Seeing General Howard arrive, Jeremy, Ritchie, and the stranger all breathed a sigh of relief. General Howard swiftly pushed open the door and stepped into the room, casting a glance at the three men inside. He then spoke in a slightly deep tone, "This man is indeed a special envoy from military headquarters, and the orders he brought are genuine. So, Jeremy, there's no need for you to hold onto him any longer."
Upon hearing Howard's words, Jeremy immediately released the envoy. The special envoy's face was somewhat pale, but after taking a few deep breaths, he finally managed to regain his composure.
"General Howard, it's good to see you. I had intended to visit you first, but as you probably know, the generals at military headquarters are quite displeased with your recent actions. So, to avoid further aggravating them, I chose not to seek you out. I hope you can understand my decision," the envoy explained, trying to justify himself.
