"What's that?" Billy asked.
"My father once mentioned, on one occasion, that he had come across a file related to the conflict between Glavale's Southern Frontier Army and a country named Nanrania ten years ago." Jackson Bennett explained.
Nanrania was one of the ten neighboring countries of Glavale, near the Southern Frontier.
"Hmm?" Billy's pupils contracted slightly.
Ten years ago, there had been a major incident in the Southern Frontier of Glavale. At that time, Nanrania's military personnel, under the pretext of capturing domestic rebels, had forcibly entered a border town in the Southern Frontier and clashed with the stationed Southern Frontier Army.
The defense line in that area was relatively weak, and the opponents had come well-prepared. Moreover, the attackers were skilled, and the confrontation resulted in casualties of over four to five thousand citizens of Glavale. Among them were one thousand military personnel of Glavale and three to four thousand civilians. In the end, Nanrania's forces thoroughly searched the town and found none of the individuals they had come to apprehend. Afterward, they withdrew.
The Southern Frontier Commander at the time was furious and led his troops straight into the opponent's border, demanding that they hand over those responsible for the attack. At first, the opposing side didn't cooperate. After the Southern Frontier Commander, along with his troops, had killed dozens of their personnel, they finally spoke up.
They informed the Southern Frontier Commander that the individuals were from a special department of Nanrania and were not part of their regular military. After completing their mission, they had returned to their home country.
The Southern Frontier Commander, of course, was not willing to give up so easily. He led one hundred thousand Southern Frontier soldiers to advance toward the enemy's capital, demanding the surrender of the culprits. However, just as they were about to take action, they received a call from the capital, ordering them to withdraw from the border. The specific reason for the withdrawal was unknown to the public. In the end, Nanrania apologized to Glavale for the misunderstanding and conflict, attributing it to misinformation. They requested forgiveness and officially settled the matter after paying compensation.
"Did your father mention any specific details?" Billy continued to inquire.
"No," Jackson Bennett shook his head. "He only said that the matter wasn't as simple as it appeared. Later, he might have felt that he had revealed too much and didn't delve deeper into it."
"Commander, could it be that Mr Bennett's father was arrested because of this?" Liam Anderson asked with a slight furrow in his brow.
"It's very possible," Billy nodded slightly. After a brief pause, he looked at Jackson Bennett. "Mr Bennett, you should take your family back home for now. I'll handle the negotiation with the Special Patrol Division."
"Thank you, Commander Gardner, I'm truly grateful!" Jackson Bennett quickly stood up and bowed.
With Billy's assistance, a significant weight was lifted from his heart.
"Don't mention it. Please go back now. If there's any news, I'll have Inspector Anderson inform you." Billy said, waving his hand.
"Alright!" Jackson Bennett nodded and then bowed again. "Thank you again, Commander Gardner!"
Two minutes later, Jackson Bennett led his family away.
"Do you have any information about the Bennett family? What kind of person is Mr Bennett's father?" Billy asked Liam Anderson.
"Commander, in recent years, the Bennett family has been relatively well-off and doesn't exhibit many of the typical issues faced by major families. Additionally, they have played a positive role in Leford's development." Liam Anderson respectfully replied.
"Furthermore, based on my interactions with Mr Bennett's father, he seems to be a person of good character and likely wouldn't commit any fundamental mistakes."
Billy nodded slightly before continuing, "And the White family?"
"The overall situation with the White family is not as good as the Bennett family's, and the second young master of the White family is involved in various shady businesses." Liam Anderson added. "By the way, Commander, from what I've gathered, the relationship between the White family and the prestigious Greenwood clan in the capital is quite unusual."
"Is that so?" Billy's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Yes. Furthermore, Jay White is currently courting the second young lady of the Greenwood Clan. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the two families may form a union."
"Interesting," Billy said casually.
"Commander, should I go to the Special Patrol Division and inquire about the reasons for Mr Bennett's arrest?" Liam Anderson continued.
"You won't get any real information by asking them," Billy shook his head slightly. "I'll make a call to Stan and have him investigate."
After saying this, he took out his phone to dial.
