Chapter 626 Why Now?
Location- Sky Blossom City, Burger empire
"Old lady has been carrying this for quite a while, unable to tell anybody what your mother did and my daughter is doing. So much so that I went off the topic reminiscing about the past. Now let\'s talk about why we are actually here." Denise wanted to relax the tension between her friend\'s son and her. So that they can talk freely and she would gain his attention. Therefore she decided to share a secret. Having talked about the secret she had been carrying for years, Denise finally felt lighthearted and went a little off topic but soon returned to the original course.
"About time. I don\'t know why an outstanding citizen like me is being treated like this. I want answers." I demanded. Hearing my words, Denise\'s brows frowned, and I could see a vein almost pop on her forehead.
"Wyatt, you said, let\'s talk. So I am reaching out to speak now. Why are you being unreasonable?" Denise thought sharing the friendship she had with the boy\'s mother would make him open up to her, and they could have a truthful conversation, but her plan doesn\'t seem to be working. Gaining the information he wanted, the boy, once again, reverted to shutting himself off from her.
"Look, Police Chief Denise, just because you are grateful for my mother\'s help, it doesn\'t give you the right to interfere with my life. If you understand what I am saying, please tell me why you have taken me into police custody." I entertained Denise till now because I was interested in Mama Wyatt\'s past and later Denise\'s daughter\'s trait, untaintable. Now that my curiosity was satisfied, all I wanted was to return to the warehouse, take care of Bright Lion\'s matter and help Kane with his Origin card creation.
"It seems there is a misunderstanding between us. But I don\'t deny that I am at fault here. I owe you an explanation for why I did not take care of you after the funeral, why I could not be more present in your life if I am as grateful to your mother as I say I am." Denise explained that she owed me an explanation why she did not help young Wyatt after Mama and Papa Wyatt\'s funeral.
"That is not the only thing you owe me an explanation for. What about when that bastard Kevin Zhang challenged me for a life and death duel? Where were you then? What about the time when the whole city wanted to kill me to impress the southern royal family? Where were you then? What about when the entire world called me a fraud? Where were you then?
Honestly, it doesn\'t matter anymore. I don\'t want to hear your excuses. I have managed to survive fine on my own, and I don\'t require your help. And please don\'t drag me into your guilt. It is not my problem that you feel guilty and burdened because of how grateful you are for my mother\'s help. Don\'t try to push it on me and deal with it yourself.
Now my legal team is here. Discuss the charges you are charging my boys and me with them. I am done talking to you now." As soon as we stopped at burger empire, I contacted Van and asked him to come over with the legal support as quickly as possible. And they had arrived. I could have used Anna\'s name, but I decided against it. Anna wouldn\'t mind, but I did not want to rely on her for every little thing. Plus, the TSR guild had paid a substantial amount to groom a legal team just for days like this.
"Police Chief Denise, I would like to hear the charges you have brought up against my client. If they hold no merit, I demand that you release my client right away." An older man in an expensive suit rushed to our table and started to represent me legally.
"Shut up, old fart." Denise ignored the lawyer. And looking at me, she said, "Wyatt, if you don\'t want to hear why I could not help you before, fine. But please hear me tell you why I am here for you now."
"Master Wyatt, you don\'t have to speak to her. Please let me handle this." The old lawyer advised me not to indulge Denise and turned to Denise. Then he sternly said, " Chief Denise, I strongly advise you not to speak to my client unless you have stated the crimes brought up against him and his friends by the state."
"Get lost, you old relic. I am his aunt. I don\'t need a lawyer to talk to him." This interference of the lawyer as she wanted to talk sense into her nephew was why Denise changed her distinction from 89th precinct to Burger empire after knowing that her nephew\'s legal team was waiting at the precinct.
"What?" The old lawyer started to sweat bullets, not knowing how good his employer\'s relationship was with his aunt. If he liked her, he would have to change his entire strategy of facing the police chief Denise because he did not want to lose his job because he could not mediate a family feud correctly. Lord only knows one wrong word from his mouth, and he will end up offending both his employer\'s aunt and the employer himself, putting his position in jeopardy, "Chief Denise, I don\'t care if this is a family feud. You took it too far, abusing your power over a mere disagreement with your nephew. You have left him no choice but to defend himself using legal means. Chief Denise, please state the charges that the state has brought up against my client and his friends."
"Old man, let her speak. I want to know what she has to say for herself." I wanted to know why Denise became so proactive out of nowhere. Did she have a motive? I will not know for sure until I get a read on her.
"I dare to be seen with you now because the circle has fled the city."
