Chapter 765

Sawyer grinned sardonically, “Is that a joke? Do you think you’ll be allowed to post anything about this place in the public sphere? Are you ignorant or naive?”

Rachel’s gaze swept across everyone, including Jeremy and the two policemen who brought them here.

All of them looked dismissive, as though the matter at hand was so trivial, there was no need for them to conduct any investigation whatsoever.

So this was how they handled matters. Rachel didn’t dare think about how insecure or unsafe the residents here felt, living under the oppression of power and influence without any notion of justice.

At that moment, Tyler spoke up.

“I’d like to see if I can post this video out there." He turned to Rachel. “Film them, and I’ll post it. I’ll see how far these people can go to subvert justice.”

Jeremy’s aged yet sharp eyes landed on Tyler.

Thus far, he had seen his fair share of people in his rather long life. This man before him exuded an imposing aura he had never felt before. Throughout his career, this was the first time he felt this threatened.

He didn’t immediately refute Tyler’s words. Instead, he turned toward Sawyer and pulled him aside.

“How much do you know about this man? I’m telling you, you’d better come clean! I don’t want you doing me in because of one of your filthy actions.”

Jeremy’s attitude took a 180–degree turn.

The smug look on Sawyer’s face froze.

“J–Jeremy, what do you mean by that? He’s just some foreigner. What’s there to be worried about? No matter how impressive he is, that has nothing to do with us. He won’t be able to do anything to us!”

Jeremy said solemnly, “And how do you know that? What if he has connections? What are you going to do about that?”

Sawyer was stunned, but he quickly denied Jeremy’s fears.

“Jeremy, what’s going on? I’ve never seen you so fickle about dealing with things. Look, it’s impossible. Would he wait till now to speak up if he’s really that powerful?”

Jeremy’s doubts were quelled by Sawyer’s words.

That was true. This place was his territory. Would a foreigner have more say than he did here?

Even so, Jeremy still felt uneasy.

However, things had come to this point. He couldn’t beat a hasty retreat now.

“Alright, hurry up and get this matter settled. I have something else to attend to tonight.”

Sawyer tapped Jeremy on the shoulder and said with a wicked smile, “Don’t worry, Jeremy. I recently shortlisted a new batch of young women. I’ll send them your way. I must say, they’re gorgeous. You’ll be satisfied with them.”

Jeremy’s eyes lit up at Sawyer’s promise.

Rachel didn’t know what they were talking about, but she could sense that Jeremy was drooling over a prospect very desirable to him. Her instincts told her that Jeremy was certainly not a decent man and was very much in cahoots with Sawyer.

However, to bring this man down was indeed troublesome. Someone with his level of influence and network wouldn’t be easy to deal with for foreigners like them.

If they clashed head–on with him, she wasn’t sure if they’d be able to leave this place alive.

Rachel tugged Tyler’s sleeve and said as objectively as she could, “Let’s settle our own issues first. We can only try our best for the rest.”

Tyler patted her shoulder comfortingly, signaling her not to worry.
