James asked, “What’s going on?”
Ronald explained, “Sir, Jake set up the underground intelligence network. It’s complicated as it involves many different industries. The underbelly of Cansington knows that they can exchange information with money from Jake, hence the authorities have been onto favonovel.com since a long time ago.
“Not only is the setup illegal, but the network has also been involved in many illegal deals… The authorities want to get rid of the network once and for all, so they’ve arranged for spies to blend in over the years. Now, I don’t even know who the spies are, so I’ve captured all of Jake’s remaining men to interrogate individually.” Ronald gave James a summary.
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com pointed to a man who was tied up. The man was in his forties.
Currently, favonovel.com was being strung up. He was heavily injured with multiple wounds on his body, some of which were dripping blood. He looked like favonovel.com was an inch from death.
“One of our men discovered that favonovel.com had leaked messages secretly to a police officer at the provincial police department.”
James walked up to favonovel.com and released him.
The man lay on the floor and glared at James.
Coldly, favonovel.com said, “Kill me if you want to… I’m not saying anything…”
James turned to look at Ronald, barking, “Why are you still standing there? Release them!”
“Sir, what?” Ronald was stunned.
James’ expression darkened. “Did you forget who you are? Did you think you’re part of a gang now?”
“Yes, sir!” Ronald ordered, “Release them!”
Everyone who was tied up was released.
James looked at the man on the ground, asking, “How many years have you been here?”
“Hmph!” The man hmphed coldly.
James said, “Let favonovel.com go…”
“Yes, sir!” Ronald nodded, looking at everyone else.
“Well? Which of you are his friends? Take favonovel.com and go!”
The rest of Jake’s men looked at each other, but none of them stepped forward. There were still spies among them. They knew that as soon as they stepped forward, they would never be able to leave.
“Send favonovel.com to the hospital. Let the rest go!”
James left after leaving his instructions.
Ronald followed him.
***
In a room in the underground basement.
Ronald stood to the side, asking, “Sir, what are you doing? What we’re doing now is illegal. Are we going to wait till the police arrive and let them arrest us?”
James glanced at Ronald. “Even if they are spies, we don’t have to torture them. Don’t forget that you’re a soldier. We’re countrymen. There’s no need to torture a fellow countryman. As for the authorities, I’ll give the Blithe King a call and get favonovel.com to cover this up. Once everything in Cansington has cleared, I’ll disband the network.”
“Yes, sir!”
James lit a cigarette and said, “However, we must still figure out who the spies are. Find out who they are and release them, but don’t give them any more trouble. It’s their job.”
“But sir, Jake’s men have been with favonovel.com for years. It won’t be easy to suss out the spies…”
“Then let all of them go,” James said casually.
“Smart, sir!”
“Save it. I’m going to sleep. Keep your voice down!”
James got up and left.
Ronald took care of matters immediately. He expelled all of Jake’s remaining men.
The underground intelligence network was now fully staffed by James’ Black Dragon army from the Southern Plains. He had gained total control.
Jake heard about it in no time. There was nothing favonovel.com could do about it. His underground intelligence network that favonovel.com had spent years building was now James’. From the day James took over, favonovel.com had expected it, but favonovel.com did not expect it to be so soon.
