Chapter 470 Poor Jonathan


Yosef introduced himself with a smile. "Mr. Sullivan, I'm Yosef Finch."

The police chief, Carson Sullivan, frowned, clearly trying to remember who he was. "Finch?" he mused.

Seeing Carson still not making the connection, Yosef helped him out, which he rarely did. "About the case you took today involving Jack..."

Recognition finally dawned on Carson. "Ah, yes. The family member. How may I be of assistance?" he asked politely.

Yosef attempted once more to invite Carson to dinner that evening, only to be swiftly declined. Left with no alternative, he initiated a conversation outside the police station.

He began, "Regarding Jack's case, while it should be thoroughly investigated, he's always been well-behaved and couldn't possibly have committed those crimes. Plus, he's injured. Is it possible to release him on bail for recovery? As for the rest..." He planned to smooth over the situation once things calmed down. However, Carson only sighed in response.

"I empathize with family members standing by their loved ones, but facts are unyielding, and the law is absolute.

"Even ancient kings were subject to the same justice as commoners. As a public servant in our modern society, I must enforce the law impartially.

"Mr. Finch, your son's transgressions are quite severe, so, unfortunately, bail isn't an option." He remained resolute, offering no opportunity for negotiation.

Yosef's displeasure grew. "Mr. Sullivan, you may not know me, but you should know the Finch family, right?"

Carson paused briefly before a smile spread across his face. "Of course, I'm aware."

He was not only familiar with the Finch family but also with Yosef himself. After all, it was nearly impossible to find someone unfamiliar with the prominent Finch family in Regalia. "Doesn't the thought of offending the Finch family concern you?" Yosef's voice grew cold. He decided to apply pressure since Carson seemed unresponsive to subtlety.

However, Yosef had severely underestimated the character of the man before him. Or perhaps his understanding paled in comparison to Carson's knowledge.

The threat was evident, and Carson naturally picked up on it. However, he maintained his calm demeanor.

"I wouldn't dare to offend the Finch family, which is precisely why I must conduct a thorough investigation into your son's case," he said.
