Justin Smith squinted his eyes and stared at Lightning. “Lightning, what is the meaning of this? Why have you surrounded my villa with so many people?”
“Hmph!” Lightning snorted coldly. “Justin Smith, you are suspected of various illegal activities. I am here today to arrest you!”
“Arrest me?” Upon hearing this, Justin Smith’s face turned extremely ugly. He was the director of the East Coast Patrol Office, usually commanding great respect in East Coast. For Lightning to come and arrest him was simply outrageous!
Justin Smith cursed loudly, “Lightning, you are just a mere detective from the patrol office. Who gave you the guts to arrest me?”
“It was me!” A majestic voice echoed through the area, sounding like thunder in everyone’s ears. Chris Shelby emerged from behind, exuding a powerful aura that commanded reverence from all who saw him.
“It’s you?” Seeing Chris Shelby, Justin Smith’s pupils contracted violently. Chris Shelby’s cold face confirmed it. “Yes, it’s me! Justin Smith, we meet again!”
Justin Smith gritted his teeth in hatred upon seeing Chris Shelby. If not for Chris Shelby, he wouldn’t have been beaten so badly before. He couldn’t believe this scoundrel had the audacity to come here.
Justin Smith shouted at Lightning, “Lightning, are you stupid? The man who assaulted me is right here! Arrest him immediately!”
Lightning remained unmoved by Justin Smith’s outburst. What a joke! Chris Shelby was the King of East Coast! As a mere detective, even with a hundred times more courage, he wouldn’t dare to arrest Chris Shelby.
Lightning’s face turned cold. “Justin Smith, you’re facing your doom and still don’t realize it! Do you even know who is standing before you?”
“Who?” Justin Smith asked instinctively, suddenly feeling a bad premonition.
“Hmph!” Lightning snorted again. “Open your eyes wide, Justin Smith. This is the King of East Coast!”
Boom! The words struck Justin Smith like a thunderbolt. He was stunned and couldn’t believe it. He never imagined that Chris Shelby was the King of East Coast! No wonder Chris Shelby was so bold as to sweep through the entire patrol office alone.
After a long time, Justin Smith finally reacted. He stared blankly at Chris Shelby and asked, “Are you really the King of East Coast?”
Chris Shelby’s eyes were icy cold. “Yes, I am the King of East Coast! Justin Smith, your days of evil deeds are over!”
Justin Smith had amassed countless wealth through corruption and allowed his men to terrorize street vendors, causing severe social harm. Such a person deserved no mercy!
In an instant, Justin Smith’s face turned deathly pale as he realized why Lightning dared to come after him so boldly-it was all because of Chris Shelby!
Despair filled Justin Smith’s heart as he knew his crimes were too numerous to count. If caught, he would surely be executed.
Suddenly, madness overtook Justin Smith’s expression. He raised his head with bloodshot eyes and glared at Chris Shelby with insane rage. “Even if you are the King of East Coast, do you think you can kill me that easily?”
He then glanced at his bodyguards and shouted, “I’ve spent so much money on you all; it’s time to repay me! Protect my life and I’ll give each of you a billion dollars!”
Boom! The promise of such an astronomical sum made the breaths of hundreds of bodyguards quicken. As they say, people die for wealth as birds die for food.
“Protect the master!” they shouted in unison as hundreds of guns pointed at Chris Shelby and his men.
Seeing this, Justin Smith laughed triumphantly at Chris Shelby. “So what if you’re the King of East Coast? You will pay a price if you want to capture me today!”
With hundreds of bodyguards protecting him, Justin Smith’s confidence soared. Chris Shelby’s face turned extremely cold at this sight; he hadn’t expected Justin Smith to dare attack him and even stockpile weapons.
“Stubborn fool! Since you’re seeking death, I’ll grant it!” Chris Shelby wasn’t fazed by Justin Smith’s desperate struggle; a mere Justin Smith wasn’t worth his anger.
Turning to Lightning, Chris Shelby commanded coldly, “Take care of this within ten minutes or pack your things and leave East Coast tomorrow! I don’t keep useless people around.”
“Yes!” Lightning shouted in response. Facing hundreds of armed bodyguards put immense pressure on him but with Chris Shelby present, he had no choice but to capture Justin Smith or lose everything he had in East Coast.
“All units listen up! Justin Smith is resisting arrest; shoot to kill!” Lightning ordered as thousands of patrol officers drew their weapons against Justin Smith.
The battle erupted instantly with bullets flying through the air and screams echoing as people fell into pools of blood.
Chris Shelby sat on a chair unfazed by the chaos around him; such minor skirmishes couldn’t stir any emotion within him.
Meanwhile, Lightning anxiously directed the fight but found it difficult due to Justin Smith’s heavily armed guards preventing them from breaching the villa.
Seeing this situation unfold made Lightning worry about Chris Shelby’s safety amidst such intense firepower but when he suggested retreating for safety reasons,
Chris Shelby dismissed it calmly saying “No need; this small scene isn’t worth mentioning.”
