74: Upon hearing the news of his death, Gewas was puzzled.
At this moment, Roen's conjecture grew stronger and more certain.
Kula City's Knight Order, named the Wolf King Knights, was originally founded by the first Viscount Kula.
It was his family's private army, over which he had absolute control.
Unfortunately, after his death, due to his incapable descendants who couldn't control the Knight Order, the Kula Family gradually reduced its control over the Knight Order, ceding command to those sent by the royal family.
When Gevas was young, his father entrusted him to someone who brought him into the Knight Order for training.
His Wild Wolf Breathing Technique was learned at that time.
Because of his excellent performance, he and other outstanding members of that cohort were awarded the honorary title of "Wild Wolf Knight."
He was also exceptionally taught the advanced Breathing Technique of the Wild Wolf Breathing Technique—the Fighting Wolf Breathing Technique.
Therefore, Gevas has been proud of it to this day, even going so far as to buy a flashy but impractical alchemical wolf tooth necklace.
He wore it around his neck all day, afraid others wouldn't see it.
Later, most of the Kula Family's business names also incorporated elements of the wolf.
"If he didn't have wolf blood flowing in him, how could he love wolves so much?" Roen thought to himself, but then he frowned.
"However, what about the Saar Family's bloodline? Is it also a Magical Beast type?"
On the God-Given Continent, inherited bloodlines are generally divided into four categories: Magical Beast, Auxiliary, Elemental, and Rule.
The Magical Beast type, needless to say, causes the body to undergo changes after the bloodline is activated, gaining a portion of a magical beast's abilities.
The Auxiliary type helps one's own cultivation, improving various attributes such as speed, strength, and defense.
The Elemental type allows for elemental control, causing changes in the attributes of one's battle qi.
As for the last one, the Rule type... this bloodline is the rarest.
It is rumored that the Mande Royal Family possesses the Rule type bloodline.
"Hmm? The light is still on?"
After reading the information, Roen had planned to rest.
However, he found that the candlestick lit by the bullet fire earlier had not yet been extinguished.
So, Roen pondered for a moment, then took out Mirar's diary.
This notebook contained a large amount of information about the six great noble families and other high-ranking officials of various factions.
Roen carefully read for over half an hour until he had finished all the content.
Only then did he extinguish the candle flame and close his eyes.
The next morning, Roen woke up on time.
He had tried using the Sleep Meditation Technique instead of sleep last night.
As a result, his Mental Energy not only increased, but his state was also better than before.
Next, Roen, as usual, continued to serve as Litton's assistant, accompanying him in seeing patients.
Meanwhile, in the Security Officer's office, Gevas glanced at the time and couldn't help but frown.
"What time is it? Why isn't Mirar here yet? Is something delaying her?"
Gevas was a bit confused; the two had agreed to meet at eight this morning.
Now it was almost nine, and she still hadn't arrived.
However, based on his understanding of Mirar, she wasn't someone who liked to be late... Just as Gevas was considering whether to continue waiting or send a subordinate to find her, a sudden urgent knock came from the door.
"Come in!" Gevas frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Gesi? What's the rush?" Seeing that it was his personal secretary, Gevas's brows relaxed, and he asked.
Gesi, looking hurried, came before Gevas, bent down, and whispered, "We just received a report; Mirar is dead."
"Who?" Gevas was stunned, then suddenly stood up, staring intently at Gesi.
"Who did you say died?" Gesi's voice was heavy as he repeated, "Mirar, the lady from the Exchange."
Gevas found it hard to believe and couldn't recover for a long time.
After a while, Gevas managed to regain his composure and asked through gritted teeth, "What exactly happened? Tell me in detail."
Gesi collected his thoughts and recounted the events.
It turned out that someone had just reported the case; the person was Mirar's son, Mickey.
He told Gesi that he woke up from a hangover this morning and, upon returning home, found his mother lying in bed with a young man.
He wasn't surprised by this discovery and even had the leisure to calmly call for the two to wake up.
The young man, groggy, was roused from his sleep.
Upon learning Mickey's identity, he couldn't help but feel a bit awkward.
But Mickey seemed completely unfazed, even accustomed to the situation.
Seeing this, Daniel felt a bit strange but didn't think much of it, simply dressing in silence.
At this point, Mickey turned to call Mirar a few times.
At first, Mirar remained motionless, and Mickey thought she was sleeping too soundly.
So, he pushed her a few times.
However, Mirar still didn't move.
At this moment, Mickey realized something was wrong.
He turned her over, looked at Mirar's complexion, and checked for breathing.
Only then did he discover that Mirar was already dead.
"..." Gevas fell silent after hearing Gesi's account.
Although he had long heard about Mirar's conduct, he hadn't expected it to be so... open?
"So, did that Daniel kill Mirar?" Gevas's expression was solemn, and his tone was very grave.
However, Gesi shook his head, his voice a bit strange as he said, "No... No, it should be that we can't be sure; perhaps you should go and see for yourself."
Gevas raised an eyebrow, looking at Gesi with some surprise.
Gesi was his personal secretary, an old retainer he had brought from home.
He had always been loyal and straightforward, never hesitant like this.
However, Gevas didn't press further; instead, he hurried to Mirar's house.
When he arrived at the scene and carefully inspected it, he finally understood why Gesi couldn't be sure.
"From the looks of it, Mirar... seems to have died suddenly?" Gevas's face was complex, a bit doubtful of life.
Because Mickey, that filial son, was truly very filial.
After confirming his mother's death and during the time it took to report it and have people arrive, he made no moves at all, just waited quietly.
He even allowed his mother's body to lie there.
Forget clothes; he didn't even cover her with a blanket.
So, Gevas only glanced once and saw everything.
"No obvious wounds, no ligature marks on the neck, no signs of impact on the chest..." After inspecting, Gevas found that based on external appearance alone, there were no signs of homicide.
So, Gevas pondered for a moment, then told Gesi to summon the forensic doctor.
He, in turn, walked over to Daniel, who was sitting on the sofa.
"Are you the suspect?" Gevas asked in a deep voice, an invisible pressure emanating from him.
