Brother, Do You Know Vice Admiral Victor

CP and the Navy are two departments of the World Government, belonging to two separate systems.

The Navy is the face of the World Government, operating in the open.

CP is the World Government's direct intelligence agency, operating in the shadows.

Therefore, it's unreasonable to have CP4 investigate Oren's case.

However, having CP4 investigate would demonstrate the World Government's level of concern.

This would silence the affiliated nations.

After all, CP and the Navy are not in the same system, so there's no suspicion of cover-up.

"Really, to make me investigate such a boring case."

A warship without a hull number docked at Fast Port. A man in a black and white striped suit with slicked-back hair stood on the left side of the ship, complaining.

After the warship docked, the man strode off the ship with an arrogant gait.

The man's name was Gana, the highest-ranking officer of CP4.

Behind Gana followed a hundred agents.

This was Gana's style of operation; no matter where he went, he had to have a hundred people with him.

This not only made him look imposing when walking but also ensured his safety wherever he went.

Count Reinhardt was waiting for Gana at the dock.

Gana approached Count Reinhardt, took out his identification from his pocket, and flashed it in front of Count Reinhardt. "My name is Gana, this is my ID."

"Mr. Gana, this way please."

At Count Reinhardt's invitation, Gana got into a carriage.

In the carriage, Count Reinhardt briefly mentioned some 'coincidental' matters to Gana.

Gana, upon hearing this, made no comment.

Count Reinhardt and Duke Richard had inquired about Gana through various channels and believed that Gana would not believe their one-sided account without seeing evidence.

Of course, to get Gana to do anything, they had to offer him benefits.

Gana was a greedy person.

The carriage stopped in front of Count Reinhardt's mansion.

Gana and Count Reinhardt entered the mansion together.

Although it had been plundered by Pirates and even partially burned down, Count Reinhardt owned many houses, and repairs were made quickly.

Therefore, the reception was of high standard.

After the two were seated, Count Reinhardt poured Gana a drink and said, "This wine is a specialty of our country, a high-grade red wine from the South Blue. I've also prepared some for you to take back, Mr. Gana."

Ten servants carried wooden chests filled with wine and presented them to Gana.

The chests were opened in front of Gana.

The chests were filled with cash!

Each chest contained 20 million Belly.

200 million Belly.

Gana's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face. He drank the high-grade red wine and said, "I will start investigating this case immediately. As long as the evidence is conclusive, the offenders will be severely punished."

Money makes the world go 'round.

The nobles knew this well.

Moreover, Count Reinhardt had already inquired and knew that Gana was someone who would do anything for money.

Gana had framed many people for money in the past.

His reputation was as bad as it could get.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Gana. The Kingdom of Arthur will not forget your efforts," Count Reinhardt said with a smile.

Since Gana had accepted 200 million Belly, he naturally had to investigate.

As the saying goes, the one who tied the bell to the tiger's neck must be the one to untie it.

To investigate whether the attack on Fast Port was carried out by Branch 189.

It was simple: just interrogate the Navy from Branch 189 separately.

As for whether they would confess?

It didn't matter; if you want to condemn someone, you can always find a reason.

Of course, this was all contingent on Count Reinhardt being willing to pay more.

200 million Belly alone wouldn't satisfy Gana.

Gana arrived at William Port.

Order had already been restored in William Port.

If not for the traces of burning still visible on the buildings within the port, one wouldn't even know it had been attacked by pirates.

At this moment, Gana noticed something.

All merchants and travelers who landed at William Port were lining up to 'donate money.'

Gana leaned in for a closer look. The money was being donated to the Navy's retired and disabled fund.

"What happens if you don't donate?"

At this point, a traveler in gray clothes asked.

Another traveler wearing a yellow hat replied, "Then you can't enter William Port and will be taken in for investigation."

The traveler in gray asked, "Why?"

The traveler in the yellow hat replied, "This is a rule set by the Navy."

Gana thought gathering evidence would be troublesome, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.

Forcing donations just to enter the port was extortion.

However, Gana also admired the commander of Branch 189. Not only were they greedy, but they were also quite bold.

Openly extorting money—this method of wealth accumulation was faster than pirates robbing people!

Just as Gana and his group were about to leave the port, a squad of Marine Soldiers stopped them. "Wait."

"What is it?" Gana asked, frowning.

The Second Lieutenant blocking their path reminded them, "Go to the back of the line."

Gana took out his identification and casually flashed it. "See?"

It was a CP4 identification.

"CP4?"

After receiving the identification and knowing Gana was from CP4, the Marine Second Lieutenant asked, "What are you doing here?"

"We're from CP4 investigating a case. Do we need to explain ourselves to you?" Gana chuckled. He didn't hold the Marines of the South Blue branch in high regard.

"Please wait, we need to verify."

At this, the Second Lieutenant went to contact Oren.

Gana snorted and lit a cigarette.

In the South Blue, CP4 could do whatever they pleased.

After a while, the Second Lieutenant returned and allowed Gana to pass.

Gana put away his identification and swaggered towards the Branch 189 base.

Meanwhile, Oren, upon learning that Gana had entered the port, was waiting with a group of officers.

After Gana and Oren met, Gana presented his identification and a World Government investigation document, then stated, "We received a report from the Kingdom of Arthur. Starting now, Branch 189 will be under investigation."

Reported by the Kingdom of Arthur?

The Marine generals behind Oren became somewhat nervous.

If it were Marine Headquarters investigating, they wouldn't be afraid.

However, CP was not part of their system.

They didn't usually interact with CP.

People are most afraid of the unknown!

Oren heard this and, with a smile, approached Gana. He whispered in Gana's ear, "Brother, do you know Vice Admiral Victor?"

"Vice Admiral Victor? Of course, I know him," Gana replied casually.

He certainly knew Victor.

Victor had become a supernova in the Navy over the past few months!

Gana was certain that Victor would definitely be promoted to Admiral, or even Fleet Admiral, in the future!

Oren suddenly raised his arm and shouted loudly, "Long live Lord Victor!"

This sudden shout bewildered Gana.
