Chapter 225: What's Wrong
Of course, the tip-off to Todd’s superiors wasn’t done through official means.
The preparatory paperwork required to run a search for prohibited articles like this investigation was not an easy task if done through official means.
Just obtaining a search warrant alone required multiple levels of approval as well as all sorts of verification. Moreover, with a backlog of higher-priority tasks that needed dealing with, it would take at least a week for such a warrant to be approved.
Launching an official investigation of a casual tip-off was just impossible.
The Official Knight by the name of Francis that Tod spoke of, together with his companions, were all from Todd's grandfather's faction and took orders from his grandfather’s subordinates.
Simply put, while they were Todd’s superiors on the surface, in truth, they were just the lackeys of Todd, a third generation knight.
Now, the grandson of his superior’s superior had asked him for a small favor.
—— Seizing a bookstore owned by an ordinary person whom no one had ever heard of was a piece of cake for transcendent beings like them. The case would naturally be closed as long as they completed the subsequent formalities and kept the bookstore owner’s mouth shut.
The higher-ups of Secret Rite Tower were busy people. As long as this was done quickly and cleanly without making a scene, nobody would care.
Furthermore, their direct superior was part of Secret Rite Tower’s higher management. It was much easier to do stuff with his shielding.
——
Francis was a Pandemonium-rank Official Knight. According to the rank system in Secret Rite Tower, the Official Knight title was higher than an Apprentice Knight, which was in turn higher than a Knight Trainee.
Of course, a knight’s grade wasn't a good representation of their strength. There were also many Pandemonium-rank Knight Trainees, and as for Official Knights... Any authorized personnel of Secret Rite Tower not appointed as a Great Radiant Knight was an Official Knight.
At this moment, he was 'on a mission.'
Francis led his men into an ordinary bookstore, ready to seize it immediately, to give the Great Radiant Knight’s son the perfect end he desired.
