THE GUARDIAN'S SWORD - Season 2 Episode 48

Once he saw who was the person that had just walked in, Hayden Luke frowned.

This middle–aged man was the person in charge of the current government facility that they were in.

All the staff there were also directly under his jurisdiction.

There were some past grudges between Hayden and him, and that was why they were unfriendly

towards each other.

“I and you, Mr. Luke are not from the same area of jurisdiction.

“For you to come all the way here, Mr. Luke, perhaps you’re sticking your nose into something that’s

too far off from your own business now?

“Or did you think you’re a part of the CIA, Mr. Luke?”

The middle–aged man looked at Hayden and spoke softly.

What he said made Hayden simmer with rage.

However, he could not utter a single word in reply.

There were indeed unpleasantries exchanged in between the two of them, and now that he was here at

the other person’s area of jurisdiction, it was indeed him being too nosy!

However, if he were to leave this matter be, would Sean Lennon not be crucified by Joey and the rest?

Hayden was extremely conflicted. Alas, his influence was limited.

This middle–aged man and himself were considered equals, so he had no right to order him around.

Joey Yates hugged her arms in front of her as disdain filled her eyes.

A mere cripple dare to think that he was invincible just because he knew a few people?

If she wanted Sean dead, it would be as simple as crushing an ant.

“Are you done with the interrogation yet?”

The middle–aged man saw that Hayden was quiet, so he asked his subordinates.

“Not yet. Sean Lennon refuses to admit that he was the one that had killed Charles.

“However, according to the timeline, he is the biggest suspect.”

The interrogator explained.

“Throw him in lock up and grill him slowly, then,”

The middle–aged man nodded and was about to leave.

“You dare lock me up?”

Sean narrowed his eyes as he asked casually.

“Hah!”

The middle–aged man turned and asked, “Why do I not dare to lock you up?”

Sean looked into the middle–aged man’s eyes, his gaze was firm without the slightest bit of anxiety, but

was instead filled with a look of disdain as if he was looking down on the middle aged man.

He was the Nine–star Commander, and how powerful and noble he was!

He donned Nine–star armor, and in his hand, wielded the Nation–defending sword!

He was the one protecting the peace of the world.

In his hands, he had millions of men, and he was given the power to act as he saw fit!

A sword in one hand, power in the other. He was the nation’s defender!

Who, in the vastness of the kingdom under the sun dared to convict the Nine–star Commander?

Who else, dared to throw the Nine–star Commander into lock up?

This middle–aged man? No, even if it was a member of the royal family, they would have to bow down

under Sean’s authority as well.

“If you lock me up,

“Within a day, this place…

“Will cease to exist.”

Sean’s voice rang, his tone was confident and serene.

Everyone was stunned.

What an arrogant thing for a cripple to say!

How dare he announce things like this place ceasing to exist?

Where did he get his confidence from?

“Haha…

“I insist on locking you up today!

“You! Lock him up right now!”

After coming back to his senses, the middle–aged man ordered immediately.

A few young men walked in right away with metal handcuffs and cuffed them on Sean.

“Mr. Schmidt, someone from the CIA is here!”

Suddenly, a young man rushed in with a frantic look on his face and informed the middle aged man in a

loud voice.

“What?!”

The middle–aged man was stunned, a shudder traveled down his torso.

Hayden, on the other hand, stood up with a shock, disbelief filled his eyes.

The CIA, they’re here?

Who was the CIA?

There were several government facilities in the vast River City, but they were all under the jurisdiction

of the CIA.

The CIA had so much power and influence they were the kind of presence that was unfathomable by

ordinary citizens.

Before the CIA, Hayden was a humble subordinate.

“Quickly, go with me to welcome them!”

After coming back to his senses, the middle–aged man was about to leave the room.

Even though he had no idea who from the CIA had arrived, even if it was just a driver from the CIA, it

would be someone that he could not bear to underestimate.

This was why he did not dare to delay.

Before he could make it out the door, orderly marching footsteps were heard from outside.

A troop of ten or more people who were dressed in unique CIA uniforms marched in.

Their leader was a middle–aged man of about forty–something years old with a square shaped face.

His eyes were framed by bushy eyebrows, and he was average–looking in terms of overall

appearance.

However, he exuded an authoritative aura.

At that moment, this middle–aged man had his hands calmly tucked behind his back as he looked

ahead serenely.

The troop of people behind him were all calm and collected as well.

“Gasp!”

Mr. Schmidt inhaled sharply.

Mr. Luke’s eyes were bulging as well as his pupils constricted.

Damian Wool!

The Director of CIA’s River City Branch!

As the one in charge of the River City branch of the CIA, he had the power to give and take life

in his hands.

All the employees of government–related facilities in all of River City were considered his

subordinates.

This was the true ruler of the city, someone who had the power to change their entire world with a snap

of his fingers!

Hayden and the rest certainly did not expect him, out of all CIA agents to appear at that very

moment.

W–what was he doing here?

For someone of his ranking and caliber, he would never go to any government–related place just for

the fun of it!

“D–director Wool!

“Y–you’re here!”

Quickly, the middle–aged man snapped out of his daze and went up quickly to usher Damian in.

Anyone who was his superior held his life in their hands.

Besides that, this Damian Wool was not just any upper ranks!

“I heard that there’s a case over here, so I’m here to take a look.”

Damian spoke nonchalantly.

This sentence was the one that had made Hayden and Schmidt’s jaw drop.

What kind of case was this? Why did Damian Wool, such a VVIP come over personally just to check it

out?

Was this case a unique one, or were the people involved so important that he had to come down here

personally?
