this time.

Captain Chester introduced him, "this is Jay Inkwell, the heir to the Inkwell family which owns several hotels, casinos, and clubs. In fact, Hotel Cycad where the homicide took place actually is his personal property, but there is something unknown to the public.

Ten years ago, Jay, victim Holly, and Orchard were once classmates, studied in the same college and course. Holly dated Jay for six months and broke up with him. About a month after they broke up, she and Orchard became a couple.

Maybe, he thought that she cheated on him and developed a grudge against both of them, who knows...

As I have already told you, the couple checked in the hotel at 9:37 p.m. while the murder happened at 11:53 p.m.

By a strange coincidence, Jay comes to the hotel at around 11:30 p.m. and leaves by 12:15."

Azzy and Claire\'s facial expressions changed immediately. Azzy asked, "How did the police miss this?"

"Naturally, they didn\'t." Captain Chester shook his head with a sigh, "But, they probably didn\'t enter his name in the case records because of his family background. Not to mention, the police had nothing against him either and this was an open and shut case. If they drag his name unnecessarily, it will only bring them disaster."

Neal then voiced her opinion, "but captain Chester, with new evidence, there\'s nothing that can stop you from arresting him, right?"

As the captain responded with a nod, Claire interrupted, "I\'m sorry but if everything is solved, why are we needed here?"

Something clicked inside Azzy\'s head. Before the captain answered her, he asked, "Are we going to fight against the Inkwell family?"

The Captain\'s face darkened, "Yes, but they aren\'t only the opponents we will face. The inkwell family won\'t stop us from arresting Jay but they\'ll create an accident on the way to protect their reputation. There\'s a reason no one dared to take this case and why it was dumped on us."

"So, in a nutshell, you want us to provide security to a culprit?" Neal furrowed his brows in displeasure. He added, "This wasn\'t what we were told before."

Captain Chester hurriedly waved his hands and explained to clear the misunderstanding, "No, Jay wasn\'t the only one in danger. We will be too. Once the escorted police and the detectives along with the culprit die, this case will be closed by our higher authorities and a new case will be opened to investigate our deaths.

It\'s a classic technique used by the noble and rich families of this country. The media was aware, the public was aware, and even the police department was aware of it but no one can do anything.

All I ask is to give protection to at least the policeman and the culprit until we present him at the court. One session at the court is all we needed where we can publicly present the new evidence that can turn this case around. After that, whether he lives or dies is none of our concern.

"Alright," Azzy didn\'t even take a second to think it through but not without conditions, "However, if an enemy accidentally dies while trying to kill us, we won\'t go around the courts and waste my time to give an explanation."

Previously, it happened in the mountains and they were Arcana Masters. But, it is different if an Arcana Master kills a civilian.

"You don\'t need to, Azrael. It\'s our organization\'s job to clean up that mess." Neal gave him the assurance.

"Moreover, we will be there as witnesses, right. Even if you kill everyone, no one will question you because that will be self-defense." A detective added a statement, giving full support in killing those people.

"Alright," Azzy nodded to them.

Meanwhile, Claire glanced at her boyfriend from the corner of her eyes. She was surprised to hear how casually Azzy was talking about killing. For a person who condemns killing even in a weekly TV drama, it is indeed very strange.

Is it because he experienced killing those werewolves? Or was this is his true nature?

Claire doesn\'t know what is going on with Azzy, but she felt he is different from before. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, only time will tell.

Soon, the captain made his move to contact the prosecutor for the arrest warrant and once it was issued, a police SUV and a mini-van hit the roads.

Meanwhile, at a certain villa, located in an affluent neighborhood in the city, a man had the look of panic with a feature phone at his ear. "Damn it. I need to leave this place, right away. But, how..."

As he thought for a bit, the image of a tough-built man appeared in his mind. He then went to contacts and clicked on the number.

On the third ring, the call was lifted from the other side. "Hello, Jay. What do you want now?" A deep voice was heard. It looked like the person was half-sleep.

"Boss Sean, I need your help. Money is no problem."

"Alright, tell me." The other person became interested.

Jay Inkwell talked with him for a whole minute before starting to pack his bag to leave the country by a portal point. The only issue is that it is more than 30 kilometers away from his place. Will he be able to get enough time to escape? He was worried.

So, he called his friend, the boss of a street gang who majorly dabbles in drugs and weapon supplying to stall the police in any way he can. While not powerful, they still had some rank-2 and rank-3 Arcana masters in the gang. So, Jay was hopeful that they will succeed.

After packing everything, he dragged his luggage and opened the door. The car was parked outside. The gates were also opened by the servants.

Just as he took three steps from the house, a person materialized behind him like some ghost. A large curved blade was seen before Jay\'s neck, not only halting his steps but also alerting the servants.

"Where are you going, Mr. Inkwell?" A voice belonging to that of a boy escaped from behind, but it sounded so cold like ice, unforgiving. "You have but two choices; face death while trying to escape or live while surrendering in peace."

Jay raised his hands and kneeled on the ground. "No, don\'t kill me."

Seeing that the culprit surrendered without any resistance, Azzy mumbled, "it looks like Claire was right in her prediction."

That\'s right. Claire was the one who thought of this plan.

She advised Azzy to go and keep an eye on Jay until the arrest order is issued. In the meantime, she and Neal will protect the police.

Just like she had warned, Azzy, who was keeping an eye on Jay while using the Erasure skill card, saw that he was trying to escape. So, he revealed his presence and threatened him.

Fortunately for Azzy, everything went well. Now, he needs to prepare for the next obstacle, which is to save Jay, the detectives, and the policemen from an unknown mob. Or so Azzy thought.

But, he didn\'t expect the arrival of media when the police and the detectives entered the compound of the villa, finding Jay on his knees.

Azzy was forced to dismiss the death scythe quickly and waited until the police handcuffed Jay.

It was then, he was suddenly surrounded by at least a dozen of them while the culprit was being questioned by two reporters.
