Chapter 839 Earl


    Not long after Fritz left, a few military jeeps roared to a stop at the entrance of the building materials


    market.

    Armed military officers hopped out of the vehicles and ran into the market, led by the ombudsman of


    the South Sea Military Region, Sophus.


    “Mr. Campbell, please ept my sincere apology. I had no prior knowledge of my subordinate''s


    actions, nor did I anticipate you getting caught up in this situation.”


    Donald apuded sarcastically and retorted, “Oh, so you''re suggesting that if I hadn''t stumbled


    upon this, you wouldn''t have bothered investigating? Well, regardless, I''ve restrained him. It''s up to


    you to handle him, but let me make one thing clear: I won''t tolerate any attempts to cover up his


    crimes. Doing so would only provoke my anger.”


    Sophus shed a meek smile and dared not say anything.


    Gren''s identity was insignificant. It was evident that he must have received support from a powerful


    entity to acquire the gun from the military.


    The greater the potential profits, the stronger the force backing him must be.


    Sophus was sly enough not to make any promises. He steered the conversation in a different


    direction and suggested, “Mr. Campbell, it''s been quite some time since ourst meeting, hasn''t it?


    How about we enjoy a drink together today?”


    Donald frowned and asked, “You''re on duty today, aren''t you? Can you drink?”


    The South Sea Military Region, one of the prominent military regions in Yorknd, frequently found


    itself embroiled in various situations.


    However, this was not indicative of anyxity on their part. On the contrary, their responsibilities


    epassed a vast region, including the southern border of Yorknd, Beshya.


    While the Beshya border might be unfamiliar to ordinary citizens, those within the South Sea Military


    Region were well aware of its significance. It served as a notorious pathway utilized by drug and


    firearm smugglers.


    To the north of Beshyay the Salcour Peaks, a challenging terrain to traverse, let alone for


    smuggling operations.


    On the southern side of Beshya was the vast ocean of Yorknd.


    Should they opt for maritime smuggling, they would require a secluded location to dock their boats.


    Nevertheless, Yorknd had strict security measures across the coastline. Consequently, Beshya,


    nestled within a forested area, became the prime choice for smugglers seeking an optimal pathway.


    Every once in a while, an influx of smugglers would infiltrate from Astoria into Yorknd.


    Recognizing that relying solely on the drug police was insufficient, the Special Operation Forces


    stationed within the South Sea Military Region would actively engage in apprehending these


    smugglers.


    Due to the continuous smuggling activities at the border, the South Sea Military Region remained


    vignt at all times. They understood the need for swift action, and in the event of any border


    incident, all personnel were expected to promptly assume their positions and respond ordingly.


    Sophus chuckled. “Well, I received orders to drink with you today. Otherwise, I wouldn''t dare drink


    even when I''m off duty.”


    “You received orders to drink with me?”


    Before Donald could ask any more questions, Sophus opened the car door and said, “Mr. Campbell,


    let''s talk over a meal. Come on.”


    As the owner of Quadfield, Donald was technically a soldier in Yorknd.


    That was why he flew into a rage when he saw Gren patronizing others d in the military uniform.


    Since Sophus required his help, Donald agreed to go with him.


    They soon arrived at a restaurant, Spring Begonia. The moment they sat down, the owner of the


    restaurant, La Baker, came over to wee them.


    “Greetings. Are you here for lunch?”


    “Of course. Why else would wee to your restaurant?”


    La offered a cating smile. “Yes, please pardon my dumb question. Here is the menu. What


    would you like for lunch?”


    Spring Begonia had an appealing interior design. However, the culinary offerings of the restaurant


    consisted of humble andforting home-cooked dishes.


    Donald and Sophus ordered a few dishes.


    While La was serving the dishes, Sophus'' expression turned serious as he informed Donald,


    “We''ve received information about an organization called Earl. They are nning to smuggle


    firearms into the country. Considering the volume of firearms they typically handle, General Holk is


    concerned that their illicit activities would lead to widespread unrest. He has tasked the South Sea


    Military Region with intercepting them at the border.”
