Be that as it may, the investigation and intelligence gathering had to continue. What if the Corrupters' next target was a first-tier city?
So, the question was...
Who was the Special Agent closest to Red River City, powerful enough for the job, and able to flee at a moment's notice if things went south?
The answer was Brady, an elite Special Agent from the Counter-Terrorism Department.
—It was the classic "our own investigating our own" scenario all over again.
Zhou Chen contacted Brady in secret, telling him to improvise and pin all the blame on the Sea Monster.
Brady held a high rank in the Counter-Terrorism Department and was a veteran Special Agent. Once he submitted his report, the matter would be essentially closed. Even if others came to investigate later, they would only do a perfunctory check.
And just like that, the Sea Monster took the fall.
