A few men in police uniforms walked in and one of them took out a police officer's card. "We are from the Criminal Police Unit. Someone reported that you are doing illegal business here."
Maddox paused and turned his head. His cold gaze landed on Godber's face with indifference. The latter did not expect the police to come. Godber's face turned pale.
Maddox slowly looked back, making a mocking sneer. Tonight, Dream Nightclub would disappear from Benin.
The police came in and searched every corner of the room, while Maddox and Godber were taken downstairs.
The bar that used to be lively and noisy was very quiet at this moment. Only the colorful lights were still flickering.
More than a dozen policemen surrounded the guests. Some were panic-stricken, while others stared at the policemen with ferocious expressions.
"Maddox."
As soon as Maddox walked over, a policeman went up to greet him.
Seeing this person, Maddox finally revealed a sincere smile, "Talbot."
Talbot smiled and punched Maddox on the shoulder, "Why are you here?"
"I have an appointment with someone," Maddox replied casually.
"You have an appointment?" Talbot frowned, "You shouldn't have made an appointment in such a place."
As he spoke, he could tell how much Talbot despised this club.
Maddox smiled and said with other implications, "This is the last time."
Talbot glanced at him spitefully. "It would be the best if this was the last time. Next time, without me, you'll be in trouble.”
"A straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe,” Maddox said seriously.
Talbot couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, you are right."
Following that, Talbot instructed the policemen to thoroughly search the nightclub. Then, he raised his hand to hook Maddox's shoulder and planned to leave.
Seeing that Maddox was so familiar with the police, how could Godber miss the opportunity to ride Maddox's coattails? He hurriedly shouted at Maddox, who was about to leave, "Mr. Shen, don't leave. Help me talk to your friend. There is no illegal business in my club."
Hearing this, Maddox stopped. Talbot, who was beside him, turned to look at Maddox and frowned. "Hey, Maddox, you don't want to speak for Godber, do you?"
Maddox did not answer. Talbot was anxious, "Don't let me look down on you. Do you know what kind of person Godber is?"
"I know." Maddox glanced at him, then and then turned around to look at Godber who was not far away.
Upon seeing him turn around, Godber felt hopeful.
Next, Maddox's calm voice sounded, "Mr. Young, since there is no illegal business, let them search. A straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe, right?"
With that, Maddox turned around and left without looking back.
Talbot was shocked on the spot. When he understood Maddox's words, Maddox had long left. Talbot looked at Godber and hurried to chase after Maddox.
