The Supreme Soldier in the City

Lucy Campbell was calm until the next morning before she called Christopher Brown, the Mayor. She wasn’t worried at all that James Brown would run into any trouble overnight; if he couldn’t even handle such a minor scene, he wasn’t the man Lucy Campbell had chosen.

Christopher Brown was quite flattered and even a bit terrified when Lucy Campbell personally visited his office. It was the first time Lucy Campbell had come to his office, and she even mentioned she had something to show him, instructing him to summon Mayor Michael Johnson and Police Chief John Harris.

The three of them waited in the office for Lucy Campbell, all clueless about what she intended to do. But one thing was clear to them: Lucy Campbell was seeking them out for a very important matter, otherwise, she would not have chosen such an occasion.

Upon Lucy’s arrival, the three heavyweights from the city welcomed her in. Lucy smiled faintly and said, "YODC City really does have talents."

Mayor Christopher Brown was startled and hurriedly said, "Miss Johnson, I don’t know who has offended you, but we will definitely handle it seriously."

"Secretary Johnson, you misunderstand me. I’m talking about a policewoman from YODC named Helen Wilson. She went alone to investigate a smuggling syndicate and has gathered plenty of evidence. Here is the evidence; take a look."

Christopher Brown was shocked. He was well aware of the smuggling syndicate in YODC City. Although he wasn’t involved, the syndicate’s protective umbrella was too extensive, affecting many departments in YODC, making him, the Mayor, hesitant to act against it.

Now that Lucy Campbell knew about it and had evidence, he was clear that no matter how powerful the protection racket was, he had to take action.

At that moment, Chief John Harris started sweating profusely. This matter was within his jurisdiction. Although he hadn’t directly taken benefits from William Armstrong, he hadn’t refused the advantages offered by the people related to William Armstrong.

Lucy Campbell knew all too well the machinations of the bureaucracy. She had already read much from the expressions of the three men, but she didn’t expose it. Disrupting the entire YODC wasn’t her intention; her message was clear enough. It was up to them to conduct the investigation and find scapegoats, and she would stay out of it.

Mayor Michael Johnson was particularly frustrated at this time. He was due to retire after this term and didn’t want trouble. He sternly said to John Harris, "Chief N, you must handle this matter immediately. No matter who is involved, we must investigate thoroughly and show no leniency."
