Andrew Foster said, “Although he kept his official position, from now on, the affairs of Gale City must also be subject to the leadership of the Wuzhu Division.”

The Black Dragon Platform is a massive secret service organization, overseeing nine divisions, with the number adjusted as needed. For example, there used to be a Southern Zhao Division, established specifically to deal with a certain enemy nation in the southwest. After that nation was destroyed and became an inseparable part of the Great Win Empire, the Southern Zhao Division was disbanded.

Five years ago, the Southern Zhou Empire changed its strategy, shifting from advancing south to moving north. The no-man’s land became the strategic focus of both countries. That same year, the Black Dragon Platform established the Wuzhu Division, dedicated to intelligence work in the no-man’s land.

“A few days ago, when the Wuzhu Division of the Black Dragon Platform heard that Lord Felix Newman had chosen Mr. Gavin Clark to carry out the Gale City mission, it caused a huge uproar. Several lords strongly objected, and the scene was extremely intense.” Andrew Foster said, “If Lord Felix Newman hadn’t staked his own head and slammed the inspector’s gold token on the table, the Wuzhu Division’s Black Cavalry would have already set out to intercept and even arrest you.”

Gavin Clark knew nothing of these internal matters, but he could imagine the amount of controversy and pressure Felix Newman faced for insisting on him for the Gale City mission.

“Lord Felix Newman was sent directly from the imperial capital, specifically in charge of Gale City affairs. Although his rank is lower than the Wuzhu Division’s Governor’s Office, he has autonomy. He insisted on using you, so the Wuzhu Division’s Black Cavalry had to withdraw. However, a joint impeachment letter from several lords of the Governor’s Office has already been sent to the capital, denouncing Lord Felix Newman’s foolishness and arrogance, requesting the capital to strip him of all positions and immediately escort him to the capital for punishment.”

“I am just a minor centurion, originally of little importance. But because of that failure two years ago, the Black Dragon Platform’s undercover forces in Gale City suffered a devastating blow, so I unexpectedly became a key figure for the Black Dragon Platform in Gale City, with significant influence.”

Gavin Clark said, “Lord Foster, please be straightforward.”

Andrew Foster said, “I have received two orders, one from Lord Felix Newman, and one from the Wuzhu Division’s Governor’s Office.”

“Lord Felix Newman’s order is for you, Gavin Clark, to carry out the Gale City mission, and I am to fully cooperate.”

“The Wuzhu Division Governor’s order is for Vernon to carry out the Gale City mission, and I am to fully cooperate. Moreover, for secrecy, I am to immediately arrest you and escort you to the Black Dragon Platform’s secret prison within the empire for lifelong imprisonment.”

Vernon? Who is this person?

Andrew Foster said, “Vernon is one of our Black Dragon Platform’s elite agents. In the past ten years, he has never failed a mission and has rendered great service to the empire. He is the elite of the elite. Originally, he was supposed to carry out the Gale City mission, but your appearance replaced him.”

“Also, I’m not afraid to tell you, I am an admirer of Vernon, as are several of us here.”

“Mr. Gavin Clark, you have never received a day of training, just a small-time hoodlum from the bottom rungs of society, so the higher-ups think Lord Felix Newman must be crazy to entrust such an important mission to you.”

Not just the Black Dragon Platform’s higher-ups—even Gavin Clark himself thought Felix Newman was crazy. It made no sense.

Andrew Foster asked seriously, “Mr. Gavin Clark, tell me, what should I choose? Should I pick you or Vernon to carry out the Gale City mission? Which order should I obey?”

Now things were interesting—there were actually two people from the Black Dragon Platform competing for the Moon in the Well?

Gavin Clark said, “So where is this pride of the Black Dragon Platform, Mr. Vernon?”

Andrew Foster said, “He’s already here. He arrived several hours before you.”

At that, Gavin Clark’s hair stood on end—not from nervousness, but from excitement, like a fighting cock about to enter the ring.

He was filled with excitement inside.

How thrilling! Time to show off again, time for another performance!

……

Chapter 12: Too Perverse!

In everyone’s eyes, Felix Newman was absolutely insane.

The Gale City mission not only concerned his own life and death, but also that of Old Foster. Yet now he was entrusting such an important mission to a petty swindler and womanizer.

Did he really know Gavin Clark?!

In fact, he understood Gavin Clark far better than anyone imagined, all because of that Mr. Thompson, the one who nearly lost everything to save Gavin Clark’s life.

But he had already lost once. If he lost again, it would be the end.

The Black Dragon Platform is utterly ruthless!

“Mr. Gavin Clark, do you know what might happen next?” Andrew Foster asked.

Gavin Clark said, “At any moment, a secret order could come from the capital, directly arresting Lord Felix Newman and hauling him back to the capital for imprisonment and family punishment.”

“Exactly!” Andrew Foster said. “So if I choose to obey Lord Felix Newman’s order and cooperate with you, this little hoodlum, on the Gale City mission, what will happen?”

Gavin Clark said, “You’ll be arrested and punished as well.”

Andrew Foster said, “Right. The key is, I’m not even under Lord Felix Newman’s command. My post is in the Wuzhu Division.”

Gavin Clark said, “So choosing Vernon, arresting me, and escorting me back to the Black Dragon Platform’s prison within the empire for lifelong imprisonment is the wisest choice.”

Andrew Foster said, “Exactly.”
