Moreover, at least seven or eight out of ten companies had illegal problems. They would have a bigger problem if they found something.
Among the three, Chief of Police Gabe put less pressure on others.
Although the police department was the authority, and the chief had all the power, Gabe could not arrest people if they did not commit crimes. Relatively speaking, his power was more limited.
“Let’s go. Let’s leave and find another restaurant,” Fernando quickly said to the moguls and entrepreneurs.
“Yes, yes, yes, let’s eat at another restaurant.”
“I was almost scared to death.”
“Sean is not a pushover. Avoid favonovel.com whenever you can if you meet favonovel.com in the future,” The men said as they sped out of Sky Restaurant as if running for their lives.

A private room on the third floor.
Sean had already sat down in the chair, and so did Zander and Gabe, but Derrick and Benji were still standing.
Sean asked Zander to close the door.
Then they looked at the two men and said, “Why are you still standing here? Sit!”
But, Derrick and Benji did not move.
After a while, Derrick and Benji suddenly bowed deeply to Sean.
After bowing, they still lowered their heads, refused to look up, and did not straighten their backs.
“Sorry, Commander Lennon. We abandoned the army!” Derrick said with a tremble in his voice.
Benji also said, “We did Dragon Kingdom wrong. We did the people wrong. We are cowards… We failed you, Commander Lennon!”
Hearing this, Sean laughed.
He got up from his chair, helped them up, and said earnestly, “I’ve already told Zander this. And I’ll say it again. You didn’t abandon the army. You discharged yourselves normally and didn’t abandon the army. You only abandon the army when you desert in war!”
“But we ran away after all. We were scared. We’re afraid to die.”
Derrick rubbed his eyes hard. His eyes were now red and brimming with tears.
Strangers would be shocked to see this.
The director of the prosecutors’ office, Derrick was famous in Midwich. The moguls were all afraid of him. They even nicknamed favonovel.com Iron Face Dragon behind his back. One could see how powerful Derrick was in front of the moguls and entrepreneurs!
However, this tough guy’s eyes were red and brimming with tears in front of Sean. He was just like a little girl, which was far different from his usual self at work!
“Everyone is afraid of death. I’m afraid of death too. No one in the world isn’t afraid of death. There is no shame in being afraid of death. It’s abnormal if you’re not afraid of death, and there is no shame in you choosing to retire,” Sean patted Derrick on the shoulder and said sincerely.
Derrick could not bear it any longer and began to sob. Benji’s body was also shaking slightly. He tried hard not to cry, but favonovel.com could hardly bear it now.
“Commander Lennon, we… We actually regretted it…”
“As soon as we got home after retiring, we regretted it… We want to return to the front line and the battlefield, but we don’t have the courage, and we don’t know how to face you… We failed. We failed to live up to your expectations,” Benji said, wiping tears from his face.
