Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 166

Before I drove off, I rolled down the window and listened carefully. Some chaotic noises were coming from a workshop not far away. It sounded pretty

Intense.

The next day, news about a ruckus happening at Zion Chemical Plant was all over

Thankfully, the cops showed up in time, or someone could’ve gotten seriously hurt. A worker had two of his ribs broken and internal bleeding. He’s already taken to the hospital.

The gang causing the trouble was led by Finn, a regular at the police station. It’s always the small fries that get the blame, and Finn always managed to dodge responsibility smoothly

I was watching the news when my dad came back to get some documents. He looked pissed.

He said angrily. “Those gangsters are a cancer in Rosemont, they’ve extorted so many companies. I’m going to nab that Finn before I retire, and make him serve some time That’ll be my contribution to the public!”

Dad, you can do it!” I encouraged him.

“You’ve seen the news, right? The place they caused trouble was Whitmore Co’s Zion Chemical Plant. That makes me happy. If Neil was there, I hope he got a beating too” My dad held grudges, hoping his ex–son–in–law would get a beating.

I shook my head. What I did last night might have been a mistake.

I shouldn’t have called the police, I should’ve let things get worse, causing trouble for Whitmore Co.

My dad shook his head, “But Neil seems to have grown a conscience these past two years. He’s been doing charity work all over and donated to three welfare homes. If something happened to him, that’d be a loss to Rosemont. It’s a tough choice.”

With that, he sighed and left.

I sat in the living room, laughing my head off. My dad’s gotten more talkative as he’s aged.

After he left, I continued watching the news.

The news mentioned a concerned citizen who called the police, and now Whitmore Co. is trying to find this person to give them a reward.

I am that concerned citizen, but I didn’t need a reward.
