After taking a few puffs of his cigarette, Nathan spoke again, “Tim, since you're the one in charge of public security here, I'll just leave it to you to take care of the situation. I was harassed by a few foreigners who called themselves members of The Cross Gang at the club last night. And now, these thugs have come for me directly. How are you going to resolve this case, officer?”
Thaddeus tensed up a little. His subordinates standing behind him also looked uneasy.
Thaddeus could tell that Nathan was someone of high status. However, at the same time, he was also quite convinced that he could get away with it. It could probably be settled with money. After all, he had spent years building connections in Brimmopolis.
Hence, even upon hearing Nathan's words, Thaddeus was not particularly worried and still wore a subtle smirk on his face.
“Mr. Cross, these thugs wreaked havoc in public and I propose to detain them for three days.
How does that sound?” Timothy replied nervously.
“That's it?” Nathan raised an eyebrow.
On the other hand, many of Thaddeus's subordinates were already scared stiff.
They dared not think of a punishment worse than detainment, and yet Nathan did not seem satisfied with the arrangements at all.
Thaddeus felt rather triggered by Nathan's remark. “What do you want? You little brat. Don't tell me that you want to deport us out of the country? Hah... Don't you even dream of that!”
The Cross Gang had barely settled down in Brimmopolis and had just gotten their businesses running. Being deported was the last thing that the gang members would want.
Panicking a little, Timothy quickly interjected, “Mr. Cross, how about a fifteen-day detainment?”
“Is that all?” Nathan smirked coldly and sat up.
“Timothy, do you need a revision of the laws of the country? Or are you practicing preferential treatment? Let me tell you this. I'm giving you one last chance to settle this in a rightful manner. If you fail to do so, I'll call my own men to deal with this, and if we do come to that situation, they aren't the only ones to be dealt with,” Nathan gnarled.
