The Legendary Man novel Chapter 138

Chapter 138 Do Not Ask For Trouble

When Jonathan heard the voices, he instinctively glanced over.

After doing so, his brows knitted together.

Why is it him again? Are there no other police officers in Jazona?

“What exactly is happening here, Mr. Goldstein?” In the face of Jonathan, Rhett inexplicably felt a touch unnerved.

As the police chief, few can intimidate me in the whole of Jazona that I’d feel daunted and lose all courage. Yet, he happens to be one of them! Even the top dog of the Divine Dragon Guards, Thierry, didn’t dare utter a single word of protest before him. What am I, a mere police chief, in comparison? I’ll lose my position if I dare go against him!

“Can’t you see what’s going on here?” Jonathan replied airily.

“Ah, this is a misunderstanding! This is definitely a misunderstanding! How could Mr. Goldstein possibly commit murder?” Since Jonathan refused to help him out, he could only make up an excuse himself.

Alas, before he had even finished speaking, Tavion’s secretary screeched at the top of her lungs, “It’s no misunderstanding! I witnessed him beating Mr. Callahan up to within an inch of his life with my own eyes and he almost killed him! How could it be a misunderstanding? Quick, arrest him and take him to the police station!”

While she was petrified in the face of Jonathan, who shattered Mike’s leg without an ounce of hesitation, that she didn’t dare utter a single word, she was no longer afraid since the police were here.

Her confidence had returned in a trice.

“Are you instructing me here?” Rhett’s expression promptly darkened at her commanding tone. “Do I need you to teach me how to do my work?”

“How dare you?” Tavion’s secretary grew so furious that her face contorted into a mask of fury. “What kind of attitude is this? Do you believe that I’ll call and lodge a complaint against you to the police chief?”

“Do you want to lodge a complaint against me? Well, just go ahead. I’m the police chief!”

Rhett hadn’t any avenue to vent his anger, so her action was tantamount to volunteering herself to be his punching bag.

If there weren’t so many people looking on, I’d whirl around and leave right this instant! I inadvertently stuck my oar in his affairs yesterday, and I almost got dismissed from my position! Would I dare make the same mistake again?

“You’re the police chief, you said? I’m Preston York, a member of the York family!” Preston, who was slumped at a corner near the door, exclaimed all of a sudden.

Preston York?

Rhett frowned upon hearing that.

The heir of the York family, Preston York? While I’ve never seen him, I’ve heard of his name. He’s a notorious playboy with a legendary reputation in Jazona. Why is he here?

“I can testify that there’s no misunderstanding here! He indeed has the intention of committing murder here, and he almost killed me!” Throwing him a frosty look, Preston added, “Do you see the injuries on me? It was all thanks to him!”

What? He beat Preston up?

Rhett’s eye twitched when he heard that.
