The Legendary Man
The Legendary Man Chapter 231 Attacking The Police âJonâ¦â Alice tugged at the edge of Jonathanâs shirt once more. She felt as though she had gone back a decade in time.
Back then, a group of boys was bullying her, and Jonathan stood up to protect her. He was thin and weak at the time, but he still shielded her and prevented anyone from hurting her.
About ten minutes later, a group of police officers rushed into the hospital room.
They had the entire place surrounded, and a middle-aged police officer rushed to the hospitalâs director. The police asked, âWhatâs wrong, Mr. Dunphy? Are there troublemakers?â
âYes, and heâs right there,â replied Jared. He scoffed and pointed at Jonathan. âThat man refused to pay his outstanding medical fees and has assaulted our employees. Just look around. Youâll see the damage he has done to the doctors of this hospital.â
Jared deliberately shot a look at the middle-aged doctor, who was still moaning in pain on the floor.
Hearing that got the leader of the police officers to bow down right away and apologized, âIâm so sorry, Mr. Dunphy. This is our fault for not doing a better job.â
âYouâre right about that. This is your fault!â complained Jared after hearing what the leader said. The former harrumphed. âThis is one of the best hospitals around. Yet, a random guy just walked in here to pick a fight! How are we supposed to operate under these circumstances?
âOn top of that, he threatened me. He claimed that he would destroy the hospital if the patients in the room get in trouble.
âSeriously, does that sound like what a civilized man will say?â
âYou are absolutely right. We are at fault for not doing a better job of keeping criminals away. On behalf of the police station, Iâd like to extend my sincerest apologies to you and promise that nothing of the sort will happen again,â replied the leader. It seemed as though the police were so scared of the hospitalâs director that their leader wouldnât talk back to the director, even after being dissed.
Thereâs no way Iâll risk pissing the guy off. This doctor is the top medical expert in the region, and heâs the professor teaching all other doctors. Rumor has it that he was the one who treats the mayor whenever the latter is sick. I am just a puny police officer, so I canât afford to stub on anybodyâs toe.
âHmph!â
Jared sneered when he saw how the leader was bowing down and being humble. The former pointed at the latterâs nose and reprimanded, âWhy are you still standing around? Go arrest the guy already.
Geez, how did someone like you become a police officer in the first place? You canât even do the simplest job right.â
âTake this punk away!â growled the police. It wouldnât matter how nice the police officer was. No one would stand being repeatedly insulted like that.
Hence, the police officer vented all of his anger on Jonathan. The former roared, âAnd take the woman standing behind him away as well. Throw them all in jail!â
âUnderstood.â
One order was all it took to get all the other police officers to attack.
Alice was instantly scared mindless when she saw how aggressive the police officers were being. She quickly held onto Jonathanâs arm and asked, âJon, w-what do we do?â
âItâs fine. They wonât dare to do anything to me,â promised Jonathan as he gently tapped on Aliceâs hand. After that, he turned to the leader of the police and demanded, âOy, you havenât investigated the matter or interrogated anyone. Are you really going to take me away based on one personâs one-sided statement? Seriously, is that how the cops here work?â
âWhat is there to investigate?â challenged the police. He scoffed and pointed out, âWe have all the evidence and witness we need, so you canât deny your crimes.â
âArenât you going to ask me why I did all that?â asked Jonathan.
âStop wasting my time. Iâll ask the questions after I get everyone to the police station,â replied the police officer, who waved his hands and turned to his subordinates to scold, âWhat are you waiting for? Get them already!â
âUnderstood.â
The other police officers didnât dilly dally anymore. They were quick to charge in on Jonathan.
âI guess that means you lot donât plan on being reasonable,â said Jonathan since it was obvious that the leader was just a bully. An evil glow flashed past Jonathanâs eyes as he added, âGood. I donât want to waste my breath on scums, either.â
As soon as he finished speaking, he threw his leg up and kicked the gut of the police right in front of him.
A single kick sent the police officer flying over ten meters away.
âYou stupid punk! How dare you assault the police?â growled the leader when he saw what Jonathan had done.
âThe police? You and your team members are not worthy of that position or title,â said Jonathan. He sneered at the leader of the cops after that.
âIf every police officer around here is like you, then I think your mayor has done a terrible job. Get him to come to me right now.â
âDo you know the mayor?â asked the leader of the police when he heard Jonathanâs request.
I canât believe this punk actually knows the mayor, Robert Lautner!
âOh, thatâs not possible,â interrupted Jared. He couldnât help sneering before he pointed out, âThe guy canât even afford to pay his medical bills, so thereâs no way heâd know the mayor.â
Unable to pay his bills?
Hearing those words prompted the leader of the police to frown immediately. He glared at Jonathan and roared, âHow dare you lie to me, you punk?â
âOh, puh-lease. Why would I bother saying a lie like that?â said Jonathan. He couldnât help laughing aloud. âWhat? Do you think that it is an honor to know your mayor? That is nothing to be proud of, and I donât need to build a rapport with him just to con you. In fact, as far as I am concerned, he is not worthy of my friendship at all.â
He is nothing but a puny mayor, and if Alice and her family arenât living here, that mayor wouldnât even have the privilege of taking a glimpse of me.
âYou idiot!â
Jared couldnât help dissing Jonathan at that moment. The former grinned evilly.
Oh, my boy. Who the hell do you think you are? How can a powerful political figure like the mayor not be worthy of your friendship?
Jared wasnât the only one who saw things that way. Everyone grinned evilly when they heard what Jonathan said.
At first, they assumed that Jonathan was some sort of VIP, but turned out, he was just a guy who spent too much time watching tv.
The mayor isnât worthy of being your friend? Seriously, who do you think you are?
Kingstone Warhol, the governor of Jazona?
Or Randall Swindell of Jadeborough?
âYoung men like you truly know nothing,â commented Jared. He couldnât help shaking his head and turning his attention to the police. âSo? What are you waiting around for? Arrest the guy already. Or do you want him to keep tricking you?â
âTake him away now!â roared the leader. He had truly lost his temper by then.
First, he was insulted by Jared, and that was followed by Jonathanâs supposed trick. The leader would not be human if he could still remain calm.
âUnderstood!â
One order was all it took.
Dozens of police officers came after them.
Their stance frightened Alice, and her hands began trembling. âJ-Jon, Iâm scaredâ¦â
âDonât worry, I will have the police chief come to apologize to you in person,â replied Jonathan. He turned around to smile at Alice before he got his phone to dial a number.
