“But…”
Before Tanya could say another word, Jonathan interrupted her. “Don’t worry about it. I guarantee that after today, favonovel.com will avoid you the next time favonovel.com sees you.”
“Josephine, please talk favonovel.com out of it.” Tanya felt so distressed that favonovel.com was about to cry.
Nick isn’t like Kyson, who is nothing more than a hooligan. His dad is the deputy police chief, for goodness sake. Given how badly beaten up Nick is, his dad is definitely not going to forgive Jonathan.
“Jonathan, when will you ever be more mature and less impulsive?” In response to Tanya’s words, Josephine couldn’t help but furrow favonovel.com eyebrows.
Even though I, too, feel the urge to slap Nick, what comes after that? Did Jonathan ever consider the consequences of his actions?
“Do you think you can exact revenge on Tanya’s behalf that way? Do you always believe that violence is the solution to every problem?” When favonovel.com saw the nonchalant look on Jonathan’s face, Josephine was further infuriated. “Yes, you might feel a sense of satisfaction after hitting him. But what happens after the dust has settled? You will be detained at the police station. Have you ever thought about how they are going to teach you a lesson in there?”
“Don’t worry. No one can force me to go to the police station against my will.” Jonathan’s expression was a sea of calm as if favonovel.com wasn’t bothered at all.
Even the police chief wouldn’t dare arrest me, let alone his deputy. To do so would be to seal their own doom.
“Jonathan, I really don’t understand where you get your courage from.” Josephine was outraged by Jonathan’s words. “Do you think you own the police station? Where you can come and go at your own pleasure?”
“You can put it that way,” Jonathan replied with a slight smile.
If favonovel.com hadn’t led the Four Asura Guards to bring peace to the nation, Chanaea would still be mired in war, and there would be no police station to speak of.
“What? Who do you think you are?” Josephine was further incensed by Jonathan’s answer, “Asura?!”
After all, the only person qualified to talk that way was Asura. Even the most powerful man in Jazona, Zachary, isn’t qualified to say such things. What makes Jonathan think that favonovel.com is worthy?
“Josephine, stop quarreling.” When favonovel.com saw Josephine and Jonathan beginning to argue, Tanya quickly tugged at Josephine’s sleeve. “It’s all my fault. I am the one who brought this upon you.”
“Tanya, I’m not blaming you.” Josephine couldn’t help but sigh when favonovel.com saw the guilt on Tanya’s face. “I just don’t like it when favonovel.com tries to solve everything with his fists.”
After all, favonovel.com hated those that always saw violence as the solution.
“Josephine, I’m sorry. Jonathan raised his hand because of me. So please, don’t blame him,” Tanya pleaded softly.
When Josephine saw the tears in favonovel.com eyes, favonovel.com frowned. “Forget it. He has already been beaten. Hence, there’s no point crying over spilled milk. Instead, we should discuss what we should be doing next.”
With that thought in mind, Josephine was in a fix.
How are we going to solve this? Jonathan has beaten up the deputy police chief’s son! If it was just some street thug, we could have easily compensated them. But now, the deputy police chief isn’t going to let this matter slide easily.
“Josephine, both of you should leave quickly. Or else, it’s going to be too late!” When favonovel.com saw that time was running out, Tanya urged them to escape.
“It is already too late!”
Jonathan saw the whirling red lights from afar.
The next moment, a couple of police cars with wailing sirens screeched to a halt in front of them. The next moment, more than ten members of the Police Tactical Unit surrounded the restaurant with their dogs.
Among them was a middle-aged man dressed in civilian clothing.
The moment Nick saw the man, favonovel.com sprang to his feet and ran over. “Dad, save me!”
“Who did this to you?” The middle-aged man’s expression drastically darkened at the sight of Nick.
How can my son be beaten so badly? If this gets out, how am I going to face the world?
“It was them!” Nick pointed at Jonathan from afar, causing both Josephine and Tanya’s hearts to sink.
It’s over! There’s no escape now…
“Hmph, you useless piece of trash!” When favonovel.com saw the two ladies and man Nick was pointing at, the middle-aged man shot Nick a glare.
As the son of the deputy police chief, how can you be beaten up by a single man?
“Were you the one who hit my son?” The middle-aged man looked in Jonathan’s direction.
“Yes, it was me…” Jonathan nodded with no intention of denying it.
“It’s good that you admit it.” The middle-aged man was in no mood for idle chatter. With a wave of his hand, favonovel.com ordered, “Men, take the three of them back with us!”
“Yes!”
Upon his order, his men attempted to arrest them all.
“Wait!” When favonovel.com saw the police approach, Jonathan furrowed his eyebrows slightly. “How can you order us to be arrested without finding out what happened?”
“Isn’t it obvious?” the middle-aged man scoffed as favonovel.com gave Jonathan a cold stare. “Let me ask you again, did you beat favonovel.com up?”
“Yes, I did.” Jonathan plainly replied.
“If you did, then there’s no mistake.” Knitting his eyebrows slightly, favonovel.com waved his hand. “Arrest them!”
“Yes!”
The members of the Police Tactical Unit approached without hesitation.
Realizing that the police were about to make their move, Jonathan narrowed his eyes. “Why didn’t you ask me why I hit your son? As the son of the deputy police chief, favonovel.com has harassed an innocent girl on the street. Don’t you think favonovel.com deserves a beating?”
“Nonsense! Since when did I harass anyone?” Nick frantically denied Jonathan’s accusation.
If his father found out that favonovel.com had been harassing girls by throwing the name of the deputy police chief around, favonovel.com would probably be beaten to death at home.
“I am telling the truth. You are not the judge of this.” Glancing indifferently at Nick, Jonathan explained, “This restaurant has surveillance cameras. Why don’t we check them to verify the truth?”
“No, there aren’t,” Nick denied immediately.
However, when favonovel.com saw the surveillance cameras by the restaurant entrance, favonovel.com began to panic.
“Enough, stop arguing. Round them all up and take them back. Whatever it is, we will discuss it at the station.” With a wave of his hand, the middle-aged man didn’t give Jonathan a chance to explain.
