Ling Cage: I am a spiritual master, devouring source matter to become a god.

"Jingyuan! What nonsense are you spouting!"

Lord Morgan's rebuke silenced everyone.

Jing Yuan stepped forward and said loudly, "Lord City Lord, I am not making a fuss! Right now, someone in the Lighthouse has openly violated the Three Laws, and their behavior is extremely egregious. I want to report this person to the Lord City Lord on the spot!"

Charles chuckled and said softly, "Captain Mark's violation of the Three Laws has already spread throughout the Lighthouse; we don't need you to report it!"

Jingyuan pointed at Charles and said, word by word, "The person I'm reporting isn't Mark! It's you! Charles!"

Charles looked puzzled. "You're going to report me?"

Jing Yuan stepped forward and said loudly to Morgan, "Lord City Lord, Charles, the leader of the Light and Shadow Society, has been using his position to openly use the Dawn Hall mission as a bargaining chip to win people's hearts."

"You're talking nonsense!"

Faced with the sudden accusation, Charles seemed somewhat flustered.

Jing Yuan calmly took out a pile of documents from his clothes. The first one was of the masked man, Loriev, who was participating in the breeding mission today.

"This man is named Lorife. Originally, Lorife was not supposed to be carrying out today's breeding mission. But he just happened to appear on today's mission list. And this Lorife is Charles's man."

Charles wasn't worried when Jingyuan brought up Loriev. He laughed and said, "Jingyuan, no matter whose side Loriev is on, doesn't he have the right to go to the Hall of Dawn?"

Jing Yuan, holding the documents, addressed the other supervisors, "As everyone knows, breeding tasks are of paramount importance in gene optimization. There's a strict formula for determining which two people will perform these tasks; this cannot be interfered with by humans. Lord City Lord, you can immediately send someone to the Gene Optimization Institute to investigate. Today's task should not have been performed by Loriev. Similarly, it shouldn't have been performed by Ran Bing. Their breeding tasks have been deliberately altered! And the person responsible is none other than Charles!"

At this moment, a person from the population management department stepped forward and said, "Ran Bing should not have been on today's mission. It's just that Vanessa, who was originally supposed to be on the mission, was killed in action, so Ran Bing is taking her place."

Jingyuan looked at the man, whom he didn't recognize. He seemed to be one of Charles's men, and stepped forward to defend him.

"Fine! Even so! Why today of all days?"

"There are established rules for assigning breeding tasks, so why ask so many questions?"

Jing Yuan walked towards the person and asked, "Then let me ask you! Can you get pregnant no matter when you undertake a breeding mission?"

"You ignorant brute! The probability of a successful breeding mission varies from person to person!"

"You're the one with no common sense!" Jing Yuan teased. "Pregnancy is indeed a matter of probability! Women can only get pregnant during ovulation, but even then, the chance of conception is only 10%. That's why the medical institute regularly collects data from the public, and the gene optimization institute uses this data to accurately calculate the optimal time for conception, increasing the chances of getting pregnant. This window is very short, with the highest probability occurring only two or three days a month. You can check now to see if Ran Bing is currently in her optimal time for conception."

Before this, Jingyuan had found out Ranbing's menstrual cycle through Penny, and after calculating, it turned out to be her safe period.

So that's the reason he used!

If Ran Bing happens to be in her fertile period, then she should use another reason.

Jingyuan's words silenced the entire hall.

Only Dr. Carrie broke the silence, laughing, "I didn't expect the vice-captain of the Hunters to be so knowledgeable about female physiology. But he's right, to prevent people from becoming overly obsessed with lust, we choose to conduct breeding missions when women have the highest chance of conceiving! To reduce the frequency of missions!"

Then, Carrie said to the staff at the nearby medical clinic, "Pull up Ran Bing's data and take a look!"

They could view the data on their portable computers. The employee entered Ran Bing's name, and the information appeared on the computer. He looked at everyone and said, "Ran Bing's best breeding time is in seven days."

Jingyuan glanced at Jiali, not expecting that this woman would actually provide an assist.

Jing Yuan addressed Morgan on the platform, saying, "Lord City Lord, the purpose of the breeding mission is to produce offspring. If Ran Bing is not at the optimal time for conception, yet she was assigned a mission to the Hall of Dawn, isn't that a bit strange?"

"With so many people on the Lighthouse, how could everyone be scheduled on time?" the lackey of the population management department continued to argue.

Charles retorted dismissively, "It's just a scheduling oversight, what does that prove?"

Jing Yuan looked at Charles and smiled, "What does this mean? It means that you, the head of the council, can't wait any longer. You must arrange for Ran Bing to enter the Dawn Hall today."

Jingyuan's words were very targeted.

No one else understood, but Charles did, and so did Morgan.

Morgan glanced at Charles at this moment; he was already beginning to suspect Charles.

Charles, oblivious to Morgan's gaze, continued arguing with Jingyuan, "Fine! Even if what you say is true, how do you explain Captain Mark's intrusion into Dawnhall? What you're saying is just your speculation. But Captain Mark's intrusion into Dawnhall and the injury of so many priests were witnessed by many people."

"Oh?" Jing Yuan chuckled and said casually, "Why is the head of the organization so eager to convict Captain Mark? Breaking into the Dawn Hall? We were just stopping your dirty deal!"

“You’re talking nonsense!” Charles exclaimed angrily when he couldn’t win the argument.

Morgan didn't look at Charles, but at Mark, and asked, "Mark, is that so?"

Jingyuan turned to look at Mark. At this moment, Mark's answer was crucial.

Mark hesitated for a moment, then answered, "Yes."

"Then why didn't you report it to me directly?"

“Lord City Lord!” Jing Yuan interjected, “Now, the city defense forces, the Dawn Hall, the Population Management Department, and the War Loss Supply Department on the Lighthouse are all Charles’s men. If we wanted to report through normal channels, this news wouldn’t reach your ears. So I informed Captain Mark first. Captain Mark is a man of strong character; since it concerns our Hunters team, he resorted to this tactic—breaking into the Dawn Hall to stop the transaction first, and then coming to report to you!”

Mark and Jingyuan's answers left Morgan speechless.

He wanted to save Mark, but the current situation was that if he saved Mark, he would have to give up his own son.

"Nonsense! It's clear that Mark and Ran Bing violated the Three Laws and secretly got together! Mark didn't want to see the person he liked go to the Hall of Dawn, so he broke into the Hall of Dawn to stop the breeding mission!" Charles said angrily, revealing the truth directly.

"So this is your real purpose in arranging for Ran Bing to go to the Hall of Dawn? You deliberately provoked Mark to break into the Hall of Dawn?" Jing Yuan didn't tolerate him and directly exposed Charles's conspiracy in front of Morgan.

"No wonder! In the past, there were at most two supervising priests in Dawn Hall. Today, however, there are more than 30 priests inside, and even Sharif is among them. Why would so many people be arranged for a simple breeding mission? Could it be that the Chief had some kind of premonition that Captain Mark was coming to Dawn Hall? So he specially arranged so many people in the corridor to stop him?"

Chapter 96, do you dare to read it?

Mark was taken aback by these words. He had never been to the Hall of Dawn before and assumed that the Hall of Dawn always had that many people.

But upon closer inspection, it becomes clear why so many people are needed for a breeding task!

Now he understands, they were all waiting for him.

Charles gritted his teeth, but he quickly composed himself and said, "So you admit that Captain Mark and Lieutenant Ran Bing are a couple, just like Sister Mark, Hong Kou, and her Lieutenant, Po Xiao, were a couple back then. Ha, the captain and lieutenant of the Hunters, they really are a match made in heaven!"

"you!"

When the topic of Red Coconut came up, Mark couldn't contain his emotions!

Jingyuan gestured for Mark to be quiet, then walked to the front and said to Charles, "Chief, what makes you say that Mark and Ran Bing are a couple? Just because Mark's sister, Hongkou, was burned to death, are you going to use the same reason to burn Mark to death as well?"

As Jingyuan finished speaking, he raised his voice, his tone becoming almost a rebuke.

Charles dropped the pretense and shouted, "If they weren't a couple, would Mark have bothered to storm into Dawnhall for her?"

"I helped Mark conquer the Dawn Hall!" Jing Yuan said with a smile. "What? Are Ran Bing and I a couple too?"

Charles was speechless.

At this moment, Jing Nan chimed in, "Lord City Lord, our men have reported that Jing Yuan, Mark, and Ran Bing did indeed walk out of the Dawn Hall together just now!"

Jing Yuan pressed on, continuing, "Chief, was today's charade a scheme to win people over using the Dawn Hall, a deliberate attempt to frame Captain Mark, or both? You need to give us an explanation!"

"Using the Hall of Dawn to win people's hearts..." Dr. Carrie said with a smile, "That's truly unheard of."

“Jingyuan,” Morgan spoke, “what evidence do you have for all this?”

Jing Yuan looked at Morgan and asked, "What kind of evidence is the City Lord referring to? Is it evidence of a deal made in the Dawn Hall? Or evidence of framing Captain Mark?"

Morgan said in a deep voice, "Evidence that Charles used the Dawn Hall mission as a bargaining chip."

Charles looked at Morgan, his face filled with shock.

This suggests that Morgan believed Mark's entry into the Dawn Hall was motivated by a desire to uphold order in the lighthouse, rather than by personal favoritism.

Morgan's attitude was particularly crucial.

Are Mark and Ran Bing a couple?

Morgan didn't see this as a problem at all!

As long as he can keep it a secret, having a child secretly is no problem.

Hongkou's death back then was not because she was in a relationship, but because she publicly opposed the Three Laws.

According to the original plot, Mark, being a man of strong emotions, was bound to be manipulated by Charles.

But Jingyuan disrupted all of this.

Jingyuan smiled slightly and respectfully said to Morgan, "Yes!"

“Nonsense! Utter rubbish!” Charles walked up to Jing Yuan like a barking teddy bear.

"Charles!" Lord Morgan interrupted him, "Let Jingyuan finish speaking!"

The more flustered Charles became, the more guilty he appeared. He never imagined that Jing Yuan would try to exonerate Mark in this way at this crucial moment.

Jingyuan looked at the other supervisors and said, "When I stopped Lorif, he admitted that this was the video footage from that time."

Jingyuan immediately played the video on the spot.

-

"This mission is a reward assigned to me by the guild leader!"

"What's the reward?"

"During the last ground-based data collection mission, I brought back the medicine that the Chief needed!"

-

After playing the video, Jing Yuan continued, "I also have a list that I stole from the Gene Optimization Institute. It records the list of personnel that Charles has illegally assigned over the years. Some of them are obviously over the age limit for breeding, but they are still carrying out breeding tasks."

Morgan looked at the list in Jingyuan's hand, stood up, slowly walked down the platform, and took the list from Jingyuan.

He understood everything at a glance.
