The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Chapter 37

"What's going on?" Eric kept staring in the direction Sky had left.

He was confused as to why Sky had not returned after so long. In all his previous visits, such poor reception had never happened before.

Previously, they would be warmly invited inside, offered air conditioning, and served tea. The tea was top-grade, and the water was from natural springs-all luxuries beyond the reach of ordinary people.

If that was the treatment he had received prior to his promotion, Eric was eager to learn how they would treat him post-promotion.

He assumed Lytton would receive him with open arms, offering him rare delicacies and precious local specialties... However, in reality, he was left sweltering under a tree.

"This doesn't seem right," he muttered, straining his eyes.

He had hoped to solve the case in half a day, but now he had to revise his plans. He would consider it a success just to see the mayor within that time frame.

Meanwhile, the air conditioning in the town council office was set to a cool 23 degrees Celcius, and Sky was relaying the intelligence he had just gathered to Brandon.

"Uncle Brandon, it's certain that Ethan Rivers has been arrested," Sky reported. "The two police e commanders associated with him have been removed. I even have a recording of my conversation with the new commander."
