Chapter 1080: Chapter 125: On the Brink of Eruption!_3

But the duties of these idiots also require them to produce results in their work.

So what can they do?

Put in some extra effort and miracles happen.

The agents use a little force, and some poor souls are about to start crying.

“In the evidence I submitted, there’s a silver box. You can extract fingerprints from it, and find out who they belong to.”

Jacob ultimately didn’t have the guts to betray Will. This was as much as he could say.

Hutter stood by the monitoring device and gave instructions over the intercom.

“Go check that silver box, and also, ask him what was inside the box. What were they trading?”

The agent followed the orders to ask, and Jacob’s expression was conflicted, not knowing what to do.

“Some documents with related information.”

“Where are the documents now?”

“I burned them.”

“Burned them? Do you think we’re joking with you, Mr. Jacob? You are being investigated for endangering national security and for your involvement in the assault on the American Great Commander, do you understand?”

Hutter listened to the conversation on the monitoring device, his expression very serious.

Jacob, let’s hope your bones aren’t too hard.

—————–

Chief Cheng was stirring up trouble, and of course, America’s public authority would not turn a blind eye.

Alongside the investigation in Nigeria, there was another special line.

However, this had nothing to do with the Great Commander’s messy accounts, it was solely about purging internal corruption within the LAPD.

Lake didn’t have the guts to move against Jax and Gru, but he had enough courage to start with their underlings, slicing the sausage bit by bit.

Not just courage, but a great amount of it too.

At a certain precinct in San Rodolfo, as usual, the officers were each doing their own work.

Those slacking were slacking, those harassing female subordinates were harassing female subordinates.

For the local chief, today was just another fine day.

However, the arrival of a team of internal control officers from the Police Investigations Department broke the peaceful atmosphere there.

Of course, Thomas was not alone. In this precinct, he had his folks, and quite a few of them.

The door to the chief’s office was pushed open by a subordinate, who shouted to him in a panic.

“Boss, Lake’s people are here, they’re going to take us down. You should leave first!”

Pushing the female officer in front of him away, Thomas cursed and pulled up his pants.

“Run for what? No need to fear, they wouldn’t dare do anything!”

“Boss…”

Noisy sounds came from outside, as if a dispute had erupted, and Thomas heard someone shouting loudly.

“Make way, don’t block the path!

Chief Thomas, I’m Inspector Burns, I need your cooperation with our work!”

Tightening his belt and hiding the extra fat, Chief Thomas cursed as he walked out of the office.

Outside, the Police Investigations Department team led by Burns was already surrounded by his subordinates.

“You son of a bitch, Burns. Why aren’t you licking Lake’s sore on his butt today?”

The bravado of a gang middleman was indeed remarkable. Even with death looming, Thomas dared to point at Burns’s nose and curse.

“You are suspected of being involved in an international drug trafficking case. Sheriff Lake and the prosecutor have already signed the action order.

Thomas, we are old acquaintances, can’t you show a little decency?”

Burns suppressed his anger, speaking sinisterly.

“And, officers of the precinct, you are government employees, not Thomas’s employees. Don’t sacrifice your future for a criminal!”

With this statement, the encirclement of Burns’s team by the precinct officers quickly loosened.

Yes, why should we be the fools jumping into a fire pit while the higher-ups fight?

Not everyone harbored partiality towards the underground forces, and some officers whose sense of justice had not yet been completely eroded even silently cheered for today’s events in their hearts.

“The future? If you kneel and pleasure me well, I’ll give you a future. Otherwise, I’ll kill your whole family tonight!

You’re not worthy of arresting me, or to even talk about the future here!”

Thomas boldly dragged over a chair and sat down, threatening from across the crowd.

Hearing the head of their faction ready to stand firm, regardless of what Thomas’s subordinates were thinking, they no longer hesitated, with no more room to straddle the fence.

Thomas’s threat not only targeted Burns, but in a way, it was also directed at every underground force member harboring betrayal!

Burns’s heart was racing fast, as he noticed some precinct officers had already started reaching for their guns.

The first internal gunfight within the LAPD was on the verge of eruption!
