Chapter 1647


    Timothy knew that he could not shirk his responsibility when something as grave as that took ce


    under his supervision.


    Not only would he lose his job this time, he might even be killed.


    In a quivering voice, he pleaded, “General, I know there''s no way to absolve myself from the me.


    However, I sincerely ask you for a chance to redeem my mistake.”

    Timothy knew he had screwed up big time.


    He needed Nathan to put in some good words for him so that he could be granted a chance to


    redeem his mistake. Otherwise, he would definitely end up dying.


    At first, Nathan was reluctant to ede to his request, considering that Timothy was a man on


    Boris'' side.


    Yet, something inspired him to change his mind in the eleventh hour.


    Nonchntly, he asked, “You want a chance to redeem your mistake? Very well, I''ll give you that.


    Make your greatest effort in finding out the mastermind behind this ambush. Also, I want to know


    how they sneaked into our country and then into this city. How did they get their hands on so many


    weapons in such a heavily guarded city like Brimmopolis? Someone must have been helping them.


    Find out that person for me.”


    The more Timothy listened to Nathan, the more terrified he was, as he realized that the matter was


    much moreplicated than met the eyes.


    Generally speaking, mercenaries will find it hard to sneak their way into Brimmopolis, even if they


    manage to make it past the border of the nation.Given that they were such arge army, it was


    difficult to remain


    inconspicuous.Brimmopolis hasid down a set of stringentws to regte the ownership of


    weapons.So, someone must have been helping them to gather the weapons. That person must be


    an extraordinary one.Other than having a distinguished and powerful background, that person must


    have a feud with the General too. Otherwise, the person would have no reason to help a bunch of


    people who wanted to kill the General.


    After doing some analysis, several big shots who did not see eye to eye with Nathan in Brimmopolis


    popped up in Timothy''s mind.


    Even Mr. Tucker and Mr. Davier were among the list of possible suspects in his mind.


    Looking deeply shaken, he was overwhelmed by how huge this entire matter could be. Goodness


    gracious, who could be the culprit? Could it be one of the wealthy families in the city, or could it be


    Mr. Tucker or Mr. Davier?


    In his opinion, it would be easier to deal with the matter if the culprit was one of the wealthy families


    in the city. However, it was a whole new ball game if either Mr. Tucker or Mr. Davier was involved. If


    the matter was a sh between the members of the Cab and Nathan, Timothy was sure that he


    would be sacrificed if he meddled with it.


    Looking at Timothy''s anguished expression, Nathan knew what was holding him back.


    With a sly smile, he said, “Now that I''ve offered you the chance, it''s your choice whether you want to


    take it or not. If you are bold enough to do it, I''ll inform your superior officer about your intention to


    take charge of the investigation and nab everyone who''s rted to the case. If you don''t think you''re


    up for it, I won''t say anything to your superior officer and he will be free to punish you in any way he


    likes. I bet you know very well deep down inside that you are bound to suffer something more than


    just being fired.”


    Timothy was on pins and needles. With beads of sweat on his forehead, anxiety was written all over


    his face. “General, I..." he hesitated.


    “You''d better consider your decision carefully,” Nathan reminded him in a cold voice.


    “Either you get to the bottom of this case and redeem yourself, or you bear the responsibility of your


    grave negligence. You will risk having your whole life ruined as you will likely face a sentence of life


    imprisonment.”


    Timothy came from a poor family. Through sheer hard work, he managed toe this far to


    be a man with achievements. In other words, he made his family and his hometown proud.


    He did not want and could not ept that his life was going to be ruined.


    Gritting his teeth, he told Nathan his decision. “General, I''d like the chance to redeem myself.


    Please believe me that I will get to the bottom of this and arrest everyone rted to it.”


    Nathan nodded and acknowledged him, “Great then! I will inform your superior officer to let you be


    in charge of this case. Yet, I must give you a reminder beforehand - since you have decided to


    investigate the matter, I expect you to do a thorough job by providing me with all the avable


    details. If brushing me off with a flippant job is what you have on your mind, don''t be surprised if I


    decide to get even with you.”
