Chapter 426


    The journalist said, “Mr. Daniel, if the first guardian and chief secretary can’t be reached and the two


    departments refuse to partake in the case, Ms. Mandy’s life is at stake and the safety of Swallowston’s


    people is threatened. May I know if everyone is just going to ignore this matter?”


    Daniel smiled and said, “I can’t speak for Internal Affairs or the Guardians, but as a member of Wyvern


    Peak, I will


    respectfully inform everyone here that War Legate Draco has already departed to the incident location.


    The legate will protect Swallowston’s people.”


    All the journalists whispered to one another upon hearing this announcement. They were incredulous.


    This case was not supposed to be under the jurisdiction of the Battle Warrior Department.


    From the people’s point of view, the Battle Warrior Department was stationed temporarily in


    Swallowston until all its members were deployed to the ounds to engage in battle when war was


    waged. Internal Affairs and the City Guardian Division were the real authorities of Swallowston


    Yet now, Internal Affairs and the City Guardian Division were unavable and the Battle Warrior


    Department had to step


    forward.


    They found this unbelievable.


    A journalist asked, “Mr. Daniel, the Battle Warrior Department is here in Swallowston because it’s


    stationed here temporarily, The Department is regarded as a guest of the city when there isn’t a war on


    the frontlines. Now, the first guardian and chief secretary who are supposed to be the masters of


    Swallowston have vanished while the Department is taking over the case. In light of this, what’s the


    point of having Internal Affairs and the Guardians in Swallowston?”


    “That’s right. If the first guardian and the chief secretary won’t do anything, what’s the point of


    Swallowston spending money to pay their wages?”


    “The legate is supposed to be the master of Wyvern Peak and a guest of Swallowston who was invited


    to be stationed here. Now that this case has happened and the city masters won’t speak up, we should


    just turn the Department from a guest to a master and let them take charge of Swallowston.”


    “That’s right!”


    The journalists mored and chattered endlessly.


    Daniel beckoned everyone to quiet down. Then, he said, “Please remain calm, everyone. The legate


    will provide everyone with an answer on this matter. Before that, he has already dispatched the order


    that he will not allow anyone to hold an authoritative position without making substantial contributions to


    the city.”


    The journalists, who were getting emotional and could feel their blood boil in anger, quieted down upon


    hearing Daniel’s words


    Then, another journalist asked, “Internal Affairs announced that Sheldon was executed three years


    ago. Yet, he’s alive and back now. We have to investigate this matter thoroughly. We strongly suspect


    that Internal Affairs lied three years ago.”


    “If they really were lying, we hope that the legate will stand for the people of Swallowston and bring this


    matter to justice. We’ll never allow someone like that to rule over Swallowston and dominate


    Southrive!”


    “That’s right! We refuse to pay the wages of these people!”


    “If Internal Affairs is found to have lied, we must overthrow them!”


    “We’re paying so much in taxes to Internal Affairs to cover their wages. We pay not because we want


    them to lie to us.”


    Everyone was fearful and restless at this moment. Countless people were disappointed by Internal


    Affairs and the City Guardian Division’s Lack of action.

    Upon hearing these statements, Daniel said, “The gate will be givlin; a proper exnation to everyone.


    As for the issue of Internal Affairs’ lie from three years ago, the Department is investigating it. If we


    discover that someone lied, the Department will not let them off regardless of whether it is Internal


    Affairs or any other department.


    Please wait patiently. The legate will surely provide everyone with a clear answer.”


    The Battle Warrior Department’s press conference ended


    The citizens were furious after watching the press conference.


    They were furious that the two main departiments-Internal Affairs and the City Guardian Division-were


    shirking their responsibility while the first guardian and the chief secretary were nowhere to be found


    despite the dire circumstances.


    The situation challenged everyone’s limits.


    Meanwhile, everyone’s attention turned to Adrian. Everyone waited eagerly to see if the legate would


    seed in his rescue
