Before long, a drowsy voice came from the other end of the phone, saying, "Pembroke, it''s already sote. What''s the matter?"


    "Secretary Kowalt, there''s something I need to report to you."


    "Just let me know."


    Pembroke recounted all the events of that night in detail.


    After a long silence, he finally received a response. Then, he hung up and said, "Come in."


    A special agent walked in.


    "Take a small team with you to monitor Landhor. Don''t let him leave the city," Pembroke said coldly.


    "Understood. But what if he tries to leave by force?"


    Without hesitation, Pembroke said, "Arrest him. This is an order from Secretary Kowalt."


    "Yes, sir." The guard turned and left.


    Pembroke leaned back into his chair with a dark look on his face.


    Landhor had colluded with the Roche family in Hemount City andmitted many atrocities. That was almostmon knowledge.


    However, since there was no substantial evidence, no one could touch him.


    Pembroke was helpless to do anything about it and dared not provoke any conflict with Landhor. Even Shane Kowalt, who was the top leader of the city, could only endure it.


    After all, they needed evidence to act.


    However, this time, the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense was provoked.


    It was a department that did not need any evidence to arrest people. If no evidence could be foundter on, then they could just release the ones they arrested. No one could do anything about them.


    However, those who were under their detainment would have evidence dug up even where there was none.


    With the things Landhor and his associates had done, was there any doubt that evidence would be found under the scrutiny of that department?


    Even without the department, Pembroke had absolute confidence that he would be able to make Landhor and the others pay the price for their actions.


    With this already earning Shane''s support, there was nothing he needed to worry about anymore.


    "Landhor Lorne, you''re finally done for," Pembroke said viciously.


    At the same time, Landhor, who had been waiting for news at home, got a piece of unbelievably shocking news instead.


    Clive had been captured by Pembroke, and someone from the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense was with the Nees family.


    When he heard that news, his heart immediately sank.


    Someone from the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense had ordered Pembroke to capture Clive.


    Pembroke had always been at odds with Landhor. With the department being involved, things were going to be very troublesome.


    He paced anxiously in the living room.


    He might be done for.


    There was no running away. Escaping from the surveince of the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense was impossible.


    The only option was to keep Clive quiet. As long as Clive did not say anything, Landhor would be fine as well.


    Even the department could not just eliminate anyone without any evidence.


    As long as he could weather the storm, everything would be fine.


    The best way to keep someone quiet was to make sure they never spoke again. With that in mind, he immediately picked up the phone and made a call.


    As soon as the call connected, he said, "Go kill Clive, then you can go with him."


    "Okay, I''ve repaid your kindness now, and we won''t owe each other anything in the future. But..."


    "Tell me what you need."
