After getting out of their cars, the police officers quickly drew their guns. “Freeze! Put your hands up!” With the barrel of a gun pointed right at her. Janessa could not help trembling uncontrollably. She dared not resist and promptly raised her hands obediently.

“We received a report a while ago alleging that you guys were involved in a fight here. Please cooperate with our investigation,” the lead police officer stated. He gestured to the other officers beside him, who immediately stepped forward and proceeded to open the trunks of all the black vehicles at the scene.

“Sir, there are numerous weapons here, likely used by them in fights,” a police officer reported, looking toward the lead officer.

The officer immediately strode over to investigate. Sure enough, he saw that one of the trunks was filled with an array of weapons of varying lengths. Some of them still bore remnants of dried blood that had not been wiped clean.

“Sir, there are also some in the back of this car,” another police officer called out.

It appears that these people are not first–time brawlers, but rather habitual offenders. With that thought in mind, the lead police officer promptly instructed, “Arrest all of them and seize these vehicles. Bring everyone back to the station for questioning.”

“Yes, sir.”

Before long, the entire group including Janessa and Javier were swiftly handcuffed by the police and escorted into the police cars.

Meanwhile, Josiah was standing by the second–floor window with an exceptionally bright smile after witnessing the spectacle. “Now, this is going to be fun.”

“To think that they actually dared to carry dangerous weapons in their vehicles. They really brought trouble on themselves,” Tristan piped up with a smug grin.

Madelyn was quite pleased with the outcome. What is the saying for such a situation again? Going for wool and coming back shorn, isn’t it? Janessa, just savor the feeling of shooting yourself in the foot.

After some time, she chuckled and said, “It’s getting late. Shall we have another drink? We didn’t eat enough earlier.”

Josiah and Tristan had no objections, and Jillian also nodded in agreement. The group ordered some food and drinks at the cafe. They chatted away and ate, and the afternoon drifted–by just like that.
