Chapter 1530 No Authority Over 001
Landon frowned as he pondered. "There was someone, | think... He was a low-level official in charge of Hawford's
economy at the time."
"Take a look. Is it him?" Wynter slid her phone forward to show Landon a picture.
Landon immediately nodded. "That's him. How did he end up looking younger with time? I'd never have
recognized him from how timid he used to be."
"Power can rejuvenate a person. It's understandable that you didn't recognize him, Mr. Landon." Wynter chuckled
and she tapped on the webpage. "Now, does this look more familiar to you?"
The man in the picture wore glasses and a suit, appearing scholarly and vaguely familiar. Landon froze. "He...
He's..."
"He's the third-in-command in the city, Fredric Monty." Wynter compared his current image with the old one. "It's
true, he looks quite different. He has a new nand a new identity.
"For someone who started as a low-level official to rise to this position, the people backing him must have put in
serious effort."
Landon had no idea about these complicated connections. He had never imagined that such a low-profile person
could climb so high.
Why had Tamia never mentioned this? Instead, she had helped conceal his identity!
His wide-eyed gaze snapped toward Tamia, whose face was pale. She knew Landon was a fool and could only
direct her bitterness toward Wynter.
Her voice dripped with malice. "Why did you even bother asking us when you already knew?

misconduct after pulling these kinds of stunts?"
"Misconduct?" Wynter repeated the word thoughtfully, her gaze flickering to the surveillance camera. "Have |
violated any rules?"
No one watching the footage dared to speak. After all, given their level, they had no authority over Special Unit's
001.
Everyone knew that Wynter wasn't just investigating these aristocratic families and their crimes. She was also
targeting the one lurking behind them and the foreign influences entangled in these matters.
The person behind the scenes often followed ssemblance of the rules, and foreign infiltrations were much
harder to uproot. Hence, in order to fish them out, ordinary methods wouldn't suffice.
The Special Unit had long operated on the frontline. Their authority to investigate superseded all other agencies.
Wynter was unfazed by the fact that she was recorded. She tilted her head slightly, and her gaze landed on
Tamia once more.
Tamia was starting to realize just what she was up against. Never in all her years had she encountered such a
way of handling an investigation. The audacity of Wynter's brashness meant only one thing-she wasn't from an
ordinary department.
If someone like her was here in Hawford, did the old man know?
"The investigation is mostly done. I'd like to have a more personal chat with Mrs. Montclair Senior." Wynter stood
up, bracing herself against the table with one hand.

Wynter had never seen it as a mistake. But now, she was determined to make these people feel the same
helplessness her mother had faced all those years.
