Chapter 2624
It was rare for Zion to show his domineering side. When Nathan saw Zion assert dominance over Braydon, he turned to Braydon and looked at the latter with intrigue. I wonder if Braydon's regretting his decision now.
To his surprise, Braydon was completely fearless.
Braydon remained composed and even curled his lips upward into a mysterious smile before uttering something shocking. "If you don't like my work style and doubt my abilities, feel free to discuss my dismissal at the cab meeting tomorrow. I have no objections to that. However, if you want to fire me, you'll first have to be able to make it to the meeting tomorrow."
Everyone stared at him in shock. What? What does he mean?
Even Zion himself was shocked. He laughed. "That's ridiculous. What makes you think I won't be able to make it to the cab meeting tomorrow?" Braydon smiled, and then pulled out a warrant and unrolled it for Zion to see.
Braydon then read aloud the content written on the warrant as Zion stared at him in disbelief. "Zion Lucas, the Integrity Department's Special Investigation Unit has discovered that you're suspected to be involved in several cases of corruption. Additionally, we found out that your family has been accepting illegal gifts from other people. I've already reported my findings to Mr. Holmes, and Mr. Holmes has received the president's approval for your arrest. Please follow me to assist the investigation. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be recorded and served as evidence in court. You can choose to leave with us willingly, or I can ask my men to take you away by force. Which would you
prefer?"
Zion looked as though he had been struck by lightning. His body shook, and he almost fell.
Nathan and Hansel furrowed their eyebrows.
The people present had a shocked expression on their faces. So, the person Braydon is going to arrest today is Mr. Lucas!
When Zion saw Hansel's disappointed look, he returned to his senses and roared, "This is slander! I'm not involved in any corruption! You're trying to frame me, aren't you? Did
Erwin send you over to mess with me?"
Braydon uttered coldly, "I have proof of your crime, Zion. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here.”
Zion demanded in fury, "You have proof? Show me the so-called proof then!"
Braydon replied, "I will, but you need to follow us back to our unit first.
Only then will we show it to you. In fact, we'll even show it to the public, but you have to come with us now."
Zion's expression darkened as he stared at the warrant in Braydon's hand. He gritted his teeth. "Fine! I'll go with you, but there's no way I'm going to let you frame me."
Braydon smiled and ordered his men, "Cuff him and take him away!"
"Roger!" Sigurd pulled out a pair of shiny cuffs and walked toward Zion, ready to cuff the latter.
Hansel's expression changed again.
Nathan couldn't watch it anymore, and he uttered coldly, "Are the cuffs necessary?"
The inexperienced Sigurd was
fearless. He mimicked his older brother and acted all high and mighty as he glared at Nathan and bellowed, "You don't get to tell us
to arrest a suspect! All y
need
is take care of your own troop.
We aren't under your command."
The moment he finished his sentence, Colin appeared in a flash and raised his hand to slap him across the face.
Slap!
A red handprint appeared on Sigurd's swollen face.
Colin shouted, "Who do you think you are? How dare you speak like that in front of Chief Cross!"
Sigurd was both shocked and enraged. He held his swollen cheek, not daring to unleash his fury despite his urge to do so.
Braydon quickly jumped in and said, "Just do as Chief Cross said. No need to cuff him, since he's still just a suspect, not a criminal.”
He then left with his men and Zion.
When Braydon brought Zion out of the building, a bunch of reporters were waiting outside to take pictures of Zion, who had been arrested. It was probably an arrangement by Erwin.
Zion's face turned pale, as he realized Erwin wasn't playing around. That bast*rd's trying to finish me off once and for all!
Nathan watched a humiliated Zion being taken away as the reporters took pictures of the latter nonstop.
His expression turned cold as he turned to Hansel. “I think Erwin's going overboard this time, Mr. Windsor. He's scheming and using underhanded means. I don't like him."
Hansel sighed. "It seems that Zion can't beat Erwin."
"Even though Erwin appears to be a
gentleman, he's willing to do
anything to achieve his goal. He's noNôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
decent man. I don't think he's the best candidate to become the next president."
Hansel glanced at Nathan. “Zion will most probably lose to Erwin, while you are unwilling to participate in the election. There's nothing that can be done."
Nathan fell silent and went into deep thought.
