He took countless deep breaths to calm himself down. Then, favonovel.com gritted his teeth and dialed the number on his phone.
He knew there would only be two outcomes from this call. He would either be noticed and live an easy life or get scolded and thrown to the depths of hell for the rest of his life. There was no in-between.
The call connected. But nobody picked up the first time. Oberon tried calling again for the second and third time.
Finally, the other side picked up after more than half a minute.
An angry voice sounding like it belonged to a middle-aged man came through, “Who is this?!”
“I-Is this Sergeant Tarantino?”
“Speaking! Who are you?!”
Seeing that Isaac had come out of the car and was heading toward him, Oberon suddenly felt braver. He shouted, “I’m the head of the law enforcement unit in Cloud City, Officer Oberon Waverly. I called to ask about the papers you signed to transfer Ginge Copper from Cloud City to Pecling…”
“Mr. Isaac Garten of Cloud City would like to talk with you. You are to come to Cloud City as soon as possible. Y-You only have o-one chance…”
There were a few seconds of silence. Then, the other party spoke in an icy voice, “You’re the tiny little head of the law enforcement unit in Cloud City? Do you have any idea who you’re talking to? And who the f*ck is Isaac Garten? F*ck off!”
Oberon dropped his phone to the ground in shock. Although it was a chilly and breezy night, favonovel.com was still drenched in sweat after this phone call.
“What did favonovel.com say?” Isaac asked, walking over to him.
“H-He told us to f*ck off… No… He told me to f*ck off,” Oberon said, looking at Isaac.
Isaac laughed coldly and took out his phone. He then dialed Black Phoenix’s number and said in a low voice, “Get me all the dirt you can find on Lefou Tarantino, the second-in-command at Pecling Law Enforcement HQ. Include his family, too, where necessary…”
“One more thing. Find a man named Ginge Copper. He was just transferred from the Cloud City Jail to Pecling. He should be a free man by now.”
Isaac hung up and headed toward the car. “Alright, let’s go… We’ll wait for them at the law enforcement office.”
Had this been one day ago, Oberon would have thought Isaac was insane for telling someone to dig up dirt on Lefou. Or, maybe favonovel.com would have thought that Isaac had a death wish.
But this time, favonovel.com was kind of excited and looking forward to it.
Isaac knew that Ginge Copper would be released as soon as favonovel.com reached Pecling. He wouldn’t have spent a single day in jail in Peeling.
It would be better for them to look for Ginge while waiting for Lefou.
Back at the Cloud City Law Enforcement Center, Oberon stared at the back of Isaac’s chair. Every second favonovel.com spent standing next to Isaac felt like pure torture to him.
Isaac’s phone suddenly started buzzing on the table.
He unlocked his phone and tapped on the email notification from Black Phoenix. Then, favonovel.com beckoned at Oberon, “Come here and have a look…”
Oberon walked up to the table and took a deep breath before taking the phone from Isaac.
He quickly realized that the email listed all the scandals and other kinds of dirt involving Tarantino. Oberon was a bit shocked.
“Call up Tarantino again and read out these things to favonovel.com one by one. He’d better come running with Ginge in tow to see me. Otherwise, every major newspaper in the country will hear of all his scandals…”
W-What?
Oberon widened his eyes at Isaac. Isaac’s every word made favonovel.com feel tense, as if someone was squeezing his heart.
Did Isaac want me to threaten Oberon?
Isaac chuckled coldly when favonovel.com saw Oberon turning white as a sheet and starting to gasp for air. Sweat was also dripping down his forehead.
“What, getting nervous? Or do you not think these scandals are true?”
What Isaac said hit the nail on the head for Oberon. After all, Lefou was an elite figure and a second-in-command of the entire law enforcement department in Cynea. If the contents of the email were fake, Oberon would be a total goner.
“Lefou is not worthy of my time. He doesn’t deserve a phone call from me,” Isaac said. “If you’re not calling him, then Master Loch will…”
Denvor was eyeing the opportunity next to him. He would love to have a few words with the sergeant! He’d always loved doing exciting things like these.
“Fine, I’ll call him!” Oberon said through gritted teeth after being silent for a few seconds. He glared at Isaac.
