Looking at the sergeant's reaction, both Melvin and the officer were left puzzled. The officer, who was closer, could not help but look at the terminal, to see what was going on.

And the moment that he looked at the screen, he was left totally dumbfounded. At the same time, he cursed his luck, and thought, when he went back, he would have to divorce his wife.

Not only did she cheat on him with a youngster, but she had also brought him this terrible luck. How good he end up offending such a person, if not because she had angered him like this?

Melvin also looked over curiously, not understanding why the two had reacted like this.

The handheld terminal device was about the size of a thick paperback, its casing matte black and reinforced at the edges with rubber bumpers.

A small touchscreen dominated the front, flanked by a row of physical buttons for quick access to menus. A built-in scanner protruded slightly at the top, its lens recessed to avoid scratches.

A sturdy strap looped around the sergeant's wrist, keeping the terminal secure as he moved, and a faint hum of connection lights flickered along the side when it previously linked to the database.

At this moment, on the screen of the terminal, the information that was displayed was not that detailed. It was quite simple.

<Name: Michael Santos.

Background: Confidential

Privileges: Permission to drive all ground vehicles, permission to take over control of any ground vehicle in case of an emergency.>

Looking at this information, even Melvin was left shocked. She had never seen something like this before in her life.

The sergeant could not help but glance at the young man who was still sitting in the car. At this moment, he suddenly realized, the background of this young man was not simple.

Even the fact that he was the owner of Sky Technologies was nothing at all compared to this kind of information.

He did not believe that this information was forged. After all, this was the information that had been obtained after scanning the QR code behind the card.

The information had been obtained directly from the FDTA (Federal Department of Transportation Authority) database, which was impossible for anyone to forge their information into. After all, it was controlled by experts, and was linked to the central database of the government.

Despite both of them not understanding what kind of driver's license was this, but the privileges were clear.

But there was one thing that left all of them puzzled. If Michael was given the privileges that allowed him to drive all ground vehicles, did that not indicate that he was capable of driving all ground vehicles?

If that was not the case, then why would he be allowed to drive them, if he did not have the capability?

Melvin, who understood Michael much more than the two officers, was left much more shocked. After all, she knew that Michael was only 18 years old.

And apart from that, she also obtained much information about Michael from Alex, understanding that he was a good fighter, and was skilled at handling guns as well.

Even for some games such as golf, he was also at the level of a professional, though not one of the top experts.

Then, there was this information regarding him being at the level of a professional racing driver. Back then, when Alex informed her about Michael's capabilities, she had thought that he was exaggerating things.

But all the skills that had been mentioned by Alex, none of them were is it to learn, to the extent that Michael had reached. They needed dedication and time, something that could not be accomplished easily by someone who was only 18 years old.

And now, it turned out that his driving skills were not just limited to driving sports cars. Instead, he was able to control all the ground vehicles?

Just what kind of monster was he? To be able to master all those skills, it was just unbelievable.

Despite how surprising and unrealistic this seemed, Melvin did not think for a moment that it was a lie. After all, so far, everything that Michael had demonstrated had evidence of the skill that he possessed.

Despite not having been there during the fight, or during the time at the shooting range, or even during the race, there were witnesses.

For the driving skills, that was something that she could see, as quite a number of people had recorded videos of that race that Michael had participated in.

As for the fight, not long after the conflict between Michael and Kevin, she came to know that the Green family had ended up being destroyed.

At this moment, she thought, if not for the limitation of the age difference between them, she would not have minded pursuing him.

As for the previous consideration that he might have gotten engaged to someone else already by his family, did that even matter? As long as Michael was determined to get together with her, there might be a chance, right?

Of course, that was only an if, something that could not possibly happen, considering the current circumstances.

At this moment, the sergeant's phone suddenly began ringing. He quickly took it out, only to realize that it was his direct superior that was calling him.

He thought that maybe this was because of the issue regarding Melvin's kidnapping. So, he felt relieved, considering that Melvin was right next to him. At least, he would not face much of a problem, and might even be praised, despite not being the one who had rescued her.

Thinking about Melvin, he suddenly remembered that she was here, despite having claimed to have been kidnapped. Looking at her appearance, it seemed that that really was the case.

Still, she would need to confirm the details of how she had been able to escape from her kidnappers. But that was only after the call.

"Is the person that you have just verified their information on the FDTA database still there?" A feminine voice came through the phone's earpiece.

"Yes, madam?" The sergeant responded, slightly confused, as he had not expected that his superior had called him because of this.

At this moment, he could not help but think, was there a possibility that the information that had appeared on the terminal was false? Could it be that someone had tempered with the information database of FDTA?

But as he was still thinking about this, the lady on the other end of the call said, "Make sure to treat him respectfully. If he has any demands, make sure to fulfill them. And, don't try to provoke him at any costs, or the consequences will be something that you will not be able to handle."

"Yes, yes, yes, madam. I will keep that in mind." The sergeant was shaken by his superior's words. At the same time, he could not help but be curious about what kind of background Michael had.

"If I may ask, what kind of driver's license is this?" The sergeant tried his luck.

He understood, there was a possibility that this was the confidential piece of information, and the chances of it being revealed were quite low. And as expected, his superior's response proved that.

"Even I myself don't know much about it. I have just received a call from above, informing me of what I have told you.

But, I was told that this is something called a 'master-class driving license'. This is a special type of driving license granted by the Federal Department of Transportation Authority, granting the receiver the authority to operate all ground vehicles, including personal, commercial transport, emergency vehicles and heavy industrial machinery.

I didn't even know that something like this existed before today. But nevertheless, you should not provoke this person. From the attitude of those above, it is clear that this person is of great importance.

So, no matter what, no matter the kind of request, you have to fulfill them according to his wishes. If you dare to mess up, not just you, even I will end up losing my job, or even worse." The lady responded, before she abruptly ended the call.

The sergeant took a deep breath, before he gazed at Michael, who was still sitting inside the car. He wanted to rush over and apologize for what had happened.

But before that, he turned and looked at the officer, who was slightly trembling beside him. Most probably, he had heard pieces of what his superior had told him.

Pah!

The sound of a slap resounded in the air, shocking not only Melvin, but even the officer who had been slapped. He looked at the sergeant, feeling quite dizzy from the slab. His eyes were filled with questions, not understanding why he had been slapped.

Normally, no matter what kind of mistake they did, apart from reprimand, and facing the consequences according to the rules, the higher-ups never ended up beating any of their subordinates.

So, why was it that he was being beaten today? But then again, he thought about what he had heard during the call between the sergeant and the superior above him.

At that moment, he felt the chill running down his spine, as he collapsed on the ground, thinking that it was all over.

The sergeant completely ignored him, as he rushed towards the car, startling Melvin. She did not understand what he had been told on the phone, but still, she also followed behind, to understand what was going on.

While handing the card to Michael with both hands, the sergeant said in a humble tone, "Sir, it was our fault for delaying your business, and the rough handling from my subordinate. I hope that you forgive us for this mistake, please."
