On this morning, the sky was not yet fully lit.
Rivella was sleeping soundly in his dream, when suddenly there was a hurried knocking at the door downstairs.
The servants in the mansion complained as they put on their nightclothes and went to answer the door. Soon after, accompanied by a commotion and hurried footsteps, the bedroom door of Rivella and his wife on the second floor was suddenly opened by an unwelcome guest.
"Mr. Rivella, we suspect you of disregarding national interests and using your authority to illegally buy and sell weapons and arms. The investigation also shows that you are involved in several recent cases of serious murder. This is an arrest warrant issued by the Rio de Janeiro State Prosecutor's Office. Please prepare to come with us immediately..."
The noise woke Rivella up, and he was about to get angry, but the drowsiness in his eyes disappeared completely when he saw who had broken into his home.
It was Carlton Lamont, the head of the Rio de Janeiro State Prosecutor's Office Special Investigation Department.
The judicial system had great power within the Brazilian government, and the Supreme Prosecutor's Office even had the power to investigate the Speaker of the House and the President. The high status of the judiciary in Brazil was evident.
Although the State Prosecutor's Office was only a department of the Brazilian judiciary system, it was still qualified to investigate a state-owned enterprise executive like Rivella.
In the instant that Rivella saw Carlton Lamont standing at the bedroom door, his consciousness was completely awakened. He couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He knew he had done something wrong.
If the prosecutor from the Anti-Corruption System or the Duty Crime Supervision System had come to arrest him today, Rivella might still have a chance to turn the situation around.
Because everyone knew that since Brazil began holding elections in the late 1980s, the label of "corruption rampant" had never been removed from Brazil. Although the judicial system, especially the various levels of the prosecutor's office, frequently launched attacks and dealt with various corruption and crime cases, in Brazil, where the atmosphere of covering up crimes was prevalent, in most cases, the final punishment could only be described as "insignificant". Even over the past few decades, the Brazilian judicial system had only been able to recover less than one-tenth of the embezzled funds, and many officials who had been reported still managed to return to politics and run for office again.
But the Special Investigation Department was an exception!
The cold gaze of Carlton Lamont made Rivella's hands and feet tremble. He knew what the Special Investigation Department meant.
From the President, the Speakers of the House and Senate, to local officials, military and police commanders, this new department established by the former president in 2007 had the power to investigate them all. It could be said that it was a special department within the judiciary system specifically designed to deal with criminals who had a significant impact or special status.
"What do you want... get out... get out, my husband..."
Rivella's wife also woke up when the bedroom door was forcibly pushed open. Rubbing her sleepy eyes, she sat up in bed, and when she saw the group of people standing outside the bedroom door, she quickly realized what was happening and shouted in panic.
But upon closer listening, there was trembling and panic in her voice.
"Anna...Anna, calm down..."
After nearly a month of anxiety and fear, the arrest warrant from the State Prosecutor's Office finally arrived.
Although Rivella was really panicked when he saw Carlton and his team at first, he soon realized that he wasn't as scared as he had anticipated. He even had a faint feeling of relief.
Because he knew his identity now and who was behind him.
Rivella was very sure that he knew too many secrets of those people, and he was still useful to them. Once he was in trouble, they would definitely come to his rescue.
However, everything he had worked hard for over the past few decades was now going to be lost!
In the future, he might even be branded as a traitor and a criminal.
Various emotions flooded his heart, but Rivella quickly calmed down completely. He knew he had no way out.
"With me here, everything will be fine!"
He first comforted his frightened wife in a gentle tone.
Immediately, Carlton, who had heard Rivella's words, looked over with a sneer on his face. Speaking calmly, he said, "I understand. Give me a moment to change my clothes. And by the way, could you all step outside temporarily? There is a lady here after all."
Carlton Lamont lowered his head to look at his watch and said coldly, "Don't try any tricks. Also, you only have three minutes to get ready."
As soon as he clapped his hands, his subordinates outside the bedroom stepped back, and four young female police officers in formal attire quickly entered the room.
"Keep a close eye on them. If you notice any suspicious behavior, I allow you to take more aggressive measures!"
"Yes, sir!"
The four young female police officers immediately surrounded the bed where Rivella and his wife were lying. Carlton then stepped back and closed the bedroom door. In that moment, Rivella clearly heard an order being given, "Ori, take a team to conduct a thorough search here. Remember not to miss any corners."
Rivella couldn't help but twitch his face. He knew this was Carlton's warning to him.
He looked up and glanced at the four young female police officers who were still in the room. Immediately, the female police officer who had been staring at him warned him without hesitation, "Get dressed quickly. Don't try any tricks, and don't touch any communication devices!"
"Honey..."
His wife trembled with fear as she looked at Rivella.
Rivella shook his head at her and said, "It will be okay. Don't worry. Let's change our clothes first!"
After comforting his wife for a few moments, Rivella got out of bed in his pajamas. As he approached the closet, a female police officer stepped forward to stop him and said, "Wait, let me help you get dressed!"
Rivella frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything. In fact, he had already expected this treatment when he found out that the Special Investigation Department had come to their door.
"Just give me any suit and coat, and please bring me the watch on the bedside table too!"
Although his commanding manner made the female police officers who were guarding them change their expressions, they eventually fulfilled Rivella's request, perhaps because they saw that he didn't try any tricks.
One of the female police officers walked up to the bedside table and picked up the watch he had mentioned. After checking it carefully and finding that it seemed to be just an ordinary mechanical watch, she handed it to him. Unnoticed by anyone, Rivella's face showed a faint smile when he took the watch. As he put it on, he subtly turned a knob on it and then pressed it back.
In that instant, an extremely elusive hidden electromagnetic wave was emitted from his watch.
