Upon hearing L’s words, Hamza’s eyes flickered for a moment. However, he shook his head the next second and said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about! I’m sorry, but I’m just following the rules. The nature of this ident and attack is extremely serious.”


    Frederick, on the other hand, became more arrogant. Heughed loudly and looked smugly at L, saying, “L, it seems you know about my background now, don’t you? How does it feel? Regretting offending me in the past? Listen carefully, both you and Miranda, today, I am going to ruin you. That’s right, I am Mrs. Brooks’ adopted son, and this identity is enough for me to control you two within Slocmore. Officer Brooks, arrest them! If they have the guts, let them resist! Tsk tsk…”


    As his words fell, Hamza nodded and signaled to his subordinates once again.


    However, at that moment, a voice full of curses suddenly rang out. “You want to arrest people just like that? Damn it, he’s just a godson. Frederick, have you gone mad?”


    Looking in the direction of the voice, a young man walked briskly with a group of people beside him. He had an imposing presence and an air of grandeur.


    “Stephen?”


    Seeing this young man, Hamza was momentarily stunned, his face showing surprise. “Cousin, is that you? How… did youe here?”


    Frederick was also taken aback, but his expression quickly froze. He wore a ttering smile on his face and said, “Mr. Brooks…”


    “Oh, isn’t this Mr. Brooks?”


    Many business people who knew Stephen in the scene greeted him one after another.


    At this time, Stephen ignored the others and even disregarded Frederick’s attempts to please him. He walked quickly towards L and Miranda.


    “L, Miranda, sorry to keep you waiting. I hope I’m not toote.”


    Buzz…


    As soon as he said these words, the scene instantly erupted in amotion.


    What’s going on?


    The eldest son of the Brooks family was being so polite to L and Miranda?


    “It’s alright, you came just in time, hehe…”


    L waved his hand, giving a faint smile.


    The next moment, he pointed at Frederick and asked Stephen, “Stephen, I heard that this person is your mother’s adopted son? Your adopted brother?”This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    As his words fell, Stephen’s face darkened, and he looked coldly at Frederick.


    “Fuck! Who does he think he is? He dares to use my mother and the Brooks family’s name to deal with L? He’s asking for death!”


    With these words, Stephen swiftly walked towards Frederick and pped him directly in the face.


    “You son of a bitch! Are you blind? You think you can use my mother and the Brooks family’s name to go against L? You’re fucking delusional!”


    The p caused Frederick to stumble backward. Even Hamza, who was standing next to him, couldn’t help but shudder, his face changing unpredictably.


    “Stephen, what are you…”


    Stephen gave Hamza a disdainful nce. “Hamza, you want to arrest my sister-inw and L? You suspect them of being connected to a terrorist organization? Heh, does that mean you should also arrest me and investigate me since I have a close rtionship with L?”


    “That… No! There’s nothing like that. We just need Miranda to go back and give a statement about what happened. Oh, and Miss Beckman too. But considering the dangerous situation they were in, I suppose recording their statements at the hospital would be fine.”


    Hamza’s heart skipped a beat, and he directly expressed his position.


    Seeing Stephen’s attitude, how could he not know what to do? A godson couldn’tpare to a biological son. In front of Stephen, Frederick was nothing.


    At this moment, Frederick covered his face and a trace of resentment and unwillingness shed deep in his eyes. The next moment, he pretended to be innocent and puzzled as he asked, “Stephen, what are you… doing? What’s your rtionship with L and Miranda?”


    Stephen snorted and ignored him, simply pointing at him and saying to the person next to him, “Take him away and stop embarrassing us here!”


    As soon as he finished speaking, Stephen’s men brought Frederick down and dragged him away.


    In the eyes of outsiders, Frederick, as Mrs. Brooks’ adopted son, might have been extremely glorious.


    But in front of Stephen, this guy was no different from a stray dog.


    Stephen had long been displeased with his mother for taking in such a son and he couldn’t stand Frederick. He just couldn’t be bothered to deal with him.


    But this time, he had crossed the line with L. How could Stephen let him off?


    He had made up his mind to go back and sever the rtionship between his mother and Frederick.


    Seeing the twists and turns of the situation, everyone present was silent and felt sorry for Frederick.


    No one could have expected that Frederick, who had been so proud just a second ago, would end up in such a miserable state.


    And Miranda and L, who were originally seen as having no background or influence in Slocmore, turned out to be guests of honor in the Brooks family.


    Not only that, after this incident, the Beckman family definitely owed this couple a favor.


    Some people secretly noted down Miranda’s name and were already calcting whether they should actively seek cooperation with her.


    …


    Late at night!


    In a monitoring room of the department where Hamza was stationed…


    Everyone had watched the rey of the ident and attack.


    When Vaughn saw the scene where Miranda desperately protected his daughter, his face was filled with shame.


    “Ms. Lowe, Mr. Willis, I apologize once again for my previous words and actions!”


    “Ms. Lowe is my daughter’s savior.”


    “I can never repay the debt of saving a life! Although it may sound cliché, I have decided that from today onwards, all channels and resources of the Beckman’s Group can be shared with Lowe’s Pharmaceutical!”


    “At the same time, we will engage inprehensive cooperation with Lowe’s Pharmaceutical to express my gratitude and apology.”


    The richest man in Slocmore spoke solemnly.


    L waved his hand and said, “We can discuss these matterster.”


    Then he turned to Hamza and asked, “Officer Brooks, are the bodies of the four assants still here?”


    “What Officer Brooks? Mr. Willis, just call me Hamza!”


    “The bodies of the four assants are stored in the morgue of our forensic department.”


    Hamza replied politely.


    “Can you take me to see them?”


    L asked.


    Upon hearing this request, Hamza hesitated and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.


    Stephen, who was next to him, impatiently said, “What’s with the hesitation? If L wants to see them, just take him to see them!”


    “L is a highly respected figure in the military. Don’t you have the authority for this?”


    Stephen then turned to L and said, “L, you’re just too low-profile. You never reveal your identity wherever you go!”


    Upon hearing this, L chuckled and thought to himself that he had been reprimanded by Moises for “misusing” his identity before.


    Why would I bother?


    Upon hearing this, Hamza’s face suddenly froze, “Oh? Mr. Willis is a high-ranking military official? Then, of course, there’s no problem.”


    “Please follow me!”


    After a while…


    In the morgue of the forensic department, L saw the four bodies.


    A forensic doctor was present and wore an expression of deep astonishment as he said, “Based on the characteristics of the bodies, these four people had already been dead for a while. But ording to the testimonies of Ms. Lowe and Miss Beckman, they were able to drive four cars and cause this ident and attack. It’s simply… too bizarre.”


    L nodded withoutmenting, “They were manipted corpses controlled by dark magic.”


    Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn’t help but feel a chill.


    They felt that this had exceeded the realm of normal human understanding.


    “Damn it, who would do such a thing? They even tried to harm my sister-inw!”


    Stephen eximed angrily.


    Hamza also looked at L and tentatively asked, “Mr. Willis, do you know who performed this dark magic? Does Ms. Lowe have any enemies in Slocmore?”


    This kind of supernatural event beyond normal human understanding was beyond their ability to handle.


    “Hehe, perhaps we can find out something from Frederick’s mouth,” L said with a cold smile, implying a deeper meaning.


    Frederick had rushed to the hospital at the first opportunity to frame Miranda.


    He wasn’t present at the scene of the ident!


    It was impossible for Frederick to be unaware of something beforehand.
