Countermeasures
Lauren was kicked hard by Edmund, vomiting blood and fainting on the spot, and was rushed to the hospital.
Stepmother Egwene hated Edmund so much that she wanted to go to the White Tower to report him, but she was placed under house arrest by Gar and all her communication equipment was taken away.
As a result, not only could she not see outsiders these days, she couldn't even log into the Star Network.
She acted extremely arrogantly and made a lot of noise in the hospital every day.
Gal made a video call and saw Begwe, Anrita, and Edmund standing beside them through the screen.
When he saw Anrita, a gleam in Gar's eyes flashed, and he said excitedly: "Wife! Didn't you take a lunch break today? I really missed you. Do you miss me?"
The corner of Begwei's mouth twitched slightly: "..."
Edmund also looked helpless: "..."
Anita looked at Gal, smiled and nodded: "I missed you too, Gal."
Begway coughed lightly and asked Gar, "What's the situation now? Is there any breakthrough on Lauren's side?"
Edmund originally planned to interrogate Lauren together with Gal, but on his way back, Bergwi called Gal and asked him to go first.
After all, time is tight and there is no room for delay.
At first they thought that the interrogation would take a lot of time and would not be easy to succeed.
But unexpectedly, when Gal went to interrogate, everything went unusually smoothly.
Gar said disdainfully, "That Lauren is a wimp. When I went to the hospital to interrogate him, he was so frightened he was shaking all over and had no power to resist. Before I could even get to the point of intensity, he confessed everything."
Of course, in front of Anita, Gar naturally would not mention the trivial matter of him holding weapons, leading more than 20 fully armed and burly Marines to surround Lauren's bed, and pointing the particle cannon at Lauren on the bed.
Lauren is indeed a waste, but even such a waste is still pretending to be Edmund and doing evil things outside!
Gal continued:
"He used Edmund's identity to frequent various high-end venues in the central area, spending money like water. He was soon targeted. First, he was taken to various bars and clubs in the gray industry, and later he was taken to some small auctions under the Caster Island umbrella. It was also two months ago that he was blindfolded for the first time and taken to Caster Island, where he paid for the deep grooming services of a C-rank female."
Speaking of this, Gar's eyes were full of disgust:
"It was this time that he tied up the C-grade female he bought with a rope, and then whipped her with a whip just like the females whipped the males..."
"In short, he confessed to his crime of abusing females and repeatedly emphasized that such behavior was allowed on Caster Island and that he had not committed any crime."
Edmund gnashed his teeth in anger: "Damn Lauren, does he want to kill me? This bastard."
Begway's face darkened. "This confession must be recorded and properly preserved. If necessary, it must be submitted to judicial authorities or made public."
This is important evidence that can clear Edmund's name.
Of course, Gal understood that it had to be kept safe.
But the next question is a bit tricky.
Gar's brows were furrowed, with a hint of regret in his expression:
"That female's mind truly collapsed, and according to Lauren, she fell into a coma that night. It's been a while since then, and she's beyond recovery."
If the female couldn't be saved, Caster Island would probably not let Edmund go easily.
They didn't know Lauren, they only knew that he was the son of a cabinet member, the second generation of a wealthy family in the central area of the main star, and a lieutenant general officer in the central area Marine Corps.
Even considering Edmund's identity, they would not let this matter go easily.
Of course, it is also possible that they already knew that Lauren was not Edmund and were just using Lauren to deal with Edmund.
If this is true, the problem will be even more troublesome.
After hearing this, Anrita frowned, as she knew the seriousness of the matter.
She bit her lower lip subconsciously, her mind racing with thoughts of how to respond.
At this moment, Begway's eyes were moving back and forth between Anita and Gar. He was waiting for Anita's reaction, while also thinking about how to resolve the crisis in front of him.
Edmund clenched his fists, his heart filled with anger and self-blame. He felt that it was all because of his negligence that Lauren had taken advantage of the opportunity.
Looking at the solemn expressions of the people in the video, Gal felt a little uneasy.
He knew that although he had successfully interrogated some key information, this information did not make the situation clearer, but instead made things more complicated.
He frowned slightly, a hint of anxiety in his eyes, and wondered in his heart whether he had missed any important clues.
At this moment, Anrita suddenly spoke:
"Whatever the conspiracy on Caster Island is, we can't just sit there and wait. We must find a way to rescue Knox as soon as possible, and at the same time, we must find a way to resolve the trouble Lauren has caused."
Her voice was not loud, but full of determination.
Begway nodded. He knew that Anrita was right. They couldn't hesitate any longer.
Edmund also raised his head, his eyes rekindled with fighting spirit. He decided to protect Anita at all costs and clear himself of the grievances.
Gar looked at Anrita's determined eyes, nodded, and said, "My dear wife, don't worry. I will continue investigating to see if I can find more clues about Caster Island."
After saying that, he hung up the video call and prepared to devote himself to the intense investigation work again.
Begway looked at Anrita, gently held her hand, and said, "Anrita, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together."
Anita looked up at Begwell, tears of emotion gleaming in her eyes. "Is Edmund going to Caster Island? Are you leaving now?"
Edmund and Begwe looked at each other. Begwe finally sighed and said:
"Let's go now. Time is running out and we can't delay any longer."
Anita nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll go back and prepare."
Having said that, Anrita turned around quickly and went upstairs without waiting for their objection.
Leaving two tall males standing there, looking at each other.
Begway sighed, "Anita wants to go with you, but I'm not sure."
Edmund was also worried, but they couldn't persuade Anrita at all.
Edmund whispered:
"Your Highness, it seems that on Caster Island, each person can only bring one attendant. Anrita cannot enter as a female to avoid being targeted. If she really wants to enter as a female, her mental strength must be suppressed to avoid being discovered."
After all, it is common knowledge that the only S+-level female in the entire galaxy is Saint Anrita.
If people find out that she is an S-rank female, wouldn't she be exposed?
