Chapter 726: Chapter 451: Demons Rise One Foot, the Path Rises Ten Feet - 2

It was all too normal to shoot - after all, you didn’t notify them, and these two policemen don’t know you!

The local police station freaked out when they heard Sean Knight’s house was attacked!

Immediately, all officers were mobilized, carrying guns and driving over as quickly as possible.

At this point, there were not many special police officers left in the courtyard who could move.

Sean and his team, wearing gas masks, were reloading their guns one by one.

Then the police took over.

One survivor struggled to say they were policemen, but no one believed it.

However, they quickly realized it was wrong, as they had police badges and documents in the car that was left behind.

A proper police car!

Now things had escalated!

The local police were also at a loss and immediately reported the incident up the chain.

By the time Tristan Whitmore’s superior came with reinforcements, there were virtually no survivors on this side.

This officer was furious, but before he could vent his anger, the police commissioner over here critiqued their actions, saying they were not following the rules!

Conducting cross-border searches and arrests without notifying others was not proper!

Anyway, afterward, it was a dog-eat-dog situation, and Tristan’s superior knew he was in the wrong. He hadn’t expected Sean’s relationship with the local police station to be so good.

He also hadn’t expected Sean’s group to be so powerful, managing to wipe out his entire special police team!

The losses were massive!

Of course, he didn’t want to let it go. After all, someone had paid him for this operation, and it was also supported by some congressmen behind the scenes.

However, he didn’t expect that before he could take any action, Sean had already made his move!

"Spend 1 million on lawyers, and I don’t believe I can’t bring him down!"

Sean was also furious.

This was a classic case of sitting at home while trouble came from the sky!

All he did was buy something. How did he end up with such a big problem?

Obviously, this was a trap for him!

It was just unclear if Pelos was aware of the situation or not.

If he wasn’t aware, then he could still be trusted.

After all, Sean had no guilt in getting all those things from the Zero Dollar Purchase.

This time, he gained assets worth over a hundred million dollars while spending only several million - even if it took another million to settle the issue, he wouldn’t feel a bit of pain!

"I see." Kathy Lewis’ eyes flashed with rare anger, "These people are too much!"

Soon, a team of New York’s top lawyers was assembled to handle the case.

"Mr. Knight, although the case is a bit complicated, your chances of winning are very high!"

As long as they were paid, the lawyers in New York were really good at talking.

After all, in any case, Sean was in the right.

With no contrary evidence, Tristan and his team were dead. If anyone even survived, it would still be difficult, as private property was sacred and inviolable.

Of course, there were also cases where the police broke into homes and eventually went unpunished.

Once, a female police officer returned home after a long day and found a black youth sitting on her sofa, snacking and watching TV. She questioned the young man and then shot him dead.

It was only then that she realized she had entered the wrong house.

And the young man was an excellent college student who should have had a bright future, but was killed by mistake.

But in court, because of the jury’s sympathy and some unspeakable reasons, the female officer received only a small punishment.

Of course, that case was different from the present one.

In that case, the black youth’s family could not afford a high-end lawyer and had no influence on the jury.

But now it was different. Sean had a good reputation in the police station, and Kathy also had good connections in the area.

So the legal team was confident in winning the lawsuit.

Especially when Sean said that if the lawyer’s fees weren’t enough, he could add more, the lawyers all seemed to have taken some kind of stimulant.

Even famous lawyers don’t get a cut of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars for every case!

In this time of economic downturn, the allure of earning hard cash was immense!

While the lawyers and Sean were discussing, Tristan’s superior called in another group of police officers.

"We suspect you have connections to a theft case, so we’ve applied for a search warrant to search your villa!"

Getting this search warrant was no easy task.

Originally, this area did not belong to his jurisdiction, so if he wanted to apply for a search warrant here, he would have to go through the police commissioner over here.

Naturally, they were reluctant. If they offended Sean because of this, they might lose their benefits in the police station.

However, Tristan’s superior also did get permission from his higher-ups, which eventually resulted in pressure being put on the local police station to agree to the search warrant.

To settle this matter, the police officers sent by Tristan’s superior were blocking Sean’s door so as not to let Sean transfer the items out.

As long as they could obtain the search warrant and find the stolen items, they could prove that Sean was involved in the case.

At that time, at least they could clear the names of their fallen subordinates.

He clearly understood that even though Sean had traded for this batch of items, there was no proper trading procedure involved.

Only the mixed-race bastard had slipped away too quickly to be caught!

When Gross Samuel, Tristan’s superior, presented the search warrant to Sean, he felt that he had an 80% chance of handling the matter.

After all, they had already received news that the freight yard had been withdrawn, and while there were indeed boxes in the truck, they were empty.

So there was only one possibility: Sean had left the items in the villa, and the truck leaving was just a decoy.
