"All right, I've got it!"
Huai Shi nodded confidently, took out paper and pen from his saddlebag, and wrote an arrest warrant on the spot, stamping it with the Xinhai Inspector's seal. He proudly displayed the still-warm Black Envelope to Morando.
"Morando • M • Lande, you are suspected of endangering Current Circumstances, organizing illegal churches, murder, border smuggling, and other crimes. By the authority granted by the Astronomical Association New Sea Branch, you are hereby arrested today by my hand."
Morando was stunned for a moment, then immediately overjoyed, nodding frantically. "I am willing to cooperate! I am willing to confess, as long as my life is spared..."
"Very good."
