Axel's eyes narrowed sharply. "I'm here under official orders. The prosecutor's office has authorized the arrest of Councilman Savoy for interrogation. Please do not interfere with the execution of judicial duties! "We haven't been notified of any such order. We know only to keep unauthorized individuals out. None of them shall set foot in here!" The bodyguard responded with growing sternness.

Axel's lips curled into a mocking smile, his gaze icy. "Are you aware that you're already breaking the law?"

Unintimidated and confident in their powerful backing, the bodyguards disregarded Axel.

"Heh, given how you're dressed, you don't look like you're officially dispatched. If you're so concerned about us making an arrest, it suggests only one thing. You're with the Iverson Group." Axel sneered. The bodyguard became visibly flustered.

Before stepping in, Lance Iverson had clearly instructed them not to mention the Iverson name, no matter what.

Their job was to delay anyone from entering to allow the Iversons more time to manage the situation. If the authorities were to take Theodore into custody, it would mean a definite and irreversible downfall for him.

Therefore, they stubbornly insisted, "No! We're not from the Iverson Group! We're here to maintain order at this venue on behalf of Mayor Solloway!"

"Oh? Are you with Mayor Solloway? Why don't I recognize any of you then?"

Suddenly, a calm voice, followed by footsteps, drew everyone's attention.
