“Caspian, don’t joke with me. I’m just the chief of the investigative team. It’s impossible
for me to be the new inspector general. You’re just teasing me,” Joey said.
After T
returning to Riverside Villa, Joey drove her car back to the Inspector General’s office.
Meanwhile, Willow and Miranda went back to work at Southlake Corporation.
Now that the Flying Dragons had been wiped out, Caspian no longer needed to personally
protect Willow.
However, he remembered Joey’s matter and immediately called Sylvia.
Under the name of the investigative team, he instructed her to inform the person in
charge of Southlake City and the Two Lakes area, to convene for a meeting the next
morning.
When the political figures of Southlake City knew that the investigative team was
involved, they didn’t dare to disobey Sylvia’s instructions.
They were well aware of the implications of being summoned by the investigative team.
The next day, Sylvia picked up Caspian, and they headed to the meeting venue.
At exactly 9:00 am, Caspian and Sylvia walked into the meeting room.
The prominent figures of Southlake City were shocked to see them enter.
They knew about Caspian but had no idea what was the reason for Caspian and Sylvia to
be there.
Could it be that these two were also invited to the meeting?
Although they had various doubts, none of them dared to voice them out.
After all, there were so many influential figures that attended Lilith’s memorial yesterday.
Even John, the highest–ranked general of South Aridlands, was there.
The fact that such influential figures attended the event indicated that Caspian had a
special identity.
These political figures were all astute individuals who had experienced the ins and outs of
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe political arena for many years. They naturally understood this.
As for the prominent figures from the Two Lakes area, they had no idea who Caspian was.
Just as they thought Caspian and Sylvia were merely invited guests, Caspian walked
straight to the head seat in the conference room and took a seat there.

Meanwhile, Sylvia sat beside him.
“Hello, everyone. I’m Caspian Lynch, the head of the investigative team sent by The King
of Diatoran,” Caspian announced his identity as soon as he sat down.
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
They never expected that the famous good–for–nothing of Southlake City would actually
be the head of the investigative team sent by The King of Diatoran!
The position as the head of the investigative team was far above their status.
“The person beside me is Sylvia Frost. She’s assisting me with my job. Her other identity is
a general officer,” Caspian introduced Slyvia.
At that moment, they realized that Sylvia’s identity was real all along!
They understood now that Sylvia had intentionally spread the news about her fake identity
as a general officer as a cover–up for the investigative team.
If it weren’t for the fact that they saw John at the memorial service yesterday, they
would’ve thought Caspian was impersonating the head of the investigative team.
But now, no one doubted his identity.
Caspian had only revealed one of his identities, yet everyone present was already
nervous. If they knew about his identity as the Diatoranian God of War, they would
probably be scared out of their wits.
After the introductions, Caspian went straight to the point. “Southlake City is a small city,
but it unexpectedly harbored a gang like the Flying Dragons. They were vicious and killed
many innocent lives. How have all of you been managing the city?”
Hearing his somewhat angry tone, everyone remained silent.
“A few nights ago, I was captured by Ezekiel’s subordinates and taken to the Cliff of Death.
All the members of the Flying Dragons were present, waiting to take action on me.
“When the Inspector General’s office knew about this, only Joey Sanders came to my
rescue. Where were the rest of the inspectors?” Caspian questioned.
Caspian said this to help pave the way for Joey.
The influential figures of Southlake City instantly trembled with fear. They were
responsible for the Inspector General’s office, yet such a thing happened under their
watch.
Many people present were uneasy. They didn’t even know that such a shocking incident.

“Do

“She’s a female inspector who’s brave and fearless. She was willing to fight to the death.
“Meanwhile, all of you were sitting in your offices, reading newspapers and doing nothing!
Don’t you feel ashamed?” Caspian spoke angrily.
No one dared to meet his eyes and chose to keep their heads down in silence.
“This matter will not end easily. I will inform His Majesty to thoroughly investigate the Two
Lakes area!
“Ezekiel, as the head of the Inspector General’s office, colluded with the Flying Dragons.
For that, I have executed him,” Caspian said, toning down his voice.
Even though his tone wasn’t that serious, the people present still felt a sense of fear.
They had no idea Ezekiel was executed!
At this moment, they understood clearly that Caspian’s methods were unexpectedly
merciless!
If Caspian got a hold of their leverage, their fate might be similar to that of Ezekiel.
“The Inspector General’s office can’t be without an inspector general. You need to find a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnew inspector general. I’m the head of the investigative team and only responsible for
investigating. The selection of the new inspector general will be up to you,” Caspian said.
After hearing his words, everyone exchanged glances. They realized there was more to his
words than what was said.
However, no one dared to speak, and they all fell into silence.
They were afraid that their choices might not align with what Caspian had in mind.
“If it weren’t for Joey’s timely arrival, I would’ve been in great danger. Therefore, I intend
to inform His Majesty to reward her,” Caspian stated firmly.
After hearing this, everyone suddenly understood his intention.
It was obvious that he wanted Joey to be the new inspector general of Southlake City!
Although Caspian didn’t directly say it, his intention was crystal clear.
They understood his implication. If they couldn’t discern his intention, there would be no
point for them to continue their careers.
“Currently, the only person suitable to be the new inspector general for Southlake City is
Captain Joey!” the deputy governor of the Two Lakes area said.
“That’s right. I also believe Captain Joey is the perfect fit for the role!” echoed a figure
from Southlake City.
“Joey has always been diligent and responsible. There’s no issue with her leading the
Inspector General’s office!” the deputy governor added.

Everyone agreed that Joey should become the new inspector general.
“Joey indeed saved me, but you don’t have to add this as a reason. You can choose the
most suitable candidate according to your own thoughts. I won’t interfere with this
matter,” Caspian deliberately stated.
Upon hearing this, everyone was momentarily perplexed. They were unsure of his
intention.
“After all, Joey is just a captain. Her qualifications might not be enough to take on this
important role. Do you have any other candidates in mind?” Caspian looked around the
room.
