Once, I wanted to be a good person

Hearing his words, Fang Ze's face turned cold as he grunted an "Mmm," then he said to the man, "I don't care which department you are from, I won't be going."

Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, the man's pupils slightly constricted, emitting a dangerous gleam.

At that moment, Fang Ze spoke again. He turned around, looked straight into the man's eyes, and then said, "Because I am a noble. Apart from the Noble Court, I do not accept interrogation from any other department."

Hearing Fang Ze's words, the man's face involuntarily registered surprise. The two teams of Black Clothed investigators, as well as Little You standing beside Fang Ze, all suddenly looked at Fang Ze with astonished faces.

The man stared intently at Fang Ze, and after confirming Fang Ze seemed serious, he slowly began to speak, "So, Your Excellency is the new noble?"

Fang Ze looked at him coldly, haughtily saying, "I have already told you, I do not accept interrogation from any of your departments. Nor will I answer any questions!"

"Whatever you want to ask, wait until the people from the Noble Court arrive!"

Having said this, Fang Ze looked at Little You and said, "Little You, go fetch me a set of noble attire."

By this time, Little You next to Fang Ze was already dumbfounded.

Noble? New noble? What exactly was their Director and these Black Clothed investigators talking about?

Wasn't their Director a commoner? And moreover, someone who came from the slums!

How had he suddenly become a noble?

And upon hearing Fang Ze asking her to fetch clothes, she was even more bewildered.

Where was she supposed to get these noble clothes? She had no idea at all....

This...

However, after she realized Fang Ze was secretly signaling her with his eyes, she suddenly understood: Right. It doesn't matter where the clothes come from! Get away first! Now that her Director didn't want to undergo the interrogation, fetching the clothes could also buy him some time!

Thinking this way, she quickly came to her senses, then nodded at Fang Ze and said, "Alright, Director! I'll go fetch them right away!"

Having said that, she walked straight through the Black Clothed investigators, preparing to leave.

And just at that moment, the leading man suddenly spoke out, "Wait a moment!"

His Black Clothed investigators immediately closed ranks, blocking Little You's path.

Fang Ze turned his gaze, looking at him icily.

The Black Clothed investigator spoke with a feigned smile, "Director Fang, don't be upset. Noble attire isn't something just anyone can wear. I need to verify it first."

At this, he added, "I will confirm your noble identity, that is acceptable, right?"

Fang Ze had already guessed that the other party had a way to verify his noble identity, so he wasn't surprised. He continued recalling Jiang Cheng's imperious demeanor, arrogantly nodding.

Seeing this, the Black Clothed investigator quickly waved his hands to the others.

Two Black Clothed investigators stepped forward, holding something that looked like a Treasure Bead, then approached Fang Ze.

The Black Clothed investigator said, "Director Fang, please show your cultivation."

Fang Ze held his head high, nodded arrogantly, then his body shook, and immediately seven bright stars slowly twinkled behind him.

Seven stars connected into a pattern, shining brightly. Simultaneously, the bead held by the two men also slowly brightened from dullness and began to levitate!

Seeing this scene, the leading Black Clothed investigator could hardly hide his delight.

He controlled his excited emotions, then respectfully apologized to Fang Ze, "My apologies, Your Excellency, I was presumptuous earlier!"

At this, he gestured to his subordinates to put away the Treasure Bead. Then he said to Fang Ze, "Since you have already verified your noble identity, let my subordinate and your secretary fetch the clothes together."

Having said this, he again signaled the female Commissioner with his eyes.

The female Commissioner nodded, then smilingly said to Little You, "Hello. I'll accompany you to fetch the clothes."

Little You looked to Fang Ze for help. Fang Ze silently nodded at her.

Only then did Little You leave with the female Commissioner.

Seeing them leave, the leading Black Clothed investigator said to Fang Ze, "Now, Your Excellency, while we're waiting for them, shall we go somewhere to wait?"

Fang Ze glanced back at his office, then said, "Let's go to the conference room."

"You have too many people. Don't mess up my office."

Having said this, he ignored the Black Clothed investigators' attitudes and walked straight towards the conference room.

Perhaps truly intimidated by his noble status, although the direction he took had Black Clothed investigators clustered, they quickly stepped aside to clear a path for him.

Thusly, Fang Ze walked in front, with the Black Clothed investigators following behind, until they arrived at the conference room.

Upon arriving at the conference room, Fang Ze directly took the lead seat, while the Black Clothed investigators lined up along the edges of the room, keeping guard.

The chief Black Clothed investigator approached Fang Ze, all smiles, and then laughing, he said, "Director Fang, I had no idea you were the new noble we've been searching for."

"Actually, you could have just told us straight from the beginning."

Fang Ze, with his arms crossed and leaning back in the chair, kept his eyes closed, not uttering a word.

The man didn't appear annoyed; he continued, "I wonder when you became a noble?"

"How did you become a noble? Was a Demigod involved?"
