The Legendary Man Chapter 386

The Governor Appears

It was apparent that he was well aware of the consequences.

As a senior inspector, he clearly knew what disobeying his superior’s order meant.

A light punishment would be a termination of his duty, but a heavy one would require him to bear criminal responsibility.

Atop the hill, there was a moment of silence.

Numerous special police had weapons in their hands. They were patiently waiting for their superior’s order. However, time ticked by, and more than ten seconds soon passed.

After waiting for a while, they still didn’t receive the order to shoot.

What’s going on?

Instantly, everyone couldn’t help but look toward the helicopter hovering in mid-air. Just when everyone’s attention was on the aircraft, a person in it gave the command to retreat. “Attention, all members of the police force. Keep your guns and fall back immediately.”

What?

When the police heard the words fall back, they were shocked.

Who would have thought they would receive a retreat order after such a long wait.

One of the special police couldn’t refrain from asking, “Why?”

“There is no reason to it. This is an order!” The senior police officer, Igor, yelled from the helicopter, “Everyone, retreat within a minute! Do it now!”

“Roger that!”

With his order, no matter how unwilling the special police were, they must follow it. They immediately lowered their guns and retreated.

After all, in the police force, an order was above everything else.

Moreover, the special police’s duty was to obey all instructions.

Even if it was a life-and-death situation, as long as their superior placed an order, they had to obey it. At that time, although the police wanted to fire and restore the police department’s dignity, they had to fall back because of the order.

“Chief Zahn!” While the group of special police was backing off, Jamie, who stood at the hilltop, couldn’t hold back his darkened expression anymore.

“Chief Zahn, what does this mean? Are you going to pull out your men just like this?”

“What is it? Do I have to report to you how the police work?” questioned the enraged Igor furiously after hearing Jamie’s words.

“It is apparent that you don’t need to report what the police are doing to me. But I suggest you give me an explanation of your decision. If not, I will tell Governor Langdon everything you guys did!”

Jamie suppressed his anger and continued, “I am curious to see if the police force can just take actions without Governor Langdon’s consent.”

At that moment, Jamie was infuriated.

I’m already well-prepared to witness Jonathan’s death! How can the police force retreat just like that? I am the patriarch of the Larson family. What do they take me for? Am I a monkey to them?

“Oh, you don’t need to inform Governor Langdon about the situation. He was the person who gave the retreat order.” With that said, Igor sneered and shouted, “Retreat!”

With that said, all the special police who surrounded the hilltop vanished in an instant.

Within a blink of an eye, only Jonathan, Jamie, Wilson, and Cecilia were on the hilltop.

After the police left, Jamie stood on the spot in disbelief.

“That’s impossible. How can this be possible? Why would George order them to retreat?”

Until then, Jamie couldn’t understand why George would suddenly order the police to fall back.
