Empire of Shadows

Chapter 810: Are They All Here?

  • Next Chapter

The four police cars slowly approached the villa. Alan looked at the two police cars that were already parked outside the villa with some surprise.

Alan turned his head and glanced at Elvin. Elvin’s one hand had already quietly rested on his handgun, but the security guard sitting next to him did not notice any of this.

The security guard’s attention was all on those police cars. He had just remembered that the police had already been here in the afternoon.

At this time, he was also very confused. There were already police here. How could someone still call the police?

He had not thought that the police officers around him were all impersonators, because a batch of police officers had indeed already been here before. He had just treated it as someone playing a prank.

And the service in a high-end community did not allow him to make a decision without figuring it out when facing this kind of situation. He had to ensure the safety of the owner before he would leave here.

The four police cars slowly pulled over outside the villa. The car doors were opened one after another, and a group of neatly dressed police officers got out of the cars. The two thugs who were standing outside the villa saw these people.

The security guard from the community took the initiative to walk over and introduced them. “You two, the police officer says that someone has reported a crime here, saying that there is an illegal trespasser.”

“Can you have Mr. Matthew or his wife come out for a moment?”

The security guard’s expression was a little subtle, because he did not know these two thugs, and he could feel that they were not good people.

One of them had a large area of tattoos on his neck. He subconsciously looked back at Elvin and the others.

These police officers had given him some courage, which had made him not leave and call for backup.

The thug was a little annoyed. “Nothing is happening here. Get out of here!”

Originally, their days were very comfortable. In a strip club, they didn’t really need to do anything.

Their daily work was just to find a place to sit, and then to watch the striptease show for free. Occasionally, they could even play some games that only adults could play with those dancers.

It wasn’t that they had taken the initiative to conduct a “sexual blackmail,” but that the dancers, in order to avoid trouble, or hoping to be able to establish a long-term mutual care relationship with them, would occasionally provide them with some extra services for free.

Maybe it was some oral sex, and maybe it was some real combat.

In short, it was very happy in the club, but here?

They had to fucking stand from the afternoon until eight or nine in the evening, and then there would be another two unlucky bastards who would come over to relieve them, and they would stand until the next morning.

There were only a few of them in total, working in three shifts here. During the day, it wasn’t that there was nothing to do at all. They also had to take a walk around the yard for no reason.

So these thugs were in a very bad mood, and they were very annoyed.

Elvin adjusted his belt. This belt was a little big, which would make his pants look like they were hanging on his butt. He walked in front of the two. “Someone has reported that this place has been invaded. I don’t fucking care who you are. Either have the master of the house come out, or we go in.”

The thug’s gaze lingered on Elvin’s face for a moment, and then he looked down at the holster on his waist, a holster with its safety strap undone, which meant that the other party could draw his gun at any time.

With the help of truth, the thug’s emotions were brought under some control. “I guarantee, nothing has happened here…”

Elvin didn’t listen to his explanation. His hand was also on the grip of his gun. He even took a step back.

It was this one step back that made the two thugs feel their scalps tingle.

They raised their hands. “Calm down, officer. I’ll inform the owner of the house now.”

The other person walked to the side of the courtyard gate. There was a communication intercom device here. They had already learned how to use it when they were on duty for the first time.

After two days of stability, Matthew’s wife’s emotions had stabilized a lot, and she had also been on the phone with Police Captain Matthew these two days.

On the phone, Police Captain Matthew would certainly not say those unpleasant things. When he learned that his wife’s younger brother and a few thugs had also moved into his villa, the police captain, who had not been very fond of that kid before, had also, for some reason, developed a feeling of “it’s still relatives who are reliable.”

To be able to contact him, and to look like it was indeed not so bad, Police Captain Matthew’s wife’s emotions had stabilized. Now, besides the fact that there seemed to be more than a dozen people in the house, it was actually not much different from the past.

The two children had been bored at home for two days. They had been clamoring for their uncle to take them to the amusement park.

This had made the younger brother-in-law promise many things to get them to give up the idea.

At this time, it was not much time before dinner. The whole family was gathered in the living room, watching television.

Television is really a good thing. Although in Lance’s eyes, it was still just an antique, for the people of this era, this was the most advanced entertainment facility!

A price of over a thousand also determined that it was a pastime that only a minority could enjoy.

The communication device in the room suddenly rang. Soon the maid had answered the communication. After about a dozen seconds, she walked into the living room from outside. “Madam, sir, the police say that someone has reported an illegal intruder here. They want to come and verify.”

Just as Matthew’s wife was about to stand up, her younger brother stopped her. “I’ll handle them. you sit.”

He walked to the side of the intercom device. “You must have gotten the wrong address. Everything is normal here. No one has reported a crime, and no one has invaded here.”

“If there’s nothing else, you can leave.”

These luxurious villas were all installed with this simple intercom device, which was also one of the core propaganda points when the houses in this community were being sold.

Technology always serves the rich first.

For those poor people, the people who lived here were like they were living in the future!

Although Elvin didn’t quite understand the principle of this thing, he knew what he was here to do.

He leaned closer to the microphone of the intercom. “Sir, before we see the owner of this house, we will not leave. If the owner of the house is fine, it would be best if we could see them.”

“Only after we have confirmed that they are fine will we leave.”

“Otherwise, we will consider calling for backup and trying to get in.”

The younger brother-in-law was stunned for a moment. He turned his head to look at his older sister, who was looking at him, and showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

He had said he could solve it, but in fact, he had not.

“Should I go out for a moment?” she said.

The younger brother-in-law considered for a moment and then shook his head. “This might be a trap. I’ll let them in. You go and call the people that Matthew has arranged to come to the living room. I’ll also call my men over.”

Matthew’s wife nodded and then walked towards the back.

Matthew’s trusted men were on the side and the back of the house. The front was the responsibility of the younger brother-in-law’s thugs, while the few police officers were in charge of the other positions.

There were also two police officers in the room. They were in a room on the second floor and could observe more than half of the villa’s situation.

Soon, the thug at the door had received his boss’s instruction and had opened the main gate for these people.

Elvin entered the villa with the security guard, on the grounds that they did not know the owner of the house and needed the security guard to personally confirm it.

To this, the security guard had no objection.

Soon the group of people had entered the room. Four people were left at the door, and the others had followed Elvin into the room.

The moment they entered the room, the atmosphere in the room was obviously a little oppressive, but no one could feel it.

There were two state police officers in the living room. Their uniforms were slightly different from the local police. They looked at these young men who had come in, their eyes filled with scrutiny.

The one walking at the very front was Elvin. He was holding a notebook in his hand. “Who is the owner of this house?”

Matthew’s wife stood up. “It’s me, sir.”

Elvin glanced at the security guard. “Is it her?”

The security guard nodded. “Yes, this is Mr. Matthew’s wife, and also the mistress here.”

Elvin took a few steps forward. He glanced at the man standing by her side. “Who is this?”

“Are you being held hostage or threatened by him?”

This question made the younger brother-in-law so angry he laughed. “Shit, this is my older sister, you know?”

“My own older sister!”

Elvin appeared unmoved. “I need this lady to answer me.”

The younger brother-in-law was about to say something, but was stopped by his older sister. “This is my younger brother. He is not holding me hostage, nor is he threatening me.”

Elvin nodded, and then looked at the two state police officers. “I don’t know you. Which branch are you from?”

Alan, who was standing on the side, almost laughed out loud. He had been wondering how Elvin was going to solve this problem, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he had taken the initiative.

The two state police officers looked at each other. “We are from the state police department.”

Elvin took another look at the two of them. “I suspect your identity. I’ll verify it later!”

He did not wait for the two state police officers to refute him, and he looked at Matthew’s wife again. “I just heard that you still have three children. Are they all okay?”

“Does anyone need our help, or… are they not being held hostage or anything?”

“You’d better have him appear in our line of sight, so that we can confirm that no one here needs help.”

He at the same time glanced at Alan. “You take your brothers and do a simple check.”

It seemed that these police officers were not bad people. Matthew’s wife relaxed her guard a little.

Only the two state police officers had a look of confusion on their faces. When had the police in Red Rock City become so responsible?

However, maybe it was because this was a rich people’s area. They actually didn’t think too much about it, and they hadn’t even considered that these people would come so quickly.

Matthew’s wife had a maid go and get the children. Soon a boy and a girl came to the living room timidly. Matthew’s wife stood behind them and put her arms around their shoulders. “Officer, these are my two children. they are fine. No one is threatening them, and no one is holding them hostage.”

The two children were also very polite and shouted, “Hello, Uncle Police.”

Elvin smiled. “The security guard said there was another child…”

“He’s at school and hasn’t come back.”

Elvin looked around. His men were already scattered and standing in the entire living room. There were no blind spots here, and no one else was hiding.

His gaze returned to Matthew’s wife. “So, is your whole family here now?”
