The waiting time wasn't too long.

About ten minutes or so.

Four police cars arrived at the entrance of The Prosperity Residence.

After all, it's a high-end restaurant.

The sudden arrival of so many police officers instantly attracted the attention of passersby.

A total of more than a dozen police officers and auxiliary police got out of the four police cars.

They quickly entered the lobby, heading straight towards the second floor.

The leading officer approached Brennan Ford, saluted, and said, "Reporting to the leader, the Brookfield Police Precinct of Ronan City Police Department is here to report to you."

Brennan Ford remained impassive.

He pointed towards the private room and said, "Chase Perry, the public security in your Brookfield District has really been deteriorating lately. You can't even have a meal in peace. Don't you think it's time for some rectification?"

This person, named Chase Perry.

Hearing this, his face suddenly tensed up.

He looked at the calm elderly and young man inside the room.

Waving his hand, he shouted, "Arrest them!"

Just as the police were about to take action, suddenly, a shout echoed down the hallway: "Let's see who dares to act!"

It was a woman's voice.

It immediately drew everyone's attention.

Looking over, they saw a woman in a military uniform with a lieutenant rank steadily walking over.

The woman was approximately 1.7 meters tall, with a poised stance and a sense of presence. Beneath her peaked cap, she likely had short hair, and her face was particularly spirited.

Seeing this, Brennan Ford frowned and asked, "Why is a soldier here?"

Chase Perry immediately reached out to stop the female officer and said, "Officer, we are from the Brookfield Police Precinct, and we are handling a case. Do not approach."

"Do not approach?"

The woman asked seriously.

Chase Perry repeated, "Yes, do not approach."

The female officer nodded and coldly asked, "Is it because you think you have more people?"

Callum Hamilton had already noticed that this female officer might be related to the people inside. He snorted and said, "Yes, and what if we are relying on our numbers?"

"More people? Let's see who has more then."

The female officer said.

She picked up the radio and said, "Come in."

As soon as she finished speaking.

The sound of engines roaring came from the entrance.

Everyone looked towards the entrance and was stunned.

Surrounding the police cars, unbeknownst to everyone, dozens of military vehicles lined up with great momentum.

After the female officer gave the order.

The doors of the vehicles opened, and fully armed soldiers swarmed into the hotel's lobby, scaring the diners. Some people couldn't even bother to finish their meal and hurriedly ran out.

The entire Prosperity Residence was in chaos.

"Where is the old leader? Where?"

A deep voice shouted from the entrance of the hallway.

Then.

A middle-aged man in civilian clothes appeared.

Brennan Ford, who was initially calm, was instantly startled when he saw this man. He stood up abruptly from his chair and stammered, "Commissar... Commissar Fisher, why... why are you here?"

The man before him.

Was none other than Brandt Fisher, a member of the Serenity State Committee, Standing Committee Member, and Political Commissar of the State Military District.

Hearing that voice.

Yale Quill patted Dirk Carter's hand and said, "Let's go, we can leave now."

The two stood up.

As Yale Quill appeared at the private room's entrance.

Brandt Fisher hesitated.

Then, with a snap, he assumed a standard at-ease position and said to Yale Quill, "Reporting to the old leader, Brandt Fisher reports to you!"

Old leader?

A political commissar of the State Military District, still a member of the State Committee, saluting Yale Quill?

Dirk Carter was dumbfounded.

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Especially Brennan Ford and Callum Hamilton, whose legs started to tremble with fear.

Yale Quill looked at the trembling Cian Donovan beside him and asked, "Are you the owner here?"

"Old... leader, I am... I am, my name is Cian Donovan."

"Mr. Donovan, I've been waiting a long time, haven't even had lunch yet, can we serve the food?"

Yale Quill asked.

Cian Donovan was stunned.

Seemingly unresponsive.

With a start, he called out, "Serve the dishes, quickly serve the dishes..."

The earlier lobby manager Kimberly Dunn, also frightened by the commotion, trembled and quickly said, "Serve the dishes, serve them now."

Yale Quill took Dirk Carter's hand and said, "Let's go, we're going to eat."

"Them..."

Dirk Carter pointed at the crowded hallway and asked.

Yale Quill smiled and said, "Luna, come in with us. As for the others, well, they're not hungry. Let them stand around a bit and work up an appetite."

After saying this.

The two entered the private room.

The young female officer from earlier also followed them inside.

Soon, within a few minutes, the previously ordered table of dishes was all served.

Once the waiters left, Yale Quill said to the female officer standing at the door, "Luna, close the door and join grandpa for a meal."

"Okay."

The female officer nodded.

With a snap, she closed the private room's door.

Regardless of whether they were State Committee members or city government secretaries, they all had to stand obediently outside now.

Seeing Dirk Carter still in a daze, Yale Quill said, "Eat, what are you standing around for?"

Only then did Dirk Carter pick up his chopsticks, but in such a situation, how could one have any appetite?

"Luna, let me introduce you, this is Dirk Carter, quite a good young man. If it weren't for him today, I really wouldn't know what to do along the way."

Yale Quill said to the female officer who had barely touched her chopsticks.

Hearing this.

The female officer stood up, saluted Dirk Carter, and said, "Thank you for helping my grandpa."

Dirk Carter was overwhelmed by the attention.

Yale Quill continued to Dirk Carter, "This is my granddaughter, Luna."

"Granddaughter? So her name is Luna Quill?"

Dirk Carter asked.

The female officer, expressionless and cold as ice, said, "My name is Luna, Qin Shi Ming Yue."

Qin Shi Ming Yue?

Is there really a name like that?

Quite peculiar indeed.

"Sir, may I ask a bold question, what is your identity exactly?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Luna was about to speak.

Yale Quill waved his hand and said, "Regardless of where I worked, I'm already retired, old and not as useful, now let's eat, let's eat..."

It seems the elder didn't wish to elaborate.

His reason for doing so was likely to avoid becoming too distant with Dirk Carter. Once people know his previous position, the sense of social hierarchy would arise.

During the meal.

Yale Quill kept serving Dirk Carter food.

And his own granddaughter, Luna, Qin Shi Ming Yue, barely touched her chopsticks, remaining cold throughout, showing none of a woman's gentle demeanor.

Yale Quill even joked with Dirk Carter that with his granddaughter's demeanor, probably no man would dare to want her.

Yet even such a joke received no response from Luna.

Truly a dull person.

Leisurely, they ate for an hour.

Those outside had also waited for an hour.

The private room door opened, and the previously lax people tensed up once again.

Seeing Yale Quill beckoning Brandt Fisher, Brandt Fisher obediently came over, indicating a respectful attitude towards Yale Quill.

"Old leader, any instructions?"

Brandt Fisher asked.

Yale Quill first pointed at Brennan Ford.

Brennan Ford was startled, immediately standing upright.

"Abusing public power, a jackal among foxes, such people still in the officialdom show your leadership's negligence. Let Leland Fuller know, and it's time to clean up the pests below."

"Yes! Old leader!"

Brandt Fisher replied.

Brennan Ford's body went limp instantly.

He initially wanted to argue a bit, but Brandt Fisher waved his hand and said to his men, "Take him away."

Two soldiers came up and swiftly took Brennan Ford away without delay.

Then.

Yale Quill's gaze fell on Callum Hamilton, and he asked, "You're the Minister of the United Front Department of Harmony County. What are you doing in Ronan City?"
