There had always been a question about who truly governed the country. The four largest families had a great deal of power, so much so that the Emperor sometimes felt pressured by them.

But the Emperor had always shown the power he possessed. The imperial bloodline had always had great strength and power, which was why he was able to remain in the position of leader.

More than 90% of the Imperial family had the imperial level in their class.

But there had always been many events in which the opposite was shown. One of the four families would always make decisions that went against the Emperor and some laws, but they had so much power that it was always ignored.

Money, fame, and power, the four families had all of that, and no one knew whether they were stronger than the Imperial family or had simply given the Imperial family a great deal of money so that they would never intervene.

Shinomiya Arata was not afraid of that. He hated the four families and had always wanted a way to make some member of the families pay for what they did, which was why he issued the arrest order.

Amaterasu Akihito was enjoying himself with some naked maids. A maid quickly entered the room, her breasts bouncing as she ran.

She delivered the information about the arrest request to the Emperor, who simply ignored it. He did not care about it, which was why the four families did whatever they wanted.

"Nothing will be done? Tsukishiro will complain," the maid said as she bowed.

"I don’t care about any of them, let Shinomiya do whatever he wants, it will be fun to watch the leaders’ anger," the Emperor said as he caressed another maid’s nipples.

He only wanted to enjoy the bodies of those women.

Nothing else mattered at that moment.

Tsukishiro Kiyomasa immediately learned about his son’s arrest request. He tried to contact the city’s police force, but had no success.

The order came from the army, and the police could not go against it.

He had some contacts in the army, but no general would go against another general’s decision, that was how they all maintained their power.

The moment one general went against another, it would set a dangerous precedent.

He was pacing back and forth in the room. Yuki wanted him to return to bed, but he did not want to.

Knowing that his own son would be arrested was something he could not accept.

"What will you do then?"

"I don’t know, but I have to do something, our family’s image is at stake, no one will respect us in the same way anymore."

Yuki did not care about that. She knew they would still have all the respect they always had. They should just stay still and then act to get their son out of prison, but until then, they only needed to maintain the image of a united family.

Kiyomasa was very impulsive, and that bothered her, as he could cause some bigger problem.

Masaru was just laughing. He learned about the arrest order as soon as it was issued, he had some contacts at the city walls.

At that moment, he was more relaxed. The whole problem had passed, and the company was ordering more crystals with every passing hour. As long as he managed to make the deliveries, everything would be under control.

Amanda and the other employees were no longer at the guild. He gave everyone some time off, as he did not want the employees to get too tired and, at the same time, there was nothing else to be done at the guild.

He was personally taking care of the entire delivery. His security system was impenetrable, especially since Mio was there to defend the guild.

An email from Blue Moon was received, another order. Runa asked for them little by little, she wanted to know if he would be able to handle all of her requests in the long term, which was why she did not ask for everything at once.

Once again, he did not have all the materials, but they were all easy to collect, so he entered the dungeon and began collecting the materials.

Delivering them quickly would be good to have some funds to pay Haru and Hina, since it would take him a long time to receive the money from the electric company.

With a single strike in the air, he could kill all the monsters. It was boring, he felt no emotion, which was why he liked going to the lower floors, only there did he feel any emotion when fighting a monster.

Masaru drank a potion and began walking much faster. In less than half an hour, he managed to collect everything Runa wanted.

Haru woke up, he was in the middle of Hina and Mio, both of them completely naked beside him.

He thought about fondling Hina’s breasts, but restrained himself.

He spun the wheels.

And he had done very well by doing it secretly, since he had received a shipment of one thousand healing potions, one thousand mana recovery potions, one thousand speed potions, and thirty bottles of XP potions.

He stored everything in his inventory and then took out an XP potion. He drank it and received more than one million experience points, half the points he received when killing a dragon.

At that moment, he was level 23, and one million points was not much. The XP required to level up was very high, and he did not know how he would manage to level up quickly.

Going from level 1 to 2 was easy, less than three hundred XP, but going from level 23 to 24 required more than two billion experience points, which was why many adventurers lived in dungeons and remote areas to level up quickly.

The system was very cruel, and he hated it.

Hina woke up and looked at him with the bottle in his hand.

"What is that?"

"Just an energy drink," he did not want to have to explain how he had obtained an XP potion.

She got up, kissed him on the cheek, and went to put on some clothes. Mio watched this, she felt jealous once again, but she was more restrained and therefore managed to hide what she felt better when seeing the two together.

They went to the kitchen.

The guild was divided into three areas. The first was the open area where any adventurer could move around, such as the cafeteria, the bathrooms where they could shower and change clothes, as well as the training area and the dungeon.

The second area was reserved for employees, it had bathrooms, changing rooms, and some rooms, in case an employee wanted to use them. Sometimes, Kaede slept at the guild.

The third area was Masaru’s house, he had some rooms, all with bathrooms, the kitchen, and an indoor greenhouse. He grew some medicinal herbs in case of an emergency.

The kitchen had many strange foods.

"I wouldn’t eat that," Mio said to Hina, who was holding a package of strange cereal.

"What is this?"

"Cereal, but it tastes very sweet, you’ll become diabetic just from smelling it."

"Why would anyone eat this?"

"My father has a very high-calorie diet, he consumes a lot of sugar, so you’d better take my cereal that’s up there," she said, pointing at a bear-shaped cereal.

Hina looked at it and wanted to say how childish it looked, but restrained herself and said nothing.

They had breakfast and then went to Masaru’s office.

He was sitting down, all the materials were lined up as he packed them.

"Do you need anything?"

"No, take the day off, or enter the dungeon to train, that’s always good. I believe everything will return to normal soon," his tone of voice was much calmer than usual, and that slightly bothered Mio.

"Let me go, do you know who you’re dealing with?" Tsukishiro Kaito shouted as the police officers used equipment to reduce his strength.

They feared Kaito using force, the legendary-level swordsman ability would be a major problem to deal with.

Shinozaki was arrested without shouting or attempts to convince anyone.

Himura was too shaken to react.

The three of them were taken to the army prison, which was much more secure than normal prisons and, in this case, made it easier for Shinomiya to keep an eye on the three of them.

He was very happy about the arrest, very much so. He could barely contain his happiness, the smile on his face was noticed by the three of them.

"You caused a major problem for the city, the repair of the walls will be charged to you, the money you have in the bank will be confiscated so that all the damage can be paid for, in addition to covering any expenses the city may have," he said as he paced back and forth, his face turned toward the three of them.

"What do you mean?" Himura asked.

"We didn’t cause any problems and we didn’t do anything wrong."

"You still want to lie?"

Shinomiya showed a video of himself defending the city wall against the dragons, the monsters’ breath was responsible for destroying part of the walls and injuring some soldiers.

"The potions we used are quite expensive, so be aware that we didn’t hold back on anything."

"But what does that prove?" Shinozaki asked.

"These monsters were attracted by the excess mana that was generated by the rapid consumption of the crystals, you had no license and could have caused a major problem for the electric company, and that would cause an enormous problem for the city."

The three remained silent.

They did not know how the information had been leaked.

"Oh, we will also arrest your benefactor," he said with a big smile on his face.
