Chapter 68 Head of the Investigation Team

“That might be true, but that’s still the Flying Dragons‘ territory. As the ruler of Diatoran, you mustn’t risk your life. I can handle this matter; there’s no need for you to put yourself in danger,” Sylvia insisted.

“An eye for an eye! I must exact my revenge personally!” Caspian replied.

“Caspian, there’s something else I need to report to you.”

“What is it?” Caspian asked.

“I just received instructions from above. They’ve noticed some unrest in Southlake City lately. Many high–ranking officials here are a bit corrupt, so they’re planning to form an investigation team to clean up the city,” Sylvia explained.

“Well, that doesn’t really concern me, right?”

“How could it not? They know you’re in Southlake City right now, so they want you to be the head of the investigation team.”

“You’ve got to be kidding. Am I not on a vacation?” Caspian replied, displeased.

“Why don’t you consider it, Caspian? If you take it, your vacation will only end after the investigation is completed,” Sylvia explained.

“Head of the investigation team? You want me, the ruler of Diatoran, to take up such a lowly position? Am I going to be demoted several ranks?” Caspian asked.

“How is that possible? You’ve achieved outstanding military merits; no one would demote you. This investigation team is temporary. Although it doesn’t sound very powerful, this position will make all the high–ranking officials in Southlake City tremble in fear. Your authority will surpass everyone else’s in Southlake City!” Sylvia assured.

“It doesn’t matter.”

“If you accept this position and with the special privileges the country gives you, investigating Lilith’s case will become much simpler. You won’t need to report to anyone and you can make decisions yourself. If you encounter uncooperative individuals, you can directly deal with
