Chapter 30
The Walkers’ sudden activity caught the attention of virtually everyone. in
Drunham City. A lot of the smaller families were beginning to feel. anxious, trying
to figure out if they were the ones who crossed the Walkers. The entire city
seemed to be engulfed in a cloak of
impending doom.
Meanwhile, a scrawny old man was perched on the couch of Howard's office,
staring at him with a knowing look. “Mr. Mosier, the Walkers are hosting an event
in a few days that will involve three thousand or so people. This event will be held
around Walker Mansion, and I hope that the police will stay out of this. I won't be
able to guarantee what will happen if the police intervene without
reason!”
The Walkers were just as arrogant even toward the chief of police himself!
Howard scowled, infuriated at having been threatened so outright. He smacked
the table and snapped, “This is the police, not your backward, Keith! Are you
trying to threaten me? Are you disregarding the entire law and judicial system
altogether? Do you know that's a very serious criminal offense?”1
He could not believe how cocky the Walkers were! Did they think they were
almighty in this city and could do whatever they wanted?
“Of course, I know that, Mr. Mosier! You're the chief of police, after all, but might I
remind you that our own Charles Walker is the head of the Southern Division of
the military? Besides, we're not even going to do anything illegal. We are simply
hosting a get-together that we hope the police will not interfere with. No one likes
a spoilsport, right? I hope you can reason with this, Mr. Mosier. It won't be fun to
mess with someone you're not supposed to!”

With that, Keith stood up and left without so much as a glance.
The moment Keith disappeared out the door, Howard hurled his mug in the
direction he left in and shouted, “Who do you think you are, Keith? How dare you
threaten me right in my territory? You Walkers are insufferable! You'd better hide
your trails well...or else!”
At this moment, Howard's second-in-command, Gordon, returned from his
mission and arrived just in time to hear Howard's angry cries. He finally knocked
on Howard's door and asked, “What's wrong, Sir? Why are you so angry?”
Howard sighed when he saw it was Gordon and retorted, “Didn't I tell you to keep
an eye on Jade Manor? What are you doing back so soon? Did something
happen?”
A sheepish look crossed Gordon's face. “Sir, nothing happened, but Trent Walker
is being held captive there, and he’s howling so loud that everyone within a mile
radius can hear him. It's as though they're torturing him or something. Should
we..."
“Let's not interfere! Tell everyone that we're not allowed to intervene no matter
what we hear! If anything, just pretend you're deaf! Just keep an eye on Jade
Manor and make sure nothing fishy is going on. The Walkers need to be taught a
lesson!” Howard scoffed, but his mood lightened after hearing that Trent was
caught and was possibly being tortured by Liam.
