Chapter 969 Internal Affairs
Chapter 969 Internal Affairs
Ryan’s body had instinctively acted before his mind could properly think. Everything he had eaten felt like churning up out of his mouth.
When seeing Kanu enter, Ryan knew who he was; there wouldn’t be many that didn’t. The White Rose had gone through big changes, and one of them was putting more effort into the Internal Affairs team with the superintendent.
The group of people was to keep the White Rose in line and true to their goal. They had weeded out every last member that was corrupted by the Phoenix Gang’s money.
Kanu, who was a squad captain, was somewhat infamous in White Rose for being a powerful member but never getting a promotion due to him being troublesome.
In the end, after certain events, he had been transferred into Internal Affairs and had received a promotion. He was involved with weeding out the Phoenix Gang, and now he was a large fear for those in White Rose.
‘Did he find out about my dealings with Sir Ken? No, that can’t be it. Why would someone so high up the ladder come down here themselves?
‘The situation with Sir Ken is small. I just look the other way sometimes, help the flow of the city and our fellow agents to continue getting donations from them. It’s not a big deal, nothing to get reprimanded over.’
“Is anyone going to speak or what?” Kanu asked. “Was there an individual suspected of being an Altered brought here? I’m pretty sure you should know.” Kanu said, walking over and casting a shadow over Ryan. The presence was overbearing and was making it hard for Ryan to breathe.
“Sir, the White Rose agent brought in someone around three hours ago. They are being held in the cells underneath,” an officer said.
“Take me to him,” Kanu asked, not looking at the officer but at Ryan. As if he knew the order was meant for him and not the officer, Ryan stood up and started to head over to the underground place.
Ryan was unable to think straight. What was going to happen to him? Who was he even here to see? Then it all came together.
“We have a meeting together, and you end up here. Maybe it would have been better for me to come to you,” Kanu stated, looking at Gary. “Anyway, before we start, do you mind telling me why he’s in this cell?”
“He attacked a civilian!” Ryan immediately said. “He hurt two civilians to the point of knocking them out. If a regular citizen did such a thing, he would be brought in as well. Since it’s an Altered that had acted, it might be an even more severe case.”
“Right, right, did you get witness statements, a full blend of the story, whether it was an act of self-defense or not? Even though Altered attacks on civilians are treated more severely, even Altereds have their rights. They can’t just let themselves get attacked… and why hasn’t a full report been filed?” Kanu asked.
Ryan didn’t have an answer for that. He brought in Gary as the guilty party because the person he attacked was Sir Ken, but there was no way he could say such a thing.
“I see, this whole case will be thrown out and dismissed, so let him out,” Kanu ordered.
Walking over, Ryan used the key to unlock the door, sliding it open, and then went over to Gary and unlocked the bindings around his hands.
“I’m sorry for my mistake,” Ryan said.
As he let Gary walk past him, he still wondered why this was happening and now that he had let Gary go, what would happen to him when Sir Ken found out.
‘This must mean, to have someone in such a high position… that’s the real Gary Dem. No wonder he was so confident because he was all buddy-buddy with someone from the internal affairs department!’ Ryan thought.
If Ryan was to act out now, he would be punished by Kanu. If he did nothing, he would suffer a similar fate from Sir Ken. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
A thought clicked in his head, a way to get rid of all his problems at once.
“Wait a moment,” Ryan said, turning around with a large smile. “I can’t believe it, you were the real deal. You really were who you said you were. You’re Gary Dem, right!”
An unavoidable laughter seemed to be coming out of Ryan, somewhat nervous. His heart was beating incredibly fast.
“You come in here and try to lecture me and order me around, yet you haven’t realized what you just revealed yourself.”
“You, Kanu, are working directly with one of the Kings! Who would have thought that you would replace the scum you were removing with even more scum?”
“When the White Rose finds out about this, they will remove you from your positions.”
Kanu looked back and then lifted his hand, clicking his fingers. The next moment, groups of men came rushing down, all of them wearing the black and red uniform.
The uniform of the Internal Affairs department. They came in and quickly cuffed Ryan before he could even do anything, and with how many men were in the room, there was no chance of Ryan escaping.
“Do you know how I found this place? By running investigations into our officers that worked on the Central Train Line.”
“Out of all of them, I had to look into them all, and I went here first looking for the most corrupt of all. I have a file on every single dealing you have made, enough to put you away and kick you out of the White Rose.”
“You know the interesting thing is, when someone’s been caught and is proven guilty, everything they say after that sounds a lot like lies.”
The Internal Affairs team started to pull Ryan away, who was dragging his feet.
“No… no… no!!” Ryan screamed.
Finally, with Kanu and just Gary together, he patted him on the back.
“I’ve been meaning to talk to you for a long time. Now let’s go have a nice talk about Jayden.”
