An Understated Dominance (Dustin Rhys)

“Hm?”

Even Warrick frowned at the news.

The royal enforcement team was rarely mobilized. When they did, it was always for something monumental. The question was, did a minor figure like Jovian Ballard really warrant such attention from Austin?

“Mr. Thatcher, are you sure the royal enforcement team has been mobilized? And it’s because of Jovian?” Warrick asked skeptically.

“Of course I’m sure,” Huxley replied with a grave expression. “I’ve just received orders from above. The enforcement team captain will be taking over my duties temporarily. From now on, they’ll have full control over the city’s defense and investigative operations.”

“That’s strange. Why would Lord Austin go to such lengths for someone so insignificant?” Warrick was confused, his brow furrowing.

According to his intel, this was the first time Jovian and Austin had even met. Even if they had crossed paths before, it shouldn’t have been enough to justify deploying the enforcement team.

It seemed Warrick had underestimated Jovian’s importance to Austin.

“It looks like Lord Austin is serious this time. Do you have a plan?” Huxley probed cautiously.

With all his authority handed over, he couldn’t mobilize any soldiers for the time being. That left him feeling uneasy.

“There’s no need for a plan,” Warrick replied coolly. “Just act like this never happened because we wiped out all traces. Even the enforcement team won’t find anything linking us to this.”
