Chapter 1183 - 1183

"Megan..."

Seeing Megan Goodman walk downstairs.

Bohdan Sherwood called out worriedly.

Megan Goodman walked directly up to Dirk Carter.

Grasping his hand, she said with a trembling voice, "Dirk, please, no matter what, you have to help clear my parents' name, can you?"

These words.

Dirk Carter could not refuse.

He could only nod his head.

Then.

Megan Goodman walked over to Bohdan Sherwood.

At this moment, her eyes were already moist.

"Dad Bohdan, I know the person who cares for me the most in this world is you. Under your protection, every day of my life has been filled with happiness. Thank you for raising me all these years. Before I die, I have only one wish, and that's to see the person who harmed my parents brought to justice. I beg you..."

Saying this.

Megan Goodman's knees went soft, and she was about to kneel.

But Bohdan Sherwood caught her.

He said emotionally, "Megan... avenging your parents is also a long-cherished wish of mine. It's just that I'm afraid... afraid that you..."

"It's okay."

Megan Goodman shook her head vigorously.

She said, "It's really okay. It makes me happy to do this. Even... even when I go to heaven to meet them, I can give them an explanation, right?"

Such words.

Even made Dirk Carter feel a bit troubled inside.

After a moment of silence.

Bohdan Sherwood nodded.

He let out a long sigh.

And called out towards the door, "Secretary Lewis, come in for a moment."

Anton Lewis, who had been waiting at the door, walked in and respectfully asked, "Leader, you called for me?"

"Get in touch with Linden Vincent, and see him in my office in an hour."

Bohdan Sherwood said.

Linden Vincent?

Hearing this name.

Dirk Carter's heart skipped a beat.

Who is Linden Vincent?

He's the chairman of the Supreme Disciplinary Committee.

Meeting with him means Bohdan Sherwood has decided to take action.

"Yes! I'll go arrange it now."

After acknowledging.

Anton Lewis turned and left.

Bohdan Sherwood pulled Megan Goodman's hand, and they sat on the sofa.

Dirk Carter was reminded of the scene he saw at the hotel before coming over.

After some hesitation.

He gathered courage and said, "Leader, there's another very important matter I need to report."

"Proceed."

Bohdan Sherwood nodded and said.

"Have you heard of The Astral Sect?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Bohdan Sherwood looked puzzled and asked, "What is The Astral Sect?"

Dirk Carter briefly recounted what he personally witnessed concerning The Astral Sect.

Bohdan Sherwood's brows furrowed immediately.

He asked, "Are you saying The Astral Sect is growing rapidly and has spread to multiple states?"

"The situation might be worse. From what I've gathered, it may have expanded nationwide, and many government officials have joined The Astral Sect. I've experienced it firsthand; those so-called Believers are fanatically devoted, and wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice themselves for The Astral Sect..."

The situation was already this critical.

Yet the upper echelons were still unaware.

Furthermore, Dirk Carter mentioned that The Astral Sect started in Serenity State and had been developing for years.

Yet, no one in Serenity has ever reported such issues.

This indicates that someone powerful is supporting The Astral Sect from the shadows.

Thinking of this.

Bohdan Sherwood asked, "Is this what you wanted to report?"

Dirk Carter shook his head.

And said, "The cult itself isn't fearsome, but today, before coming here, I think I saw Elston Houseman, and he met with the founder of The Astral Sect, Ron Linden, at a hotel."

"What did you say?"

Bohdan Sherwood stood up abruptly.

Startling Megan Goodman beside him.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Elston Houseman has been detained. How could he appear in a hotel? You must be mistaken."

Bohdan Sherwood asserted firmly.

Dirk Carter shook his head.

And said, "I hope I am mistaken, but I've studied traditional Chinese medicine since childhood. Though I didn't see his face, I recognize bone structure well, and it's unlikely I'd be wrong."

Bohdan Sherwood's breathing.

Became noticeably rapid.

He hurried into his study.

Picked up the red desk phone, dialed a short number, and soon it connected from the other end.

Then.

He pressed the speaker button.

So Dirk Carter could hear as well.

"This is Bohdan Sherwood."

Before the other party could speak.

Bohdan Sherwood said.

The person on the other end became evidently flustered.

And responded, "Hello, Commissioner Sherwood, this is Genaro Scott."

"I'm asking you, where is Elston Houseman now?"

"Elston Houseman? Seems he's in Detention Center 401."

Genaro Scott said from the other end.

It's worth mentioning.

Detention Center 401, located in Argentum.

Is specifically used for detaining high-ranking officials before sentencing.

Hearing this, Bohdan Sherwood burst into anger, shouting, "What do you mean 'seems in 401'? Answer me clearly, where exactly is he?"

"In Detention Center 401."

Genaro Scott responded.

Bohdan Sherwood took a deep breath.

And his tone softened.

Saying, "Alright, I know now."

Then, he hung up the phone.

Looking at Dirk Carter standing in front of him, he said, "Detention Center 401 is under the supervision of the Supreme Procuratorate. Every detainee inside is closely monitored by multiple departments. It's absolutely impossible for anyone to get out, so you must be mistaken."

"Let's hope so."

Dirk Carter exhaled in relief and said.

To be honest.

He too hoped he was mistaken.

After all, if Cullen Houseman could get out of Detention Center 401.

It would mean even this supreme national enforcement agency is just a facade.

Returning to the sofa, Bohdan Sherwood.

Appeared quite worried.

Frowning, he pondered for a while.

And said, "Let's set aside the matter of Cullen Houseman for now. I'll have someone thoroughly investigate it, but we can't let the situation with The Astral Sect continue any longer."

After finishing this sentence.

He looked at Dirk Carter sitting opposite him.

And said, "Here's the plan: let's put the issues of Novaria State on hold. You make a trip back home, resolve The Astral Sect problem first, and then return to Novaria State, how about that?"

Dirk Carter knew.

The so-called trip back home didn't mean returning home to visit.

Bohdan Sherwood clearly intended to transfer him to Serenity State.

"I'll follow the leader's orders."

Without a second thought, Dirk Carter responded.

Bohdan Sherwood nodded.

And said, "Later, I'll discuss with Chairman Zhao, and temporarily assign you as Deputy Secretary of the Novaria State Commission for Discipline Inspection, transitioning from a deputy department to a principal department position. After which, we'll transfer a group of people for you to use. Once you've concluded Adonis Forrest's case, head to Serenity State immediately. As for the specific position, I'll give it some thought."
