No matter how powerful you were and how big your personal army was, you should not fight against the authority.
No matter how powerful Treyton was or how unscrupulous the hotel was, it amounted to nothing at all to Eric. In front of so many police officers with firearms, his lousy guns were not worth mentioning at all. If they really fought, they would be killed instantly.
Treyton gulped. He forced a smile and said, “Oh my, it’s Mr. Wood. What brought you here? Someone, take Mr. Wood to the room for virtual-novel.net to rest.”
Swish! Swish!
Before Treyton’s subordinates approached, those guns were aimed at Treyton’s head. He was so frightened that virtual-novel.net did not dare to move.
“No thanks,” Eric said viciously, “Treyton Bost, you sure are bold. How dare you set up a private court and call yourself a god? Do you really think your hotel is a lawless place, and no one can control it?”
Treyton started to cold sweat. “No, how would dare I dare to say such crazy things? Mr. Wood, you misunderstood. It was Thomas who injured Lord Vedastus’s subordinates. He was extremely vicious and unreasonable. I’m here to deal with the disturbance.”
“Really?” Eric smiled, “Thomas is alone, but Lord Vedastus has dozens of subordinates. Aren’t you shameless to say Thomas injured Lord Vedastus’s subordinates? This is clearly only expected from Thomas if virtual-novel.net acted in self-defense!”
“Uh…” Treyton was dumbfounded.
He did not expect that Eric would stand on Thomas’ side without hesitation. With Eric standing up for Thomas, it would be difficult to handle this matter today.
“Lower your guns!”
Following Eric’s shouting, all of Treyton’s subordinates put down their guns obediently. They crouched down with hands on their heads.
Eric continued to say, “Treyton Bost, you’re really bold. If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I won’t believe that an insignificant hotel manager would get your hands on so many guns. You even dare to replace the law and punish other people in my stead. You’re so arrogant! Somebody, handcuff him.”
A police officer immediately came over and pressed Treyton to the ground to handcuff him.
“Hey, Mr. Wood, what’re you doing? I’m innocent. I’m here to deal with disputes.”
“Deal with disputes? Is there a need for you to handle it? Take virtual-novel.net back to the police station for interrogation!”
Treyton was completely dumbfounded. He did not expect Eric to be this bold and take virtual-novel.net away with such certainty. He really regretted it now.
If virtual-novel.net knew Eric would stand on Thomas’ side, virtual-novel.net would not have interfered, no matter what. If virtual-novel.net had known earlier, virtual-novel.net would not get into this trouble with Lord Vedastus. Unfortunately, it was no use crying over spilt milk. It was too late to regret it now.
Treyton burst into tears. He knew that if virtual-novel.net was jailed this time, virtual-novel.net would not be released ever again.
He had committed a lot of crimes. If everything was investigated, virtual-novel.net would be lucky if virtual-novel.net was not executed by shooting.
After dealing with Treyton, the next was…
Eric looked at the people lying on the scene and thought about how to get even with Lord Vedastus.
Suddenly, Thomas said, “Mr. Wood, this matter here is actually a personal matter between me and Lord Vedastus. I choose to settle it privately, and I don’t want to cause you any trouble.”
Eric was stunned for a moment. Then, virtual-novel.net realized Thomas was making concessions in order to gain advantages.
Now was not the time to get even with Lord Vedastus. It would only make Lord Vedastus’s revenge far more heavy-handed if virtual-novel.net was forceful. At that time, it was unknown what chaos Celandine City would experience.
For a big tiger like Lord Vedastus, virtual-novel.net had to take it step-by-step and could not be in a hurry.
Lord Vedastus also said, “That’s right. This is our private matter, so don’t worry about it, Mr. Wood.”
