Meanwhile, in Alberesque.
At the Alberesque military district, n and his subordinates were interrogating the Eighteen Riders throughout the night within the walls of the
Security Department
n squinted at Jack and his men, saying icily, “Let me repeat. Two days ago, did you injure and kill innocent civilians at the Celestial Club and break
my nephew, Ceaser Goldstein''s leg?”
Jack replied monotonously, “I''ve told you many times, we are soldiers from the North, and you''re from the Security Department in the South.
“You don''t have the authority to arrest us, let alone interrogate us.”
“how insolent!” n bellowed
"We at the Security Department are in charge of soldiers who vite thew. Now, all you need to do is answer my question with a simple yes or no.
Jack remained unfazed. "If we are suspected of viting thew, then the North Army''s Security Department will be the one to interrogate us, not
you...”
Bang!
n struck the table heavily. causing the cups to rattle.
He red at Jack and the rest with a face that had turned ashen with fury, uttering in a stern tone, "What does it matter if I''m from the North or the
South Army''s Security Department? Since you''re suspected of viting thew, then you fall under my jurisdiction!
“Now answer my question. This is an order!
n''s rank was higher than the Eighteen Riders, and at the end of the day, he was still an officer in the South Army''s Security Department.
Jack had no choice but to answer, “We were indeed on a mission at the Celestial Club two days ago...”
n roared angrily, "You injured my nephew and so many people along with him, and you have the audacity to say that you were there on a mission?
Who gave you the orders to do this?
Huh?”
Jack and hisrades exchanged nces and did not say a word.
The General was the one who ordered them to do this, but they couldn''t very well expose their own General!

However, he never expected Jack to deny Penny''s involvement in this.
“B*lls*it! You''re North Army soldiers. If Penny Smith didn''t mobilize you, then who did?" n spat, disgruntled.
Jack remained calm andposed. "You should stop asking. We are not under your jurisdiction and you have no authority to put us on trial.
“From now on, no matter what questions you throw at us, we will not answer.
“Either you release us, or transfer us to the North Army Security Department. You have no right to keep us here.”
When n saw how disrespectful Jack and his men were to him from the beginning until now, he immediately hit the roof.
Heughed through his anger and said, “I have no right to keep you here?
