Chapter 541: You Report, I’ll Approve!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Bentley Johnson was a little dumbfounded. He asked Dominic Lowe to punish the captain, Hatcher Murphy.
In the end, Dominic ran away?
What was he going to do?
Braydon walked over calmly and smiled. “Commissioner Bentley Johnson of the Hamptons?”
“That’s me!”
Bentley nodded.
“You just asked what mistake Jonathan Babcock made, and you want an explanation, right?”
“Shouldn’t you give the Hamptons an explanation for this?”
Bentley was still angry. He said, “Mr. Babcock is a famous entrepreneur. How could you kill him? Where is the justice in this?” Every word was a cry of injustice.
Commissioner Bentley was pleading for Jonathan.
He did not even know the details of the situation, and his every word was a preemptive move.
Hatcher said coldly, “The Babcock family’s martial artist tried to murder the Northern King. Should he be killed?”
Bentley was shocked.
He said incredulously, “Murder the Northern King?”
“Yes, the Northern King!”
Hatcher said coldly.
Bentley’s fingers trembled slightly. He was no stranger to these three words.
Although he was an ordinary person, he was the commissioner of the Hamptons. Of course, he knew who the Northern King was.
He was the commander of the northern army!
The Babcock family actually wanted to murder the Northern King?
Bentley’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
Among the Babcock family crowd, seeing that Bentley was backing them up, an old man in his sixties walked out and said with grief and indignation, “Since you want to put the blame on us, you can find all sorts of reasons to do so!”
“Kill him!”
Braydon glanced over coldly.
The Babcock family martial artists could complain in front of anyone but Braydon.
There were no innocents among the martial artists of aristocratic families!
Swoosh!
Hatcher pulled out his cold black sword and turned around to slash through the night.
The old man’s pupils constricted as fear flashed across his face. He wanted to dodge, but Hatcher’s blade was even faster.
He cut his throat and killed him on the spot.
This iron-blooded scene shocked everyone.
“Hatcher Murphy, you…” Lawson Babcock was shocked and furious.
“The Babcock family’s martial artists dare to complain? The Youngblood family, the Babcock family, and the Flitwick family have threatened and bribed the Jarrell family’s martial artists to go to Preston to spy on our northern army’s commander. What are they trying to do?
“Aren’t they trying to kill the commander? Don’t tell me you’re trying to protect the Northern King in secret?” Hatcher said coldly.
“The commander of the northern army doesn’t need your protection!” Hatcher was furious.
He held his black sword and shouted, “Imperial guards of the Central Plains, listen up! All martial artists belonging to the Babcock family are to be brought back to the Central Plains main team for interrogation!”
“Yes, sir!”
More than 2,000 imperial guards of the Central Plains held cold swords in their left hands as they swept through the entire Babcock family with a swift and fierce momentum.
All martial artists were arrested.
If they resisted, they would be killed on the spot!
“Hatcher Murphy! How dare you!” Lawson shouted angrily.
“Why wouldn’t I dare? You’re just a small inspector in Quill. If you dare to offend your superiors, I’ll kill your whole family!” Hatcher was a captain!
The five captains were all iron-blooded people.
Whenever the captains led the imperial guards out, blood would flow like a river, and a large number of martial artists would die.
The imperial guards were the core strength of the five main teams.
Once the order to kill was given, the imperial guards would not be merciful.
Lawson’s face turned pale.
Hatcher was at least two levels higher than him!
“Captain Murphy,” Bentley could not help but say in shock, “there are many people in the Babcock family. They are all middle and high-level figures in the Babcock Corporation. If we take them all away, the Babcock Corporation will collapse.”
“Outsiders are not allowed to interfere with the Central Plains main team’s work. You guys can take care of the civilians, but the Central Plains headquarters will take care of the martial artists.”
Hatcher’s eyes were cold. He did not take Lawson seriously and did not give Bentley any face.
The commissioner of the Hamptons, Bentley Johnson, was a big shot in the eyes of ordinary people.
However, to Hatcher, Bentley did not even have the qualifications to converse with him.
Braydon looked at Bentley and whispered, “Commissioner Johnson, if you want to report tonight’s matter to the capital, there’s no harm in doing that. You report it, and I’ll approve it!”
His calm words stunned everyone.
What was the meaning of this?
This white-robed young man had the right to approve of a report made by Commissioner Bentley?
Who was he?
Bentley was shocked and asked tentatively, “May I ask who you are…”
“I’m just a commoner. I’m merely a young man in my twenties and not a big shot. Commissioner Bentley, you don’t need to pay attention to me.” Braydon left with his hands behind his back.
Hatcher said in a low voice, “He is the commander of the northern army!”
“What?”
Lawson’s expression changed drastically.
Bentley’s pupils constricted. He turned around and bowed, saying, “Commissioner of the Hamptons, Bentley Johnson, greets Commander Neal!”
One sentence exposed the gap between the two!
Bentley was in charge of the affairs of the Hamptons.
In front of King Braydon, it was nothing.
Who was Braydon?
He was the leader of the hundred generals of the Military Department!
Just this identity alone was not inferior to Dominic, the head of the hundred officials in the capital.
Braydon did not turn his head, nor did he pay attention to these people.
They were from two different worlds.
They were not from the same faction!
In a place like the capital, there was no need to mention the people of the powerful families, aristocratic families, sects, and other major entities.
The three armies, nine departments, and twenty-four divisions were divided into two sections.
The people in the two sections were related to the civil and martial arts examinations.
For now.
The civil officials were led by Dominic.
The generals were led by King Braydon.
The two sections, the civil officials and the generals, had always been on the opposite side.
The civil officials were all scholars.
Since ancient times, scholars had been frivolous and arrogant, and there were many people who were proud of their talents.
The scholars were in charge of the country and the livelihood of the people.
Dominic was the leader of these people, and Hansworth was divided into twenty- three provinces.
The commissioners of the twenty-three provinces, such as the commissioner of the Hamptons, Bentley Johnson, belonged to the civil officials’ section.
The scholars were lofty and regarded the military generals as boors, a group of boorish people.
The 100 generals was naturally made up of the seven elites of Hansworth.
For example, the Southern Hansworth Army, the Groot Army, and so on.
With the personalities of General Christopher Jenkins and the others, they did not like the civil officials in the palace. They often said that they were useless scholars!
The two sections were naturally incompatible.
It had been like this for thousands of years!
At this moment, in the spacious manor, a cool breeze was gradually rising, and the moon was covered by dark clouds. It seemed that it would be drizzling tomorrow.
Lawson, the inspector in Quill, said unwillingly, “Commissioner, are we just going to let this matter slide?”
“Lord Northern King is here personally. Do you think he would wrongly accuse the Babcock family’s martial artists?”
Bentley was not a fool. He knew that the fights between the various forces in the martial artist aristocratic families were more intense than outsiders imagined.
Lawson shook his head. “That’s not what I meant. I just feel that Braydon Neal and the others are going too far. We belong to the capital and belong to the civil official section. Why do we have to do things according to Braydon Neal’s wishes?”
“You fool!”
Bentley took a deep look at Lawson.
The two sections were at loggerheads.
However, not everyone in the other section could be their opponent!
The country was founded on martial arts, and the civil officials and hundred generals. The status of the civil officials had been falling rapidly due to the events that happened in the past twenty years..
