And now, Daniel was calling the chief secretary’s office.
The phone rang.
Soon, a lazy voice was heard coming from the other end of the call. “Hello.”
A middle–aged man was seated in the office, and his name was Byron Wull.
Byron was the deputy chief secretary of Internal Affairs and was ranked second among the figures of authority in Swallowston.
Daniel said, “Where’s the chief secretary?”
Upon hearing Dandel’s question, Byron said, “Who are you? Why do you want to speak to the chief secretary?”
This man was supposed to be the dignified deputy chief secretary, yet, he failed to recognize Daniel’s voice.
Daniel frowned upon the realization and said, “This is Daniel Summers–the representative of the Battle Warrior Department.”
“Ah, I see.”
Upon hearing Daniel’s self–introduction, Byron hastily chuckled and said, “It’s you huh, General Daniel. I’m sorry I didn’t recognize your voice as we’ve never met in person.”
“I’d like to speak to the chief secretary.”
“The chief isn’t here,” Byron said, “You can speak to me if there’s anything that you need.”
Daniel suppressed his anger and asked, “Where is the chief?”
“He’s on a business trip at Southrive. I’ve been managing Internal Affairs all this time.”
“Now, why are you calling on behalf of the Battle Warrior Department?” Byron assumed the mannerism of a deputy chief secretary.
“Are you aware of the incident of Sheldon Cooler abducting Mandy Cole of Swallowston Bank from a road in the outskirts?” Daniel questioned.
“What? When did that happen? Why wasn’t I notified?”
Byron sounded surprised, but in truth, he knew about the incident. However, he did not have the courage to provoke Sheldon. He would be suffering a greater loss if he got himself killed.
Sheldon knew that Byron was managing Swallowston’s Internal Affairs at the moment. If Bryon were to mobilize Internal Affairs to hunt down Sheldon, Sheldon would find an opportunity to kill him out of spite.
Hence, Byron had no plans of meddling with this incident because it was not his place to do so.
Daniel understood Byron’s stand on this matter and instantly laughed out loud. He said, “Excuse me but judging from your tone, it seems that you’re unaware of this incident.”
Byron quickly tried to absolve himself of responsibility. “Mr. Daniel, I only manage Internal Affairs. Hasn’t it always been the Department’s and the Guardian’s responsibility to bring criminals to justice?”
In reality, the three parties–consisting of the Battle Warrior Department, the City Guardian Division, and Internal Altairs- should be regarded as one in a certain sense. They should be assisting one another to
manage Swallowston. However, Byron was insinuating that this case should be handled by the City Guardian Division.
Daniel said, “If you aren’t aware of the case of Sheldan abducting Mandy, what else aren’t you aware of? Tell me, how is Sheldon still alive and where is he getting his weapons?”
“How would I know how Sheldon is still alive? You should ask the first guardian because I’m not responsible for this matter. It’s not within my jurisdiction either.”
Byron insisted that he was clueless. 2/2
Daniel inhaled a deep breath. Had Adrian not suppressed him constantly in the past two years, he would have slaughtered Byron early on.
Daniel said, “So, you’re saying that I should speak to the first guardian, right?”
“Yes, the first guardian has his own soldiers serving under him. Internal Affairs‘ soldiers are much weaker compared to the Guardians‘ and the Department’s. The Guardians and teh Department should be the ones discussing this matter. This is the way it has always been,” Byron insisted.
“All right then.” Daniel immediately hung up the call.
