"Why don't you look at the CCTV footage of the mall?" Jack questioned in a calm tone.
The moment that his voice fell, there was silence in the area. At the same time, Ruben who was the smartest amongst the group began thinking about it.
The police officer began observing both parties. He wanted to detect if there was any person that was going to act in a guilty manner.
After some thought, Ruben came into a conclusion. All this while, Jack had not even attacked. And for that reason, if they went to look at the CCTV footage, they would find out that it was Eugene who made the first move.
At the same time, although it was true that Jack had held Eugene's hand, there was no proof that he was actually holding it tightly. And when he 'pushed' Eugene to the side, that could be easily interpreted as him being scared of the attack that was about to land on him.
And since he was not the person who had landed the punch on Eugene, it could be said that he was the victim here. Well, when Ruben thought about it carefully, it was true that Jack and his girl were actually the victims.
"Officer, there's nothing going on here. Just forget about it, will you?" Ruben smiled as he looked at the officer. He didn't want this case to go further, because they were currently in another family's territory.
Their influence here was very limited. And as a result, it was going to be a very difficult task for them to get out of the police if this thing progressed further.
Eugene couldn't believe what he had just heard. This was actually the first time that he had seen Ruben trying to talk to a small police officer in such a respectful manner.
He was just about to retort him when suddenly Ruben whispered in his ears, "Young Master, our influence here is limited. So, we can simply forget about this for the moment, and deal with him later."
Upon hearing that, Eugene finally managed to suppress the anger that he was feeling. But all the same, he decided to look at the two that had caused him this pain, to make sure that he remembered them.
But the moment that his eyes landed on the lady, they widened in surprise and disbelief. At the same time, the anger that he had been trying to suppress all this while almost erupted.
"What the f*ck!" He couldn't help but shout a profanity. He could not believe that the lady that he was supposed to marry was actually out with another man.
He could accept this if it was just another beautiful lady with another man as her boyfriend. But, there was no way that he was going to agree to his marriage partner to be with another man. And, that man just happened to be more handsome than him.
And from the way that the two were acting so intimate, it was obvious that their relationship was not simple.
The officer on the other hand felt the chilling gaze that he was receiving from Ruben. Although it was true that Ruben was young, from the way that he was carrying himself, it was obvious that the background that he belonged to was not simple.
Even though it was true that he hated this kind of young master, there was nothing that the police officer could do. Although he wanted to follow up on the matter, he knew that these people would easily use their influence to make things difficult for him.
In the end, he could only suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, as he said, "Since there's no damage dealt on either of you, let this matter end here. And, you have to remember that street fights are prohibited by the law of the country. Those who break this rule will be arrested."
After he finished his words, he didn't continue staying there. He immediately decided to leave as he didn't want to continue facing the arrogant young master.
When Eugene heard the words that both parties had not been dealt damage to, he was about to burst in anger. How can it be that there was no damage to either parties when he was actually suffering from the blow that he had received previously?
Since the matter had already ended, Jack decided to let go. Although it was true that he was currently part of the military, he didn't want to continue wasting the time that he was supposed to spend with Celine on such a useless young master.
So, he wrapped his hand around Celine's waist, before the two of them began heading into the mall. They had not given up on the matter of shopping yet.
When Eugene saw that Jack was actually laying his hand on Celine, he was infuriated that he passed out.
Ruben hurriedly held him to prevent him from falling down. After that, they had no choice but to end the trip that they had decided to take out, and go back to their lodging area.
At the same time, after they got into the car, Ruben immediately contacted someone to begin investigating the two people. He himself didn't know about Celine's appearance.
And for that reason, he didn't know that the reason as to why Eugene was so angry at that moment was due to the fact that the girl that he was supposed to marry was actually out with another man.
Anyways, had he known about it, he would have thought to himself that this was actually karma. But still, he had to do the duties that were assigned to him properly.
He knew that the moment that Eugene was going to regain his consciousness, he was definitely going to ask for the information about the two of them. And for that reason, he had asked the subordinate that he had called to make sure that the information was brought within 2 hours.
Even though it was true that the Smith family didn't possess much influence in the capital city, but it was also true that they still possessed some influence. And for that reason, he didn't believe that it was going to be a difficult task to find out information about two ordinary people.
A few hours later, Eugene finally woke up. This was not the first time that he had lost his consciousness. Instead, he had always been doing something like this because, he was suffering from blood pressure and vasovagal syncope.
This was actually the main reason as to why Eugene was a hedonist. He believed that, since his life was not a sure bet, then he might as well enjoy it before it suddenly ended.
When he woke up, there was still anger in his eyes. Even though it was true that he had just regained his consciousness at this moment, he could still clearly remember the scene that had happened before he passed out.
"Ruben, tell me who that man is." Eugene stated after waking up. His anger was already flaring up, just waiting for the target.
Although Ruben was surprised that Eugene only wanted information on the man, he still went ahead and gave it.
"Young master, we have already done some investigations, but we have not managed to find much about him. We only know that he stays in Serenity residential area, but as for what he does or what family he belongs to, we aren't sure of, as of now."
"But still, there is an interaction between him and the heir of the Jesda family. And from the way that they look alike, I guess that that guy has some links to the Jesda family."
The Jesda family, the Smith family, and the Gravy family had already interacted several times. There were several events that were attended by the young generations of both families.
During those events, they had obviously interacted with each other. And for that reason, Ruben had come to know of Jonathan. He was the most promising candidate of the Jesda family.
During the moment that they had clashed with Jack, he had actually gotten a feeling that he might actually be the young master of the Jesda family. But even so, he wasn't afraid. After all, the two families were at the same level.
If Jonathan provoked them, then it was obvious that they had to retaliate. That was the reason as to why he did not prevent the bodyguards from attacking.
As for Eugene, that guy didn't even care about the other young masters. And for that reason, he didn't even remember who Jonathan was. In his mind, he could only remember about the beautiful young ladies, and that was all.
Just to make sure, Ruben had still carried out some investigation. And in the end, he came to a realization that there were actually two people that looked alike.
Although there was an interaction between Jack and Jonathan, he didn't find anything that could threaten them on Jack. Other than the relationship between him and Jonathan, Ruben didn't believe that Jack had any background.
As for looking alike, he could only say that this was a coincidence. After all, he didn't believe that the Jesda family was going to allow a member of their family to freely roam outside.
"If that is the case, then contact the people from the Gravy family that had come over. Tell them that I want to meet my fiancée." Eugene spoke after thinking for a moment.
At this moment, he had already begun thinking about getting Celine. He wasn't ready to start dealing with Jack just yet. He had to ensure that Celine was his first, before he could deal with Jack. After all, who knew what was going on between the two of them at this moment?
Just thinking of this fact immediately made Eugene angered that he nearly passed out again.
Ruben immediately acted. He could finally understand the anger that Eugene was experiencing. After all, he had just seen the person that he was supposed to marry, going out with another man, showing their affection publicly.
