Chapter 1634 His World Collapsed
The Special Unit? In an instant, Enzo was sent into a state of panic. His forehead broke into a cold sweat, and his mind buzzed as the gravity of the situation hit him hard. Only one thought echoed in his head everything was over!
Ordinary people might not recognize the name, but as a provincial government employee, he knew it all too well. The Special Unit operated beyond their jurisdiction.
Strictly speaking, the Special Unit's administrative level was significantly higher than theirs.
The Special Unit handled large-scale cases and would sometimes even collaborate directly with Special Forces in operations. They answered directly to the country and were extremely secretive. Even high-ranking officials wouldn't know who these people were.
After what felt like an eternity, Enzo managed to find his voice. Wiping his brow nervously, he forced a strained smile and stammered, "A misunderstanding this must be a misunderstanding. May I ask for your name?
"We hadn't anticipated that the Special Unit would be handling domestic matters. We only wish to understand what Mr. Nord's daughter is accused of. Naturally, if she's truly involved in something against social order, she should face punishment!"
Enzo's words carried a tone of forced righteousness as he attempted to salvage the situation!
Wynter had left the phone on speaker, allowing Keesha to hear everything.
Keesha's shrill voice sounded. "Who did you say should be punished? Are you out of your mind, Enzo Maximus? Do you want to lose your job? Put my dad on the phone! I'm going to make sure he fires you!
"This has always been easy to handle. What's different this time? Oh, I get it, there's probably another inspection from the top, isn't there?"
She scoffed, thoroughly convinced of her insight. "Well, I don't care what you're so worried about. I'm not staying in this precinct for another minute. You'd better get over here and smooth this out with the police or whatever unit they're called. Get in touch with your connections."
On the other end, Enzo could only wish he was dead. He was helpless to stop her tirade, but every word she spoke was digging his grave deeper. By now, his eyes were filled with despair.
This was when Wynter decided to chuckle. "So, this was all usually 'easy to handle,' huh? It seems that Mr. Nord and Mr. Maximus made a habit of bending the rules. From the looks of this lady over here, I must say you people are truly impressive."
Enzo opened his mouth to respond, but before he could even muster a word, the line went dead as Wynter ended the call.
To Wynter, there was no point in entertaining more empty words over the phone. It would be far more productive to let them do the talking once the cuffs were on.
After the call abruptly ended, Enzo felt as though the ground beneath him was crumbling. He braced himself against the desk, swaying slightly from the weight of the moment.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
His assistant, Gabriel Nox, seeing his distress, rushed forward to support him. "Mr. Maximus, are you okay? Is it low blood sugar?"
Enzo took a deep breath. "Quick, find a way to get Mr. Nord out here. Tell him I have an urgent matter to discuss!" "Alright, don't worry," Gabriel said, though his confusion was palpable. He couldn't imagine what could be more urgent than the meeting happening right now, but he quickly turned and rushed toward the third floor.
Meanwhile, in the auction's chaotic aftermath, Keesha stayed stunned. She hadn't expected the call to end just like that.
To her surprise, Wynter didn't let her off even after the phone call. In fact, she even wanted to bring her away, which was a blow to her pride.
With a sharp, mocking laugh, she sneered. "Do you even know what the name 'Julius Nord' means in this province? You have no idea who you're dealing with! Where are these country bumpkins even coming from?" She fumed, believing that those who enjoyed privileges like hers were always exceptionally clever and savvy.
