Her Majestic Battle Cry

Chapter 1332

Jacob had received the complete file on Cameron.

The 47–year–old was a native of Valken. He had passed the first level of the national examination at the age of 13, then went on to pass the second level by 18. In Valken, he had been renowned for his abilities, often referred to as a man of extraordinary talent.

In fact, some even said that being limited to the Waterworks Department was a waste of his talent.

The house he lived in had once been rented, but in recent years, he had purchased a modest home with a small courtyard–just big enough for his family to live in.

Still, it could be said that working in the Waterworks Department was a lucrative job. The fact that he had only just managed to buy a house in the last two years spoke to his integrity in office.

However, he wasn’t entirely without flaws.
