Chase was holding a conference with the higher-ups of Internal Affairs at the Novemton headquarters while all this went down.

“Sir, we’ve just received word that the men who gathered in Southrive have now surrounded your family residence,” a voice on the phone said.

Chase was completely stunned when he heard this.

“What did you say?! Wyvern Peak has surrounded my family residence?!”

“Yes, sir. Right now, Lennon and the others are outside talking it out with the men from Wyvern Peak, but we still don’t know why your house was surrounded.”

“Nonsense!” Chase yelled, “I’m the chief secretary of Novemton’s Internal Affairs! How dare War Legate Draco orders his men to surround my family!

“You there! Get me a helicopter! I’m going to my family right now!”

Chase instantly ended the conference and furiously stormed out of the conference room after yelling out his orders.

After that, a chopper flew out of Novemton toward Southrive.
