The chief of police was named Gabe Wholeton. He used to be Rose’s subordinate and had followed Rose into war with Rebbeca.
Gabe’s time with Rose was shorter than Rebbeca’s, but not because he came later. Gabe had followed Rose earlier than Rebbeca. However, he was severely wounded in a battle five years ago. After recovering from his injuries, he was ill-suited to fight in war. Therefore, Gabe withdrew from the front line and returned to within the borders.
Later, Rose stopped contacting Gabe due to the tension of the war. Unexpectedly, he ended up working as the chief of police in Midwich.
When they saw Gabe from afar, Rose and Rebbeca recognized him immediately.
“Just address me as mister. This isn’t the army after all,” Rose said to Gabe with a chuckle.
Gabe nodded and asked, “Mr. Anderson, what’s going on? Why do you have a conflict with Jonathan, the heir of the Jensen family?”
Before Rose could explain, Rebbeca said, “Need I say more? Jonathan insulted this old man and even got his bodyguard to beat him on the train. We couldn’t stand by, so we stopped him. But not only is he unrepentant, but he also used the Jensen family name to threaten us. I’m unwilling to let that go, of course…”
After hearing Rebbeca’s explanation, Gabe glared coldly at Jonathan.
Then he said, “Mr. Anderson, Rebbeca, don’t worry. I will take this b*stard back and educate him. I promise I’ll teach him a good lesson.”
One could tell from the emphasis on the word “Good” in Gabe’s sentence that it meant something else.
Whatever difficult or arrogant man would come out meek after entering the police department. Besides that, they would shake with fear at the mere mention of Gabe. Thus, Rose could guess Gabe’s methods from that!
