Mighty soldier king (Peter Wang)

People immediately gathered around the coffee shop upon hearing the wailing police sirens.

"We received reports of gunfire here. What happened?" a cop inquired at Peter and Bella.

Several customers already fled the scene as soon as the fight ended.

Peter and Bella were the only remaining witnesses apart from the ones injured. Fortunately, the two of them weren't hurt.

"We're not sure either," Peter said shaking his head. "A foreign guy just entered and suddenly started shooting like a maniac! I risked my life and managed to scare him away. By the way, that's his gun right there." He pointed at the weapon on the floor.

"You scared him away? The killer?" The cop was unable to hide his shock. "Anyway, why did he want to kill you? Who are you?"

"Sir, this is Bella Song, President of Silverland Group and I am her bodyguard. Miss Song is his target, not me. I was only doing my job to protect my boss," he replied.

"That's bullshit!" a man suddenly appeared and shouted. "He's lying, officer. He's a security guard of Silverland Group, not her bodyguard!"

It was Frank.

Knowing what happened, he made his way into the store without anyone stopping him because of his social status.

"He is just a security guard! How could he have scared the killer away? Is he really who he says he is? For all we know, he could be a wanted criminal hiding in Golden City!

From what I know, he's the target and not Bella. It would have been too odd of a coincidence if the killer suddenly started targeting Bella exactly when he arrived in town, don't you think?

This guy is a ticking timebomb waiting to explode in our peaceful city. I suggest that you do a complete and thorough investigation of this man!"

He said all this with so much passion. He was so convincing even he started to believe what he was saying.

'Fuck you, Peter. I won't go easy on you this time. I'm gonna kill you! I swear,' Frank thought.

Bella was fuming with anger but kept herself from saying anything.

Frank sounded so reasonable! Also, surely the cops would find out what Peter was doing in the Golden City. It would be no use lying.

"Oh, Frank. You seem to have forgotten what we talked about. I guess you're not taking my words very seriously. I'd be more quiet if I were you, or I would have no choice but to ask you the hard way,"

Peter told Frank with a smile. He did a good job hiding his anger.

"Are you threatening me? Go ahead. Come at me,"

Frank shouted as he trembled with rage. Did he think he could intimidate him in front of all these cops? Who did he think he was? 'Son of a bitch! How dare you!'

"Sir, you heard him! He is begging me to beat him up! I can't find it in me to refuse him. I only want to help!"

With a huge smile across his face, Peter slapped him forcibly and sent him falling on his knees.

Frank's face twisted as his body shook.

He clearly didn't expect what Peter did.

'Is he insane? Fuck, '

he thought.

"Well done! You're dead," he shouted as he turned to the cops. "Officers! I want to sue this man for intentional injury!"

Then, Peter dropped his foot on his mouth.

Frank felt so appalled that he wanted to kill Peter right then and there even though he knew that he couldn't.

Peter gave him another hard kick before he stretched out his hands. "Sirs, I'll go to the police station with you and cooperate with your investigation."

He had no plans of dismissing the city police's authority.

"Peter!" Bella cried, extremely worried about Peter.

"Don't worry, I'll be okay," he assured her with a big smile. He didn't seem concerned at all.

They obediently left the coffee shop with the cops.

Bella was asked to make a police record and was immediately allowed to leave right after while Peter was detained.

The ambulance soon arrived for Frank and the nurses took him to the hospital.

More people started to find out about the incident in the coffee shop in about an hour later.

They were greatly shocked.

It was unbelievable how Alfred, Frank, Rowen, and Felix - men who hated Peter - would actually pull strings to send him to jail!

Bella did her best to use what power she had to bail Peter out.

She also thought of contacting Brandon but had no means to reach him since she didn't know his telephone number.

One person she forgot about, though, was James. She doubted whether James would have been willing to help, anyway. She wasn't aware of the level of his relationship with Peter. Besides, it was quite embarrassing.

It was interesting how Peter had so many enemies but also so many friends.

The people who witnessed the event kept their opinions in their respective circles. Was he really just an ordinary security guard? Or did he actually have what it took to survive his predicament?

The deputy director sat confused and irritated in his office.

So many calls flooded him in the span of an hour and he was sick of it.

Who was this security guard that his leaders seem to be paying so much attention to?

The thought that he might be someone very important made him tremble in fear whenever the phone rang.

Meanwhile, Peter settled himself as he was taken to the interrogation room.

An average-looking cop sat across him. She was probably around twenty years old. She was in good shape. Her uniform looked good on her.

Interrogation started immediately. Soon later, she started to become more and more perplexed, not because Peter was dishonest, but because he seemed so open and cooperative.

That was why she was surprised.

She made him wait for two hours before she entered the room because she thought that this would give him mental stress and cause him to panic.

It seemed to have not affected him at all, though. He even seemed calmer than her!

"Who are you? Why are you in Golden City? Who was the foreign killer and why did he want to kill you? It would be in your best interest to answer honestly. Else, you'll surely be punished for your lies.

I've made a thorough investigation about you. You arrived in Golden City half a month ago and became a security guard one week ago. So clearly, you were lying when you said that you were Bella's bodyguard."

The cop looked at Peter straight in the eyes in hopes that this show of power would stress him out mentally.
