"Dear guests, welcome to the New Year Banquet of the century-old Harvey Mansion, which is the pride of our A City ...", Tristan's voice was loud and his words were impassioned, echoing on the central island where various magnesium lights were flashing.
In the quiet crowd, several staff members dressed in black civilian clothes with matching work badges came out from the backstage.
Soon they were at Tristan's side.
The crowd was stunned for a moment.
"Tristan Johnson, please come with us." A man who looked like a leader, with a calm face, picked up the work badge in his hand and placed it in front of Tristan.
Tristan was probably dazed by the sudden scene.
His eyebrows were slightly furrowed and as he was just about to get angry, he caught a glimpse of the work permit in the other party's hand, and his face turned white, his hands trembled and he stood unsteadily.
"Take him away." The leader gave an order towards the two staff members in black suits behind him.
The two staff members immediately took Tristan, who was already unsteady on his feet, towards the back of the stage.
The whole stage was so silent that even a pin dropped on the ground could be heard, and the crowd looked at the scene, not knowing what was happening, until Tristan was taken away.
"Mr. Harvey, thank you for your cooperation." The man in the military jeep greeted Calvin and directly started the car in the direction of the capital.
Calvin's gaze was sullen and sharp, his face full of dashing.
"Calvin, he won't be able to get away with the crime this time, Khalid's death didn't bury everything, instead it accelerated his incident." Albie stood beside him with a leisurely face, "It's also a way to give Ethan an explanation, it's a way for me to return a favor to you."
Calvin's eyes narrowed, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked.
"Well, I really have to thank you." A light smile flowed at the corners of his mouth, but it was with a mocking tone.
Knowing the nature of his cards, Albie laughed with a heated smile.
"It's really hard to get Mr. Harvey's affirmation." He said with a wailing sigh.
"Good that you know, don't think of me when you have something to do in the future." Calvin skimmed his lips, still in a mocking tone.
The two were joking, and they saw Aron rushing over, his face anxious, but when he saw that Albie was there, he didn't say anything, just greeted the two politely.
"Mr. Williamson, since it has been settled, why don’t you stay in Harvey Mansion for a few days? When I am free, I will keep you company." Knowing that Aron must have something to tell him, Calvin smiled towards Albie.
"Well, I really need to stay for a few more days, and I wonder if General Oakley Perry has arrived yet. It's just as well to meet him and Sophia." Albie nodded in agreement, knowing that Calvin had something to do and wanted to detach him, so he knowingly retreated to the side where the banquet was continuing.
"Aron, something wrong?" When Calvin saw that Albie had gone, he turned his eyes to Aron.
"Well, Mr. Harvey, our people got news that Sean was very annoyed with Rhys’ betrayal and wanted to shoot him to death." Aron took a deep before he said.
"So?" Calvin asked rhetorically as he thrust his hands into his trouser pockets and tilted his head to look up at the dark and dreary sky.
Aron's eyes rolled and he said softly, "I am worried about Miss Morris, she is with him now after all."
"Oh," Calvin he didn't speak, his mind remembered the aggrieved face of Belle who was locked up in his bedroom, and after a moment, he opened his mouth, " Aron, Rhys has offended Sean, and that's something he has to deal with it himself. Now that you know the news, send someone to tell him, so that he can find a way to settle this grudge himself.”
He said it lightly, but deep in his heart there was a hint of disdain.
Rhys was given a noble status, but he still wanted a better life, and after messing with those people, how can they let him off so easily? He really deserved it.
"Hasn't General Oakley Perry arrived yet?" Calvin looked at his watch, it was almost noon.
"Mr. Harvey, General Oakley Perry has been delayed by the case of Tristan and has to report to Brooklyn, so he will probably be late, but he has said that he will definitely come this time and will stay here for a few days." Aron remembered how he had just met General Oakley Perry when he boarded the plane from the capital and said to Calvin.
Calvin nodded his head, but his heart was filled with emotions.
He didn't expect that Brooklyn had really intervened in this matter. It would have been impossible to crack the case and bring down Tristan so quickly before the eighth day of the first month, but Brooklyn's position had a big background, and Khalid's death had set off the fuse, the capital soon set up a task force, and since the top had stepped in, the case soon took a turn.
So Albie was responsible for this design, allowing Calvin to stabilise Tristan and devise the best way to take him away directly in the banquet and transfer him to the capital for interrogation.
