The Almighty Lord Caspian novel Chapter 488

"Immediately gather the men and head to the port. Stop Vadesia's ship and rescue all the abducted people," Joey ordered.

The entire Inspector General's office sprang into action. All elite forces immediately assembled, armed to the teeth.

Joey, as the inspector general, personally led the team toward the port.

However, upon arriving at the port, Joey and her team discovered that the ship had left more than half an hour ago.

"Inspector General, the ship has left. What should we do next?" asked the leader of the inspectors.

"Chase them! We must save the people. Prepare the speedboats!" Joey ordered without hesitation.

"Roger that!"

Ten speed boats were ready. Joey boarded one with her team and set off in pursuit of Vadesia's cruise ship.

According to the information provided by the burly man earlier, these trafficking groups were armed. After all, foreign countries had no restrictions on firearms. Hence, Joey was cautious to avoid unnecessary casualties.

The speedboats sped forward.

But after almost an hour of chasing, there was still no sign of the cruise ship.

"Inspector General, if we continue, we'll leave Diatoran's waters and enter international waters," the leader expressed his concern.

"So what? Continue the pursuit!" Joey sternly commanded.

It wasn't easy for them to obtain this lead. They couldn't afford to give up midway.

"But today, Astronia and Vadesia are conducting military exercises nearby. We might be in danger," the leader warned.

"I'm aware of the situation. Besides, our country is also conducting military exercises. Don't worry. Other countries won't dare to harm us. With Diatoran backing us up, what's there to fear?" Joey asserted confidently.

However, the leader was still somewhat uneasy and added, "Inspector General, our relations with the other two countries are delicate right now. A major war could break out at anytime. It's better to stay away from international waters for now."

"If you don't want to go, you can jump down from this ship," Joey impatiently retorted.

Hearing this, the leader dared not say more.

After another ten minutes, a cruise ship appeared on the distant sea!

Joey used a pair of binoculars to observe and saw Vadesia's flag on the ship. "Full speed ahead! That's the ship!"

Over a dozen speedboats sped up and headed toward the ship.

…

Outside Diatoran waters, in international waters, Diatoran, Astronia, and Vadesia were in a tense standoff as none of them was willing to make the first move.

The atmosphere was extremely tense.

No one wanted to give the other an excuse to start a war.

The military exercises between the three countries became a confrontation with one another.

At this moment, a cruise ship of Vadesia appeared and was closely followed by over a dozen speedboats.

"General! A Vadesia cruise ship has entered our designated area, and there are over a dozen speedboats in pursuit. It seems they're from Diatoran!" the deputy officer urgently reported.

"What? Is that true?" John was momentarily stunned.

The atmosphere was already tense, and he didn't want accidents to happen.

Without hesitation, John quickly checked the situation on the sea.

Through binoculars, he saw a familiar figure. It was Joey, the inspector general of Southlake City.

"Something's wrong! Joey is here with her team, which means they're arresting criminals. Something might be wrong with that cruise ship. Contact Joey and ask for details," John instructed.

He didn't rush into action as every move he took had to be cautious.
