Fade said in a low voice, "I told you that they started the fight. I fought back to defend myself."
When the traffic police officer heard this, he sneered, "Hehe, quit your quibbling. Take him away!"
The other traffic police officers were about to catch Fade. The messy- haired youths who were knocked down by Fade got off the ground with gritted teeth. They looked at Fade ferociously and gnashed their teeth. "D*mn, take him away. We will teach him a good lesson."
At this moment, Fade, and Quin, who was in the car, were surrounded by the traffic police officers.
Fade's eyes darkened as he grunted, "There are laws to be followed. How can you arrest me as you wish?"
The traffic police officer sneered, "Laws? Let me tell you, my orders are the greatest laws."
"Really? I didn't know an ordinary traffic police officer like you has so much power," Fade chided. He said, "I'd like to see the person who granted you this power."
Then, Fade took his mobile phone out to make a call.
The officers were not afraid at all. Instead, they mocked Fade.
"Ouch, you're calling for help!" an officer teased.
"I'd like to see who you're calling," another officer said.
"You're just an outsider. How dare you cause trouble in Bay City?" another officer uttered.
Fade ignored them and quickly said into the phone, "Yes, that's it. Now, my car is blocked. I want to leave within ten minutes."
"Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll deal with it right away," the person on the other end of the phone answered respectfully.
Chuck sneered at Fade, "So you called someone for help? And then? I'd like to see who comes to help you out."
After that, Chuck gestured to the traffic police officers, and the latter retreated right away. They did not catch Fade, but they formed a circle around him, blocking all his escapes.
When the drivers and passers-by caught sight of this, they sighed.
"This young man is too impulsive!" a driver said.
"He's dead if he fights with the local bullies!" another driver agreed.
"Young man, you are still too young," the other driver muttered.
"I'm afraid that the roadblock will last a few more hours this time!" a passer-by whined.
Time passed as the crowd chattered.
Soon, it was almost ten minutes after Fade's phone call. Fade looked at his watch and his eyes narrowed.
Upon noticing Fade's reaction, Chuck cast a sarcastic glance at Fade and said, "Ten minutes? Weren't you arrogant when you made the phone call just now? Time's up now and there's no way out."
The thin man was none other than Darren Hong, the Monkey King, one of the Four Heavenly Kings under Jimmy Wei.
Since Jimmy often traveled to other places, and Tom had moved to Long City, many of the Long Enterprise's businesses in Bay City were managed by Darren. Hence, Darren had become a big shot in the underground world at Bay City.
Darren looked at Chuck emotionlessly and said, "You used to be Brody's man, weren't you? When did Brody become so bold as to mess around in Bay City?"
Chuck's expression was strange when he heard what Darren said.
Brody was originally a gangster with quite some power in the underground world of Bay City. Of course, when compared to people like Darren, Brody was no match at all.
Chuck was originally only one of Brody's men. Some time ago, he was favored and promoted by Master Xu when the latter arrived at Bay City. His status rose afterward as Master Xu gained his influence. That was why he commanded some respect now.
However, when Darren revealed his history like that, Chuck remembered the time when he was inferior to the others.
After all, there was a huge gap between his old status and Darren's. They were not even on the same level. Therefore, when he faced Darren, he lacked confidence.
Just as Chuck's mood was complicated, the traffic police officer came over and patted him on his shoulder. He reminded him, "You are now Master Xu's man. They can't hurt you."
Chuck came back to his senses as he remembered something. He murmured, "Yes, I'm Master Xu's man. He will protect me! I have status now. I'm not afraid. I won't..."
As he muttered, Chuck seemed to have regained some confidence. Then, he looked straight at Darren and said, "I am no longer under Brody. I am Master Xu's man now. It's his order that we set up this roadblock."
"Master Xu? Order?" Darren snorted as his expression darkened. He said, "I don't care about him. You think I'm afraid of him?" "Mr. Chen is leaving. Get out of his way!" Darren shouted.
