The moment he said that, his men immediately moved to arrest them.
“Wait!” Jack abruptly called out.
Alan's eyes narrowed into slits. “What else do you want to say?”
Jack's expression was hostile when he said, “We're soldiers of the North, and you're from the Security Department of the South. Since when you have the authority to arrest soldiers of the North Army?”
“That's right, Officer Goldstein. According to the rules, if there's a problem with the North Army soldiers, the Security Department in the North should be the one to handle them, not the one in the South,” Franklin chimed in.
Alan gritted out with displeasure, “Are you teaching me how to do my job, General Wilson?” “I wouldn't dare!” Franklin became slightly awkward.
Alan looked down his nose at him. “I thought
SO.
“Men, seize these eighteen men and take them away.
Jack looked at Alan, his gaze steady. “You don't have the authority to arrest us. If you arrest me today, I'm afraid you'll come to regret it tomorrow.”
Alan huffed coldly. “There's no such thing as regret in my dictionary. As for you b*stards who had the guts to hurt my nephew, I'll be sure to give you hell after we arrest you.”
“Take them away!”
A dozen Security Department personnel charged forward to capture Jack and the rest.
The Eighteen Riders did not put up a fight, allowing themselves to be arrested.
Franklin watched in horror as the Eighteen Riders of the North were arrested. Then, he hastily instructed one of his men, “Hurry! Inform the General that the Eighteen Riders have been taken away by someone from the Goldstein family.”
“Yes, Sir!”
Penny led Nathan and Ava to Cross Group's reception room to meet the Goldstein family's lawyer, Jeffrey Nelson.
Besides a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles, Jeffrey was also wearing a hostile expression as he pushed a lawyer's letter toward Penny, then said in an arrogant manner, “Good day, Ms.
Smith. I am the Goldstein family's lawyer, Jeffrey Nelson.”
Without waiting for Penny's response, he continued, ”1 came here to issue you a lawyer's letter on behalf of my client, Madam Goldstein.”
Penny glanced at the lawyer's letter on the table and asked doubtfully, “What's this about?”
