The Million-Dollar Heart
Chapter 575
The phone connected almost instantly.
Percival's voice cut through the line with a chill, "This is Deputy Director Percival of Rivenwood Vanguard Agency headquarters. My third squad leader, Leopold, is currently detained at a military prison and is set for trial tomorrow morning. I'm requesting a delay in the trial. Director Vance has unanswered questions. I repeat, postpone Leopold's trial. Director Vance has unanswered questions!"
Without waiting for a response, Percival sharply ended the call and whipped out his tablet to connect with the Sea City main office.
If Leopold was still on the docket for trial tomorrow, Percival would not hesitate to storm the military prison himself.
The message was sent to the public channel, clear for all of Vanguard Agency to see.

If this was how things were going to be, who would lay their life on the line for Vanguard Agency?
The collective anger forced the main office to reschedule Leopold's trial hastily and mute all agents on the public channel to prevent further uproar.
But the cat was out of the bag, and the situation was spiraling beyond control. Whether it was the main office or Vance himself, somebody had to give an explanation.

Percival's face remained stoic as he pocketed his tablet. "I've never cared about my career," he replied sharply.
He sank into a chair and pulled out his phone to text Vivienne, updating her on Leopold's predicament.
