The Legendary Man novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8 Is That Reason Enough

“Understood, Captain!”

Following that order, the few police officers from the Vice Enforcement Division whipped out a set of handcuffs and strode toward Jonathan without a single word.

At that sight, the crowd couldn’t help sneering.

“Aren’t you almighty, Jonathan? Fight back! Why don’t you dare make a move against the police?” Ysobel derided.

“Fight back? Look, he appears to have been scared silly! How would he dare retaliate? Don’t tell me he has peed his pants in fright?”

“Wasn’t he pompous earlier? Why did he become a coward now?”

At that moment, they all started to kick him when he was down.

They simply loathed seeing his superior demeanor just now. Isn’t he just a useless live-in son-in-law? Why was he acting as though he’s big cheese? Besides, he even claimed that he could give Josephine the world if she wanted it! Why is he now shaking in his boots before he has even seen a gun?

“So, this is the ace up your sleeve, Alvin?” Regardless of their denigration, Jonathan couldn’t even be bothered to spare them a glance.

They’re just some ants! They’re not worthy of my attention!

“If this is indeed your trump card, then I’m truly disappointed in you!” he lamented, shaking his head. Well, well… He wants to take me away with just a few police officers from the Vice Enforcement Division? Isn’t he underestimating me far too much?

“Look, he’s still putting up a brave front!” At his remark, the others instantly retorted before Alvin could even respond.

“That’s enough. Drop the act, Jonathan! Don’t you have any idea where you stand?”

“He’s really addicted to acting! Mr. Langford, just take him away without wasting your breath with him! I’m sick of seeing him!”

“Hear, hear! Take him away so that he can’t further embarrass himself here!”

At the crowd’s urging, Alvin stared down at Jonathan condescendingly. Not in the mood to yak with him, he waved a hand and ordered, “Take him away, Captain Jawson!”

“Take him away!”

With the command from Greg, his few subordinates immediately grabbed Jonathan’s arm. They even had a hand at their gun holsters at the waist. From their posture, it seemed as though they wouldn’t hesitate to draw their guns if he showed even the slightest hint of resistance.

“You’d better behave, lad! Otherwise, don’t blame us for showing you no courtesy!” The few police officers of the Vice Enforcement Division didn’t take the man seriously.

It wasn’t the first time they were doing such a thing, so they knew they only needed to obey their captain and arrest all those who offended Alvin before teaching them a lesson. Then, Alvin would naturally give them some money as a reward.

While it wasn’t much, they would get at least ten thousand per person.

That was enough for them to patronize a clubhouse and buy the company of a few chicks to carouse all night.

“It seems that the lot of you are truly lawless!” At the sight of them taking him by force, Jonathan sneered and demanded, “You’re simply arresting whomever you like without even a reason?”

“A reason?” Hearing that, one of the police officers gave a snort and replied, “Fine. You want a reason? I’ll give you one, then! I now suspect that you’re involved in drug trafficking! Is that reason enough?”

“It’s indeed enough.”

Surprisingly, Jonathan nodded without resisting in the least. Seeing his action, everyone there inexorably sniggered. The look in their eyes as they stared at him brimmed with contempt.
