Chapter 154: Not A Criminal

Mia was relieved when she saw the smile on Ryan's face. She then answered the man's greeting, "What a coincidence to meet you today."

"Yes, I happen to be looking for lunch. Then I saw Mrs. Mia was escorting this criminal. But why don't you handcuff him? What if he runs away? He may attack and take people hostage!"

In the middle of his words, Ryan looked at Jason with a worried face. His acting really deserved thumbs up.

Jason's frown deepened as he heard the blatant sarcasm.

Mia felt so happy inside at the fact that Ryan was really good at embarrassing people.

"This person is not a criminal." But in the end, Mia had to explain the truth. "He is my superior's guest of honor, and I'm on duty to escort him these few days,"

"Guest of honor?" Ryan's face looked surprised. He then laughed awkwardly. "Then, sorry for my harsh words earlier. After all, his face looks like a peddler... Ah I don't mean that, it's all my fault so I'm sorry,"

Fault? But why did his face say otherwise?

Holding back his anger, Jason only gave a cold snort as he said, "I forgive you this time, but the next time you insult me ​​again, you will have to suffer a terrible fate."

Ryan just looked at him with a smile. "Thank you sir. You really have a big heart, surely you are a generous eminent person. But why does your face look so cruel? Are you a former gangster?"

Mia almost laughed out loud at Ryan's words. The man kept commenting on Jason's face which looked cruel and didn't hesitate to offend him. more. How could a guest of honor be a former gangster? 

When he heard the praise at the beginning of Ryan's words, Jason already felt he was above the clouds. But when he heard his next words, he became angry again with that person.

"Hmm, is my face that scary?" Jason asked, trying to calm himself.

Ryan was seen shaking his head and said, "Ah, but people shouldn't judge a book by its cover. But your face is scary, I'm afraid children will cry when they see your face,"

Hearing negative comments about him, Jason finally couldn't stand it and his anger was overflowing.

He didn't care about the children of this town, he came to this small town just to do business and have fun with a few women.

"Mrs. Mia, if you're free, maybe you can accompany me to eat? I want to discuss the matter from the other day," Ryan pretended to see the hour then looked at Mia.

Mia knew Ryan was giving her a way out of this place, but she was still stuck in a difficult choice.

Seeing that he was ignored, Jason then said coldly to Mia, "Don't forget your future career is in my hand. If you still want to be a police officer then you must obey my words."

Hearing these words, Mia's face immediately turned sullen and disgusted.

Ryan suddenly looked at Jason and said loudly, "I don't care who you are but when I'm talking to people, don't ever interrupt me. Otherwise I will kick you out of this city,"

Short and arrogant, Ryan's threats sounded real.

The man's face looked grim at this point, as if he wanted to challenge Jason to a fight. Mia was surprised to see it. Too bad Ryan didn't work as an actor.

"Oh, really? Can you though?" Jason snorted coldly. "I don't think a rude person like you could do something like that. I can crush you with just a snap of a finger. Listen, boy, I am Jason from Batavia city's Kruger family."

Jason closed his eyes, simply saying his origin usually was enough to make people run away in fear. The Kruger family was really famous in Batavia. Their strength was rooted deep in the city and the hearts of the people.

However, Ryan's next words made Jason want to vomit blood.

"The Kruger family from Batavia? Who is that?"

Ryan was not sure that the Kruger family was that strong because he himself never heard of it. So why would he be afraid? And even if he had known about them, still, why should he be afraid?

Jason opened his eyes and looked at Ryan with a confused face. His expression quickly turned to anger. He immediately told Ryan the legendary history of the Kruger family. 

Still, no matter how big and solid the rock was, it would still lose to a paper in a hand game. In other words, Ryan would still be able to beat anyone with prominent names throughout Crimea even if he was just a plain, ordinary man. 

After he finished telling the history of his family, Jason was limping and said, "All you need to know is that the Kruger family is not an opponent you want to fight. One word from them and this city will be completely destroyed in one night,"

After seeing Ryan's amazed expression, Jason was satisfied. A plain guy like Ryan should waver at the name of his family.

However, Ryan looked at Mia and asked, "Have you ever heard of the Kruger family from Batavia?"

"Nope," Mia shook her head, she never heard that family name.

Ryan then looked at Jason and said, "Look, no one has ever heard of your boasting. I also come from a large family in this city, one word from me can drag this city down to the bottomless dark pit. I can even ask the mayor of Avalerion city to step down from his position! So don't keep bragging, it's not good to spread fake news. If the Kruger family does have such strength, why are you still on earth? You better conquer Mars."

Ryan's words almost made Jason vomit blood. How come the big name that the Kruger family had built up could be belittled by young thugs like this. He felt ashamed to have argued with a dumbhead like him.

"I'm sick of arguing with you, hurry and go before I get angry. Otherwise, don't blame me if you get your leg or arm broken."

"Wow, you're still bragging." Ryan shook his head. "Alright, how about this? I will go with Mia and talk about our problems and you don't bother us,"

Hearing these words, Mia glared at Ryan. 'Who really wants to go with you?'

Suddenly, a loud laughter sounded at this moment.

"Sometimes, people don't realize how much danger they're involved in," Jason muttered to himself then gave Ryan a cold stare.

"You think people will get scared seeing that look in your eyes?" Ryan snorted coldly. "Come here, show me the strength of the Kruger family."

Arrogant!

At these words, Jason couldn't take it anymore. After a few slow steps, his whole body shot out like an arrow. Taking advantage of his speed, he aimed for Ryan's chest and was about to give this rude boy his lethal punch.

Jason did not hold back at all. This attack could kill people very easily.

Although he was a bit reluctant to make a fuss by killing people, Jason was completely fed up with Ryan's attitude. And if this murder case got into the spotlight, he would use his connections to get away from the charges.

Jason was already very confident that he could silence his opponent, but sometimes expectations didn't match reality.

Since he was a trusted subordinate of the Kruger family, he had studied ancient martial arts since he was young. So far, no opponent was worthy enough to experience his true strength.

However, his opponent this time managed to deflect his attack! And judging by his expression, this opponent didn't even use any strength to block his attacks!

Ryan caught Jason's fist with only his left hand. No matter how much Jason rebelled, he simply couldn't pull his hand away.

Ryan grinned. "Is this all?"

When Jason heard this mockery, he became even angrier. His left hand quickly attacked Ryan's face. This attack was fast and powerful, but Ryan hit Jason's fist with his own!

Their fists clashed in the air and the sound of cracking bones could be heard clearly.

Under this unexpected attack, Jason took a step back. Ryan had let go of his grip. Jason seemed unable to stop retreating and in the end, he fell and sat on the ground.

He felt excruciating pain from his index and middle fingers. It was clear that the sound of the fracture came from Jason's finger bone.

How could this happen?

Jason looked at Ryan with surprise and anger. Wasn't that brat just a plain street thug? There was no way someone like that could beat him! Or did he use a hidden weapon?

Seeing Ryan's calm face, Jason was afraid that he would be finished.

Ryan then shook his head. "It turns out that all of your boasting earlier was just a hyperbole. Strong family my ass! By having you as their subordinate, the Kruger family must be just a trash family,"

"Shut your mouth!"
