As that foreign official spoke, he shook his head, his face revealing an expression of disbelief.
Claude said helplessly, “Everything I’ve told you is the truth. If you don’t believe me, I can bring Mr. Chance here myself. However, only a special release order from General Jaime could make it happen. After all, he’s still locked up in the jail.”
His voice hinted at a touch of helplessness and resentment. He knew that without a special release order, there was no way he could get Jared out of prison.
“Claude, it seems to me that you’re hoping for General Jaime to grant you a special release order, isn’t it? All so you could save the person you wish to save, right?”
Once again, someone began to question Claude’s motives. The person’s gaze held a hint of suspicion as they stared directly at Claude as if trying to see through his thoughts.
“I’m not doing that. I’ll really bring Mr. Chance here for you all to see!” Claude shouted out loud, expressing his sincerity and the truth of his words.
His voice echoed through the hall, laced with a hint of resolution and determination.
It was just that what he had said was indeed too extraordinary. It was no wonder people found it hard to believe.
“All right. That’s enough.” Jaime frowned, his face drawn in a grim expression as he added, “You are all my foreign officials, so you should be united as one. There shouldn’t be an internal fight, right? Right now, the other two beast generals are secretly amassing power, aiming to push us out. If we don’t unite, we’ll end up being kicked out of Beast City, left to wander the wilderness!”
Jaime’s words hit like a sledgehammer, jolting everyone to awareness. Suddenly, everyone fell silent, their faces revealing a trace of worry.
They knew that their days would not be easy without Jaime’s protection in Beast City.
“Claude, here’s the special release order. Take it with you to bring that person out tomorrow. I’m curious to see just who this Draconian cultivator is. After all, a Ninth Level Tribulator cultivator was able to defeat you, an Ultimate Realm Level Four cultivator. I’ve never seen such a prodigy before.”
After Jaime finished speaking, he promptly released a beam of white light. Claude reached out to catch it, and a small token materialized in his palm.
The token radiated a gentle glow, adorned with some mysterious runes. That was a special release order, possessing the power to release prisoners from Beast City’s prison.
Upon receiving the special release order, Claude immediately assured, “I will definitely bring Mr. Chance here tomorrow…”
He held the special release order tightly as if clutching onto his own hope. Quietly, he made a vow in his heart that he would make everyone believe his words.
On the following day, just as dawn broke, Claude, holding the special release order, hurriedly arrived at Beast City’s prison.
His pace was brisk, a hint of urgency reflected in his gaze. His sole focus was to get Jared out of prison as quickly as possible.
As soon as he entered the prison, he was stopped by Ricky.
Ricky uttered with a stern look, “Claude, your only duty is to supervise the ancient tree with your men. You have no right to enter the cell!”
Ricky stood in front of Claude, his arms crossed over his chest, blocking his path. A hint of wariness shone in his eyes.
Claude hurriedly explained, “Captain Ricky, I have been ordered by General Jaime to release a prisoner.”
“Releasing a prisoner requires a special release order. Do you have one?” Ricky asked.
He didn’t immediately take the special release order. Instead, he scrutinized Claude as if trying to discern the truth from his words.
“Of course!” Claude said, promptly presenting the special release order. The special release order radiated a subtle glow in his hands, making it particularly noticeable.
Ricky caught sight of the special release order, and he slightly frowned in displeasure. Despite his reluctance, he stepped aside, clearing the path.
After all, the special release order was universally acknowledged throughout Beast City. The three beast generals held the power to issue it, and he couldn’t do anything to stop it.
That was also why Niel had previously dared to stir up trouble without fear of imprisonment. His father, being one of the beast generals, could easily secure his release from jail with a special release order, even if he were to be arrested.
