Chapter 693
A red Bentley sped on the road, heading for the police precinct.
“Ms. Quillen, Captain Shaw just called back!” Lexi, who was seated next to
Mackenzie, suddenly shouted in excitement.
“Answer it!” Mackenzie’s pretty eyes lit up a little, but she remained calm as
she ordered.
“Yes, Ms. Quillen!” Lexi answered the call.
“Hello, Ms. Quillen? Happy New Year. I heard you’re looking for me.” A
middle–aged man’s voice sounded from the other end of the line.
“Happy New Year too, Captain Shaw! Are you at the precinct? I need to talk to
you about something.”
It was an urgent situation, so Mackenzie had to make it short. She knew that
Emmanuel was a skilled fighter, but if he went into a place like that with his
hands and feet bound, he would suffer defeat sooner or later.
“Oh, what bad timing! I just retired before the new year!”

Finlay Shaw’s reply shocked the ladies. Isn’t Captain Shaw only 51? Why did he
retire so soon?
Mackenzie was even more worried now. Was the Zelinksy family seriously
capable enough to control everything in Yeringham?!
“Haha, yes!” He guffawed and said, “People in my line of work are putting their
lives on the line. We’re no better than any ordinary men, and when we reach
our forties and fifties, our bodies are riddled with injuries. Our capabilities are
no longer suited for this position, so we should let the youngsters take over
instead.”
When Mackenzie heard that, she hastily asked, “Captain Shaw, if you retired
early, who’s taking over you?”
The Quillen family would maintain their public relations every year. Last year
was because of the fierce battle in the business field; since Finlay retired
early this year, they had not had any contact with the new captain.
“Oh, that man! He’s amazing!” Finlay’s tone of voice instantly changed. “He’s
only 30, but his resume and abilities are far above mine!”
Mackenzie and Lexi exchanged glances, their breaths getting a little heavier.
“His name is Sage Payne, and he just returned after he retired from a
mysterious military unit. They call him the Jade Beast. I heard that he had
slain countless enemies on the battlefield, and he has a terrifying murderous
aura coming from him. He’s especially skilled at interrogation; there was
once when he relied purely on his aura to intimidate an underground boss.
The guy was so scared that he lost his wits!” His tone was filled with
amazement and respect. It was apparent that he acknowledged the man
from the depths of his heart.
Lexi was even more anxious as she looked at Mackenzie. Although there were
not any noticeable changes in Mackenzie’s expression, Lexi could sense her
slight unease.
“Thank you, Captain Shaw.” Mackenzie ended the call personally, then fell
silent. She had no idea if the new captain was a friend or foe. If he were their
enemy, then Emmanuel would be in deep trouble!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMeanwhile, in a small room, Deon Harvey shouted, “Stop!”
Ashton was still fuming, but in the end, she stopped and left the room
furiously. Emmanuel felt aggrieved; he had obediently cooperated in the
investigation but merely refused to get beaten up. How was that offending
anybody?
He thought that Deon was a decent person, but unexpectedly, after the
woman left, Deon gave two subordinates a look. One of them shut the door
while the other turned off the surveillance. Instantly, Emmanuel had a bad
feeling about this. Could Deon be pretending to stop Ashton but revealing his
fangs after the surveillance was turned off?
Just as expected, a jet–black muzzle was aimed at Emmanuel when the
subordinates had completed their tasks. “Kid, I’ll cut to the chase. Hurry and
confess everything! Did you kill Hayden Hamilton or not?” Deon interrogated
straight away, seeming as if he never considered Emmanuel important at all.
him of assaulting an officer! No matter how skilled Emmanuel was in martial
arts, he still had to cower before a weapon!
