"You must be Mr. Bel."
After flipping through the documents and personal items on the table and confirming the homeowner's identity, Leon turned to look at the scruffy man being held down by Alger, and said calmly:
"Rest assured, we don't intend to harm you, we just wish to use your identity as a scholar in District 1 to help us with a little something."
"Hmph!"
Before Leon could make his request, the scruffy man snorted angrily and then said with a harsh expression:
"You're those criminals, aren't you? What is it? After attacking Administration District 3, you've now set your sights on Research District 1?"
"Yes."
"I won't take you there. Don't even think about it!"
The scruffy man was very stubborn, stiff-necked as he glared angrily at Leon:
"Research District 1 is the core of the entire Crolock Kingdom, and everything I have was given to me by the Kingdom. I absolutely cannot betray it!"
"Hmm, hmm."
