The supporting character's harem is very normal

Chapter 164 You want to die, right?

Lafien was now sitting on the ground for some unknown reason; her face was full of disbelief, and she stared into space aimlessly.

Lilith now spoke up: "Oy! Are you mistaken? My student hasn't even taken the pill yet; why arrest him?"

Laura now saw Lilith and frowned: "I'm sorry, Fifth Elder; this has a lot to do with the Empire's laws. Please don't cause trouble so I can complete the mission."

"After investigation, if Duke Lathel is truly not involved in dealing or using illegal drugs, we will definitely release him."

"Alright!" Lathel then spoke up: "Teacher, let me follow them to investigate. Anyway, I didn't do this. They will definitely release me."

Laura saw that Lathel was extremely cooperative and nodded, and this made her look at him warmly.

Then she glanced at Lafien, and upon seeing her sitting on the ground like a lifeless doll, she signaled her men to move.

The surrounding people slowly approached Lafien, but Lathel continued speaking: "Sorry, she seems a bit shocked. Can I let my teacher take her away?"

Laura glanced at Lathel, her eyes began to become annoyed: "Sorry, Duke Lathel, she is currently a suspect involved in trafficking illegal drugs, we cannot do as you wish."

"I understand, but she is a girl after all; my teacher is the Fifth Elder of the Enchanter Tower, and she will definitely not cause trouble for everyone."

"Let her help Lafien to the interrogation place."

Hearing that, Laura thought for a moment, then nodded, and she looked at Lathel even more warmly.

…

In the interrogation room.

Lathel thought that the interrogation room would be a private room with thick metal walls.

However, he was wrong, as this place looked like another rather luxurious room.

He was currently sitting on a sofa. There was also a cup of tea and a bottle of medicinal herbs on the table that gave off a gentle fragrance that made him relax.

Laura now entered the room, sat opposite him, smiled, and said: "Sorry for bothering you, Duke Lathel."

Lathel nodded and smiled: "It's okay, I'll help you. Ensuring the peace of this empire is the responsibility of every resident of the empire."

Laura nodded. She looked at Lathel and felt extremely pleased. She had interrogated many nobles, but their positions were not as high as Lathel's.

Of course, since they were nobles, they were all very arrogant, and they even showed signs of resisting and not cooperating with the investigation.

But this time is different, when interacting with Lathel, she felt very comfortable, completely unlike other arrogant and greedy nobles.

Especially the action of Lathel asking Lilith to help Lafien to the interrogation room.

No matter what relationship Lafien has with Lathel, in times of danger, he still worries about her girl's feelings and thoughts, which is something extremely worth cherishing.

Besides, Laura has been doing this job for more than 40 years, and although she is not completely accurate, she can tell that Lathel is a gentle and friendly person.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Lathel is pretending and creating a perfect disguise. However, people can lie, but their eyes can never lie.

Laura looked straight into Lathel's eyes. She felt that those eyes were extremely clear and bright, with a bit of red in them.

'Hm?! Red, red irises... probably a member of some minor tribe.'

'That is probably the case. After all, he was adopted by Duke Ryne and is not a local resident.'

She smiled warmly and said: "Duke Lathel, if all nobles were like you, my job would be very easy."

Lathel smiled and scratched his head, not knowing how to explain.

"Good!" Laura took out a scroll and a crystal ball: "Do you mind if I record the entire interrogation process?"

"It's okay, I'll follow your rules." Lathel nodded and said.

Laura's demeanor quickly changed as she became more serious. Now she frowned and asked, "Duke Lathel, please explain the appearance of that pill..."

Lathel was also extremely cooperative at this moment; however, he didn't know where Lafien got that pill from, so he could only tell her everything he knew.

After a while, Laura said thoughtfully: "Duke Lathel, do you have any enemies?"

Lathel knew what she meant, but he still asked: "What do you mean… Is someone trying to harm me?"

"That's right." Laura nodded: "According to Lafien, she doesn't know clearly what that pill is, so I suspect someone wants to harm you."

Lathel rubbed his chin and replied: "I've only been here less than a month, and I don't have any enemies... wait... Captain Laura, I want to ask, who reported this?"

Laura frowned, but she still replied: "According to the rules, I can't say the accuser's name, but I feel like I can trust you."

"The reporter is a man, his name is Alec. He's a pervert who likes to blow up his own 'daisy'."

Lathel: "…"

'Since when did Alec get that nickname?'

However, when he thought carefully, he said: "I feel like this pill came from Alec. However... I feel a bit confused. Why was Lafien able to contact him and trust him to that extent?

Lathel frowned. He felt that perhaps it was because of Lafien's misunderstanding of him that she was easily fooled by Alec.

"However, I also didn't trust that pervert, so I let my subordinates arrest him. Currently, he is also being interrogated in another office."

Lathel: "…"

He silently gave Laura a thumbs up. This kind of work efficiency is too great. She even dared to capture the main character for interrogation; this woman... was too tough.

"Okay, Duke Lathel, you are the victim in this matter, so I will not detain you."

Lathel waved his hand and said: "No, I feel like I'm a guest here; I didn't feel like I was being interrogated. "

Laura nodded: "Then… you can leave. This is the way to contact me. If you have any trouble, you can come to me."

After she finished speaking, she gave Lathel a small card, and he very politely accepted it, then put it in his pocket.

Going outside the gate of the Imperial security team's headquarters, Lathel immediately saw Alec also going out.

However, Alec's condition right now was a bit... dire.

"That is…" Lathel turned and asked Laura.

Laura nodded and said: "From the moment he reported to me that there was someone dealing in illegal drugs, I immediately detained him for questioning."

"I also don't believe he would be so kind as to help me catch criminals."

Lathel: "…"

He stared at Laura; he felt that this woman did not seem to be affected by the main character's aura.

It must be known that, for most people who come into contact with the main character, their IQ and EQ are reduced to negative numbers.

But Laura is different, as she is still very smart and able to deal with Alec.

"But why is his appearance so miserable?"

At this moment, there were many fingerprints on Alec's face, as if someone had slapped him many times.

His eyes were also bloodshot, and he looked at the members of the security team as if he wanted to tear them into a million pieces.

His gait was even more funny, his knees were tightly closed, and each step he took made him look like a person with diarrhea.

"Ah! Because he refused to say anything, I let my subordinates use a gentler method."

Lathel: ( ￣ ￣ |||)

'Is this the gentle method you talk about? It looks like Alec was beaten so much by you that his... 'daisy' was about to explode.'

Alec was also extremely angry at this time, and he really wanted to burn down this headquarters.

He was in his room, preparing to strengthen his magical energy, when he suddenly remembered that the pill he gave Lafien was a banned drug.

After that, he quickly went to the headquarters of the security team and accused Lafien and Lathel of trading illegal drugs.

He thought his plan was perfect, but in the end, Laura stopped him, and then... What followed was a 'dark period.

Alec was repeatedly beaten by four tall men; they even hit him in the face and forced him to reveal how he knew this.

Luckily, he was steadfast and only said that he found out about this by chance.

'Huh! It's okay for me to be beaten like this; perhaps now that idiot Lathel is even more miserable than me.'

'Ah! No, maybe he's about to be executed now. Hahaha... forbidden medicine with a dose 15 times higher than normal, even the Duke cannot avoid the death penalty.'

Alec was feeling extremely happy when he suddenly saw Lathel being very chummy with Laura.

Alec: "…"

Lathel: "…"

"You… you… you… Why are you here?" Alec stammered, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Lathel sighed. At first, he only suspected that Alec caused this, but now he can be 100% sure that Alec was the one who harmed him.

Lathel shrugged and said: "Ah! Because Captain Laura invited me to drink tea and talk a little about strengthening security in the Empire."

Laura also knew at this time that Lathel was intentionally making Alec angry; she also nodded and said: "That's right. Thank you, Duke Lathel, you have helped me a lot. I hope we can meet again next time."

She said this as she looked at Lathel and smiled gently.

Alec opened his mouth, his face filled with surprise. You must know that when he was captured by Laura, her face when looking at him was filled with contempt and disgust, and she didn't even look at him.

But now she showed her gentle side and also smiled towards Lathel.

Why?

Alec screamed: "No way, why are you here? You are a person dealing in illegal drugs; you should be arrested."

Lathel shrugged, showing that he didn't know either.

Laura then spoke up: "Duke Lathel is a good person; he was just harmed by others. Alec, even though I don't have the evidence to arrest you, you should hope that I can't arrest you."

"If not… your end will be extremely terrible."

Hearing that, Alec immediately trembled. Laura's eyes were so scary that it made him feel cold.

"Impossible! You... you..." Alec pointed at Laura and stammered: "He's the Duke, so you don't dare arrest him, right?"

"You should treat him equally, aren't you the captain of the security team?"

"I don't accept it; I want…"

"You want to die, right?" Laura frowned, her eyes filled with murderous intent, as she looked at Alec.
