The parents who were there to pick up their children were shocked by the presence of the police. They grabbed their children and cowered on the ground, afraid to be collateral damage in case something bad happened.
"Did you call the police?" One of the armed officers asked Logan. He was obviously the leader of the team.
"Yes, there."
Logan raised his arm and pointed at the Maybach not far away calmly. He was waiting for a scene to go down. Did that bad man really think he wouldn't do anything if he had his mother?
The police would deal with the bad guys.
The policeman looked at the Maybach in front of him. When he saw the man sitting inside, he immediately thought that the child had misunderstood something.
"Mr Maynard."
Logan was waiting to see the bad man being taken away by the police, but what he saw was the police kowtowing to the bad man. His world collapsed around him. Did he call the wrong kind of police? The other policemen were even trying to lecture him.
"Kid, don't prank call the police. Your parents are just here to pick you up, you shouldn't call the police for fun."
"..."
Logan didn't know what to think. Wait, whose parents?
His mommy was there. Who was the father?
Only then did Henry open the car door and step out. His noble aura was intimidating. "Have you figured out what's going on?"
"Yes, Mr Maynard, your son was just being mischievous."
With that, the police left. The North City police force had just been ridiculed in front of so many people, but they didn't dare to scold the perpetrator. It was a huge embarrassment to the entire force.
After the police car left, Henry looked at the little fellow standing at the side. "This brat actually called the police to arrest me!" he thought angrily.
Luz was not sure whether to laugh or cry at this development. She lowered her head when she met Logan's disapproving eyes. How would she tell him about her relationship with Henry?
"There's no need to call for such an expensive car just to pick me up. I'd prefer an ordinary taxi."
"..."
Knowing that the little fellow was expressing his dissatisfaction, she had no choice but to hug him. "Logan, baby, there's a grandma who would love to meet you. Would you come with me?"
Logan stared at Luz for a long time, then turned to look at Henry. "Whatever."
Luz took that as a yes and pulled him into the car. Just as Henry was about to start the car to go to the Maynard family residence, he heard the boy say from behind him, "Drive slowly, Mr Driver, I don't like the sound of the accelerator."
"..."
The corners of Henry's mouth twitched. "This brat is calling me a driver!" he thought.
Luz felt a lot better after all this, especially when she saw Henry unable to lose his temper. It was very gratifying.
