Chapter 181 There’s No Need to Intervene
“Hold on!” Caspian raised his hand and shouted.
He hadn’t anticipated Joey to take action this quickly.
What made it worse was her immediate intention to capture them.
“Caspian, this matter should have something to do with you, right? I’d say you’re the mastermind behind this,” Joey stated.
She had guessed that Caspian was definitely connected to this matter.
“You’re absolutely right.” Caspian nodded.
“Do you hold a grudge against these people? Why resort to such extreme measures?” she inquired.
“This tall man was reckless and broke the rules. He illegally possessed firearms too. Shouldn’t he be killed?” he remarked.
In truth, Caspian didn’t need to explain things to her. He could decide who to kill on his own! There was no need for Joey to interfere.
His attitude left her somewhat speechless.
“But that’s not a reason for you to kill them. Such matters can be handled by the Inspector General’s office. All of you are required to come back with me for interrogation. We’ll sort this out after I’ve investigated thoroughly,” Joey said to Caspian.
She wasn’t intentionally making things difficult for Caspian.
However, the deaths of foreigners in Diatoran would make for an unusual case. It had to be thoroughly investigated. It would be a bigger problem if it caused a war between the two
countries.
“I have other matters to attend to. I can’t go to the Inspector General’s office,” Caspian said. calmly.
“What do you mean? Are you refusing to be arrested?” Joey asked, feeling a bit annoyed.
Both Sylvia and Macy, along with the Elite team, gathered around when they saw this.
“What’s going on! Are you planning to fight with the Inspector General’s office? Men, handcuff all of them and take them back!” Joey couldn’t contain her anger.
Caspian had indeed saved her several times, but this was an official matter. She had to apprehend him for the crimes he committed.

The inspectors behind Joey moved in unison and surrounded them.
Simultaneously, Sylvia’s Elite team stood behind her and showed no signs of backing down.. The two forces had reached a standoff.
Just then, Joey’s phone rang.
Glancing at her phone, she discovered it was a call from the regional chief of Two Lakes.
“Chief Satori, what can I do for you?” Joey asked respectfully.
“Joey, I have something to inform you. Don’t intervene in or inquire about what happened at Southlake Hospital,” Chief Satori said nervously.
“But I’m already at the hospital. Why can’t I handle the situation here?” She was puzzled.
“Firstly, you can’t lay a hand on Caspian. Secondly, those foreigners were all dispatched by Tigra. They intended to engage in espionage activities in Southlake City. They deserved to die!
“You only need to handle the subsequent issues at Southlake Hospital,” Chief Satori asserted in a commanding tone.
“I understand, sir!” Joey hadn’t expected that the regional chief would personally call her regarding this matter.
As the head of the Inspector General’s office, she dared not disobey her superior’s orders.
Since these people were Tigra’s special forces and had ill intentions toward Caspian, they truly deserved death.
“Stop! It’s all a misunderstanding.” After hanging up the phone, Joey hurriedly intervened.
Upon hearing her command, the inspectors obediently lowered their guns.
Caspian also gestured at the Elite team behind him to holster their weapons.
Seeing this, Joey stared at him with an immensely surprised expression.
She had noticed something amiss about Caspian back at the Cliff of Death. His identity was not as simple as it appeared.
Various incidents suggested that Caspian certainly held a special status.
Soon after, the onlookers began discussing amongst themselves. They didn’t sympathize with the foreigners lying on the ground.
Following this, Joey instructed her subordinates and medical staff to clear the scene.
The bloodied corpses needed to be dealt with promptly.
Caspian bade farewell to Stephanie and left Southlake Hospital.
“Those fools had no sense of the bigger picture. Who allowed them to wander around? Our top priority now is the veins and treasures in Dragon’s Hill. Once we get hold of those, then we can seek revenge on Caspian!” Taylor responded.
“What? Why are we going to Dragon’s Hill?” Sylvia asked, puzzled.
