There were still many members of the CD organization cleaning up the remnants of the battle in the town.
Chief Flory was in a terrible mood.
He squatted on an empty lot, staring blankly at the logistics staff of the CD organization as they cleaned the battlefield, lost in his thoughts.
It wasn't until he saw Brian return that a flicker of life returned to Chief Flory's dull eyes.
He rushed over angrily and confronted Brian, "Why did you secretly arrange a fishing plan, you killed..."
A large hand clamped down, cutting off the rest of Chief Flory's words.
Tagg held Chief Flory's neck with one hand, as if pinching the neck of a small chicken, and calmly said to Brian, "Ellie agreed to give you the compensation in the hands of the field staff, go get it. I'll handle this man for you."
In his words and expression, Chief Flory, an old sheriff who had served the town for decades, appeared as insignificant as an ant, easily squashed.
Brian was taken aback and shook his head.
