Chapter 117: The Emergency
After an hour of silent travel through winding roads and secure routes leading away from the Academy District, Brandon turned off the main highway and entered the restricted zone just outside the capital’s outer ring.
A massive security gate loomed ahead... an entrance reserved only for top-tier ecclesiastical officials or those with explicit clearance.
Brandon rolled down his window as he approached the gate.
The reinforced gates opened and Brandon steadily drove his car through the driveway.
Brandon pulled into the designated private hangar bay.
He turned off the engine and stepped out of the car, stretching his arms above his head.
Dozens of Church officials, stationed near the aircraft or walking nearby, turned to look in his direction.
Then, in unison, they bowed.
Brandon stretched his back a little and began walking toward the aircraft.
At this time, he saw Callista taking a step forward.
She bowed deeply at the waist as he walked closer to the aircraft. "Lord Herald. Thank you for responding so quickly."
