´Brat, don't waste my time." Mantis said coldly, "We know it was you who stole our artifact. You should feel grateful that our merciful vice leader has decided to buy it from you instead of retaliating against you for what you did."
"I think you have got the wrong person." Levi still denied.
He knew that the moment he spoke about this subject and gave himself up, it might give legal grounds for the Sunstrike Agency to come after him for the artifact.
Getting recognized for his nightmount, clothes, and weapon was one thing, but giving out a confirmation was another.
After all, nothing was conclusive in this new era, with the powers to shapeshift being rampant.
However, if Astra AI was involved, she could snitch on Levi even if he wasn't recording anything.
Fortunately, involving Astra AI required a warrant, and Levi knew neither the vice leader nor Mantis had grounds to secure it as long as he kept denying his involvement.
