The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 485

"Stop the investigation. Just clear the scene," the governor instructed.

Joey was puzzled. As expected, the governor was stopping her from investigating.

This had happened many times before.

''Why exactly am I not allowed to investigate?" she asked with suspicion.

"All those killed are special agents. There's no purpose in investigating it," the governor replied.

"What? Special agents? How is that possible?" Joey was incredibly shocked.

"Enough. Don't ask too much. Just clear the scene." With that, the governor hung up the phone.

Joey had numerous questions in her mind.

Where did these special agents come from, and why were they killed?

However, before she could ask anything, the governor shut down her inquiries.

Since becoming the inspector general of Southlake City, she had faced many homicides. Every time she tried to investigate, the governor would intervene. She now felt more like a corpse collector than an inspector general.

However, Joey had grown used to it. She knew the ones who killed these agents had highly respected identities. Otherwise, how would it have required the governor's intervention?

…

Sylvia and Macy sent Willow and Zoey back to Riverside Villa.

They didn't go far after that. Instead, they continued to lurk nearby as they needed to protect Willow.

After experiencing such a perilous event today, Zoey didn't dare to return home alone. She decided to stay with Willow.

…

There would be a military exercise in two days, so the situation in South Aridlands was urgent. After Caspian and the Champion of East Aridlands, Benjamin Hart, arrived in South Aridlands, they began discussing the strategy for the upcoming actions.

The senior general of South Aridlands, John Anderson, also joined the meeting.

After hours of discussion between Caspian, John, and Benjamin, they finally settled on the strategy for the next course of action.

Since it was already late, the group had to rest briefly.

As soon as dawn broke, Caspian started preparing for the military exercise in South Aridlands.

He also had the authorities announce that Diatoran would conduct a naval exercise and encouraged major media outlets to report the event.

The news caused a great stir internationally.

Astronia and Vadesia had just conducted military exercises near Diatoran, and now Diatoran made an immediate decision.

In reality, everyone knew that it was more than an exercise. It was also a demonstration.

Any slight mistake could lead to a world war.

Even an ordinary person could sense the danger.

However, many were unaware that Caspian was the commander-in-chief of this exercise.

In reality, Caspian wasn't proficient in naval warfare, but he took the role of the commander-in-chief to stabilize the military's morale.

John didn't dare to be careless either. As a senior general, he was always prepared for anything.

If conflict happened between the two sides, weapons would be deployed.

…

Sylvia, Macy, and the armored battalion took turns to go on duty to protect Willow.

Luckily, nothing happened during the night.

The next day, Willow prepared to go to work at Southlake Corporation. She couldn't manage the affairs in Dhord City right now and had to focus on her current situation.

Since Zoey was still afraid, she decided to follow Willow to Southlake Corporation.

Willow had protection, and staying with her would undoubtedly be safer.

Willow agreed to her request.

Zoey and Willow stayed in the CEO's office, one working, the other writing.

Meanwhile, Sylvia and Macy patrolled near the company.

By the afternoon, Caspian felt it was necessary to return to Southlake City.
