The six people stopped what they were doing, and the person who started the fighta long–haired young man in his late twenties with slanted eyes sneered, “Kiddo, mind your own business!”

William scoffed in response, “The criminal investigation team is nearby. Do you want me to call them over?”

The others were shocked at his words, as it was the norm that criminals were naturally afraid of the authorities. So, they did not want to cause a commotion that would attract the officers over. However, they did not believe William’s words. Therefore, the long–haired young man lit a cigarette and sauntered toward him slowly.

William did not want to start a fight, nor did he want to be involved in one, so he called Bradley. Bradley was indeed working nearby, and his people had not left the scene yet. Thus, he immediately brought over a dozen people when he heard that William was in trouble.

The few lackeys were surprised to see William actually dialing for what they assumed was the authorities. The long–haired young man sneered as he taunted, “So what? I’m not the least bit frightened that you know someone from the criminal investigation team at all because my buddy is the deputy captain of the Martial Patrol Brigade. He’ll come if I call him too.” He even faked a call as he spoke.

William ignored the man as he went over to help Micah up and looked the poor man over. It seemed that Micah had two broken ribs and a fractured pinky finger, William immediately announced, Three fractures constitute minor injuries. There were six of you in the fight, so all of you are likely to be sentenced to two or three years in prison” William had been in prison before, so he was very familiar with things like this and made a relatively accurate judgment right there and then.

The group of lackeys felt that luck wouldn’t be on their side if they didn’t chase him away. So, one of them. immediately shouted, “F*ck off, it’s none of your business!”

Slap.

In a blink of an eye, William knocked one of them to the ground with just a powerful slap. His attack was forceful but not enough to cause injury, and the rest were surprised at his speed.

Micah quickly held William back and advised, “William, don’t use violence!” He knew that William had just been released from prison and did not want him to get into trouble again.

The lackeys dared not approach William, nor were they willing to leave the scene. Fortunately, Bradley arrived shortly afterward. He asked William a few questions and immediately instructed, “Take them into custody!”

“How dare you?!” The long–haired man’s eyes narrowed. “My buddy is the deputy captain of the Martial Patrol Brigade. Don’t you dare detain me.”

The Patrol Brigade was a semi–military and semi–police unit that specialized in dealing with powerful bandits, terrorists, and emergencies. Indeed, the deputy captain held a considerable amount of power, so Bradley hesitated for a moment Nonetheless, the evidence was clear. These six people had caused minor injuries to the victim, which constituted a criminal offense, so he had the authority to arrest them.

He snorted derisively, “Well, even the chief of the Brigade won’t be able to save you. You’ve violated the law. Cuff ‘em!” A bunch of officers rushed forward and handcuffed all six men.

Bradley chuckled and turned in William “Mr Barmunu’re a hrave and responsible citizen You’ve
