Chapter 554 The Preparation of The Expedition Are Set!
A couple of minutes later...
The interrogators arrived and asked Felix and Thor a bunch of questions about the incident to decide if it was intentional or not.
Upon figuring out that it was Thor's first time driving, they decided to be lenient and write it down as an incident due to Felix's reputation.
If it was a deliberate move to kill off innocent people, then even paying a ransom wouldn't be enough.
"Alright, Sir Felix, now that we established the details of the incident, we will leave you to handle the settlement case with the victims." The interrogator shook Felix's hand and noticed, "Please take care of it in a week minimum, Otherwise, we will have to place you in jail until you either pay or accept the punishment."
"Thank you officer."
After shaking the man's hand, Felix exited the room and went to sit in the lounge, waiting for Thor's interrogation to be over with.
They had already removed the handcuffs on him since they were just there for the media so they wouldn't cry out about an unbiased treatment.
During his wait, Felix accessed his victims' chat IDs and contacted them one by one. Some of them had their lawyers answer for them while some took it upon themselves.
Whatever it was, Felix slapped them with 5 million SC for each of them to make sure that the case gets concluded as fast as possible.
He had no time to waste being in jail or long-term negotiation.
The victims didn't dare to push their luck by trying to rip off more coins out of Felix due to his fearsome reputation.
They were merely honest people and five million SC falling into their lap freely was more than they could ever ask for.
Just like this, the issue had been resolved before Thor's interrogation ended and before Felix's enemies could use this scandal against him.
Like the Racist Mushroom who wouldn't have missed such an opportunity to bring his image to the dirt.
Though, the news still went viral, reaching even Olivia and his grandfather. When they called to ask for his well-being, Felix eased up their worry by telling them that the case was concluded.
In a short while, Thor had been sent out by an annoyed interrogator.
God knows what he did to irritate him like that.
"Let's go back home," Felix said, sighing.
"Wait, why can't we hit the bar now?" Thor asked casually, "Isn't it still pretty early?"
"The media is going to be all over us if we got spotted outside." Felix said, "If you are willing to wear a disguise then we can go grab a drink or two."
Instead of replying, Thor snapped his finger, and his entire demeanor was changed. Clothes, face, body structure...Everything!
"How about this?" Thor asked.
"It's sufficient." Felix nodded his head and wore a disguise on his own. Then, they went outside of the police station through the backdoor.
This time, they took a cab towards one of the finest bars in the city...While Thor was still pretty eager to taste some of the best alcohol in this era, Felix just wanted to send away this troublemaker, not wanting to hang out with him anymore.
They almost ended up going to jail on their first day, God knows what's going to happen the next time!

Three weeks later...In the dorm's room, Felix was currently chatting with Malak and Erik about the expedition.
He was already informed that the explorer spaceship and the new bodyguards for Robert had reached planet Earth.
Since Felix's grandfather and family were currently residing in Sky Pearl Island, it had top-notch security measures erected around it.
