Braxton Micah was not in the military region at the moment. After receiving notice, he immediately made his way there.
In just half an hour, he appeared before James.
“Sir…”
He was sweating profusely on the forehead.
James looked at the man before him. He was a three-star general and second-in-command of the Red Flame Army. After the previous Emperor’s death, he was temporarily made in charge of the Red Flame Army.
“General Micah…” James looked at him.
“Your orders, sir?” Though sweat beaded on Braxton’s forehead, he did not dare wipe them off.
James asked, “General Micah, which city do you think is the safest in Sol?”
Without the slightest bit of hesitation, Braxton said, “The Capital.”
“Yes, the Capital, the city which the Red Flame Army is in charge of. But why do I hear that there have been many incidents ever since the demise of the previous Emperor?”
James’ nonchalant attitude sent a shiver down Braxton’s spine. He asked, “S-Sir, what are you referring to, may I ask?”
James said, “There’s a company called Blue Tech Corporation in the Capital which went bankrupt all of a sudden recently. The owner disappeared without a trace. Meanwhile, his daughter, a popular actress working for an entertainment company, was fired after debt collectors went knocking on the company’s doors. Why would any decent and upright individual not pursue the legal route but instead resort to such underhanded tactics?”
“What? Preposterous!” Enraged, Braxton cried out, “How could such a thing happen in the Capital? Don’t worry, sir! I’ll investigate the matter immediately. I promise that the whole truth will be revealed tomorrow morning. If we find out that the suspects have violated the law, they will be punished severely!”
“I want the results by tomorrow morning.” Leaving this remark, James stood up and left.
Although he had ordered his subordinates to investigate the matter, he was still worried, so he specially came to the military region.
After he left, Braxton breathed a sigh of relief. Every leader would love to make an impressive start upon assuming a position. This was inevitable.
Braxton was concerned. He swiftly returned to his office.
“We’ll have a meeting in ten minutes!”
