The Legendary Man novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160 Shall I Beat You Again

“Is that true?” Austin looked at Hagar.

“No, there’s no such thing!” Hagar shook his head vehemently. “We only enquired about the compensation they were supposed to pay us for occupying our land. In the end, not only did they not pay, they even beat us up!”

Hagar twisted the facts and lied through his teeth.

“Nonsense!” Josephine rebutted his words at once. “They didn’t hit you at all!”

“In that case, who did?” Hagar scoffed in Josephine’s direction.

“I…”

Stumped, Josephine was suddenly lost for words.

The wounds on those men were obvious, especially that of Hagar. In fact, his leg was still bleeding from where the steel rod had pierced through.

Consequently, Josephine couldn’t deny it at all.

“I was the one who beat them up.” Jonathan gave Hagar the side-eye. “What’s wrong? Do you think that I have gone too light on you?”

“Officer! Look, he is still threatening me!” Hagar turned to Austin, who furrowed his eyebrows when he heard Jonathan’s words. Austin inquired, “Were you the one who beat them up?”

“That’s right!” Jonathan quipped.

“Do you take me for a fool?” At that moment, Austin was enraged. “How can you single-handedly beat up tens of men? What more to that extent!”

When he saw how wimpy Jonathan looked, he assumed Jonathan couldn’t even defeat one of them, let alone the entire group. Does he think this is a movie?

“There’s nothing I can do if you don’t believe me.” Jonathan was in no mood to entertain Austin, as it was evident he sided with the gang of thugs.

“Watch your attitude!” Austin was infuriated by Jonathan’s answer. “Men, round them all up and take them back to the station. Whatever it is, we’ll talk there!”

“Yes!”

Instead of approaching Hagar and his men, the group of police officers wanted to arrest Jonathan, Josephine, and the construction workers instead.

“Wait!”

When he saw that Austin wanted to capture them before even investigating, Jonathan’s expression darkened. “How can you not inquire or verify the truth before arresting us? In fact, all you rely on is a one-sided story.”

“I already told you that we will talk more back at the station.” Austin sneered, “Besides, it’s not your place to teach me how to do my job. This is police business!”

Just as he spoke, Austin waved his hand. “Seize them!”

Just when the police made their move, the group of construction workers panicked.

After all, they were just simple workers who had never encountered such a situation before. The moment they realized they were about to be taken, they lost their nerve.

What’s going to happen to us if we are not released after a few days? Our family relies on us to feed them.

“Whatever it is, just complete your investigations here. Today, you are not arresting anyone of us.” Jonathan didn’t want to waste any time. “If you want to take them away, tell Randall Swindell to see me right now and arrest them right in front of my face!”
