The Legendary Man novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163 A Solemn Vow

“Nonsense! What utter lies!” No sooner did Austin’s words ring out than Randall’s expression abruptly turned wintry. “I now suspect that you’re in cahoots with this group of ruffians and had aided them in extorting the person in charge of the ecological park project!”

Then, he instructed, “Men, arrest him!”

As he spoke, he pointed right at Austin.

“Mr. Swindell… How could you slander me? That’s not true at all!” When Austin heard the order for him to be arrested without any hesitation, panic engulfed him.

“We’ll see about that back at the police station!” Snorting, Randall commanded, “Escort him back to the police station and investigate what exactly his relationship is with this group of ruffians! Also, detain all of them and look into whether the ecological park project really occupied their land!”

Not in the mood to waste his breath with them, he ordered to have Austin and the group of men in black arrested.

That sudden turn of events had Austin’s subordinates at a loss.

The order we received was to arrest the Smith family. However, we ended up failing in doing so. Instead, we’re to arrest our captain now?

“What are the lot of you waiting for? Hurry up and arrest him!” Randall was apoplectic when he saw the group of police officers merely standing there, not daring to make a single move.

“Mr. Swindell, this…” The group of police officers stood there dazedly, caught between a rock and a hard place.

“Is my order not effective anymore?” A layer of frost instantly blanketed Randall’s face. “I’m giving you two choices. Either arrest them all, or I’ll phone your police chief and have him send some men over again and arrest the lot of you as well!”

After saying that, Randall took out his phone to make a call. The group of police officers glanced at each other before steeling their resolve and coming to a decision. “We’re sorry, Captain Stewart!”

When they finished saying that, they frantically restrained Austin.

It wasn’t just him; Hagar and the group of people in black behind him were all escorted into the police car without fail.

“Mr. Swindell, everyone has been arrested. What should we do now?”

“Bring them all back to the police station and have the police chief investigate this matter personally. If he even dares to make the slightest mistake, he’ll be stripped of his position!” Randall’s expression was as grave as a judge.

“Understood!”

Following his order, the police officers escorted the group of people away from the ecological park without delay.

In a trice, the entrance of the ecological park that was inordinately lively earlier became deserted. Randall then strode over to Jonathan and assured, “Mr. Goldstein, I’ll personally look into this matter after going back. Once I’m done, I’ll definitely give you a satisfactory answer!”

“I’m giving you a day. I want the answer before night falls.” Glancing at him dispassionately, Jonathan added, “While you’re at it, investigate who wants to nab the ecological park project from the Smith family.”

“Mr. Goldstein, are you saying that this incident only transpired because someone wants to swipe the ecological park project from the Smith family?” In an instant, understanding dawned upon Randall.

After all, someone in his position couldn’t possibly be dense.
