Chapter 241
The Legendary Man
The Legendary Man Chapter 241 Arrest All Of Them âI donât have the slightest interest in you or your business. I just want to know if youâre the one responsible for the fire,â responded Jonathan impatiently.
Derrick then gave the man an arrogant smirk. âSo what if I am?â
âThen youâre coming with us.â With that, Jonathan gestured for the officers to arrest Derrick.
âOn it!â
Derrickâs face immediately turned as pale as a ghost when the Police Tactical Unit rushed toward him.
âWhat are you standing there for? Canât you see that these men are trying to arrest me? Do something about it!â
As though they had gotten a wake-up call, the brutes hurriedly picked up the weapons they dropped a moment ago and lined up in front of Derrick.
To get to Derrick, the officers forcefully rammed themselves into the brutes.
âWhat do you think youâre doing? Youâre resisting arrest. Do you know what that means?â shouted the Police Tactical Unit leader at the brutes.
However, the brutes remained adamant about keeping the officers away from Derrick. âWe donât care!
All we know is that if you want to take our chief away, youâll have to go through us!â
âYeah! Weâll die before we let you take him!â All of a sudden, some of the other villagers joined the brutes in defending Derrick.
Before long, the officers found themselves surrounded by the villagers just like they did Derrick and his men.
Bang! The unit leader pulled his gun and fired at the sky when he realized that things had gotten out of hand. âWhat the heck is this? Are you trying to rebel against the law? I can have you all arrested for what youâre doing right now!â
He was not about to let the villagers get their way just because he and his officers were outnumbered.
When Derrick saw how many stood up to support him, his fear left him and arrogance returned to take its place. âIs that so? I would very much like to see you try. Do you think you can scare us with that little gun of yours? I dare you to shoot one of us!â
âDo you have any idea where you are right now? This is Greendale Village. Our turf! You outsiders have no say here!â
âYeah! Get out of here, outsiders!â
âGet off our turf!â
With Derrickâs instigation, the villagers quickly got bold and started picking up solid objects nearby to throw at the officers, who could do nothing to stop the riot.
Out of options, the officers could only back away from the villagers in the end.
Derrick then turned to look at the unit leader. âWho do you answer to? Chief Simmons just so happens to be a close friend of mine, and Iâve already informed him of what I did, so you better stay out of this.
Otherwise, Iâm afraid that not you nor your fellow officers can leave this village without our say-so.â
âAre you threatening me?â The leader looked daggers at Derrick when he heard the man.
âOf course not. Itâs just a friendly reminder.â Having said that, Derrick took out his phone and made a call. âHey, Mr. Crawson. We have a little situation here, so I might need you to send some men to assist us. You will? Oh, thank you so much! Iâll be waiting.â
After hanging up, Derrick turned to scoff at the Police Tactical Unit leader. âYou think youâre all that just because youâre a police officer? Well, I have friends on the force too. Letâs see you try to get rid of them.â
At that point, Derrick got so brazen that he was wholly convinced he had the officers in the palm of his hand.
âWhy you littleâ¦â As much as the leader wanted to humble the insolent man, there was nothing he could do with the villagers hell-bent on protecting Derrick.
Almost as helpless as a baby, the leader decided to turn to Jonathan for suggestions. As a mere unit leader, he could not authorize his men to make a move on civilians. âWhat should we do, Mr.
Goldstein? Should we call Mr. Lautner andââ
In response, Jonathan waved his hand. âThat wonât be necessary. Order your men to take these villagers down now and let me worry about Mr. Lautner.â
âYes, Sir!â
With Jonathanâs assurance, the leader immediately gave his men the order to march forward and subdue the villagers.
However, before they could do anything, they suddenly heard a convoy of police cars coming their way.
The sirens and the lights on the vehicles were exactly the same as the ones the Police Tactical Unit officers had.
After the car in the lead stopped, a middle-aged man in a jet-black coat stepped out, and following behind him were dozens of other police officers.
âWhatâs going on here?â questioned the man with authority.
âMr. Crawson, youâre finally here!â exclaimed Derrick before turning to point at Jonathan. âI donât know who gave that outsider command of the Police Tactical Unit, but heâs trying to capture me.â
âWait. What? Did you say Police Tactical Unit?â With his brows furrowed in curiosity, Damien quickly walked past Derrick to look at the group of officers opposite of him.
âAt least thatâs what they look like. For all we know, they could be anybody,â responded Derrick with a sneer.
Damien then approached the unit leader and questioned, âWhat unit are you from?â
âWeâre the Police Tactical Unit, and Iâm the leader. Weâre handling a case now, so please have your men stand down and refrain from interfering,â ordered the leader coldly.
âA case? What case?â
âThatâs classified.â
The police chief narrowed his eyes suspiciously at the Police Tactical Unit when their leader refused to divulge the details. âDo you have a badge?â
âOf course. Here.â The leader then handed his badge over, but Damien barely took a second to examine it before simply accusing them of forgery. âI need you to come to the precinct with us for further investigation because youâre now suspected of forgery.â
âWhat did you say? Are you blind or something? Canât you see the insignia on the badge?â roared the leader while glaring at the man.
âDo you think Iâm going to just take your word for it? Weâll know if itâs the real deal after we get to the precinct.â With that, Damien motioned for his men to arrest the Police Tactical Unit.
âDonât you dare lay a finger on me or my men!â threatened the leader.
In response, the police chief scoffed at the unit leader. âAre you trying to resist arrest? Let me remind you that youâre in Greendale Village, so you better behave yourself. Otherwise, things will only get worse for you.â
