“Got it, boss. We will hide her properly and they will definitely not find us.”
Phoenix’s answer slightly satisfied Fabian.
“Okay, that’s it. Remember the rules, if I don’t contact you, you are not allowed to contact me. Wait until Monday at least, and wait for my news for everything else.”
After speaking, Fabian hung up.
When the call ended, Phoenix held the phone obediently and looked up at Jasper. He did not dare to speak.
By this time, Jasper had already gone through the whole thing in his head.
Phoenix was just a minor character who could not amount to anything, just venting on him was enough.
It was Fabian and his gang that Jasper really wanted to retaliate against!
They were the real culprits.
“Julian, get him out of here,” Jasper ordered while leading Wendy downstairs.
With the tacit understanding between Julian and Jasper, Julian immediately understood that it was useful for Jasper to keep Phoenix around. He grabbed Phoenix and dragged him downstairs like a dog.
When he came outside, Jasper discovered that the Harbor City police were no weaker than the ones on the mainland.
It looked dark and silent everywhere, but when he appeared, a large group of policemen rushed out of the places where people could and could not hide.
The alarm was sounded and the lights were turned on. Then, Jasper even noticed that there were snipers on the roofs of several nearby buildings.
Jasper approached Chief Barrow and the others who were running toward them.
“How was it? Are you okay?”
Anna asked first.
“We’re okay.”
As soon as Jasper answered, he saw
Wendy and Anna staring at each other
without saying a word.
Jasper frowned but did not say a word.
Instead, he said to Chief Barrow, “Chief
Barrow, if I may be so bold as to ask a
favor.”
Chief Barrow raised his eyebrows and he
subconsciously noticed that trouble was
coming.
“Mr. Laine, you’re being courteous. You
can just voice what you want as long as it i
s reasonable.”
After he said that, Chief Barrow left some
leeway for himself.
“You can take away the kidnappers
upstairs, but I want to take him with me.”
Jasper pointed to Phoenix in Julian’s grip.
Only then did the people present look at
Phoenix.
When they saw Phoenix, they could not
help but take a sharp breath.
Boy, from which battlefield did this
kidnapper just escape from?
Why was he so beaten up?
Chief Barrow looked a little troubled. He
said, “According to the rules, these
kidnappers are to be taken away by the
police.
“Chief Barrow, they are just pawns who
were being used. The ones I am after are
the people behind the scenes, and
presumably, Chief Barrow doesn’t want to
escalate this with them, right?”
Although it seemed that it was fine to
hand these people to the police and ask
them to arrest Fabian and others, one had
to understand one thing.
A kidnapping case was nothing to people
with statuses like Fabian, Kayden, and
Jasper.
Fabian had countless ways to escape this. I
n addition to this, the judicial system used
in Harbor City was completely different
from that in the mainland. Moreover,
Fabian and the gang were in the United
States. If this matter was handed over to
the police, then the case would never be
closed.
Furthermore, this matter involved such high level players. Even for the Harbor City police, the best thing they could do was to control the group of kidnappers like Phoenix. Thus, the best choice for them was to end things here.
Sure enough, Chief Barrow frowned after he heard this.
