The Legendary Man Chapter 242

By Order

“Take them away now!” As soon as Damien gave the order, a large group of officers quickly formed a ring around the Police Tactical Unit, who got even more outnumbered then.

“What is the meaning of this? Are you turning against your fellow law enforcers? Aren’t you afraid of spilling blood on these streets?” questioned the leader anxiously.

Had it been gangsters surrounding them, the Police Tactical Unit would have raised their weapons without a second thought.

Unfortunately, they were confronted by fellow police officers, and the consequences of pitting cops against cops were unthinkable.

Damien chuckled at the unit leader as though he had heard a joke. “Why would I be afraid? Do you think I can get to where I am now if I were a gutless coward? Do whatever you have to do, and let’s find out who between us will get demoted.”

Then, the police chief turned to shout at his men, “What the heck are you people waiting for? Arrest them now!”

“Yes, Sir!”

Looking at the men charging toward his unit, the leader hardened his face. As much as he wanted to retaliate, he was worried about the consequences. If I were to order my men to resist the local police officers, I might just lose my job. After all, our mission is only to protect Mr. Goldstein, so that means we’re not allowed to raise our weapons if he’s not in danger.

“What should we do now, Mr. Goldstein?” The leader turned back to Jonathan again for instructions.

“Tell your men to ready their weapons. From this moment on, you arrest anyone who gets in the way. As for those who resist, let your men know that they’re authorized to use deadly force. One way or another, Derrick is coming with us today.”

The leader widened his eyes in disbelief when he heard Jonathan. What? Are we to shoot the local police officers? Who’s going to be held responsible when innocent blood is spilled?

“Shouldn’t we discuss this with Mr. Lautner first, Mr. Goldstein?” The leader was hesitant about carrying out Jonathan’s order, for he feared that he could not shoulder such responsibility.

“As I said before, that won’t be necessary. Just do as I command. If Mr. Lautner has anything to say about it, you can ask him to speak to me. There’s nothing to worry about,” insisted Jonathan.

Still, the leader was unsure if that was the best course of action. “But Sir, if we do this, we’ll—”

“Just do what I tell you to do! Or do you think that I’m not fit to give command any longer?”

Upon hearing that, the leader immediately shook his head. “No, Sir. That’s not what I—”

“Then what is it?” interrupted Jonathan as he gave the man an icy-cold look.

“I…” Suddenly, the leader got so nervous that his mind went blank.

Since Jonathan was only a VIP in Cranur, he did not officially have the authority to command the Police Tactical Unit, which meant he could always just walk away if things were to go sideways.

No matter how the man put it, the unit leader knew that he would be held accountable in the end.
