Chapter 488 Wait

"Immediately gather the men and head to the port. Stop Vadesia's ship and rescue all the abducted

people," Joey ordered.

The entire Inspector General's office sprang into action. All elite forces immediately assembled, armed

to the teeth.

Joey, as the inspector general, personally led the team toward the port.

However, upon arriving at the port, Joey and her team discovered that the ship had left more than half

an hour ago.

"Inspector General, the ship has left. What should we do next?" asked the leader of the inspectors.

"Chase them! We must save the people. Prepare the speedboats!" Joey ordered without hesitation.

"Roger that!"

Ten speed boats were ready. Joey boarded one with her team and set off in pursuit of Vadesia's cruise

ship.

According to the information provided by the burly man earlier, these trafficking groups were armed.

After all, foreign countries had no restrictions on firearms. Hence, Joey was cautious to avoid

unnecessary casualties.

The speedboats sped forward.

But after almost an hour of chasing, there was still no sign of the cruise ship.

"Inspector General, if we continue, we'll leave Diatoran's waters and enter international waters," the

leader expressed his concern.

"So what? Continue the pursuit!" Joey sternly commanded.

It wasn't easy for them to obtain this lead. They couldn't afford to give up midway.

"But today, Astronia and Vadesia are conducting military exercises nearby. We might be in danger," the

leader warned.

"I'm aware of the situation. Besides, our country is also conducting military exercises. Don't worry.

Other countries won't dare to harm us. With Diatoran backing us up, what's there to fear?" Joey

asserted confidently.

However, the leader was still somewhat uneasy and added, "Inspector General, our relations with the This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

other two countries are delicate right now. A major war could break out at anytime. It's better to stay

away from international waters for now."

"If you don't want to go, you can jump down from this ship," Joey impatiently retorted.

Hearing this, the leader dared not say more.

After another ten minutes, a cruise ship appeared on the distant sea!

Joey used a pair of binoculars to observe and saw Vadesia's flag on the ship. "Full speed ahead! That's

the ship!"

Over a dozen speedboats sped up and headed toward the ship.

…

Outside Diatoran waters, in international waters, Diatoran, Astronia, and Vadesia were in a tense

standoff as none of them was willing to make the first move.

The atmosphere was extremely tense.

No one wanted to give the other an excuse to start a war.

The military exercises between the three countries became a confrontation with one another.

At this moment, a cruise ship of Vadesia appeared and was closely followed by over a dozen

speedboats.

"General! A Vadesia cruise ship has entered our designated area, and there are over a dozen

speedboats in pursuit. It seems they're from Diatoran!" the deputy officer urgently reported.

"What? Is that true?" John was momentarily stunned.

The atmosphere was already tense, and he didn't want accidents to happen.

Without hesitation, John quickly checked the situation on the sea.

Through binoculars, he saw a familiar figure. It was Joey, the inspector general of Southlake City.

"Something's wrong! Joey is here with her team, which means they're arresting criminals. Something

might be wrong with that cruise ship. Contact Joey and ask for details," John instructed.

He didn't rush into action as every move he took had to be cautious.

…

At this time, the cruise ship of Vadesia was about to leave Diatoran waters.

As the speedboats closed in, a dozen people emerged on the cruise ship, all armed with guns. They

began firing at Joey's team.

Bullets rained down like rain, and a few inspectors were hit.

"Return fire!" Joey gave the order without hesitation.

Both sides engaged in fierce combat.

Due to the intense battle, Joey didn't notice her phone was ringing.

John was monitoring the situation at sea, and upon seeing the Inspector General's office clash with

Vadesia, he asked, "Can you contact Joey?"

"No one is answering the phone," replied the deputy.

"The situation is tricky. They've already left Diatoran's waters, and we can't provide assistance without

risking war. I must consult with the commander-in-chief," John said.

"Yes, sir!"

In the command room in South Aridlands, Caspian noticed the incident, and his brows couldn't help but

furrow.

Coincidentally, John's encrypted call came in.

"Commander-in-chief, there's a conflict between Southlake City's Inspector General's office and

Vadesia. Do we need to provide support?" John urgently asked.

"Have you clarified the situation?" Caspian inquired.

"Not yet. I can't reach Joey," John reported.

"Wait for now. Let's understand the situation before taking action. At this critical moment, we absolutely

can't act recklessly."

Caspian had his own concerns. If Diatoran were to assist now, Vadesia wouldn't just stand idly by.

"Understood!" John could only obey.

"Immediately inquire with the Inspector General's office about what happened."

"Yes, sir!"

The intelligence department promptly made a call to the Inspector General's office and got the

information.

"Commander, there are Diatorians being trafficked on the cruise ship of Vadesia, and Joey initiated a

rescue operation."

Hearing this news, Caspian was shocked.

He didn't think such incidents would happen.

Caspian immediately issued an order to John, "John, there are Diatorans on that cruise ship. Make

sure not to harm our own people."

"Yes! Should we act now?" John asked.

"Stay and wait for my command," said Caspian.

"Why not act now?" John asked with confusion.

"Their cruise ship and the speedboats aren't in Diatoran waters. If we take action first, it would give the

other party a reason to start a war. Therefore, we absolutely can't initiate firing," Caspian instructed.

"But we can't just sit and watch, right?" John asked urgently.

"Unless absolutely necessary, we mustn't take action. I believe Joey can handle this matter. Let's

assess the situation first. We can't act recklessly. Once a war breaks out, the entire Diatoran will be

involved, and it'll cause too much loss." Caspian commanded.

As the Diatoran God of War, he had to consider the overall situation and not act recklessly like before.

In the past, he might've ordered an attack immediately.

But now, he couldn't let his emotions cloud his judgment. Starting a war would lead to many people

becoming displaced, and that was a scene Caspian didn't want to witness.
