Ning stood up with a weird look on his face. "How are you fighting my subordination skill?" Ning asked.

"Stand down!" the captain shouted with a gun in his hands.

"Go away, captain. I've indulged you long enough," Ning said as he grabbed the gun with his left hand and crushed it like paper.

The Captain tried to shoot but the bullet wouldn't leave the chamber anymore.

Ning ignored the captain and looked at the woman. "I order you to speak the truth," he said.

"Captain! Stop standing around, kill him," the queen shouted.

"Kill me? Your master?" Ning looked at her. "Are you not the queen? A body double?"

Ning couldn't understand.

The captain hit him in the back of his head with a strong arm, the strength of which he had summoned from a beast just now.

However, when he expected Ning's skull to crack open, he instead felt a blinding pain in his hand. He could feel his own fingers crack and he was certain he had injured his finger bones.

"Captain, why are you doing this? I'm trying to help you find the murderer," Ning said.

"She's not the murderer," the captain shouted.

Ning sighed. "Let me prove it to you," he said as she snapped off the metal cuffs that were simply bracelets for him now that the chains were already broken off.

Ning could try and use the Supreme Domination skill on the queen again to see if it had simply not worked the last time. However, the confession wouldn't be any sort of proof since Ning will have clearly interfered with the queen.

"Let me go find the murderer," Ning said as he disappeared right in front of their eyes.

"What?" the captain was surprised and looked around. He tried touching the air where Ning was and wondered if he was perhaps invisible. However, there was nothing there.

Just then, Ning reappeared back where he was standing. The captain jumped back in surprise before quickly returning to his feet as he looked at Ning.

Next to him was a green-haired woman who Ning had grabbed by the nape. The girl had daggers in her hand that she tried to stab Ning with, but all she could hear were clangs as if he was wearing armor beneath his simple clothes.

"Let go of me. Who are you? Why are you doing this?" she shouted.

"Let go of her," the captain shouted at Ning as well when he saw the helpless girl struggling next to the brute of a man.

"Really? You want me to let her go?" Ning asked. "Even after you know she is Janean, the girl who murdered your prince?"

"Wha-" the captain was dumbfounded.

"Wha-wha-what? N-no, I didn't kill the prince. I don't know what you are talking about," the girl screamed on top of her lung.

Ning turned the girl towards the captain and let him see her fully.

Janean was a short girl with a petite body type wearing a fully black dress. The daggers in her hands were sharp, but the flat side of them was dull enough to not reflect any lights.

"Why did you kill the prince?" Ning asked.

"I- I did not kill the prince! I promise. I don't know what you are talking about," she shouted.

The captain looked at Janean, in shock, as his lie-detecting skill was telling him that she was in fact lying.

"What's your name, girl?" he asked.

"Lila! My name is Lila," she said.

Another lie. "Answer me in yes or no question only," the captain said with eyes that were fueled with rage.

The girl feared those eyes of the captain. She swallowed a bit and nodded quickly.

"Did you kill the prince?" he asked.

"I don't know what you—"

"YES OR NO!" the captain shouted, making the girl flinch back a bit.

"N-no. No!" the girl managed to speak despite her fear.

The captain realized that was a lie. She had in fact killed the prince.

"Are you part of the Shadow's Anarchy?" the captain asked.

"Wha— No," the girl remembered to answer in yes or no question only.

The captain closed his eyes as he realized they had got the murderer for their prince. At the very least, his death wouldn't go unavenged.

"Do you know the man who is grabbing you?" the captain asked.

"No, I don't know who the hell this psychopath is that grabbed me in my sleep," she shouted.

That was the first truth she had ever spoken since coming here. The captain looked at Ning and realized that he had nothing to do with this.

That meant… it was very much likely that he was speaking the truth. So, with a heavy heart, he opened his eyes and asked, "Did the queen order you to kill the prince?"

"What? I did not—"

"Yes or no," the captain reminded her.

"No," the girl said.

The captain was taken aback and Ning caught the change in expression. "What is it? You got it?" he asked.

"What do you mean?" the captain asked.

"Is she lying or not?" Ning asked.

"How…?" the captain was stunned when he realized that Ning knew what he was doing this whole time. However, now was not the time to be shocked. "No, she's telling the truth."

"That can't be," Ning looked at the captain, and then to the queen. Finally, he turned back to the girl and asked, "do you know who ordered you to kill the prince?"

"Why do you keep asking that? I already told you—"

Ning suddenly turned her around and looked into her eyes. "Listen here, we already know who you are, who you are working for, and what you've done to the prince."

"I don't like violence, but I have no qualms in killing a bitch that doesn't hesitate to kill a 15-year-old kid. Now, tell me if you know who ordered you, or I will crush your throat right here."

The girl's eyes widened with fear as she knew she had been caught. In those cases, there was only one thing she could do.

Suicide.
