Chapter 2661: Arrested Again(2)

While it wasn’t technically true that all the Unknown Ores came from Yuan, since many were collected as a squad, there was no denying that Yuan was involved in all of them.

He silently stared at the Unknown Ores, wondering how he should tackle this situation.

However, before Yuan could say anything, another individual retrieved a second spatial cube and emptied its contents onto the floor, revealing another pile of glistening crystals.

This time, however, they were Unknown Crystals.

"These Unknown Crystals are affected by the same phenomenon, and they were also collected by you, Sergeant Yuan."

"Well? What do you have to say for yourself?"

"Let’s stop wasting time and reveal how you extracted their energy without the use of specialized equipment!" one of them shouted as he slammed the desk.

"..."

"Why are you staying silent? We can take that as an admission of guilt."

Yuan closed his eyes and took a deep breathe, looking as though he was prepared to reveal the truth.

Then, he spoke, "I’m staying silent because I didn’t want to waste my breath."

"What?"

They frowned at his words.

"You already said that you wouldn’t believe me, so why even bother?"

"So you’re telling us that this is all just a huge coincidence and that you’re not responsible for it?"

Yuan quietly nodded his head, leaving them speechless, as they really expected him to give in after showing him so much evidence.

"Listen carefully. I don’t know how you managed to do it, but this is a national-level security issue that goes far beyond this city! If the other cities discover that there’s a way to extract Limitless from Unknown Ores and Crystals without using any machinery, they’ll do everything in their power to obtain that method!"

"Then I don’t see the issue, since I can’t extract Limitless from them," Yuan calmly said.

Although his words might have sounded like a lie, he was actually telling the truth. What he extracted from the Unknown Ores and Crystals wasn’t Limitless, but Eternal Essence.

"You—!"

Just as one of the white-suited individuals opened their mouth to speak, another voice resounded from outside.

"W-Wait! You can’t go inside, General—!"

Bang!

The door suddenly swung open, and two individuals walked into the room.

"General Mei? Ironwoman? What are the two of you doing here?"

"I think you know very well why I am here," Mei Feng responded with a slight frown on her face.

"Even if you’re a General, you cannot just barge into this facility as if you own it, General Mei. Also, we have full authority to arrest someone."

"This isn’t his first time being targeted, so I am just doing my due diligence," Mei Feng said. "If you have a valid reason for arresting him, I will not intervene."

She scanned the room, trying to understand the situation, but it only left her more puzzled.

"They think I can extract Limitless from Unknown Ores and Crystals," Yuan suddenly spoke, revealing the reason they arrested him.
