"I really didn't expect that within a few days, I would be back again."
Orson said this in a self-deprecating manner before Owen could even speak.
When Owen heard this, he felt ashamed.
Orson seemed to be making fun of himself, but in fact he was secretly expressing his dissatisfaction with the work of the police station.
Arrest people, release them, and arrest them again.
As a result, the reputation of the entire police station was almost ruined.
"I know it's not your fault, and I'm not going to blame you."
Orson said this, waved his hand, walked past Owen and walked into the police station.
Then he found the residence arranged for him by the public security bureau with ease.
Returning to the police station was as easy as returning home.
After the graduation ceremony, Lit didn't see Orson.
"Really? I clearly told Orson to wait for me, but he got lost first."
Thinking of this, Li Te felt dissatisfied.
But then, thinking that Orson might be preparing a little surprise for him in the dormitory, Litt began to look forward to it a little.
However, when she returned to the dormitory and opened the door, she only saw Orson's teacher Triss sitting on the sofa in the dormitory.
Seeing Litt coming back, Triss quickly explained: "The key to the room was given to me by Orson."
"Eh? Why did Orson give the key to the dormitory door to Teacher Triss? What was he doing?"
When Triss heard this, a look of hesitation appeared on her face. She thought for a while, and then told Litt the truth.
"Orson... was taken away by the police again."
When Li Te heard this, it was as if a bolt from the blue had struck him, and the package in his hand fell to the ground.
"Why... why?"
Her voice was trembling, but she couldn't help asking, "Why are they arresting Orson again? Hasn't he been cleared of suspicion?"
"I don't know the specific reason, but they said they suspected Orson had bribed the police station staff to help him clear his name, but I don't think that's possible."
Therese expressed her guess:
"I think this is more like a coup. They want to control Orson and help themselves take the throne."
"what……"
When Lit heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that Orson once told him that they should stand on Elsa's side.
Then, it is obvious who attacked Orson.
It's Alsace.
"The message has been passed on. It's time for me to leave. Li Te, take care to protect yourself during this period. If they dare to attack Orson, they may not be afraid to attack others."
Triss said this, walked up to Litt, patted Litt's shoulder gently, and then walked out of the room.
Lit lowered his head, thinking about something in his heart.
On the other side, in Orson's residence.
This time, the person who came to question Orson was not Sherlock, but Arthas himself.
"Mr. Orson, long time no see."
Arthas stood at the door and greeted Orson with a smile.
"Have I been addressed as 'Your Excellency' by Your Highness?"
Orson put the book down but remained seated in the chair.
"Hey, what's that? I'm respecting you, Orson. Otherwise, should I call you Duke Orson? Or Mr. Orson?"
"That's not necessary. Just call me Orson like before."
Orson said with a smile.
The atmosphere between the two people seemed quite harmonious, and there was a sense of excitement like friends meeting each other.
However, it is particularly ironic to include the two people's current situation in it.
"Your Highness, the police station doesn't seem to be that efficient. Last time they found me innocent and released me, but this time they arrested me on a different charge. It seems like your men are not very capable."
Orson said this with a hint of meaning.
Of course, Arthas knew what Orson meant. He came behind Orson and leaned his hands on the back of the chair.
"There's nothing I can do. I forgot the principle of avoiding acquaintances before. There was some corruption in the police station. The results of the investigation can't be taken seriously, so now I can only re-examine and solve the case."
"Corruption incident." Orson wanted to laugh when he heard this.
I'm afraid that the so-called corruption incident was entirely concocted by Alsace.
"I can't help it. Although we left you here alone, Orson, we arranged people outside to see the conversation between you and Sherlock. I thought it was very strange at the time. As expected, we found a large amount of funds of unknown origin in Sherlock's home. Who would give such a large sum of money to her?"
"So you suspect me?"
"Of course, we can't rule out those suspicions after all."
"Okay, let's talk frankly."
As Orson said this, his tone became much more serious.
"Your Highness, what do you need?"
"You should know what I need, Orson."
Arthas placed his hands on Orson's shoulders.
"I control the military power of the empire and half of the land directly under the royal family."
"And you, Orson, have a close relationship with the largest chamber of commerce in the empire. I can say that you are the richest person in the empire."
"At the same time, you are the most capable and prestigious person in the empire, so I would like to discuss a cooperation with you."
"cooperate?"
"I've looked for you before, haven't I?"
Arthas said this and brought the past back to Orson.
"Have you forgotten what I talked to you about during the school festival?"
Of course Orson knew that it was Arthas who wanted to win him over at that time, so he nodded.
"Of course I remember, and I gave you my answer then."
"Have you changed your mind now?"
Orson heard a hint of threat in Arthas' tone.
If he was willing to join forces with Arthas, Arthas would be able to clear him of suspicion, and then the two of them could work together to successfully overthrow Elsa, and Arthas would be able to regain power.
By then, Orson will be able to become a person second only to one person and above everyone else. This condition is very tempting.
However, Orson just shook his head calmly.
"I'm sorry, but I'm a pretty stubborn person. At least, I won't change my mind in such a short time."
"So that means we have nothing to talk about?"
"Of course not. We can still discuss cooperation elsewhere, right?"
Orson said this, stood up, and looked at Arthas at eye level.
"You are a royal family and can freely handle many affairs. This is your advantage."
"But, Your Highness Arthas, don't forget that you are not the only member of the royal family. What you are doing now has touched my bottom line."
Having said that, Orson laid his cards on the table.
"In the dormitory for me, Olivia, and Lena, you arranged twelve sentries to watch the entrance day and night."
"Me, Lit, Olivia, Lienka, Chelinina, Lena, and Virgil, you have arranged at least three teams of spies around each of us to monitor our actions."
Arthas showed a look of surprise when he heard Orson accurately report the people who were monitoring him.
"I have endured this situation because I know you are suspicious of us and want to find something to hold against us so that you can weaken the local forces. I understand."
"But, Your Highness, what you have done has seriously disrupted the lives of my friends, my relatives, and my lover."
"Guess what, after I come in today, will your sentries still report back to you?"
"Orson!"
Arthas stared at Orson, with a hint of ferocity in his eyes.
But then, he suppressed his outburst and became amiable.
"It's okay, Orson. I apologize to you for this incident. After those sentries are caught, I have no objection to how you deal with them."
Arthas made a rare concession; those sentries were nothing more than pawns to him.
"However, my conditions remain the same. You can either join me or refuse. The former will allow us to work together and achieve a win-win situation."
"The latter, I will not allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed."
This is already a naked threat.
But Alsace has the confidence.
The strength Orson showed last time was level eight, and he is also level eight.
In addition, several eighth-level commanders of the Royal Knights, Imperial Guards, and City Defense Forces, as well as Owen of the Public Security Bureau, all are loyal to Arthas.
In addition, there are dozens of seventh-level masters who are also loyal to Arthas. Now they take turns guarding the security station. It is impossible for Orson to escape, and no information will be leaked.
As long as he waits a few days and successfully becomes the emperor of the empire, everything will be easier to control.
Directly fabricating false evidence and labeling Orson a traitor to the empire seemed to have offended three duchies at once, but as long as he gave up some of his interests and made verbal promises, the royal duchies would still be safe.
After all, even if Orson is the link between the three duchies of Naples, Antica and Prussia, he is only among the new generation.
The Duchy of Prussia is still under the rule of William, an old fox.
The Duchy of Antica and the Duchy of Naples, which has been half-crippled by the war, together would not be a match for the royal family.
And after Orson is eliminated by myself and I keep a low profile for a dozen years, the environment of the empire will undergo earth-shaking changes, and it will be okay to make plans by then.
In fact, Arthas was ready to give up most of his interests to ensure that he could sit on the throne of emperor.
After all, if he didn't do this, he wouldn't even be able to keep his position as emperor.
If you can't become an emperor, how can you talk about your ideals?
Therefore, although his idea seems naive, it is the only feasible option at present.
"..."
Orson and Arthas looked at each other. Their auras were equally powerful and neither could suppress the other.
"Your Highness Arthas."
Orson suddenly spoke.
"Most of the records I broke at the Imperial Academy were held by you."
"The most outstanding freshman, the highest total score in a single academic year, the youngest to be re-elected as the student union president, the highest total experience score, the highest student union vote poll..."
As Orson said this, he told Arthas about the records he had broken one by one.
"Although I don't think I'm a particularly outstanding person, at least in front of His Highness Arthas, whose records I have broken many times."
"I think you're still no match for me."
Hearing Orson's blatant mockery, Arthas suddenly became furious.
His face was as gloomy as water.
"Well, let's end it with this move. After today, you and I are no longer friends."
As he said this, he threw a punch at Orson, who took it lightly.
This seemingly ordinary punch and palm strike created a large amount of airflow in the entire room out of thin air.
