Legend of Dragon Son-in-law

Chapter 463: Chapter 463 I’m Being Framed _1

The time for the evening party was drawing nearer, and entrepreneurs from Gonzalez City were gradually arriving at the Five-State International Tower.

Although there was still half an hour before the start of the cocktail party, basically everyone had already arrived.

Except for the host of this cocktail party, the owner of the Five-State International Tower, Itai Huntington.

As the chairman of the business alliance, Itai Huntington would definitely make the last entrance.

She had that privilege.

Just then, suddenly the sound of police sirens was heard outside.

“What’s going on?”

Someone with sharp ears noticed something was wrong the moment it happened.

“Maybe, they’ve encountered a fugitive?”

The entrepreneurs casually speculated, but no one took it seriously.

It’s common to hear police sirens in a big city, as other vehicles would automatically give way when the siren is on during the execution of official duties.

Everyone present was a high-profile entrepreneur, so no one was afraid, and thus no one made a fuss.

But the sound of the sirens was getting closer.

The sounds were getting louder, and it seemed that there was more than one vehicle!

“What’s happening? Is there any other building nearby?”

Someone sensed that something was amiss.

Itai Huntington had chosen a remote location, building the Five-State International Tower in the midst of New District.

This place was currently deserted, except for the solitary Five-State International, there were no other large buildings.

Clearly, the police cars were heading this way.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be passing through here.

“You guys, surely none of you have done something wrong?”

Everyone tensely watched, subconsciously thinking that someone among those present had done something.

But before they could figure anything out, armed police had entered the Five-State International and were shouting inside: “Everyone, stay where you are and squat down, don’t move!”

“What?”

“What’s happening?”

“Squat down quickly!”

Although everyone was caught off guard, they all instinctively obeyed the police officer’s command.

In less than five seconds, everyone had squatted down in unison.

“Who called the police?”

A police officer stepped forward, while the other officers looked around vigilantly.

“I did!”

Bran Cook raised his hands and slowly stood up from the crowd.

The moment he stood up, several officers approached him and thoroughly searched him.

After confirming he was not a threat, they nodded to the officer.

“Where’s the person?”

The officer looked at Bran Cook and asked in a serious tone.

He was on duty when he received the message that someone was attempting murder!

This was a serious matter!

And he would absolutely not allow such a heinous event to happen on his watch.

“There’s a man named Julius Reed who, just about twenty minutes ago, threatened my friend!”

Bran Cook pointed at Coby Marsh.

At this moment, Coby Marsh’s face was pale, still unable to recover from the shock.

It was the first time someone had thrown a dart at him, and it nearly cost him his life!

The more wealthy a person is, the more they fear death. Coby Marsh had countless assets and even maintained a bevy of mistresses outside—how could he bear to die?

He swallowed hard and, supported by two others, pointed in the direction Julius Reed had gone, accusingly saying, “Just now, a man named Julius Reed pointed a dart at me! Please, you must catch him and severely punish this scoundrel of society!”

Illegal possession of a concealed weapon, along with premeditated murder, was enough to put Julius Reed behind bars for life.

Then wouldn’t Quella Radcliffe conveniently fall under Bran Cook’s control?

Without Julius Reed causing trouble here, the position of general manager of the business alliance would surely be Bran Cook’s!

And even the position of Chairman Itai Huntington could be taken over by Bran Cook in a short time.

“Where is he?”

Upon hearing his subordinate’s report, the officer’s nerves immediately tensed!

If the other party threw a cold dart, they were completely unprepared!

“What is this about?”

Just as everyone was on edge, Julius Reed walked out of the restroom in the Five-state International building.

“It’s… it’s him!”

Coby Marsh was so scared that he stuttered, instinctively backing away.

No one isn’t afraid of death, especially when it’s such an unworthy death!

“Freeze, don’t move!”

Fully armed officers immediately raised their guns, aiming at Julius Reed!

“Quick! Catch him!”

Coby Marsh shouted excitedly!

This was his best opportunity for revenge!

That bastard, dare to knock out his front teeth with a punch!

It was the first time Coby Marsh had ever suffered such a humiliating disgrace since he’d been out!

Now, with dozens of police officers on the scene, Julius Reed had no way to escape!

The thought of this arrogant young man soon spending his life behind bars gave him an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

“Stand still, squat down, hands on your head!”

Following the commands, several officers, with guns at the ready, carefully moved forward.

The rest aimed precisely from behind, and two dart throwers were targeting Julius Reed’s head.

It seemed that any slight rustling could prompt them to send darts flying.

“Once you’re in there eating prison food, I’ll take care of your wife for you!” Bran Cook thought bitterly to himself.

As a favored son of heaven, supported by countless people, he lived in a world where he was constantly the center of attention.

But this man’s appearance had ruined him!

He was left with a tarnished reputation and a deeply trampled dignity!

“Spend the rest of your life there!” he took a deep breath; as his great revenge was about to be realized, he couldn’t help trembling.

Bran Cook had not expected this day to come so soon – and so decisively!

Julius Reed had nearly destroyed himself in the most idiotic way imaginable!

He didn’t even need Bran Cook and the others to lift a finger; he had played himself to death.

Foolish!

“Officer, what is all this about?”

Julius Reed squatted down, asking with confusion.

“Julius Reed! Stop playing dumb! You’ve hidden a box of secret weapons, and even attempted to murder me! Now, the law is about to punish you!” Coby Marsh shouted from afar.

With so many guns behind him, he was brimming with confidence!

Gone was the earlier image of being scared out of his wits.

“Boss Marsh, what nonsense are you spouting?”

Julius Reed frowned, “This is a frame-up! This is slander! Officer, I request an investigation into him!”

“Worry about yourself first!”

The officer frowned and signaled his men to search Julius Reed.

“Don’t move! Keep steady!”

Several officers felt all over Julius Reed, yet they found nothing.

Unconvinced, they searched him again, even bringing various instruments to bear, still to no avail.

“I have been wronged!”

Julius Reed yelled furiously!
