Chapter 201: Chapter 201 - Framed
As soon as the words fell, the large screen on the wall slowly displayed the scene from that day.
On the screen, Caldwell was bowing down low and even leading others to slander Woods Walters.
Seeing the content on the screen, Woods Walters excitedly stood up and said, "Caldwell, what else do you have to say now!"
Caldwell’s face looked a bit ugly, as he had never expected that I would leave surveillance in this living room!
"Mr. Raymond, I admit that I was wrong that day." Caldwell, with a shift in his eyes, quickly conceded.
He laughed awkwardly, "Mr. Raymond, I had no choice that day. Conrad Schroeder was so terrifying that I had to protect my own life, right?"
I sneered, "I understand protecting your life, but wanting to use Conrad Schroeder’s hand to get rid of Woods Walters, sorry, I can’t tolerate that."
Caldwell didn’t panic because in his impression, I was a person who was very easy to talk to.
So, Caldwell grinned and said, "Mr. Raymond, don’t be too calculative, I know I was wrong, I am willing to compensate Woods Walters! What do you think?"
"Compensation?" My face turned cold. "Caldwell, you betray your own people, causing Kenneth to lose his legs, can a simple compensation solve it?"
"So what else do you want?" Caldwell muttered.
"The matter has already happened, it’s already good that I can compensate."
"Besides, these people are now under my command. Without us working for you, you won’t be making money either..."
It was obvious that Caldwell didn’t even take me seriously!
His attitude towards Conrad Schroeder and me was completely different!
Even if I defeated Conrad Schroeder, in Caldwell’s eyes, my deterrence was far less than Conrad Schroeder’s!
"Picking a fight with me?" I narrowed my eyes.
I sneered, "Seems like I really shouldn’t be too kind to you guys sometimes."
As soon as the words fell, I raised my finger, and a violent Qi Jin directly shattered Caldwell’s kneecaps!
Caldwell suddenly "plop" kneeled on the ground!
"Now I understand a principle, for people like you, I can only make you fear me." I slowly stood up, step by step, walking towards Caldwell.
Caldwell’s face looked a bit ugly. He said in horror, "You... what do you want to do!"
"If I don’t kill you now, who will submit to me in the future?" My voice was filled with a rolling murderous spirit!
For a moment, Caldwell’s face turned pale with fright!
He quickly looked at the others and shouted urgently, "You...you guys, please plead for me..."
But these people were originally fickle, so who would plead for Caldwell?
"Mr. Raymond, I know I was wrong, I... I won’t dare to do it again in the future, please spare my life..." Caldwell’s body trembled, his voice filled with fear.
I sneered, "If you knew what would happen today, why bother in the first place."
As soon as the words fell, I raised my hand and flicked it towards Caldwell’s head!
Just at the critical moment, the door outside was suddenly pushed open!
Several official patrolmen walked in!
Leading the way was a man with a square face, who shouted coldly, "Mason Raymond, you’re under arrest!"
My eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Under arrest?
"Who are you?" I asked with a frown.
The other party sneered, "I am from Chuzzle Province Patrol Bureau. My name is Freddie Abel."
"Freddie Abel?" Woods Walters’s face changed.
He quickly said, "Mr. Raymond, this Freddie Abel is from Conrad Schroeder’s camp!"
My face instantly darkened.
I never expected that after losing to me, Conrad Schroeder would resort to this method!
"Take him away!" Freddie Abel waved his hand, and several people rushed towards me.
"What do you want to do!" Woods Walters shouted in a hurry.
Freddie Abel asked coldly, "What, Mason Raymond, do you want to go against the authorities!"
My eyebrows tightened.
Going against the authorities was something that absolutely could not be done.
In this era, no matter who it is, one cannot go against the authorities.
"Woods Walters, back down." I waved my hand.
"Mr. Raymond..." Woods Walters seemed anxious but helpless.
I looked at Freddie Abel and said solemnly, "I’ll go with you."
Freddie Abel snorted, "That’s more like it!"
Afterward, several people walked up to my side.
Their expressions seemed tense, as the man in front of them had won against Conrad Schroeder; it was impossible for them not to be nervous.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, I was taken into the car.
——
"Damn it, it scared the hell out of me." Caldwell gasped, only feeling chills running down his back.
"I knew Conrad Schroeder wouldn’t let Mason Raymond off. You still want to kill me? Dream on!" Caldwell sneered.
Woods Walters glared at Caldwell and scolded loudly, "Caldwell, haven’t the previous events taught you a lesson!"
"Lesson?" Caldwell laughed mockingly.
"Don’t you think Mason Raymond can still get out this time? Let me tell you, the Schroeder Family has been dominating Chuzzle for many years; their connections are beyond your imagination!"
"This time, Mason Raymond will definitely die inside!"
Caldwell’s words made Woods Walters’s face look a bit ugly.
Yes, the Schroeder Family had been in Chuzzle for so many years, and their connections had long been intertwined; it was too difficult to touch them.
"As for you, Woods Walters, without Mason Raymond’s protection, what do you count as? Just go back to being your gangster!" Caldwell laughed coldly.
Subsequently, he looked at the driver and shouted, "Take me to the hospital!"
——
After I got into the car, they headed towards Shiglance City.
"Mr. Abel, I would like to know what law I have broken?" I asked.
Freddie Abel glanced at me and sneered, "You don’t know what law you broke? Isn’t it you who fought and killed? This alone is enough to take your life!"
My eyebrows tightened.
If I had to say it, what Freddie Abel said wasn’t exactly wrong.
I did indeed kill someone, such as that overseas Grandmaster;
I had also fought, such as injuring Bernard Colton, Tristin Schroeder, and others.
But... for the martial artists’ contests, they usually turned a blind eye.
As for the overseas Grandmaster, the news at that time was indeed full of praise for me!
Most importantly, they had no evidence!
"Do you think we have no evidence?" Freddie Abel seemed to have guessed my thoughts.
He took out a stack of documents and sneered, "These are all the evidence of your crimes, take a look yourself!"
I took a look after receiving the documents. Inside there were dense records of murder cases.
But these were not done by me at all! I had never even heard of them!
"Are you trying to frame me?" I said coldly.
Freddie Abel snorted coldly, "So what if we are, and what if we aren’t? Mason Raymond, do you think you can become a dragon after defeating Conrad Schroeder? Let me tell you, impossible!"
My face flashed with indignation.
I glared at Freddie Abel and said, "You are slandering me, the criminal is you!"
