Chapter 161 Are You Threatening Me
“Are you threatening me?” Upon hearing Austin’s words, Harrison sneered, “I would like to see just who it is I can’t afford to offend in Jadeborough!”
I don’t give a whit how powerful the person who’s backing him up is! How much can it amount to anyway? Can it by any means surpass the authority of Asura?
“It seems that you’re determined to poke your nose into this matter, Harrison.” Austin’s expression went chilly when he saw that the man was adamant about getting involved in the mess. “In that case, don’t blame me for showing you no courtesy!”
Turning to his subordinates, he ordered, “Men, arrest him as well!”
“Come on then! I’m eager to see who dares to arrest me!” Harrison eyed the group of police officers with a smirk. Meanwhile, the group of police officers looked at each other, none daring to move an inch.
Is this for real? How would we dare arrest him? Who is he? He’s the most ruthless man in Jadeborough and has even taken over the Blackwood family some time ago, oppressing the other three prominent families. Besides, there are even signs that he might dominate the leading position among the four prominent families! How are we going to survive in Jadeborough in the future if we arrest him? Furthermore, we might even lose our jobs!
“Why the hell are you all standing around, twiddling your thumbs? Hurry up and arrest him!” Austin went ballistic, seeing that none of the police officers dared to act.
“Are you sure about this, Captain Stewart?” one of the police officers queried cautiously.
“Yes! Arrest them all! I’ll take responsibility if it comes to that!” It was clear as day that Harrison had infuriated Austin. With a wave of his hand, the group of police officers under his command no longer hesitated but swarmed forward at once to arrest Harrison as well.
Harrison’s expression changed when he saw them all charging at him. He took out a metal pipe from the car and slammed it on the front of the vehicle with a bang. “Come on! Let me see which of you has the guts to arrest me!”
After saying that, he glanced over his shoulder at his lackeys behind him, commanding, “Cripple whichever of them dares to take a step forward today!”
“Understood, Mr. Seymour!”
Following that order, the lackeys he brought with him all took out metal pipes and steel rods from their cars without a second’s delay, facing off with the police.
“Have you lost your mind, Harrison? Do you know what you’re doing? You’re resisting arrest!” Austin’s face flushed bright red from fury when he saw that Harrison and his lackeys actually dared to have a direct confrontation with the police.
“Stop yakking! I’ll just stand here today and see whether any of you dares to take action against me!” Harrison hadn’t the slightest regard for Austin.
In a trice, the situation came to a stalemate.
Never had Austin expected Harrison to openly challenge the police for the sake of Jonathan, who had no background to speak of.
“I’ve already given you an opportunity, Harrison. Don’t blame me since you didn’t cherish it!” Right after he finished saying that, he whipped out his phone and made a call without wasting his breath further.
A moment later, a man’s deep and authoritative voice rang out from the other end of the phone.
“Hello?”
“Hello, Chief Watson. The mission ran into a bit of a snag. Harrison intervened midway and is now determined to stick his oar into the matter. He’s even publicly challenging the police alongside his lackeys. How should I handle this?” As Austin talked on the phone, he stared at Harrison coldly.
The provocation in his eyes shone brightly, and his gaze was seemingly telling Harrison that his impending retaliation was near at hand, and he would later pay the man back for his insubordination.
