Release That Succubus

Chapter 218 218 Sound Out





"Even if I can't handle it, with Grace as backup I will definitely be able to hold my own against any enemy. He is strong and has always been at my side."

"I am not asking you this time Clara. You should know what is good for you. You can't keep playing around at your age." Marico snubbed her once again and saw the unwillingness in her eyes. But he could tell that Clara had really agreed and wouldn't do anything out of the ordinary.

"Fine, I will tr…"

Clara was interrupted before she could complete her agreement as the doors to the study burst open as if someone had rammed through it.

Both Clara and Marico jerked their heads towards the door to figure out the head and tail of the situation.

Marico was bewildered because the study door should have been locked and there should have been attendants outside to keep the people out.

Just as he was about to shout for the attendants to show themselves; several policemen made an entrance through the door like a gang of misfits out for mischief.

Marico saw that they were cops and kept his words inside. He noticed that the man leading the group of cops was an old acquaintance of Hogan's. Danger alarms rang inside his head the moment he recognized the Police Captain Andy. He knew that something was very wrong right there and then.

Even though the Windsor family wasn't considered the absolute top in Byzantium city, they were still respected enough by the police to give a notice before arrival. But this group being led by Andy was not only unruly but they seemed to have long since forgotten the basic courtesy of paying a visit to a family like the Windsor family.

Despite the discourteous behavior shown by the police, Marico wasn't one to go against the law for petty reasons. He was at a good position currently and could easily fight against any kind of injustice that the rest of the families might throw his way.

Marico pulled Clara behind his back instantly as he went forward to greet the group of police. He knew how headstrong his youngest daughter could be and was afraid that she would start butting heads with the police for no reason.

"Hello, to what do I owe your presence here and that too in such an explosive manner, Andy?" Marico asked the captain of the police force. Even though his words stung, there was a benevolent smile on his face as if he didn't mind their barging into his home.I think you should take a look at

Andy on the other hand didn't share his gesture of goodwill. He was acting like a man with a plan. The script had probably already been written and the characters had come over to play their roles to get it over with. Therefore, instead of replying Andy was completely indifferent as if Marico was nothing more than air in front of him.

Andy stared at Marico for a while. There was a strange glint in his eyes. Marico could see a hint of pity in them but he didn't believe that Andy was a kind person. He was aware of why his relationship with the Hunter family was so good.

Andy turned towards the two burly cops behind him and barked out his orders in a thundering voice, "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING STANDING THERE LIKE IDIOTS? CUFF HIM ALREADY."

The two burly men, who were following right behind him, sprang into action like two cats that had seen water. They knew their captain's temper and didn't want to be on the wrong side of him today. They had already known that this was an important job and they needed to do their best.

Marico couldn't understand what was happening at all. Even though he had expected that something was amiss when Andy brought the police force to his home, he had expected it to be more like a warning call or a threat from the Hunter family to slow down his business.

"What right do you have to arrest me? I have done nothing wrong. Even if you are the police captain, you can't wrongfully arrest anyone you want to? I can have you stripped from your position for this." Marico was incensed that Andy had come to arrest him at his home in front of his daughter knowing that Marico hadn't done anything wrong. He was deliberately causing trouble for the Windsor family and marring their reputation amongst the general public. Therefore, he was willing to fight for his rights and was going to use his power and the newly booming business to force the government to strip Andy's position that he was using to do whatever he wanted, instead of enforcing the law. 

The cops who were about to cuff Marico stopped when they heard Marico's threat and turned back to look at their captain as if asking whether to continue still.

Andy fumbled inside his jacket pocket and took out a piece of paper that had been carefully rolled like those ancient parchments with the seal of the law office.

Unrolling the sheet of paper, Andy turned it towards Marico and said righteously, "Mr. Marico Windsor, we are here to arrest you on the charges of selling toxic goods through your widespread business which has caused damage to the populace that trusted and bought the goods you sold. This is a crime against the public and the office of the law has issued this warrant for your arrest. You can judge my person all you want but don't point your finger at the way I carry out my duty. I am here to arrest a criminal and not to pay a visit to the esteemed Windsor family. Therefore, I don't think the way we came here is out of the ordinary. This is how we treat criminals. You better get used to it."

Andy finally answered all his questions with a smug smile on his face and his hypocrisy was plastered all over his face.
