Throughout the journey back to the LionArk headquarters, Ethan crossed paths with a squad from the city security team.
He stopped them and briefly explained the situation, asking them to head toward the southern district to investigate.
He still could not be certain whether the woman he had encountered earlier was a scammer or someone truly in danger.
However, LionArk was both the ruler of the city and the guardian of its safety.
Because of that, it was only proper for LionArk to ensure the security of every resident, regardless of their intentions.
Whether they were genuinely threatened or merely skilled con artists exploiting people's sympathy, the city's safety apparatus had to treat the matter seriously.
"Understood. We'll go investigate it," the squad leader replied with a firm nod.
With that settled, Ethan and Sherly continued on their way. Not long after, they arrived at the LionArk headquarters.
