Chapter 614


    “Freeze! Put your hands where I can see them!”


    As though he had found his savior, Wird screamed at the top of his lungs, “Help me, officers! This


    man killed all these people and threatened to break my fingers! He needs to be brought to justice!


    Hurry up and arrest—”


    Donald cut him off with another kick to the face, breaking his nose in the process.


    “Freeze, or we will open fire!” Clifford yelled.


    He didn''t think Donald would be bold enough to hit someone with so many police officers pointing


    their guns at him.


    Donald nced at Clifford and asked calmly, “Are you from the eastern branch? Do you know


    Joseph Moreno?”


    “I don''t know any man named Joseph! You are currently involved in a murder case, so put your


    knife down, or we will open fire!” Clifford snapped back at him angrily.


    He was particrly furious after noticing Yosef, who turned out to be his brother-inw, lying in a


    pool of blood.


    It was obvious that Donald was the one responsible for the cut on Yosef''s throat.


    As Clifford had always been very close with his sister, the mere thought of her having to be a


    widow enraged him to no end.


    Clifford flipped the safety of his firearm off so he could easily gun Donald down if he tried anything


    funny.


    Suddenly, Clifford''s partner, Gilbert Quimby, recalled something and whispered into his ear, “Captain


    Taggart, Joseph Moreno is the chief of our department. It''s possible that he might have some


    powerful connections.”


    Clifford had been consumed by anger at first, but he quickly calmed down after hearing what Gilbert


    said.


    As Joseph was his direct superior, it would be hard for him to exin himself if he ended up killing


    Donald.


    After hesitating for a bit, Clifford asked, “You know Chief Moreno? Who are you exactly?”


    “My name is Donald Campbell.”


    The looks on the police officers'' faces changed immediately after they heard that.


    Joseph had specifically briefed them about Donald during a meeting a few days ago, so they were


    all too familiar with his name.


    They were ordered to inform Joseph if they ever ran into Donald while responding to emergencies.


    As Clifford was not expecting to encounter Donald at all, he decided to have Donald wait while he


    gave Joseph a call to report the situation.


    Sure enough, Joseph scolded him angrily the moment he heard what happened. “Have you all lost


    your minds? The members of the United Hearts Society are nothing but trouble of the worst sort!


    Mr. Campbell is doing the city a favor by killing them. What, you guys n to arrest him?”


    “That''s not what we meant, Chief Moreno! I-I gave you a call as soon as I ran into him, didn''t I?”


    Clifford stammered nervously in response.


    “Release Mr. Campbell immediately! I''ll have you all locked up in prison if anything happens to him!”


    Back then, Donald would''ve attacked anyone who dared stop him, including those from the military.


    However, since the six big shots of Yaleview had decided to show him respect, Donald was willing


    to spare these police officers. He believed that Joseph would provide him with a satisfactory


    exnationter.


    When Clifford returned to the scene after ending the call, he no longer treated Donald like an


    enemy.


    “Upon checking, we''ve confirmed that these men from the United Hearts Society have barged in


    here with the intention of killing you, so you had no choice but to neutralize them in self-defense.


    What you did is perfectly legal and justified, so you are free to go, Mr. Campbell,” he said with a


    polite smile.


    Wird''s eyes went wide with shock and disbelief when he heard that.N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.
