Chapter 288: Guardian Scott’s Big Problem

“After learning that there was a problem with the missing persons data reported by your Blue Star City, the higher-ups suspected that there was a big problem in your Blue Star City. They should be afraid that the situation in other cities would repeat itself, so they sent our 14th emergency team to investigate and provide assistance.” Lugh stared at Scott with a scrutinizing gaze, “So, our emergency team still has some doubts about you, Guardian Scott.”

Scott’s face was red with anger from Lugh. “Captain Lugh, don’t slander me!”

“Guardian Scott, don’t be angry. We are just suspecting you.”

Lugh said in a flat tone, “Regardless, I also believe that Guardian Scott’s suspicion is not high. There is indeed a possibility that the report was swapped.”

Hearing Lugh’s words, Scott’s expression eased up.

“Captain Lugh, please clear my name.”

“Mm, I’ve seen Guardian Scott’s resume, and I’ve also seen your character in detail,” Lugh nodded seriously and continued, “Regardless of whether our top priority is to deal with the Black Feather Organization, I hope that Guardian Scott can gather all the Beast Masters in Blue Star City that he can mobilize and cooperate with our emergency team to take down the Black Feather Organization hiding in the city in one fell swoop. At the very least, we can take them down. Perhaps the truth will be revealed, and the Guardian’s innocence will be restored.”

“I’ll listen to Captain Lugh.”

Scott nodded heavily and agreed.

At this time, he had no choice.

If he did not actively mobilize the main forces of Blue Star City and cooperate with the Emergency Response Team, then he would be suspected of colluding with the Black Feather Organization.

“What’s the latest?”

“Three hours, no, two hours.”

“Okay, we’ll wait for news from Guardian Scott.”

“Then the two Captains should take a rest first.”

“Okay!”

Scott left in a hurry, leaving only Lugh and the other three in the office.

The logistics staff brought tea, fruits, and snacks for Lugh and the others.

After the door closed, Lucy began to check the conference room. She did not find any eavesdropping devices or pets.

Gary said in a low voice, “I think there is probably nothing wrong with Guardian Scott. Why do you still do that?”

Lugh sat on the sofa, picked a fruit and stuffed it into his mouth. “Adjutant Lucy, you must have noticed something.”

When he was talking to Scott just now, as soon as Lucy opened her mouth, Lugh knew that she had noticed something wrong.

Because Lucy’s personality had always been cold and seldom spoke, she usually stood quietly behind Lugh.

Today, not only did she speak, she was also trying to provoke Scott, which was very unusual.

Lugh knew that Lucy was very likely reminding him at that time.

Reminding him to follow the original plan.

“There’s a problem with Scott, and it’s a big problem!”

Gary asked, “What do you mean?”

Gary did not dare to underestimate Lucy.

After all, they had worked together before. He knew that Lucy’s strength should be higher than his.

“Scott knows Morton and knows what information Morton stole. When he saw Morton, he tried to use words to guide us, to make us think that the documents had been swapped, to wash away his suspicion.”

Lucy glanced at Gary, and Gary lowered his head.

“But there’s a big flaw in this.”

Gary asked, “What flaw?”

“If the Black Feather Organization really swapped the document, they must have known that they were exposed, so why didn’t they take action? They either evacuated Blue Star City or made a move on Scott. If they knew beforehand, why would their stronghold still be discovered?”

Gary asked, “Could it be that the Black Feather Organization intentionally abandoned it?”

“If that’s the case, why would they swap out the documents?” Lucy speculated, “I guess Scott was the one who reported the documents. It’s just that after Morton went missing, Scott paid attention to it and made preparations for it. If Morton really attracted a copycat, he would push the matter of the documents onto the Beast Master who delivered the documents, then destroy the Black Feather Organization’s stronghold to prove his innocence… No matter how much we suspect him, we have no evidence.”

“Without evidence, we can’t do anything to Scott.”

The Southwest Military had always been overbearing to outsiders.

However, the punishment of internal personnel still required evidence.

Lugh asked leisurely, “Adjutant Lucy, have you ever thought that there is no problem with Scott? The documents were indeed swapped by the Black Feather Organization. However, the Black Feather Organization did not expect that Morton would appear and send the real missing persons information to Skylight City. The Black Feather Organization is indeed planning to assassinate Scott. No matter how weak they are, they haven’t found an opportunity yet. The Black Feather Organization that Scott found is bait. They want Scott to think that they have eliminated the Black Feather Organization before finding an opportunity to assassinate Scott.”

“Ee… there is indeed such a possibility.” Lucy had never thought of such an assumption, but he quickly reacted. “But hasn’t the Major not decided to make a move yet?”

“There is really something wrong with Scott, 100% .”

Gary and Lucy stared at Lugh in surprise.

“Did the Major discover something?”

“Yes!”

Lucy asked curiously, “Can you tell us about it?”

Gary also looked at Lugh with an inquisitive look. He wanted to know what Lugh had discovered, which was why he was so sure that there was something wrong with Scott.

“No.”

When Lugh saw Lucy and Gary, he could not help but laugh and say, “Anyway, all you need to know is that Scott has a big problem and everything will be done according to the plan. That will be enough.”

Lugh could tell whether there was a problem with Scott the moment he saw him.

To be more precise, it was not that he could tell.

It was that he could smell it.

Scott’s body was stained with the scent of the chrysalis of the Blue Jade Butterfly.

Moreover, it was not a single Blue Jade Butterfly chrysalis, but the mixed scent of more than twenty chrysalides.

Lugh had once smelled the scent of the Blue Jade Butterfly chrysalides in the underground breeding room of the Wolf Slayer Gang.

He had Mythical-level smell of the Berserk Bear. As long as it was the smell Lugh had smelled before, it was almost impossible to forget.

How could a Platinum-tier familiar have the smell of more than twenty Gold-tier Blue Jade Butterfly chrysalides at the same time?

Either he had entered the underground breeding base of the Black Feather Organization in Blue Star City, or he had come into contact with someone from the Black Feather Organization’s underground cultivation base.

No matter what the reason was, Scott had a big problem.

“Gary, send the emergency team over. We’re going to work together.”

“Mhm!”

Two hours later, Scott finally showed up.

“Captain Lugh, everyone has been mobilized. I’ve even mobilized quite a few elites from the Reclamation Unit. There’s a total of 53 Gold-tier Beast Masters and 130 Silver-tier Beast Masters.”

In order to clear his name, Scott worked very hard.

“Alright, let’s hold a mobilization meeting!”

“Alright,” Scott hesitated for a moment before agreeing. “Regardless of what I think, we should act as soon as possible. With such a large-scale mobilization, the Black Feather Organization might just slip away.”

“I understand.”

53 Gold-tier Beast Masters, 130 Silver-tier beastmasters, and more than 70 Gold-tier Beast Masters from the Emergency Response Team appeared on the military parade ground in Blue Star City’s military headquarters.

Scott stood on the stage and gathered the main force of Beast Masters from Blue Star City to emphasize the detestation of the Black Feather Organization. He expressed Blue Star City’s determination to destroy the Black Feather Organization, and requested them to actively cooperate with the emergency team in their encirclement.

If it wasn’t for Lugh’s incredible sense of smell, he might really have believed that Scott was innocent.

Lugh said beside Scott, “Guardian Scott, I have something to say.”

Scott nodded and said, “Next, I’d like to invite the emergency team’s 14th Team Captain Lugh.”

Scott left the stage, and Lugh stood up.

He glanced indifferently at the Beast Masters of Blue Star City and said loudly, “I, Lugh, Captain of the emergency team’s 14th Team, would like to announce the temporary appointment of the Southwest Military Department.”

Scott’s expression changed. This wasn’t in line with the plan, and Lugh didn’t mention it.

Meanwhile, the main Beast Masters of Blue Star City in the parade ground all had solemn expressions on their faces.
