The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 576

The phone at the main office of Vanguard Agency in Sea City rang.

"Percival, do you have any idea what you've done? If this undermines our troops' morale, can you handle the consequences?"

The person questioning Percival was Director Webster, the director of Vanguard Agency's main office and Vance's immediate boss.

Percival's response was cool and indifferent. "So letting my guys get shot for no good reason doesn't affect morale?"

Webster let out a heavy sigh. "If you have a grievance, you take it up with the agency. How can you just take matters into your own hands? Leopold's case has been decided." "And who's Vance's direct superior? He assigned this mission. Shouldn't he be the one to give us an explanation?" Percival was tired of beating around the bush with Webster.

It was the same old song and dance, not solving anything. If Webster was calling personally, it meant he was not involved.

That left the bigwig behind the scenes - someone even Webster had to treat with kid gloves.

"I know you've got beef with Vance, and yes, he gave Leopold the order, but someone's got his back. The main office has warned him sternly, and he's cut off from ever returning to the main office. For his career, that's a dead end. You're young, Percival. Think before you act."

Realizing Webster was dodging the real issue, Percival snapped back, "If I don't get an explanation, I'll come to the main office myself."

"You..." Webster sighed again, playing dumb. "Whatever is going on, it's above your pay grade. Just help Vance manage things in Rivenwood and focus on GTO. GTO's been quiet; stay sharp. That's all." With that, Webster hung up.

Percival gripped the receiver, a storm brewing in his eyes, swearing that he would drag the person behind this into the light one day.

He had a gut feeling that this person was tied to the traitor within Vanguard Agency.
