Chapter
Gibby flew into a panic at once. âYou canât do this Mister Shoreson!â
âCut the crap. I want these three dead at all costs today. How dare you touch someone like me cking piece of sh*t!â
Lee glowered at Wilbur, preparing to pull the trigger.
Sammy and the rest turned pale. Unlike Darlene, Leeâs father was a government official. Lee was crazy and more than capable of bringing them a great deal of trouble.
Wilbur was not afraid of staring down the barrel of a gun, but Sammy and the rest were.
Just then, Wilbur chuckled. He reached for his pocket, pulled out his license, and showed it to Lee. Wilbur Penn, Department of Paranormal Research and Defense. Iâve got official orders from the most powerful people in the country. Donât even think about continuing what youâre about to do.â
Lee stopped short, eyeing the license. A moment later, he shouted, âMy ass! Youâre not fooling me with that fake license. Do you take me for an idiot?â
Wilbur smiled. âYou donât believe me? You can have Chief Lendis here check it for you. He might have an idea of who I am.â
Lee struggled for a beat. Wilbur looked perfectly calm, and it did not look like he was lying. However, Lee had never heard of such a department before.
Just then, Gibby said, âCan I take a look at your license?â
âSure.â Wilbur tossed it over.
Gibby inspected the license closely. It was indeed legitimately sealed and watermarked by all the relevant departments. The license did grant Wilbur a shocking amount of power.
He frowned at Wilbur incredulously. âIâm sorry, but why havenât I ever heard of a department like this one?
âI f*cking knew it! You were trying to lie to me, pretending to be some official big shot, you piece of sh*t!â Lee smirked.
Sammy and the rest exchanged glances as well. Did Wilbur actually have such a position of power as well?
Wilbur was calm himself. âYou havenât heard of my department because your rankâs too low. Feel free to ask your superior about it, or even the most powerful person in the province.â
âOne moment. Let me make a call.â Gibby was suspicious but still wanted to check for himself.
Lee said, âChief Lendis, do you seriously believe this scammer?â
âItâs only going to take a few minutes.â Gibby glanced at Lee, taking out his satellite phone and dialing a number.
Several verifications later, Gibby was connected to the person in charge at Gravonia Province. It did not take long before his expression shifted drastically.
Upon ending the call, Gibby walked back up to Lee and grabbed his gun back from him.
âWhat the f*ck are you doing? Have you lost your mind? Lee fumed
Gibby shot a glare at him before turning to bow at Wilbur âGibby Lendis, chief of the Cendonville Special Forces. Iâve received orders to help you with your investigation Iâm ready to take orders, sir.â
f*
Lee was at a loss for words, staring at Gibby blankly.
Gibby hardly paid him any mind, not dropping the hand he was saluting Wilbur with by a single inch.
Wilbur took his license back, casting a smile at Lee that sent shivers down his back.
Wilburâs expression darkened after that as he turned back to Gibby. âLee Shoreson has been found complicit in a paranormal investigation. Arrest him and hold him until I get back to interrogate him.â
âYes, sir.â
Gibby waved a hand, and his fellow officers surrounded Lee and his men at once.
Lee was positively boiling then, shouting at Gibby. âYouâre out of your f*cking mind! Touch me and Iâll have my dad fire you this very instant!â
âLee Shoreson, youâre a wanted suspect. I wonât hesitate to shut you up if you continue insulting my team
and I like this.â
