“Drive to the police station immediately!” Sebastian panicked. According to Chief Zinke's just and unswerving character, he might just resort to violence if Mr. Campbell doesn't disclose his identity. Mr. Campbell slaughtered his enemies effortlessly on the battlefield in the past. If Chief Zinke really assaulted him, I suppose the police chief should be dead by now.
His anxiety intensified as Joe was not picking up the calls.
Meanwhile, Joe was comforting Bobby in the waiting room.
“Chief Zinke, that person is a terrorist! I want you to hurry up and execute him. Otherwise, I'll show you the consequences!”
Bobby, who had changed his pants, bellowed threateningly at Joe and the other officers consoling him in the waiting room.
Joe wore a grimace, but there was nothing he could do. Although this guy is useless, his father is a powerful figure. Besides, he may possibly inherit the formidable Jackson family, so I have no choice but to accommodate him.
“Mr. Jackson, we are still investigating this matter. If he's really a terrorist, we'll never let him off!” Joe steeled himself and said.
“What else is there to investigate? Didn't you see how he was about to kill me earlier? If you don't execute him now, I'll make sure you lose your job by tomorrow. Do you believe that?”
Sensing Joe's perfunctory response, Bobby gritted his teeth and threatened him.
“You—”
Joe was enraged by Bobby's remark.
However, at that moment, a subordinate rushed into the waiting room.
“Chief Zinke, Mr. Lambert is here, and he wants to meet with you at once!”
Joe had no choice but to leave the waiting room in dejection after listening to his subordinate's words.
Upon returning to the office, Joe saw Sebastian waiting impatiently.
“Why didn't you answer my calls? I even dialed your office and personal numbers! Are you trying to make me worried sick?” Sebastian uttered in displeasure when he saw Joe.
“I'm sorry, Mr. Lambert. I left my phone in the office and didn't bring it along with me.”
He felt utterly depressed, getting scolded by his superior upon stepping into the office after being threatened by Bobby in the waiting room a few minutes ago.
“Cut that nonsense. Where is that young man you brought here from the Jackson residence?” Sebastian hurriedly asked.
“He's in the high-security detention room. What's the matter?” A hint of uneasiness crept into Joe's heart when he noticed Sebastian's anxious demeanor.
“What? You're keeping him in the high-security detention room? We're doomed! Come with me to release him at once!”
Sebastian's heart sank after he heard Joe's answer. He slumped into the chair as a crestfallen expression spread across his face.
However, less than ten seconds later, he sprang up from the chair and dashed outward.
Sebastian was the police chief before he was promoted to mayor. Naturally, he knew what kind of place the high-security detention room was.
The room was specially reserved to interrogate vicious criminals and lawbreakers.
Many harsh interrogation methods unimaginable to outsiders were employed inside the room.
If those subordinates utilized those methods on Mr. Campbell... Sebastian didn't even dare to imagine further.
“Mr. Lambert, does that guy have an impressive background? There is no information about him beyond the past five years. Even our system couldn't find out anything about him. Besides, he nearly killed Bobby just now.”
Joe's heart jolted when he took in Sebastian's panicky demeanor as the latter hastened out of the room. He hurriedly followed Sebastian to the high-security detention room while reporting the earlier situation.
“There is no information about him beyond the past five years. In that case, there is no mistake regarding his identity. He must be Harold, the God of War, who appeared out of nowhere five years ago and saved the world before vanishing for the subsequent five years!”
While hurrying toward the high-security detention room, Sebastian spoke to Joe grimly.
“What? H-He's Harold, the God of War?”
Treading on the heels of his superior, Joe stopped moving as if he had been frozen by a magic spell after hearing that.
