The Guardian's Sword

Zander took Dwayne to the commander-in-chief's office.

Once he entered the office, Dwayne nodded and bowed before obsequiously
cottoning up to Sean.

Sean did not take kindly to Dwayne.

He asked directly, "I heard Onyx Dragon Gang is vaguely involved with the
sheriff's department. You even defended Onyx Dragon Gang. Is that true?"
Hearing this, Dwayne's expression immediately changed as he shook his head
violently. "No! Definitely no! Commander Lennon, I don't know where you heard
this rumor, but it's outrageous! Someone created this rumor. It's all made up..."
"Oh, tell me what's going on then," Sean was asked calmly.

Dwayne pulled out two envelopes, respectfully put them on Sean's desk, and
spoke. "Commander Lennon, here's what happened. Two of our sheriffs in the
sheriff's department are indeed involved with Onyx, the head of Onyx Dragon
Gang, so Onyx told everyone that he knew people in the sheriff's department and
that the sheriff's department has his back, but it was only the two sheriffs in the
sheriff's department who are close with him."

"Mayor Lewis asked me about it earlier, and I found out about it after looking into
it. I'm so angry. I didn't expect anyone in the sheriff's department to be associated
with criminal organizations! So I fired those two sheriffs. These are their files. You
can have a look at them."

Sean opened the envelopes, flipped through them, and set them aside.

He did not think it was that simple. Maybe the two sheriffs were just scapegoats
put up by the sheriff's department.

However, now that all the blame had been placed on these two sheriffs, there
was nothing Sean could say. Besides, the city defense army's commander-in-
chief did not have authority over the sheriff's department. It was under Mayor
Quentin's jurisdiction.

"You're strict, and I hope you can always keep this up.” Sean smiled as he
handed the two envelopes back to Dwayne.

After Dwayne left, Zander asked, "Commander, do you really believe him?"

"I'd be stupid to believe him. But he's cunning to put all the blame on those two
scapegoats... I tipped them off after all. Maybe instead of calling Quentin, I
should have sent someone to investigate privately and expose them when I have
enough evidence."

Zander nodded and said, "I thought so too, but it's too late to regret it now. After
this incident, the sheriff's department will be careful in the near future. The people
in the sheriff's department associated with Onyx Dragon Gang are likely to go
dormant and stop communicating with Onyx. There's nothing we can do even if
we want to investigate.”

"Yes, it seems we gotta take our time with this," Sean nodded.

The slum's issues were still being dealt with. Many things in the slum were
waiting to be done.

Sean could not create a rift with the sheriff's department over Onyx Dragon
Gang. It would affect the relationship between the city defense army and the
sheriff's department. After all, the sheriff's department and the city defense army
were both Dorodo 's armed forces, one handling internally and the other
externally.

"Come on. Let's go buy a house..." Sean chuckled and got up from his chair.

He had been too busy recently. He had some time today, so he could buy a
house and relax.

Sean left the city defense army with Zander and headed downtown to Montana
Real Estate's sales center.

As soon as he pushed the door open and walked into the beautifully furnished
hall of Montana Real Estate's sales center, an estate agent dressed in a dress
came forward and asked politely, "Hello, are you looking for houses? What type
of house are you looking for and at what price range?"

"An ordinary apartment that's big enough for three people. As for the price... Let's
take a look first." Sean waved his hand and said.
