Seeing Pierce Griffin about to leave.
Herman Bates leisurely called out, "Stop right there!"
Pierce Griffin halted his steps.
Herman Bates sneered, "Director Griffin, let me remind you, I am the top official in Rexton City, and Dirk Carter is merely a City Government Secretary. Does he have the authority to give you orders?"
With these words said.
The room fell silent.
At this moment.
Fabian Vincent said, "The police department is under the Municipal Government. Comrade Dirk is my chief secretary, and his orders are my orders. Director Griffin, just go ahead and execute them. Whatever issue arises, I'll handle it."
"Understood, Mayor Vincent."
Pierce Griffin finished speaking and left directly.
Herman Bates was so enraged, his beard bristled, and his eyes glared.
He glanced at Lloyd Hale.
Lloyd Hale also stood up and walked out.
It seemed like he was going to disrupt Pierce Griffin's efforts.
This detail, of course, didn't escape Dirk Carter's attention.
