Chapter 271 My Man
Four uniformed men with guns surrounded them.
A few others lagged half a foot behind, their gun barrels locked on James, ready to shoot at any moment.
Lucy and her group looked at James with a mocking expression.
So what if James was skilled?In the face of power, it was useless."
Mia and her group were furious, ready to fight at James' command. If he gave the order, Troy and the others around them would shoot their crossbows.
But James stopped their impulsiveness.
Eugene and his men were under orders, and if James acted, they would shoot without mercy. James didn't want to see anyone get hurt.
"I always thought Keith was clever."James took a step forward, ignoring the guns pointed at him. "Now it seems I overestimated him."
"Bastard, how dare you slander Mr. Morris?" Lucy couldn't hold back and shouted, "He could crush you without any effort."
"Stop wasting time with him. Let's take him back to Stardust City for a proper trial." Eugene waved his hand again.
At that moment, a stretch Lincoln appeared, speeding towards them.
The uniformed men tried to stop it but were ruthlessly knocked aside, and the car came to a halt in front of everyone.
As Eugene's face darkened and he was about to give the order to take action, the car door opened, and a tall, imposing young woman stepped out.
She was accompanied by a few others.
It was Sarah, the heiress of the Howard family.
Her black short skirt barely covered her waist, revealing her white, slender legs crossed in a seductive manner. She looked around with disdain, though there was a hint of urgency in her eyes.
Eugene was slightly taken aback, "Miss Howard?"
Lucy was also surprised, "Sarah?"
Sarah narrowed her eyes slightly, then looked at Eugene and Lucy,"Eugene, Lucy, what's going on?"
She had already seen the tense standoff at the entrance of JZL Medical Hall and the two pools of blood on the ground, so she asked Eugene and Lucy, with whom she had a good relationship.
Lucy quickly replied, "James offended Mr. Morris, and Eugene is here to take him back."
Eugene shook his head. Lucy was thoughtless, giving an unjust reason would only cause trouble for Keith.
"James is suspected of killing Joe and two others. I'm taking him back for investigation." Eugene added, then looked at Sarah, "Miss Howard, what brings you here?"
Sarah was a smart woman. She quickly gathered from Eugene and Lucy's words and actions that James had provoked Keith, a big problem.
And from the injuries of Sebastian and Nathaniel, it was clear that Keith hated James very much.
She grasped the situation.
"My father is ill and wants James to take a look." Sarah concealed Simon's paralysis and looked meaningfully at James. Given the current situation, she didn't need to beg James anymore.
"Mr. Howard is ill?" Eugene was slightly surprised, then puzzled. "Mr. Howard has many experts around him. Why call James?"
"My father's condition isn't serious, but it's a difficult case. James happens to know some remedies." Sarah smiled. "So I came to ask him to take a look."
Eugene and Lucy's expressions changed.
If the Howard family was asking James to treat Mr. Howard, they couldn't arrest him.
After all, Simon was famous. No matter how powerful the Morris family was, they couldn't joke about his health.
"But Dr. Williams is arrogant. I've sent people to invite him several times, but he refused and even beat up my secretary and others."Sarah still looked imposing, "So today, I canceled a few meetings to come personally."
Hearing this, Eugene and Lucy relaxed. It turned out the Howard family wasn't backing James, they were actually displeased with him.
This made things simpler. Let James treat Simon first, then arrest him afterward.
James looked at Sarah and smiled. Sarah was indeed proud, never lowering her status, and now using the situation to pressure him.
Mia and her group, who had just relaxed, tensed up again.
"James, come with me to Peach Blossom Villa No. 3." Sarah raised her pretty face, looking like she had James cornered, "As long as you cure my father, I'll call Mr. Morris and plead for you."
It was a vague promise. Afterward, they could let James live or die, and the Howard family wouldn't be blamed.
Alexa, standing behind, also looked smug. She wiggled her sexy high-heeled sandals, gloating at James.
She was waiting for James to bow his head.
James replied bluntly, "I'll save your father if you kneel for a day."
Lucy glanced arrogantly at James. "Bastard, saving Mr. Howard is a blessing for you, and you dare to refuse?"
Sarah stopped Eugene and the others from speaking, stepped forward, and smiled at James, "Do you really not know your situation?"
"You've killed people and offended Mr. Morris. Without my plea, your clinic won't survive, and neither will you. Your family might even get dragged into this. You're in this sorry state, and yet you're still trying to put on airs with your little bit of medical knowledge. Don't you find it ridiculous?" She snorted arrogantly, "Whether to save my father is up to you."
She believed that in such a high-pressure situation, she could decide James' life or death.
James said calmly, "Kneel for two days."
Sarah's pretty face darkened, "I'll give you three minutes. If you don't seize this opportunity, you'll lose your life."
James made his stance clean, "No need for three minutes. I can tell you now, I won't save him."
"James, you're really courting death, refusing even Miss Howard's offer."Eugene pulled out his gun and shot at James' feet. "If you don't agree to Miss Howard, I'll destroy everyone in your clinic."
Arrogant!
James retorted, "You'll pay for what you've done."
Eugene sneered.
At that moment, a foot suddenly kicked Eugene in the back.
Fast and ruthless.
Eugene stumbled forward, almost falling, but Lucy and the others caught him in time.
He turned back angrily.
His expression changed.
Riley, playing with a knife, swaggered over with her people, looking arrogant, "Because he's the son-in-law of the Walker family, he is my man. Is that enough?"
She slapped Eugene, knocking him to the ground again.
