The War God's Homecoming

Chapter 414 The Major Case from Ten Years Ago

The newcomers were none other than the newly appointed leaders of the Special Patrol Division, Stan Mitchell, and the newly appointed head of the Imperial Guard Bureau, Harlan Holmes. These two were the individuals Billy had messaged earlier while in the car.

Billy had brought them to Leford for a specific reason. Firstly, because Jay White and Lizzie Greenwood were personnel from their respective departments. Secondly, Billy had a strong suspicion that the matter involving Marty Bennett was directly related to the major incident that had occurred in the Southern Region ten years ago. Thus, he wanted these two high-ranking officials to hear the details.

"Mr Mitchell!" Dane Potter quickly led the Special Patrol Division personnel to bow respectfully.

Stan Mitchell glanced at them without saying a word, then walked swiftly alongside Harlan Holmes to stand before Billy, speaking respectfully.

"Commander Gardner!"

Stan Mitchell and Harlan Holmes bowed to Billy at the same time, and so did their subordinates.

"Thank you for making the trip." Billy said with a smile as he stood up.

"Commander Gardner, may we inquire about the specific situation?" Harlan Holmes continued.

Throughout their journey to Leford, the two of them had been discussing what could have led to such a special summons from Commander Gardner. The message they received was brief and didn't provide any details.

"Anderson, please brief these two lords on the situation." Billy said calmly.

"Yes, Commander!" Liam Anderson responded loudly before proceeding to explain the situation to the two officials.

"What a mess!" After listening to Liam Anderson's account, Stan exclaimed angrily. With that, he turned towards Jay White and Lizzie Greenwood and declared, "I'll have you two executed!"

"Mr Mitchell, please, not so hastily!" Billy interrupted with a faint smile. "Let me introduce someone first."
