Chapter 276 Everything I Say Goes
Chase's eyes darted around nervously when he heard Nathan's words.
But he immediately remembered Henry's identity, as well as the person backing Henry — King of the
South, Dip Turner — and was emboldened again.
He even ignored the fact that outsiders, Penny and Kylie were standing right there, and jeered at
Nathan. "Punishment? I'm the boss here, whatever I say goes. Do you believe me when I say that even
if I were to kill you right here right now, no one would even point a finger at me?"
"I don't believe you!"
Chase had just finished his sentence when a stern voice appeared behind them.
He and everyone else jumped up in surprise. They turned around and saw a large group of men
standing behind them.
The one who was speaking was the one standing in the forefront — a man with a square face and
wearing a black jacket.
Chase's eyes widened when he saw the square-faced man. "Deputy Chief Naas! What are you doing
here?" he gasped.
As it turned out, the man was none other than the second-in-command of the police bureau, Lincoln
Naas.
Lincoln was technically Chase's immediate supervisor. Chase had just bragged that he was the boss
there and whatever he said was the law, and yet here came Lincoln Naas.
Lincoln had led a team of fully armed men down to the detention center. He looked at the terrified-
looking Chase and smirked. "I never knew you were such a tough guy, insisting you have the power toContent protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
kill whoever you want? You sound even more capable than me!”
Chase broke out into a cold sweat as his voice trembled, "Deputy Chief Naas, that was just a joke I
made in the heat of the moment..."
Henry quickly jumped in and smiled at Lincoln. "Mr. Naas, I'm Henry Lancaster
from Alberesque."
Henry reached his hand out as he introduced himself, wanting to shake hands with Lincoln.
Both of them worked within the same system and rank-wise they were technically equals.
But because Henry was from the districtlevel whereas Lincoln Naas worked on a local-level, he
naturally felt that he was superior to Lincoln and that Lincoln should be respectful to him.
But what he didn't expect was how Lincoln never even spared him a look. In fact, he just walked right
past him and headed towards Nathan. "Mr. Cross, I trust that you're alright?" asked Lincoln respectfully.
Henry's smile froze on his face and his extended arm hung in the air awkwardly.
How dare Lincoln Naas be so impolite to me? And why's he so respectful to Nathan anyway?
Nathan smiled and shook Lincoln's hand. "I'm good, thank you for your concern. But I was treated
rather unfairly, so hopefully Deputy Chief Naas can help me get justice."
Lincoln didn't expect a handshake from someone as powerful as Nathan, so that made him giddy and
flushed. "Mr. Cross, I assure you I'll take this matter very seriously."
Nathan smiled as he explained how Henry Lancaster arrested him without an arrest warrant, and also
how Chase Li aided and abetted him throughout.
Lincoln's face darkened after hearing the whole story. He turned around and glared at both Henry and
Chase. "Is everything Mr. Cross said true?”
Chase was already covered in sweat, and he was so nervous he couldn't get a word out.
This was Henry's way of discreetly reminding Lincoln to not blow matters out of proportion.
Internal matters should be dealt with internally and privately.
Lincoln interrupted him. "That's against the law and you know it!" Read at
Henry's eyes grew wide. That's when he finally realized that Lincoln was being very
serious.
And right on cue, Lincoln declared, "You have willfully broken the law in my jurisdiction." Then he
looked to his men and signaled them, "Take Henry Lancaster and his team in!"
Henry and his men stepped back in shocked outrage. "How dare you!"
