A few men in police uniforms walked in and one of them took out a police officer's card. "We are from the Criminal Police Unit. Someone reported that you are doing illegal business here."
Maddox paused and turned his head. His cold gaze landed on Godber's face with indifference. The latter did not expect the police to come. Godber's face turned pale.
Maddox slowly looked back, making a mocking sneer. Tonight, Dream Nightclub would disappear from Benin.
The police came in and searched every corner of the room, while Maddox and Godber were taken downstairs.
The bar that used to be lively and noisy was very quiet at this moment. Only the colorful lights were still flickering.
More than a dozen policemen surrounded the guests. Some were panic-stricken, while others stared at the policemen with ferocious expressions.
"Maddox."
As soon as Maddox walked over, a policeman went up to greet him.
Seeing this person, Maddox finally revealed a sincere smile, "Talbot."
Talbot smiled and punched Maddox on the shoulder, "Why are you here?"
"I have an appointment with someone," Maddox replied casually.
"You have an appointment?" Talbot frowned, "You shouldn't have made an appointment in such a place."
As he spoke, he could tell how much Talbot despised this club.
Maddox smiled and said with other implications, "This is the last time."
Talbot glanced at him spitefully. "It would be the best if this was the last time. Next time, without me, you'll be in trouble.”
"A straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe,” Maddox said seriously.
Talbot couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, you are right."
Following that, Talbot instructed the policemen to thoroughly search the nightclub. Then, he raised his hand to hook Maddox's shoulder and planned to leave.
Seeing that Maddox was so familiar with the police, how could Godber miss the opportunity to ride Maddox's coattails? He hurriedly shouted at Maddox, who was about to leave, "Mr. Shen, don't leave. Help me talk to your friend. There is no illegal business in my club."
Hearing this, Maddox stopped. Talbot, who was beside him, turned to look at Maddox and frowned. "Hey, Maddox, you don't want to speak for Godber, do you?"
Maddox did not answer. Talbot was anxious, "Don't let me look down on you. Do you know what kind of person Godber is?"
"I know." Maddox glanced at him, then and then turned around to look at Godber who was not far away.
Upon seeing him turn around, Godber felt hopeful.
Next, Maddox's calm voice sounded, "Mr. Young, since there is no illegal business, let them search. A straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe, right?"
With that, Maddox turned around and left without looking back.
Talbot was shocked on the spot. When he understood Maddox's words, Maddox had long left. Talbot looked at Godber and hurried to chase after Maddox.
Talbot looked at Maddox and was silent for a moment before asking, "Are you planning to use the Shen family's power?"
"Why not?" Maddox asked instead of answering.
"It looks like you love that woman very much." Otherwise, Maddox wouldn't use the power of the Shen family.
Did Maddox love Yayoi? Maddox wasn't sure, but for now, he didn't want her to suffer from the slightest bit of grievance. He just wanted her to be happy.
"In the future, if possible, bring her out and let us know each other." Talbot patted Maddox's shoulder and looked in the direction of the nightclub. "It seems that we're going to be busy tonight. I won't chat with you anymore. We'll meet again another day."
“Alright.” Maddox nodded.
"Then I'll go in." Talbot turned around and strode towards the nightclub.
"Hey..." Maddox suddenly shouted.
Talbot stopped and turned to look at Maddox, only to hear, "Thank you, Talbot."
Talbot smiled and waved his hand before continuing walking.
Maddox watched Talbot enter the nightclub. Until then, Maddox got into the car. Maddox looked at Dream Nightclub before he started the car, and then drove away from this place that was destined to disappear soon.
Rosiley and Juliet returned home after dinner with Yayoi.
Upon returning home, Rosiley saw Sachin sitting in the living room.
She was stunned for a moment, then walked over.
Sachin, who was watching the news, heard footsteps and turned his head. Seeing that it was Rosiley, he smiled at her. "You are back."
Rosiley replied with a smile, "Yes, I'm back."
She sat down beside him and said, "Why don't you go upstairs and rest?"
"I was waiting for you."
Rosiley was a little shy as she glared at him cutely, "I'm not a child. I don't need you to wait for me."
Sachin looked so tired, but he was still waiting for her.
Rosiley couldn't help but feel a little guilty. If she had known that he was waiting, she would have gone home earlier.
Sachin smiled and said, "Without my wife by my side, the room is so empty. I would be afraid if I am alone."
Rosiley was amused by his words, "You're still afraid of staying in the room alone as a grown man."
"Sure!" Sachin stood up and held her up against her waist.
Rosiley cried out in alarm softly. "Since you are back, let's go back to sleep."
As he spoke, Sachin carried her upstairs.
