Chapter 90 The Inspector General’s Thoughts

“Why must I head to the Office of Inspector General?” Caspian hesitated. Wasn’t this just about apprehending a criminal?

If Sylvia found out he’d been taken to the Inspector General’s office, she’d undoubtedly order her troops from outside the city to storm the place!

Caspian held a favorable view of Joey as her recent actions to save lives were truly commendable. Nevertheless, he was reluctant to deploy city troops over a minor incident.

“You had killed someone, so you need to provide a statement at the Office of Inspector General,” Joey stated.

“I stepped in just now to save a life. You saw the situation back then,” Caspian explained.

“You took my gun, ignored the hostage situation, and fired recklessly. It was a dangerous move. You must clarify your actions at the Inspector General’s office,” Joey insisted.

Willow and Zoey found Joey’s decision to confront Caspian unreasonable. After all, Caspian had saved Carmen. Instead of being thanked, he was now facing the prospect of arrest, which struck them as profoundly unjust.

“Dangerous move? What was so dangerous about it? The results speak for themselves. Willliam was neutralized, and Carmen was unharmed!” Caspian sighed.

He continued, “If it weren’t for my intervention, you might be nursing a broken leg now and watching William escape!”

“You were fortunate to shoot William! You’re not a part of the Inspector General’s team. Who gave you the authority to use a gun?” Joey retorted.

“You must be out of your mind! It’s called being a good Samaritan. Can just anyone waltz into the Office of Inspector General? You don’t even have any basic knowledge!” Caspian said impatiently.

He hadn’t expected any rewards, but he certainly didn’t want more trouble.

Joey was brimming with anger, What gave this useless Caspian the right to insult her? Despite knowing he had rescued the hostage earlier, she did not have a good impression of him.

“What do you know? William was crucial as he was a member of a fraudulent gang. We were planning to follow his trail and capture all of these culprits. But now, you’ve killed him directly and cut off all leads!” Joey voiced her frustration.

“How is that my concern? This is the inspectors‘ business,” Caspian replied expressionlessly.

Joey fell silent as she was unable to counter Caspian’s argument.
