Chapter 186 Oblivious Officers
As Dom said this, he hurried up to the house and helped Margaret steady herself.
However, he kept his eyes on Wynter as he asked, “A–Are you all right, Dr. Genius?”
Dom had no idea what a bunch of riff–raff was doing at Wynter’s house. His leaders would kill him if Wynter was hurt, especially since she was in his care.
His throat went dry as he tried to come up with an explanation for when he returned later.
Wynter shook her head, her delicate features revealing nothing as she said, “These two men claim to be officers on duty.”
Dom glowered at the two uniformed men. “Officers? Where are your collar numbers then?”
Neither of the uniformed men was intimidated by Dom, who was stout and had shown up riding a humble motorbike.
One of them sneered, “This isn’t the place or time for bravado, little man. Move!”
In all his years of working, this was the first time Dom had been condescended to. “What did you just call me?”
“Didn’t you hear me?” The officer who had spoken earlier raised his stun baton and snarled viciously, “Move or I’ll show you what happens to people who obstruct an officer on duty!”
Lucas frowned at the officer’s threat. “Which precinct are you two from? Is this the way you carry out your formal duties?”
“We don’t have to tell you anything!” one of the men retorted.
The two men were used to being domineering. They couldn’t care less about any powerless civilian. “Now, move before we take all of you down to the police station!”
Dom’s blood boiled when he heard this. “I’d like to see which of you two idiots would dare
to touch us!”
“That’s it, little man. You’re coming with us!” One of the officers grew angry and made to
punch Dom.
Suddenly, there was a loud thud. With a smooth high–kick, Wynter had managed to send the officer flying across the alleyway.
Her indifferent gaze seemed to imply that she had only refrained from using violence because she hadn’t felt like it.

The remaining officer’s hand was trembling as he clutched his stun baton and called for help.
“Requesting for back–up at $1, Waterview Alley! An officer’s been assaulted. i repeat, an officer’s been assaulted!” he cried into the phone.
Things were getting out of hand now that the real police were alerted.
Dom was unruffled. “Don’t worry, Dr. Genius. Once those officers get here, my friend here will teach them a lesson!”
Lucas could tell what the issue was right away. “There’s something wrong here,” he concluded, his tone gentle but firm.
“There is. I wasn’t planning on kicking him because I didn’t want to be blamed for assaulting a police officer. But I can’t let them hurt the both of you, either,” Wynter explained.
She knew from a glance that Lucas was not the simple civilian he portrayed himself to be. She went on to say, “I’ll go with the police officers later. Could you please stay here with my grandma, Mr. Fisher?”
Dom’s eyes
widened. “My friend and I won’t allow them to take you away for questioning.” Unfortunately, being too high up on the social food chain had its disadvantages.
None of the officers who showed up to bring Wynter in for questioning recognized Dom. They had never so much as heard of Lucas, who had yet to be sworn in as the new Secretary-
General.
The police ended up bringing everyone at the scene into the Ravenwood police precinct for questioning.
That said, they left Margaret untouched after considering her old age.
Wanda had plotted this right from the beginning. She did not use her family’s connections, either. It was a simple task she could accomplish on her own.
The captain of the Ravewood police precinct would, of course, be fair in his judgment.
Dom’s suit had creased under the police officers‘ rough manhandling. He snapped at them, This is against the law!”
None of the officers paid him any mind as they handcuffed him.
