Joshua's military residence had barely touched the ground when he received a report from his subordinate.
"Have you found out why the patrol team was increased tonight?"
"Reporting to the Commander, it has been found out that the son of Duke Meisfield was ambushed, and many prohibited weapons were used in the battle, seriously violating the Empire's weapons ban. It has infuriated both the military and political circles, and they are thoroughly investigating the matter and have increased the security level of Capital Star."
"Was Mervin ambushed again?"
Nolan, listening next to him, interjected, "Big brother, your use of 'again' is really apt."
"Idiotic."
Joshua glared at his foolish brother and said, "Think about it; the newcomer's competition is about to start, and Mervin was ambushed. The purpose this time might be completely different."
It was then that Nolan realized and immediately jumped up, anxiously asking, "How is Mervin? Will it affect the competition?"
