Daniel made a call to the first guardian.
After the call was picked up, a staff member of the City Guardian Division said, “Mr. Daniel, the first guardian is away on business trip and isn’t in Swallowston at the moment. Also, the Guardians don’t have the authority to mobilize the federation guard without orders from Internal Affairs.
“We’re only allowed to offer reinforcements upon receiving orders from Internal Affairs. This matter isn’t under the Guardians‘ jurisdiction. We need Internal Affairs to take action first by dispatching the order. Only then are we allowed to act.
Ten minutes later, Adrian was waiting for an update in Samantha’s office at New Paraiso.
Daniel’s call came. He said, “Sir, I’ve made the calls. They’re claiming that the chtel secretary and the first guardian are away on business trips. Internal Affairs and the Guardians are pushing the responsibility to one another and neither of them has any intention of taking action. It looks like the Battle Warrior Department will have to take on this task.”
Upon hearing Daniel’s report, Adrian said, “Tell them that if the Department takes on an internal matter like this, I’ll make sure that they both cease to exist in Swallowston after this situation has been resolved.”
The Battle Warrior Department was supposed to just be a branch stationed in Swallowston, and its main duty was to fight against external enemies. Any chaus inside the city should be handled by Internal Affairs and the City Guardian Division. If these two departments were incapable of controlling the situation, they could invite the Battle Warrior Department to assist them
This was how the system worked and it also reflected the system of the empire’s Internal Affairs Ministry. Yet, in reality, the system was only applicable during the earlier days but after so much time had passed, more and more problems began to arise.
After accepting Adrian’s task, Daniel made a few more calls. He passed on Adrian’s message and told them that their reluctance to take action in this matter would result in the cessation of their respective departments once the matter was wrapped up.
Despite the warning, Daniel still failed to get in touch with the first guardian and the chief secretary. It was as if these two people had vanished from Swallowston. Even their phones could not be reached.
After passing on the message, Daniel called Adrian again. “I’ve relayed the message, sir. Bryson said that the chief secretary will only make a final decision on the matter when he gets back and says it is their right to do as such.
“Everyone is shirking away from their responsibility.”
Upon hearing this, Adrian refused to give the two departments any more chances. Mandy could not afford to wait for that long.
He said, “In that case, I will handle this personally Look into Sheldon’s gang. Find out if their men are anywhere else in Swallowston, or even in Navia. Also, find out how they acquired their weapons. Get in touch with the other Battle Warrior Departments to mobilize all our resources to investigate this matter.”
“Sir, are you intending on saving her yourself? I can mobilize the Mutalisk Troop to assist you. It’s too dangerous for you to go alone. Moreover, the enemy is unpredictable and the situation is extremely risky,” Daniel said.
“The Mutalisk Troop is meant to fight against enemies from the outlands. If we mobilize them for such a trivial matter, Sheldon’s gang will think they’re some hotshot and get in over Hieir heads ”
“But you’re War Legate Draco, sir. Sheldon and the others will be even more in meer their heads that you’re personally performing this rescue mission. They’ll feel that they’re so powerful to the extent that the legate is needed to engage them.”
Adrian smiled. “I’ll make sure that my presence doesn’t get to their heads.
“Dispatch my order, Close Swallowston’s southern border to stop others from giving me more trouble.
“Hight away, sir,” Daniel answered.
Adrian stood up and said, “Also, send me my gear.”
Upon saying that, Adrian hung up the phone and said to Samantha and Joanna, “Wait for me here while I go save Mandy.”
Samantha instantly panicked. She grabbed Adrian’s arm and said, “Adrian, you have no idea how savage Sheldon is. It’s too dangerous for you to go alone.”
Adrian said, “Every troop of the Department has a role to play and a mission to accomplish. I’m the only person who can attend to this matter. Don’t you, I’ll be fine.”
Upon saying this, Adrian walked out of the office.
