Michael lowered his head to look at me and smiled. “Everyone has their weaknesses. As long as we hit his weak spot, he will be caught.”

I sneaked a look at Michael’s expression when he said that. He said that everyone has a weakness. So what was Michael’s weakness? Was it me?

Michael noticed my gaze and raised his eyebrows. “What are you thinking about?”

I cleared my throat and said to Michael, “I’m just wondering if Courtney has no problem obtaining information in such a manner. ”

I had initially thought that the people in the werewolf court were all impartial and incorruptible. Before entering the interrogation room, I had imagined many bloody and tragic scenes. However, Courtney had used a method close to enticing Thales to make a deal. This had subverted my understanding of things.

“What’s the problem?” Michael asked nonchalantly.

“Of course, it’s fine if we are here today. However, if someone else were to see this, wouldn’t they impeach Courtney and accuse her of using her power to play favorites? If she had not done so, Thales would not have revealed all this so easily,” I said hesitantly.

I knew that Thales’ daughter was innocent. But wasn’t it inappropriate for you to promise this with your status?” I added.

Michael looked at me and suddenly smiled.

I glared at him, not knowing what was so funny about my words.

“It’s okay.” Michael reached out and ruffled my hair. “This wasn’t Courtney or me using my power to prompt him. In fact, this was what we had planned to do from the start.”

“What?”

“This is not the first case of Thales’ situation. When some criminals are arrested, many problems will always be left behind. We have always had people who specialized in dealing with the aftermath. As for all the underaged and elderly who have lost their ability to care for themselves, we will send them to the corresponding institutions,” Michael explained.

I looked at Michael, dumbfounded. “Why were you guys so hesitant before?”

“Courtney was just trying to scare him,” Michael said with a shrug.

He sighed and continued, “Thales is a despicable man. Ever since his wife passed away in an accident, he felt the people around him wanted to harm him. He no longer believed in kindness between people, so he believed Courtney when it said that. However, they were not heartless people. Even if it’s the werewolf court, it won’t involve innocent people when it’s handling matters.”

It was only then that I realized I was the only fool present. Perhaps there was also Thales, about to face a few decades of imprisonment.

“You seem to have a problem with how we’re handling this,” Michael said.

I shook my head and told him the truth. “How could I have any opinions? I feel like I’m a fool. You and Courtney seem to know everything, and everything was under your control, but I didn’t even understand what you two would do.”

I was not even as good as Joanna in this aspect. I silently swallowed the last sentence.

Michael looked at me, amused, and consoled me, “You’re still young, so you’ve only seen very few things. Courtney and I have lived much longer than you have, so these things aren’t that difficult. You’ll understand them in the future.”

I looked at the setting sun in the distance and muttered, “You always say you’re older than me. How much older are you?”

“If I had to say, he’s older than you and your parents combined.” An elegant female voice said.

I turned my head toward the source of the voice and saw a tall and slender female Lycan walking toward us. She saw my gaze and raised her hand to greet me.

“It seems like you’ve finished interrogating Thales, Courtney,” Michael said.

“Yes.” Courtney nodded. “He knows more than we can imagine. I’m confident I can open a gap in this dark chain from this information. One day, I’ll be able to catch all of these criminals in one fell swoop.”

“Then, congratulations to you,” Michael said casually as he put his arm around my shoulder.

“From what you’ve said, I seem to hear the feeling of a hands-off shopkeeper.” Courtney squinted and said.

“You’re right.” Michael snapped his fingers and said with a smile, “My mission is to catch the people who abducted the she-wolves, and I’ve completed it. It’s time to retire and leave the rest to the professionals.”

“You’ve been running around for a long time. Don’t you want to follow up and know the final result?” Courtney said.
