Chapter 1111
Chapter 1111 Worthy to Be Human
The mayor, who was less than 30 years old, was meant for greater things in the next decade or so.
Pierce suspected the mayor was Kaze.
He had to stop his mind from going down the rabbit hole.
It was at that moment he decided not to make things difficult for Kaze anymore.
The last thing he wanted was to be caught in the crossfire.
Pierce could get himself killed for clashing with the new mayor.
As sweat rolled off his forehead, Pierce stole a glance at Kaze, who kept a blank face, and put away his gun like nothing ever happened.
He then turned around and said, "Mr. Hicks, I need to attend to an emergency now. I believe you are more than capable of handling the situation."
All Pierce wanted was to stay on the sidelines without offending either party.
He could not afford to get involved in a conflict of this level.
*An emergency?"
Lyon scowled and said in a chilling voice, "What could be more urgent than working for Mr. Glitter?
"Don't you want to be the police chief, Pierce? Do you want to work for Don for the rest of your life?"
Pierce glanced at Kaze, feeling put between a rock and a hard place.
He wanted to be the police chief.
However, if Kaze was the new mayor, Pierce would risk losing his position as the police chief and his career.
Still, Pierce did not cut ties with the Glitters completely, at least not until he verified Kaze's identity.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
He thought about a prominent figure living around the area. Maybe he could get in touch with the individual to run into Kaze and verify his identity.
"Mr. Hicks, it's not that I'm washing my hands of Mr. Glitter, but I really have an emergency. I'm sorry. I will come back to Mr. Glitter on this and make a proper apology."
That was if Leigh lived to tell the tale. Of course, Pierce kept that thought to himself.
Pierce wanted to take off with his men.
*Hang on."
Kaze suddenly uttered, "Who said you can leave?"
"Can I help you, Mr. Lee?"
Pierce turned around stiffly. Kaze's attitude was his cue not to make any reckless move.
Kaze said callously, "You have not answered my question. Why should you point the gun at the good guys?"
*L..."
Pierce was at a loss for words.
"You can't answer a simple question. Are you even the deputy chief?"
Kaze took strides ahead and slapped Pierce to the ground.
Everybody was dumbfounded.
Kaze attacked the deputy chief of police.
He was so brazen.
"Pow!"
That was not the end of the matter. Kaze pulled another punch on Pierce, and the latter spat out blood.
"Do you think you deserve to be the police chief? Answer me!"
"I don't!"
Still, Kaze's slap came down hard on him.
Pierce took the hit without dodging.
"Do you think you live up to your badge and commitment to your colleagues?
"Do you think you are worthy to be human?"
Kaze kept asking while slapping Pierce in the face over and again.
*I'm sorry, Mr. Lee. I was wrong!"
Pierce endured the beating.
With his suspicion that Kaze was the new mayor getting stronger, Pierce dared not put up a fight.
"Do you think an apology will cut it?" Kaze asked curtly, his eyes glistening savagely.
If someone else was in Kaze's shoes, Pierce would have shot him a long time ago.
Kaze could not stand the scum who abused their power.
*Thump!"
Pierce fell to his knees and gritted his teeth before saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lee. I recognize the error of my ways."
