Chapter 455 Internal Struggle

Andrei was so frightened that his heart almost stopped.

How could Count Chavez reveal his identity in one breath?

There was no problem working for the Eighth Investigation Department, but if those nobles knew that he was fishing for the Eighth Investigation Department, he would be stabbed to death.

He pretended to be calm and smiled reluctantly: "What is the Eighth Investigation Department? I have never heard of it. What are you talking about, Count?"

Count Chavez saw that even if he was not from the Eighth Investigation Department, he was not from a good background.

He was too lazy to deal with such a kid, and immediately ordered the guards: "Tie him up and throw him to your Majesty's internal guards for processing."

No matter what your identity is, if you fish on your head, you will cut off your claws.

Do you really think the Count is not a high-ranking official in the empire?

There are all kinds of birds in a big cage.

Under the glory of the empire, internal fighting never stops.

This is not something Derek can stop if he wants to.

The king can manipulate everyone like a puppet with a thought, without corruption, internal fighting, or forming cliques, that is called a novel myth.

Andrei didn't even have a chance to resist, he was tied up by the Count's guards and thrown at the gate of the palace.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, it was impossible to hide it.

Those nobles who supported Andrei gnashed their teeth and cursed Count Chavez as a good dog.

Then they tried to rescue people and distance themselves from the relationship. In short, they showed their magical powers.

As for the local Eighth Investigation Department, their teeth were almost broken.

Andrei is an important chess piece and plays a very important role.

Originally, I wanted to catch a big fish by the way to see if Count Chavez would take the bait.

After all, catching a hundred small shrimps is not as great as catching a big fish.

As for whether it is inappropriate to do so, they don't bother to care.

The Eighth Investigation Department obeys the orders of the emperor and acts according to their own convenience. There is nothing they can't do.

It's just that the matter has been exposed to His Majesty, so there is something to say.

After all, Count Chavez is also an important official of the empire, and doing so will definitely cause backlash.

"Damn good-for-nothing, why didn't you commit suicide?"

The director of the Investigation Department was so angry that he dropped the cup. He had a premonition that he was going to be in trouble.

"We were ordered to monitor the world, just to test whether Count Chavez had any second thoughts. That's right, don't be afraid."

He tried his best to comfort himself, but in fact he knew that he couldn't escape from the trouble.

At the same time, Derek already knew the ins and outs of the matter.

The empire is too arrogant, even the emperor can't be omniscient.

The internal struggle has never stopped.

As long as it is within a certain framework, Derek will not intervene even if he knows.

Unless it comes to the front, or someone crosses the line.

At this time, decisive action is necessary.

It is obvious that the Eighth Investigation Department has crossed the line this time, and someone has caught the handle.

Chavez may not have the intention to investigate further, but Derek wants to take advantage of the opportunity.

"The Eighth Investigation Department has been too active recently."

Perhaps the Eighth Investigation Department itself has no feeling, but as a superior, it actually sees more clearly.

Absolute power often breeds arrogance.

The Eighth Investigation Department has too much power, so this incident happened today.

The director of a local investigation department dared to fish for law enforcement on a count.

No matter how many reasons there are, his boldness cannot be explained.

The rules of the empire exist for a reason.

Challenging the rules may not cause less damage than the rebels.

"Transfer Peter from the Ninth Investigation Department."

Derek made a decision.

Peter did a very good job in the Griffin Kingdom in the past few years.

Although he is also a descendant of the Griffin Kingdom's nobility, he has stepped hard on the Griffin Kingdom's grave.

Moreover, the Ninth Investigation Department is mainly external and is strictly separated from the Eighth Investigation Department, so there is no need to worry about other problems.

If you want to change, of course you have to change the person in charge at the top.

Check the style problems from top to bottom to avoid complete depravity.

As for the fuse that triggered the incident, Andre was finally released after a lot of twists and turns.

As an ant, it is possible to be crushed to death, but it is also easy to be ignored.

Every big shot in the empire was interested in him.

As for the people below, they were all busy with their own affairs, so how could they care about a small shot like him?

So Andre was released inexplicably.

The nobles thought it was their credit for the communication, and they welcomed Andre for a few days.

This incident seemed like an episode, and did not cause any movement on the surface.

The songs were sung and the dances were performed.

But Peter had quietly arrived in the south.

The Eighth Investigation Department sounded majestic, and it was no problem to kill first and report later.

Ordinary officials were even more afraid of it, fearing that they would be targeted.

But for the big shots in the empire, it was an obedient vicious dog.

The rope was always in the hands of the owner, and he could tighten it or loosen it as he wanted.

What everyone feared was the person holding the rope, not the vicious dog itself.

If you get your position wrong, it will be miserable.

Fortunately, the owner noticed it in advance, so he didn't end up being killed and eaten.

But some punishment is inevitable.

Derek didn't care at all, and changed the person in charge with a transfer order.

The power comes from the top, so it's natural.

I believe that this change will make the Eighth Investigation Department see their own weight clearly, so that they won't be confused.

Peter wore a hat, lowered the brim, and entered the palace very low-key.

He took the position alone, without any subordinates.

Serving in such a secret agency, he knew what to avoid.

In fact, if he did what he should do, the head of the Eighth Investigation Department was not low in status, and who in the empire would not give him some face?

Even if he was the head of a department, he might ignore the Eighth Investigation Department, but he also had relatives and friends, so how could he not give him some face?

So after learning the whole story on the way, Peter could only thank the Eighth Investigation Department for its inflated mentality, otherwise it would not be his turn to take advantage.

When he entered the palace under the guidance of the inner guards, he put his weapons on the plate, and thought about putting down his hat.

Then he walked slowly forward and saw His Majesty the Emperor.

It was pitiful to say that it was his first time to get close to the emperor.

He had seen him several times from a distance with the crowd before, and he couldn't even hear his voice clearly.

There were tens of millions of people in the empire, and few could stand here.

Peter bent humbly, waiting for the order of His Majesty the Emperor.

"The Eighth Investigation Department has gone too far. I asked them to calm down. You have done a good job in the Griffin Kingdom. Simon has also recommended you to me. Do you know what you will do after taking office?"

"Surveillance, for His Majesty's eyes and ears." Peter replied.

Others, no need to say.

"Okay, I hope you remember what I said today, don't cross the line, remember... just eyes and ears."

Derrick admired the secret service officer in front of him. Being able to clearly recognize oneself is already a rare quality.

The Eighth Investigation Department, the mission is actually very simple, why is it so difficult to do your job well?
