When Arthur and the others arrived downstairs, the policemen were already out of their cars.
Leading them was a middle-aged man, wearing a brown uniform with a cap on his head.
He also held a baton and had a pistol strapped to his waist.
Seeing that man, Jimmy, people looked at each other, their faces slightly worried. Even Parker who was still standing there knitted his eyebrows.
The reporters who were busy reporting on the agarwood stopped and whispered to each other.
However, because of Arthur's order, the mercenaries guarding the door of the store let the policemen in, there were about twenty of them, which was too many for just a store.
Erick who was standing outside followed Jimmy, they chatted and Jimmy immediately looked surprised.
When he arrived inside the store, he immediately looked around, seeing the agarwood that hadn't been bought yet.
At the same time, his nose twitched, as if he was trying to inhale something.
"How is that possible?" he said spontaneously.
"Uncle, you're here to make an investigation," Erick whispered to him, worried that he had forgotten in his astonishment.
"Ehm!" Jimmy cleared his throat softly after hearing his words.
Then, he looked at Amanda who approached them.
"Is there something you need, Mr. Police?" asked Amanda, immediately showing a cynical attitude towards him.
Jimmy was a bit uncomfortable, especially since he was receiving a lot of stares.
However, as a policeman, he was used to getting protests or curses from the public. He could still stand calmly even if there were a thousand people looking at him with hatred.
"A citizen reported that there were illegal goods here," he told Amanda. "You know, we Europeans respect other countries, and we won't allow anything into Europe if it's banned from export in the country of origin."
"Oh!" Amanda opened her mouth slightly.
"If that's your goal, you seem to have come to the wrong place," Amanda replied.
"But I saw it here." Jimmy stared at the nearby agarwood.
"No, it's the result of our own cultivation." Amanda shook her head.
"That's just your claim, you have to prove it or we do an investigation."
"Ehmm!" Suddenly, Parker approached and cleared his throat.
When he saw the old man, Jimmy was a little surprised, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Parker, you're here too, what a coincidence."
"Jimmy, a police chief like you going directly to investigate a store, don't you have subordinates who can be ordered around, doesn't our Vera Police have more than 30,000 members?" said Parker.
His words instantly made Jimmy's ears twitch.
When a conglomerate spoke, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
However, that didn't mean he was going to back down. Although Parker was rich, he was not his superior.
He replied, "yeah, sometimes a leader needs to set an example once in a while, I believe this is a good thing."
One doesn't need eagle eyes to see the hypocrisy on his face.
Amanda couldn't help but be annoyed, especially when she saw the smirk on Erick's face.
However, before she could say anything, there was a sudden commotion among the reporters who were holding their cell phones.
"This, this!" One by one, they opened their mouths wide-eyed.
This confused people because of their excessive shock. And because they were journalists, people guessed that they had found something astonishing.
While they were wondering, the reporters suddenly looked at Erick, surprising the latter.
"What?" The man was startled because he suddenly felt a bad premonition.
One of the reporters then pointed a finger at him.
"Y-you catch a lot of protected animals and sell them illegally in Europe," the reporter said.
Parker, Old Gordon, Jimmy the Chief of Police raised an eyebrow at that.
Right after that, another reporter, a woman pointed her cell phone screen at Erick.
"You've also been doing drugs."
Erick, "..."
This time, his face froze as he saw his own drug-using figure on the phone screen.
When people saw that, they opened their mouths with an expression of disbelief.
pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ "Wait, you also sold some military-owned equipment to a mercenary group." Another reporter added.
There were now three major cases, each of which could land him in jail for a long time.
Erick's skin quickly turned deathly pale until his breathing stopped.
"Looks like you found a big fish, Mr. Police... I'm sure it's enough to get you promoted." Amanda said, looking at Jimmy like she wanted to laugh at him.
Of course, the police chief was flustered now. Even if he had a lot of experience, this was also his first time.
While he was unable to say anything, one of the policemen following him suddenly pulled out handcuffs while shouting at Erick. "You vile criminal, with so many crimes committed by you, you still dare to approach us, police!"
After saying that, he jumped at Erick and pushed him to the ground. He then flipped the man over before cuffing each of his hands.
Erick was also too shocked, so he was unable to react as the policeman made his move.
"Chief, let's bring this vile creature to justice," the policeman said to Jimmy.
He looked really angry, so he probably didn't know much about Jimmy and Erick's relationship. All he knew was that Erick was someone who had committed a serious crime and needed to be imprisoned immediately.
However, it was also impossible for Jimmy to do anything to save Erick now, and it would still be impossible later since the evidence was all over the internet.
With his status as the son of a general, his case was destined to be under constant scrutiny.
Jimmy instantly lost his mood for the agarwood in the store. He waved his hand at the policemen, telling them to take Erick to the station.
As he took a step, he looked at Amanda, wondering if this was a coincidence.
However, Erick wasn't looking at Amanda, he was looking at Arthur who was standing quite far away.
Seeing that the man was also looking at him, Erick's eyes couldn't help but tremble.
He had always been convinced that Arthur was strange and hiding something.
Today, he even wanted to take action to see what he could actually do.
However, he was just about to do something and the evidence of his crimes suddenly appeared on the internet.
