Half an hour later, in the Stealth Team of Southzobe City branch, Afton put down his cell phone and his face looked displeased. He murmured, "Fortunately, we checked it beforehand. Otherwise, I would have caused a big disaster."
"Benzo, stop all operations against Fade and retreat immediately," Afton ordered.
Benzo was also frightened at that moment. He nodded quickly and then began to give orders.
After making sure that the operation was stopped, Afton looked at the information he had found on the website earlier. His heart still couldn't help beating quickly and he was scared. "I didn't expect him to be that famous man. Fortunately, we didn't proceed with the operation. Otherwise, I would definitely be in trouble."
Just as Afton was sighing, his phone rang.
When Afton saw the familiar phone number, his face suddenly changed. "It's Pascha, Master Xu calling."
Thinking for a while, Afton adjusted his posture and cleared his throat. Then, he picked up the phone and said, "Hello, Master Xu."
"Afton, I'm sorry to trouble you on Mandell's matter. How's the operation? Have you arrested him yet?" Pascha asked directly about his main concerns.
When Afton heard this question, he couldn't help but be flustered. He almost cursed in his heart.
However, he obviously couldn't say these words, and Fade's identity was confidential. He couldn't expose it and of course, it shouldn't come from Afton's mouth.
Hence, Afton paused for a moment and came up with an excuse. He said, "Master Xu, it's a little complicated. We need to carefully investigate this matter first."
Pascha was experienced in dealing with official affairs. When he heard Afton's tone, he immediately realized that something was wrong. Suddenly, his voice sank and he asked, "Afton, is something wrong? Or, is there any problem?"
Afton explained, "Master Xu, this, this matter is indeed a little troublesome. I'm afraid that we can't simply arrest the person that you mentioned."
Hearing this, Pascha's expression became even more gloomy, "Why can't he be simply arrested? Why? The Stealth Team should be the one in charge in dealing with martial artists who committed crime."
"In theory, that's true, but this case is a little special," Afton was still explaining.
However, Pascha, who was on the other end of the line, was already a little unhappy. "Special? How special? Or, is it cause that person is more powerful and you no longer have any respect for me."
Hearing this, Afton knew that Pascha was angry. He quickly explained, "Master Xu, that sounds too extreme. No matter what, I dare not to disrespect you!"
"If you still have some respect for me, then send someone to arrest Fade and charge him for his crime," Pascha said coldly.
Afton looked hesitant, and he said, "Master Xu, I'm afraid this is really impossible for me!"
"Why can't you do it? You are the director of Stealth Team and also a Black Level martial artist, aren't you? What's there that you can't do?" Pascha was obviously angry.
Afton couldn't explain it. He could only repeat, "Mr. Xu, I'll tell you the truth. We can't do anything to Fade, thus you'd better not harm him as well. Otherwise, it will do no good to us and the Xu family."
"We shouldn't do anything to him?" Hearing this, Pascha couldn't help but be shocked. Then, he said, "We shouldn't do anything just because he is a Martial Arts Master? Even so, the Stealth Team is an official department of the state, I'm sure a Martial Arts Master like him would not dare to resist."
"Master Xu, I can't explain this further. I can only remind you to not be in conflict with Fade," Afton said.
Hearing this, Pascha snorted coldly and said, "It seems that after my retirement, no one respects me anymore. Some people just won't listen to me. In that case, I won't bother you, Afton. I will think of a way myself."
