Chapter 1117
The Almighty Dragon General
After receiving Jamesâ order, Nathaniel swiftly left.
James looked at Delilah and gave his assurance, âDonât worry, Iâll thoroughly investigate the matter.
No matter who was the one behind this, they will not escape justice.â Delilah thanked James gratefully,
âThank you so very much, James.
If not for you, I really donât know what I should do.
Yesterday, I would have been...â James waved his hand slightly and interrupted her, âYou're General
Kimberlyâs daughter.
Your affairs are my affairs.
Besides, Iâve told you to call me if you have any difficulties.â âGot it, I will.â Delilah smiled.
âWhat do you plan to do today? Let me send you back for now.â Since James had nothing to do in the
military region, he offered to send her back.
After a brief contemplation, Delilah said, âNothing much, I plan to return and await your good news.
All this while, my mom has been worried sick about my dad.
Sheâs worried that heâs...â Yesterdayâs investigation did not reveal her stepfatherâs whereabouts.
James said, âI'll investigate via other channels and find his whereabouts.
I'll notify you once I find him.â âThank you.â âTâll send you back.â James stood up.
Then, the two left the office.
After leaving the building, James personally drove Delilah back.
Delilahâs family was rich.
And since she was also a popular actress, she had a steady stream of income.
Now, however, everything that was worth something had been sold off.
Even her savings were gone.
Now, she was staying with her mother in the suburbs.
The place was called Bruton District.
The neighborhood, which was constructed a few decades ago, was considered an old area.
Even so, in a place like the Capital, rental prices were exorbitant.
âRight over there.â After arriving in Bruton District, Delilah pointed at an apartment building and said,
âMy mom and I are staying here.
You can send me off here, James.
I can head upstairs myself.â â1'll go have a look,â James said.
He did know Travisâ family members, but he only knew he hada daughter.
It was only when he met Delilah in the Southern Plains last time that he learned bits and pieces about
Travis.
James learned that Travis had a falling out with his wife.
His wife believed he was a good-for-nothing who would only drink and gamble.
In the end, she thought that he disappeared without a trace after being pursued by loan sharks.
After that, she remarried another man.
Although the state has made known Travisâ contributions to Sol, James still felt the need to explain in
person.
Travis was a national hero, not a good-for-nothing alcoholic.
Since James insisted, Delilah gently nodded.
She showed the way while James followed close behind.
On the seventh floor...
A few men in black shirts were walking along the corridor.
âBoss, is this the place?â âOur information is reliable.
Once we capture the mother and daughter, we'll be rich!â âThis should be safe, right?â âTotally! 1
investigated their background.
They are ordinary people.
Besides, the Tucksons are the ones ordering the capture.
Even if they have someone behind them, do they stand a chance against the Tucksons?â Soon, they
stopped in front of a door.
A forty-year-old-looking man in the lead glanced at the house number and said, âThis is the place.â
âBoss, let me do the knocking.â A honcho stepped forward and knocked on the door forcefully.
âWho's there?â A voice came from inside.
âOpen the door.
Weâre here to deliver the gas you ordered.â This was the room Delilah and her mother rented.
Though her mother was approaching fifty years of age, she looked very young.
Wearing an apron, she was sweeping the floor when she heard a knock on the door.
She frowned.
