Capítulo 452: Chapter 448: Throne room

Ray was visibly confused. Why was this case being handed over to him? He was under observation by the previous director. They should be suspicious, not reward him.

They could only trust him? Why? He couldn't help but wonder. 

Drake didn't let Ray delve into his confusion for longer and explained further instead, "The Director of FBI was killed in this place. It must mean that our agents are compromised by a foreign enemy. You are the only one we can trust at the moment since you weren't close to either the previous Director or his killer, according to our reports and witnesses."
