A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 102: Scoundrel


Brianna felt a wave of joy in her heart.

She said, "Twenty thousand? But you said it, not me."

"Of course I said it, but I don't feel like giving it to you now."

Dirk spoke lightly.

Brianna was stunned.

She was furious, raised the sickle in her hand, and shouted, "Damn it, you're playing me, give me the money, or I'll hack you to death today."

"If you're going to hack me to death, then I'll just give you the money."

Dirk inexplicably took out two stacks of money.

Brianna's eyes lit up at the sight of money.

She couldn't care less about anything else.

She grabbed the money and started counting it, wetting her finger to do so.

"Call the police."

Dirk turned around and said to Zach.

Zach nodded.

He took the phone and went outside.

The police station wasn't far.

It only took three to five minutes after making the call.

A police car slowly drove over.

The car door opened.

Out came one police officer and two auxiliary officers.

The leading officer was swaggering, walking with his head held high.

"Who called the police?"

Upon reaching the shop entrance, the officer shouted loudly.

"Report, officer, I called the police."

Dirk raised his hand and said.

The officer felt Dirk looked somewhat familiar but couldn't remember where they'd met, and asked, "What's going on?"

Dirk pointed to Brianna, who was holding a sickle and counting money, and said, "She is robbing."

"Robbery?"

The officer frowned.

He walked into the grocery store.

"Dirk, this person is Dakarai Hamilton, Brianna's cousin."

Hiding behind Dirk, Yvette whispered.

Dakarai walked up to Brianna, and the two started speaking quietly.

After exchanging a few words.

Dakarai turned around, pointed at Dirk, and said to the two auxiliary officers, "Cuff him."

The two auxiliary officers immediately took out handcuffs and walked towards Dirk.

Just about to act, Dirk asked, "Officer, I clearly called the police, why are you cuffing me?"

"I'll cuff whoever I want to cuff, the police handle the case, do you get to direct it?"

Dakarai said bossily.

As soon as he finished speaking.

There was a click sound.

Handcuffs were placed on Dirk's wrists.

The situation turned.

Yvette was so anxious she was about to step up to plead, but Dirk shot her a glance.

"No, officer, this is unreasonable. Clearly, she robbed me with a knife, you should arrest her, not me."

Dirk finished speaking.

Dakarai sneered.

He walked up to Dirk, extended his hand, and lightly slapped Dirk's face twice, saying, "Bro, who are you? Are you a cop? You say it's robbery and it's robbery? Whether it's robbery is for me to decide, not you. Dissatisfied? No worries, once we're at the station, I'll make sure you're satisfied."

Dirk finally saw firsthand why Brianna dared to be so lawless.

With a cop like this protecting her.

She had nothing to fear.

"Bro? Arrest me? Don't you see where you are? You sound like an out-of-towner. This money is for my medical expenses, and you still owe for playing with my wife..."

At this time.

Brianna had finished counting the twenty thousand.

She put it away contentedly.

She walked up to Dirk and, somewhat smugly, said.

"So, it was just robbery, and now it's blackmail, huh?"

Dirk asked.

"So what if I rob you? So what if I extort you? What can you do about it?"

Brianna said, fearlessly.

Dirk sneered a little and said, "Alright, since I'm already cuffed, there's certainly nothing I can do. The money's in my pocket, why don't you take it yourself?"

Hearing Dirk still had money.

Brianna got excited.

She quickly reached into Dirk's pocket.

After feeling around for a while.

She took out a black document.

Glancing at it, not knowing what it was, she casually threw it on the ground, angrily saying, "You're playing tricks on me, where's the money?"

Dirk glanced at the document on the ground, and said, "The money's in there."

"What's money doing in this?"

Brianna bent over and picked up the document again.

Upon opening it, she didn't react, but Dakarai next to her was stunned.

He snatched the document.

Looked it over, and his entire body shivered.

"Is there money in here?"

Brianna just leaned her head over when Dakarai smacked her face with a slap.

"Cousin, why did you hit me?"

Having been inexplicably slapped.

Brianna felt aggrieved.

Dakarai didn't have time to explain.

He quickly took out the handcuff key, wanting to release Dirk's handcuffs.

Dirk pulled his hand back.

And said, "Officer Hamilton, no need. Let Mitchell Childers do the release."

Dakarai shuddered.

Just about to say something.

He saw Mitchell Childers leading several police officers coming over.

It was over, completely over this time.

Dakarai began shaking all over.

Using a trembling voice, he said, "Mayor Carter, I... I was wrong, I failed to recognize a giant among us, I... I didn't know it was you..."

"You didn't know it was me? So, you bully the weak and fear the strong? Wearing a police uniform but not doing your duty, with so many people witnessing Brianna committing robbery with a sickle in front of you, extorting me, you ignored it, and just cuffed me without asking for details, do you think you still deserve to be a cop?"

"I... I'm wrong..."

Dakarai still wanted to explain.

Mitchell Childers didn't give him a chance.

With a wave of his hand.

The two police officers took Dakarai away.

One can easily guess that today will likely be the last day he wears a police uniform.

At this moment, Brianna also realized Dirk's identity.

She was also extremely frightened.

But, being a rogue isn't solving the problem.

Knowing she's not a match for Dirk, she fell to the ground, wailing, "Heavens above, earth below, is there any justice in this world, an official plays with my wife and I can't seek redress, I don't want to live anymore, I might as well die."

After finishing, she pointed the sickle at her throat, looking like she was going to commit suicide.

Mitchell Childers worried something might happen.

He was about to step in to stop her.

Dirk raised a hand to stop him.

He said to Brianna, "Go on."

Brianna cried out again, "Villagers, you see, the mayor wants to push the common people to death, I can't live, I'm going to slit my throat and die now..."

"Go ahead, use some force, want me to help you?"

Dirk remained unmoved, instead encouraging her.

Brianna originally thought her performance would cause a commotion.

But unexpectedly, after making a scene, no one reacted, everyone watched her like a clown.

She didn't have the guts to actually commit suicide.

She tossed the sickle away and got up from the ground, saying, "Mayor Carter, is it? Alright, you're brave, but it doesn't matter, after today, I'll keep beating her up every day, I'll strip her naked, tie a rope, parade her in the streets, she's my wife, let's see what you can do."

"Really?"

Dirk squinted and asked.

"Aren't you going to protect her? I'll let you watch her get bullied by me and you won't be able to do anything about it."

Brianna, in front of everyone, gestured wildly, gritting her teeth and saying.
