"You are not answering my question...." Tang Shaoyang took a step closer and reached for the name tag on the officer's left chest, "Officer Lang Yao, who ordered you to capture Yu Shun?"

Officer Lang Yao kept his straight face and composure despite how close he was to Tang Shaoyang. However, sweat started to drop on his forehead as he met Tang Shaoyang's eyes. It was as if the eyes saw everything inside him, making him nervous.

"Did Commissioner Kang Jiayi order you to capture Yu Shun?" Tang Shaoyang pressed the officer once more.

Officer Lang Yao kept his mouth shut, adamant about not answering the question.

"Are you defying the Emperor's order now?"

"No, Your Majesty. But I am a TEIS officer, and I only listen to my superior's orders. That's who we are being taught!" Officer Lang Yao remained firm in his reply.

"I realize that there are a lot of stupid people being promoted to the position they are not supposed to. You must have a high position for you to command these many officers," Tang Shaoyang scanned the room. He estimated there were around a hundred officers in this Healer Division HQ right now, meaning the man was the direct superior of these one hundred officers.

"Do you know who TEIS works for?" Tang Shaoyang continued with the answer before Lang Yao could speak, "For the empire, of course. But do you know who the leader of the empire is? Me! You are working for me, and you say that you only listen to your superior? Am I not your highest superior? Or are you implying that I am not the Emperor anymore?"

Lang Yao opened his mouth, but no words came out. He heard a lot about Tang Shaoyang's background. The emperor was a former street thug, not good with his words. He thought he could get away by being quibble.

"Do you also know that you need the Emperor's approval to make an arrest for a high-ranking official like Yu Shun? I don't remember giving my approval for the arrest? Are you perhaps a new recruit? No, a new recruit can't command a hundred officers."

Tang Shaoyang did not give a chance for Lang Yao to speak, "Do you hear me, Origin?"

[Yes, Your Majesty.] The robotic voice responded.

"Make a call to Tarrior to arrest all the TEIS officers in the Healer Division HQ,"

As soon as the order came out from Tang Shaoyang's mouth, Lang Yao rushed toward the door. He tried to escape.

Tang Shaoyang just watched the man run while shaking his head. From the way Lang Yao acted, he was even more sure that Antorias had convinced more people to defect. Lang Yao clearly felt guilty, so he made the run.

However, Lang Yao's body flung backward as soon as he reached the door. Galeon, the Great Demon, simply punched the man back into the room. Lang Yao's body rolled on the ground and stopped right in front of Tang Shaoyang.

No words were needed anymore. Tang Shaoyang raised his right foot and stomped on Lang Yao's feet.

The cracking noise rang along with the stomp. It was soon followed by an agony scream. Lang Yao's both shins completely broke, and the white broken bone could be seen from the wound, protruding outward. That was a totally scary sight, especially for the civilians in the room. Even Luo Lan screamed and fell on her butt.

Tang Shaoyang was not over. He grabbed Officer Lang Yao by the neck before sending flurried punches to the man's body and face. It was merely five seconds, but he punched the man over fifty times. The cracking bone sounds rang again; this time, it was Lang Yao's ribs.

Lang Yao was half-passed out, and his eyes were half-open. Tang Shaoyang threw the body aside and beckoned his hand toward the healer inside the room, "Don't complete him, just ensure he does not die."

The healer was terrified by the scene in front of her. Her mind automatically followed the order, afraid that she would be the next. She did a minimum healing to stop the bleeding and constantly checked Lang Yao's condition, ensuring the man did not die.

Tang Shaoyang then looked toward the remaining TEIS officers, "Do you want to be subdued, or do you want to surrender?"

The nine officers immediately fell to their knees and put their hands on the back of their heads. The nine actually did not know anything, as they just followed Lang Yao's order.

"What's happening?" Tang Shaoyang then heard the familiar old voice.

Kang Jiayi entered the room along with another familiar face, Zaneos. The Demon Swordsman walked side by side with Commissioner General, observing the situation inside the room.

"We greet, Your Majesty," Kang Jiayi and Zaneos greeted Tang Shaoyang before doing another check of what happened in the room. The old man came next to Lang Yao upon noticing the horrible injuries on the man.

"Did the zombie get into the Healer Division HQ?" The old man genuinely sounded confused about how his subordinate could get badly injured inside.

"No! I did it," Tang Shaoyang's voice came from the side, "That guy is part of Antorias' scheme. He tried to take Yu Shun away."

"What?" Kang Jiayi could not follow up with the new information, "Didn't Your Majesty give us the approval to make an arrest? Lai Juanhong told me that he got verbal approval from Your Majesty to make an arrest."

"I never met any TEIS officers who asked me to make an arrest. Catch this Lai Juanhong immediately! He's also part of the rebels. I will tell you everything about what happened to Yu Shun later," Tang Shaoyang realized that the rebellion was not a reckless rebellion but a planned one. The TEIS and the Tarrior; Antorias might have people in the management division too.

Kang Jiayi seemed to be hesitant, "If you don't want to catch him, then I will do it myself. Just so you know, I am not soft-hearted to a traitor." Tang Shaoyang pressed the matter.

The old man let out a sigh, "I will capture Lai Juanhong."

"Not just Lai Juanhong. I want TEIS to stop all the activity and gather everyone in one building. We are doing a purge!"
