Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 260

Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Jasper Drake and the Rules

A voice rang out, bringing the raucous scene to a standstill.

The noisy area fell silent in an instant.

Everyone realized that the personnel in charge of order in the safe zone had arrived.

The crowd looked toward the voice and saw Dexter Luther approaching, his face grim, with several personnel in tow.

His gaze quickly swept over the chaotic scene.

He noted the bizarre, human-shaped fragments of rock scattered across the ground.

Of course, his eyes also fell on the injured Crystal Lynn, whose face was pale, and the composed Seraphina Sullivan standing beside her.

His brow immediately knitted into a deep frown.

"Sullivan?" Dexter Luther’s tone carried a hint of a question. "What happened here? How did it get this chaotic?"

Seraphina Sullivan kept it brief. "It’s complicated, and I can’t explain it all in a minute. There are too many prying eyes here. How about we go somewhere else to discuss the details?"

She gestured with her eyes toward the surrounding onlookers, who were still pointing and murmuring.

Dexter Luther understood immediately and nodded. "Alright. Then come with me."

He signaled his team to clear the area and escort the involved parties away.

"Wait!"

Seeing this, the woman, who was still reeling from the shock, immediately objected.

As if clutching at straws, she shrieked, pointing a finger at Crystal Lynn and Seraphina Sullivan. "Officer! They’re murderers! They killed someone in public! They killed my... my husband! Arrest them! Throw them out of the safe zone! And this truck,"

She pointed at the broken-down truck, her tone becoming urgent, "is mine now! I’m his legal wife!"

Seraphina Sullivan: "..."

Dexter Luther glanced at the woman and stated officially, "Since you’re an involved party and have made an accusation, you’ll come with us, too. We need you to cooperate with the investigation."

The woman: "???"

She was dumbfounded, not having expected to be asked to come along.

「 」

Inside a temporary interrogation room in the safe zone, Dexter Luther got the gist of what had happened.

He looked at Crystal Lynn with a troubled expression:

"Crystal Lynn, I basically understand the situation. From the looks of it, you were acting in self-defense, and the fatal attack came from your pet, not directly from you. But..."

Dexter Luther’s tone shifted. "The safe zone has a clear rule prohibiting killing of any kind. It’s an ironclad law. Objectively, your actions resulted in a death, and it happened in front of everyone. The optics are terrible. And... this makes things difficult."

Crystal Lynn seemed to have expected this. She remained remarkably calm.

She just tightly held her younger sister Freya Lynn’s hand.

"I understand the rules. Whatever the safe zone decides, I’ll accept it. I only have one request: please protect my little sister, Freya Lynn. She’s still young and she’s innocent. As long as she is protected, I will have no complaints even if I’m asked to leave the safe zone immediately."

"Sister! No! I don’t want to be separated from you! I’ll go wherever you go!" Freya Lynn immediately threw herself into Crystal Lynn’s arms and started crying her eyes out.

The small interrogation room was filled with an atmosphere of sadness and helplessness.

Watching the two sisters, who relied solely on each other, Dexter Luther felt the situation was becoming even more difficult.

"You don’t have to worry too much. I can’t decide on the specific course of action." Dexter Luther sighed. "This needs to be reported up the chain. The final ruling will be made by the higher-level management of the safe zone."

After speaking, Dexter Luther turned to look at Seraphina Sullivan, his tone softening slightly.

"I have to say, Sullivan, I didn’t expect your Talent... to be so effective for healing. The way you treated Crystal Lynn’s wound looked very professional."

As soon as he entered, he naturally became the focus of everyone in the room. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
