Peter continued to struggle with resentment, but he still had no idea what was going on. Damn it! This person is obviously here on my father’s orders. Why did they arrest me instead? That jerk over there is so arrogant. Can’t she see it? Just as Serene was about to leave, a figure hurried to them from behind. Upon seeing that Peter was being shoved into the police car, a flicker of anger swept past his eyes. “Stop it, guys. Why are you arresting people for no apparent reason? What’s going on? I’m Brian Hughes, the deputy director of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry in Brentwood City, and this is my son. May I know what his offense is?” Brian was furious at this point. In the morning, he merely wanted to rush to obtain the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup because he wanted to help his son out in that way. Never did he expect that his son would be arrested instead. How dare they! If it delayed his time in purchasing the Hundred Tonics Nourishing Soup, his anger would not be abated by simply one or two people. “He threatened innocent civilians and beat them up.” After hearing Brian’s title, Serene was quite shocked, but she replied in the same manner due to her temperament. “You are the police. How do you carry out your job? Obviously, my son is the one who called you here, yet you’re arresting him instead? This is too unreasonable!” Brian’s face was distorted with anger as he shook his sleeves. Upon hearing his words, a flicker of confusion swept past Serene’s eyes. This is weird. The director definitely would not arrest Christopher—that jerk. What is going on here? The people who stirred up trouble were clearly Christopher and Peter! Deep in her thoughts, she looked at both of them solemnly. One minute later, she seemed to have thought about something and it led her expression to immediately change. Could it be that Christopher provoked Peter and the latter called the police? These two jerks! What should I do now? If I bring both of them back, the director would scold me; if not, Brian will definitely be annoyed. I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place now. After shooting a glare at Christopher, Serene took a step forward with her long legs and quickly walked to a corner to call Jefferey. At this moment, Christopher also leaned against the car with his arms crossed in front of him as he imitated Peter. He also looked at the father and son—Peter and Brian—as he shrugged to express his exasperation. On the other hand, Brian’s face darkened. This man who dared to provoke my son actually has the nerve to act so nonchalantly after hearing my position. He’s not respecting me at all! He coldly looked at Christopher’s face before walking to him. “Boy, I advise you to be obedient and admit that you are at fault here. Otherwise, you can’t deal with the consequences.” Chrisotopher froze for a moment while looking at Brian’s darkened face. However, he quickly gave a cold laugh. “Your title is quite useful indeed. Unfortunately, it might not extend its usefulness to me.” “In that case, just you wait. I will make you regret your words,” Brian responded in a frosty manner. The sullenness on his face was so heavy that it could almost materialize. Christopher merely swept a glance at him. He’s just the deputy director of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry in Brentwood City—and not a minister on a national level. I don’t believe that he can do anything he wants just because of that title. When Jefferey arrives, we will have a nice drama later. A few minutes after Serene finished her call, she glared at Christopher again before she lowered her airs and spoke respectfully to Brian, “Deputy Director Hughes, the director of our police station is arriving soon.”“Ask him to quickly come over. I want to ask him what the hell is going on!” Brian snorted as he coldly addressed Serene. She looked at him in helplessness. However, after remembering that the reason for today’s incident was all because of Christopher, she felt angry yet there was nowhere to vent her frustrations. Why did I keep running into him yesterday and today? She gritted her teeth, but her aloof face looked rather cute at that moment. In 10 minutes or so, Jefferey arrived in his special car. As soon as he exited the car, his gaze immediately swept past Christopher and Brian. In an instant, his expression had a one-eighty change. With a bitter expression on his face, he kind of understood the situation. The hell? Both of them are not people whom I can easily antagonize! As soon as Brian saw Jefferey, he asked angrily, “You are the director of the police branch in the southwest region. Are you going to follow Jake's ways to simply arrest people? Why didn’t you catch him then? You have to give me an explanation!” With a conflicted expression on his face, Jefferey looked rather depressed. He timidly walked to Brian and spoke into his ears, “Deputy Director Hughes, there’s a reason for this. Listen to me...”Initially, Brian did not care about what Jefferey wanted to say. When Brian heard the beginning of the narrative, he was slightly confused, but still heard the other guy out after snorting coldly. As time went by, his expression suddenly changed. By the time Jefferey was almost done with his explanation, Brian was almost behaving in a completely different manner. “You useless son! Your car was just slightly scratched. Did you have to treat other people this way? Apologize to him! Immediately!” he demanded furiously as he immediately slapped Peter. Smack! A palm print appeared clearly on Peter’s cheeks. Before he could even react, he froze and blankly stared at Brian without even being able to speak. Since I was young, he has never laid a hand on me. And he has slapped me today? “Dad, they are the ones who—” Unable to understand the reason, Peter immediately wanted to explain. Smack! Before he could even finish his sentence, Peter was slapped once again by his father. This slap was even harsher than the previous one. “I’m going to tell you one last time—apologize to Christopher and the driver!” Brian spoke with a darkened face due to his intense anger. Catching his cheeks, Peter felt the pain spreading around him and his body was trembling. No matter how dumb he was, he finally knew that he had antagonized someone whom he should not have. “I-I’m sorry! I was wrong!” he spoke with a tremor in his tone as he bowed to Christopher. Christopher shot a glance at the father and son without much changes in his facial expression. After saying ‘alright’, he did not utter another word. “Guys, take both Christopher and Peter back to the police station. As police, we must be just. We can’t play favorites here. Serene, why are you staring at us?” Jefferey solemnly spoke before he chastised Serene, who was stunned upon seeing the change of events. What the hell is going on? Just because Jefferey is here, things have changed like that? However, after hearing his words, joy immediately appeared on her face. She shot a vindictive glance at Christopher and turned his hands behind his back as she shoved him into the police car.
