Upon hearing this name, Wade’s pupils flickered, then he smiled and said, “So it’s Mrs. Larsen, my apologies.”
Wade had known her from his time in Stresall. They were not close but just nodding acquaintances.
However, since Chelsea married into the Larsen family in Ofrustol City, they had lost touch completely, hardly having anything to do with each other. So why would Chelsea suddenly call him? The only explanation could be…
For the matter concerning Frank and Cruz Duncan.
Chelsea chuckled lightly, “Inspector Wade, you hold a high position now, and it’s natural for you to forget me. I won’t take up too much of your valuable time.”
Wade disregarded her sarcastic tone and smiled faintly, “Mrs. Larsen, you’re jesting. I hardly consider myself in a high position.”
“Just fulfilling my duties,” he added.
Chelsea’s tone turned chilly, “I heard that my brother’s case was personally arranged by Inspector Wade?”
“It was,” Wade replied nonchalantly.
“The murderer is quite obvious, Inspector Wade. Is this not an abuse of power for personal gain?” Chelsea’s voice grew icy. “I may not be powerful, but I still have connections in Ofrustol City…”
“Inspector Wade, be careful not to play with fire.”
Her words carried a warning, heavily tinged with threat.
Wade chuckled lightly, “Frank and Cruz Duncan are suspected of kidnapping. In such matters, forgive my bluntness, but they had it coming. I’m just doing my job impartially.”
“Lastly…”
“I advise Mrs. Larsen, it’s best you don’t get involved in this matter. Otherwise, getting out won’t be so easy once you’re entangled. That’s all I have to say.”
Upon hearing this, Chelsea gritted her teeth, her eyes burning with rage. “So, Inspector Wade, are you determined to protect this murderer?”
“I’m just doing my job impartially,” Wade replied indifferently.
Regardless, this matter was lawful and reasonable. His methods were merely to conceal Quentin’s true identity.
“If there’s nothing else, I have official business to attend to. Goodbye, Mrs. Larsen,” Wade said before hanging up.
“You…”
Chelsea seethed as she heard the dial tone.
“Wade, oh Wade… Do you think you’re impressive just being a small inspector in Stresall? Let me tell you, I can easily destroy you with a single thought…”
Her eyes filled with intense murderous intent. “No matter who he is, if he killed my brother, I will make him pay with his own blood!”
She didn’t understand why Wade would favor this wretched dog, but in her eyes, such a person was not to be feared.
With the Larsen family backing her, she had no fear of a mere rookie!
Even if he had some skills, in this world, might doesn’t always mean right!
Power was the strongest force in the world!
Chelsea suppressed her anger and waved for a young man in a suit to come over.
“Madam, how may I assist you?”
The young man was respectful.
“Ben, immediately book me a flight to Stresall,” Chelsea ordered.
“Yes!”
As Ben turned to leave, Chelsea called him back, her face dark as she lit a cigarette. “Also, arrange for some martial experts from the Duncan family.”
At the Pittman family’s rental house, Quentin parked the car, changed into a clean coat to rid himself of the blood, and then headed upstairs. Upon entering, he saw several worried faces.
Charlotte’s eyes lit up with joy as she recognized him, rushing into his arms as soon as he appeared at the door…
