The reporters, who didn’t know what was happening and couldn’t hear what they were saying, still stared eagerly at the two, especially Ji Mingjiang, who was leaning on His Majesty’s noble shoulders. Their curiosity almost trickled down to the ground and then followed the two men’s trouser legs.

Some journalists came with live streaming equipment, and at this time, their live broadcast room was full of barrages of people talking about everything.

After all, as ordinary people who were basically not exposed to these political struggles on a daily basis, they might not be familiar with Bisnar Orfield, and they might not care about the deeper meanings behind each of Clarice’s actions, but they were all too familiar with Ji Mingjiang, who had appeared most often on the various platforms of the Star Network in a recent period of time!

Every morning, the beastmen would unwaveringly open the live broadcast room. Even if they are busy at work, they will still hang in there and listen. Ordinary people who are not troubled by manic periods are also accustomed to going to the live broadcasting room of the little mermaid to relax and unwind after the busy work and study. They are very familiar with his gorgeous and delicate tail, which looks good to the touch.

So when Ji Mingjiang hurriedly stepped out on two legs in a form they were more than familiar with, the shocked disbelief and various speculations in the hearts of the crowd even rushed the StarNet’s servers into a lag for a few seconds.

Until now, looking at the scene of Ji Mingjiang talking to Clarice, who was less than half a head taller than him, the viewers who watched the live broadcast in front of the screen still felt a bit ridiculous in their hearts.

Why did their cute little mermaid grow so tall in the blink of an eye? ? ?

Oh, wait, that’s not quite right. Should they now be shocked that the little mermaid they have been paying attention to for a long time suddenly grows two legs…

[Forget it; why do you care about this? No matter what Cub Jiang becomes, he will still be my most familiar and favorite little mermaid! ]

[That’s right, it’s better not to discuss Cub Jiang on this occasion. I feel that the direction of the development of things today may be beyond our imagination. His Majesty’s expression is so serious. I haven’t seen his expression so terrible in a long time.]

[Although I quite agree with the previous speculation, I have to say… don’t act like you have met His Majesty Clarice many times. His Majesty clearly doesn’t give interviews or appear on social media except for New Year’s Day.]

[But His Majesty has appeared in Cub Jiang’s live broadcast room many times! Although it doesn’t take long…]

[…]

[Okay, stop arguing; His Majesty is here! ]

“…In order to prevent misunderstandings, I would like to briefly explain that there are two main reasons for the appearance and actions taken today in the Orfield house. Firstly, it has been found that Bisnar Orfield intended to rebel, and the evidence has been collected. Secondly, Bisnar Orfield attempted to kidnap a mermaid. The mermaid here refers to Ji Mingjiang, who shares the same set of evidence as mentioned above. Thirdly, Bisnar Orfield is accused of torturing a member of the royal family. These charges are all true. After returning to the palace, the royal family will issue a statement. After the subsequent investigation is completed, the results will be promptly reported to everyone.”

Looking at the various camera balls flying in front of him and the speaker that was about to be raised in front of him, Leiden gave a rough summary of their investigations and thoughts during this period without changing his expression.

His calm voice rang out, and next to him were the people still being escorted from the Orfield mansion. The huge formation effectively served as evidence for what Clarice said.

Looking at the crowd that was almost sluggish after listening to this series of words with too much information, Ji Mingjiang rolled his eyes, walked up a few steps, and effortlessly took the controller from the unconsciously relaxed hand of a reporter.

Maneuvering a camera ball in mid-air closer to him, he said, “Well… Clarice has pretty much explained everything. I’m afraid that not saying anything will cause everyone to worry or misunderstand, so I’ll mention it here first. The fact that a mermaid can transform into human legs is actually a normal situation. There is no such thing as a mutated human experiment that you may think of. If you have any other questions, you can raise them tomorrow morning during the live broadcast.”

After saying that and shoving the controller back into the hands of the dumbfounded little reporter, Ji Mingjiang retreated back to Clarice’s side. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Bisnar Orfield, who was still unconscious while being held by someone. He frowned and said softly, “Should we go back now? It will take a few hours for Kiro’s treatment to end. Lin Feng said that the treatment cabin can be left here with us for now, and he’ll come pick it up afterward. And…why hasn’t this old guy woke up yet? Do you need to show him?”

Calling Bisnar Orfield an old man is not a deliberate attempt by Ji Mingjiang to degrade him. After all, although he still looks like a man in his prime, in the interstellar age where the average life expectancy is 200+, his age of nearly 150 is indeed old. It’s only because of years of pampering and maintenance with various advanced medical technologies that he looks like a person who is about a hundred years old.

“Go back directly; nothing will happen here.” After answering his previous question, Leiden looked at Bisnar Orfield with the same uncertainty.

To be honest, he didn’t understand why this person hadn’t woken up yet.

In his brief period of consciousness, Kiro told him about the counterattack he had made against Bisnar Orfield. But this guy was a beastman after all, and blocking his breathing for a few minutes might put him into a state of brief coma, shock, etc., but it will definitely not kill him.

When thinking about this question in his heart, Leiden’s gaze didn’t stray from Bisnar Orfield’s body. Under his gaze, although they knew that they weren’t the main recipients of that gaze, the two guards who carried Bisnar Orfield in order to show his wretched appearance to the reporters and their cameras tensed up and didn’t dare to move a muscle.

This situation made Bisnar Orfield’s twitching face muscles and fingers especially noticeable.

Leiden’s eyes narrowed, and he turned to look at Ji Mingjiang. The two of them happened to lock eyes.

Ji Mingjiang nodded slightly, obviously also noticing something unusual about Bisnar Orfield.

“Let’s go take a look.” After saying that, he took the lead and walked over.

As Ji Mingjiang gradually approached them, the two guards became visibly more nervous. Although their eyes were still looking straight ahead, their lips were pursed into a straight line, and their foreheads and temples were also oozing beads of sweat under the cool autumn wind.

—It’s His Highness Mingjiang! Mermaid! ! A mermaid that almost no one has direct contact with except His Majesty and Mr. Rowlett! ! !

—Help, he is so close to me. Will the gun in my hand scare him? Wouldn’t it be better if I quietly put the gun back?

—What is His Highness doing here? His Majesty Clarice is also here. Is there anything special about this criminal in my hand, or do they feel that I’m serious about my work and want to praise me? Am I going to get a promotion and a raise?

A series of barrages flashed through the hearts of the two guards coincidentally, and Ji Mingjiang, who sensed that their mood swing gave them a strange look, However, because he didn’t notice any negative emotions, he didn’t pay attention, and his attention was more focused on Bisnar Orfield.

Noticing that his fingers were still twitching even when he and Clarice stood in front of him, Ji Mingjiang dispelled any suspicion that the guy was faking a faint.

After sizing up the other party, a burst of mental power suddenly came out and rushed into Bisnar Orfield’s spiritual sea accurately and quickly.

Then, to Ji Mingjiang’s surprise, his mental power flowed smoothly without any hindrance.

—— Bisnar Orfield’s mental barrier was shattered.

Translucent fragments of different sizes were floating in his spiritual sea, emitting starry light around them. When they sensed the intrusion of strange mental power, they moved closer to Ji Mingjiang and made a move to stop him, but to no avail, and were directly knocked aside by Ji Mingjiang’s vigorous and majestic mental power.

The mental barrier is broken, and needless to say about the spiritual sea inside, it looks completely dilapidated and riddled with holes. The scarred wild boar became completely irrational. The cold eyes of the beast are full of violence and madness. When it sensed the intrusion of strange mental powers, it went berserk. Its white tusks skidded wildly and disorderly through the air, regardless of whether they hit the target or not.

Withdrawing his mental power, Ji Mingjiang didn’t close his eyes during this period, and he naturally saw Bisnar Orfield’s body, which twitched synchronously with the berserk wild boar.

Giving a gesture at Clarice, he stepped to the side before saying with a complex expression, “His spiritual sea was artificially damaged, torn completely; it was destroyed bit by bit, and if it were to be repaired, only a small portion can be saved.”

Without saying anything more, the two understand that with Bisnar Orfield’s status, who else besides Kiro has the patience and the opportunity to do such a thing that can be said to be ‘dripping water wears away the stone’.

“It seems that even if he hasn’t been in a hurry to pull any of these little stunts or hasn’t been caught by us in time, your brother will be able to get himself out of this on his own.” Only then would it probably be even more disastrous than it is now.

“No, wait…”

After lamenting, he felt that, although Kiro and Clarice didn’t have blood relations, they were truly a family. His ruthlessness towards the enemy and himself was almost carved out of the same mold.

Suddenly, Ji Mingjiang realized that something was wrong.

They seem to have reversed the cause and effect.

After confirming with Clarice that Bisnar Orfield had never been so impulsive in the past 100 years of stumbling and plotting, Ji Mingjiang carefully analyzed all kinds of things that Bisnar Orfield had done during this period and linked them to the symptoms of Clarice’s manic period…

“So it’s Kiro who has been destroying his spiritual sea until recently, when it completely collapsed; he has become more impetuous, and his instructions have become more direct and undisguised?”

The figure of the extraordinarily thin mermaid appeared in Ji Mingjiang’s mind. He muttered in disbelief, but his eyes became brighter and brighter.
