Then Claremento came over.
Today, Claremento did not wear a suit or battle armor but only casual plain clothes. Even so, he still exuded intense authority.
When he reached the front of the two, he glanced expressionlessly at Jagoan before looking at Lisha.
“Lisha, why didn’t you come back last night? Did you know I sent 500 men looking for you last night?”
Lisha bowed slightly before explaining. “Dad, Jagoan and I went to the auction at Harvey Tower last night. We planned to come back after the auction but were attacked by a bunch of hooligans.”
“Attack?” Fury crossed Claremento’s face.
He was the mayor of Crosac, and Lisha was his daughter.
How dare mere hooligans attack Lisha?
They had the nerve!
“And then what?”
Though furious, Claremento did not immediately issue any order but continued asking.
Without hesitation, Lisha immediately said, “The head of the Hunt family, Grandpa Timaeus and Shirley ran into us and helped us fend off the hooligans. But Grandpa Timaeus was not well. He was not injured but was a little tired after the fight. So Jagoan, Shirley, and I sent him back to the Hunt family house. Then we stayed the night at the Hunt family house.”
Lisha said nothing about Lowich’s assassination attempt!
She hid the fact that Aria had sent Lowich to kill her!
Jagoan was slightly shocked but kept his cool and did not express or say anything. It was Lisha’s family matter. It was between her and her sister and had nothing to do with him.
Since Lisha herself had no intention of pursuing the matter, what more could he say?
“Be more considerate in the future,” Claremento said before turning around to look at Jagoan.
“Thank you for taking care of my daughter and protecting her, but you better not leave the mayor’s residence with my daughter again except for special circumstances. It’s for your own safety, Commander Jagoan. If anything happens to you in Crosac, it will ruin Crosac and Dorodo’s relationship.”
“Actually, I’m planning to say goodbye today,” Jagoan said flatly.
Jagoan smiled and said, “We’ve achieved the purpose of our visit. It’s pointless for our diplomatic convoy to stay. Besides, we’ll visit you again if we get the chance.”
