Chapter 368

Quentin Haggiske leaned against the car and smoked a cigarette, looking around from time to time, his face looking a little impatient.

“Knock, knock ……” The accomplice hidden in the car knocked on the glass and pointed to his watch, “Quentin, wasn’t the appointment nine o’clock? It’s ten past nine now.”

“I called him on his cell phone, he’s not answering. Wait another ten minutes, and if that asshole gets scared out of his wits, we’ll go to the bar.” Quentin Haggiske was also a little agitated; he’d arrived at eight-forty in order to ambush him early, and now he’d been waiting for half an hour.

“Wooo……”

Just at this moment, a Mercedes G500 drove over, and Quentin Haggiske’s eyes were attracted to it.

He didn’t think it was Luke’s car, but was simply attracted by the rough, domineering appearance of the luxury car.

However, to his surprise, the car actually pulled over, the driver’s door opened, and a dark-haired man in a black leather jacket stepped out of the car.

“FUCK, another rich asshole.” Quentin Haggiske was really surprised, he didn’t think Luke could afford to drive a car like this.

He also had some speculations about Luke’s identity, he had been paying attention to the Danny Carter X-assault case, and when he learned that Danny Carter’s car was found by the police, and also found evidence of exoneration from the car recorder, he felt that this matter was not simple.

Luke is most likely a private investigator hired by Danny Carter to find favorable evidence for Danny Carter’s exoneration.

Are all private detectives so rich now?

Bah, see how I’ll clean you up in a while.

Luke came over with a smile, “Sorry I’m late.”

“I can feel that your legs and stomach are shaking with fear, is that why you came late?” Quentin Haggiske revealed a disdainful look.

“Quentin, there’s no need to be so mean, what happened before is in the past, how about we get along?”

Quentin Haggiske revealed a cold smile, when he thought of being tortured by Luke last time, he had a belly full of fire, how could he get along with Luke peacefully, the more Luke acted breezily, the angrier he became.

“Bah!” Quentin Haggiske spat a mouthful of spit into the ground, “I’ll get along with you if you eat it.”

Luke shrugged, “Then there’s no talk.”

“I’m not here to negotiate with you, I’m here to beat you up, and I’ll pay you back twice as much for the way you tortured me.”

Luke said, “Are you sure you can handle me?”

“Of course, you’re a piece of shit, and if you didn’t have a gun that day, there’s no way you’d have been a match for me.” With that said, Quentin Hagsucker slapped his hand and the door of the black sedan opened and two black men stepped out of the car.

“You brought others?”

Quentin Haggiske lifted his shirt with his left hand, revealing the pistol pinned on his waist, and pointed his right index finger at Luke, “3 people, 3 guns, you’re dead.”

As he spoke, the two black men also lifted their clothes, revealing two black pistols.

One of the black men wearing a gold chain chided, “Hey, white-skinned pig, I’ve been waiting for you for half a day, hurry up and get over here.”

“Are you talking about me?”

“Is there any white-skinned pig here besides you?”

Luke stepped forward and lifted his leather jacket as well.

“Hey, hey, don’t move, we’ve got three guns, and if you try to reach for them, you’ll instantly have three more holes in your body.” Quentin Haggiske threatened.

Quentin Haggiske was not prepared to use a gun, they had enough advantage in numbers to easily subdue Luke, using a gun instead might lead to trouble.

Luke said, “I’m not holding a gun, see what else is on my belt?”

The black man wearing a gold chain took a closer look, and his two eyes were bigger than copper bells, “Police …… badge ……

Are you a police officer?”

“That’s right, are you guys going to assault the police?”

The black man wearing a gold chain showed a curt expression, “NoNoNo, I didn’t mean that, I was just kidding.”

Luke looked over at the black man with the lip ring, “You’re going to assault a police officer?”

“NoNoNo, I’m here for a walk.”

“Yeah? I thought you guys were the thugs that Quentin Haggiske brought in.”

“NoNoNo, we don’t know him, just passing through.” The black man wearing a gold chain glared at Quentin Haggiske, already hating him in his heart.

Who’s wrong for this idiot to mess with, but to mess with the police?

Luke slightly sidestepped his head, “Get lost!”

The two black helpers were like amnesties, turning around and running away, not even looking at Quentin Haggiske.

At this time, Quentin Haggiske was also dumbfounded, surprised, “Are you really a cop? The police badge can’t be fake.”

Luke took out his pistol from his pocket, “Get down on the car!”

“FUCK! again! I’m not going to turn around and you’ll sneak up on me from behind.”

“You refuse to cooperate with the police, that’s resisting arrest, and if you try to resist you’re assaulting the police.

I know you have a gun on you, so I have a legitimate reason to shoot, do as I say if you don’t want to die.”

“Are you really a cop?” Quentin Haggiske remained a little skeptical.

“You can try?”

“Damn! You assholes, you’re unbelievable.”

“Hands on the car!” Luke finished, examined him physically, and retrieved a pistol from his body.

“This is evidence that you assaulted a police officer.”

“I didn’t, I have a legal license to carry a gun.”

“I don’t care.”

Quentin Haggiske gave an angry, helpless look, “What the hell do you want?”

“I just want to have a nice talk with you.”

“Talk about what?”

“Talk about Billie Warwick.”

Quentin Hagsucker asked back, “Are you a cop, or a detective?”

“It doesn’t matter, you just have to answer the questions honestly.”

“What do you want to ask?”

“Last time, you said you had an affair with Billie Warwick, is that true?”

“Why are you asking that question? Are you asking as a police officer or as a private detective?

Besides, it’s a private matter that belongs to me, and there seems to be no need to tell you about it.”

“OK, since you are not willing to cooperate, I can only arrest you for assaulting a police officer.”

Quentin Haggiske revealed an angry look, “What a despicable bastard, the first time he used a gun to sneak attack, the second time he threatened with the identity of a police officer, I despise you.”

“I need you to look down on me?”

“If you dare to fight me squarely and convince me.

I can answer your questions.

And not in this way.

I hate dealing with scumbags.”

“I’m a scumbag?” Luke laughed, “Last time in the garage, you were the one who attacked me from behind first, and if I wasn’t alert enough, I would have already been knocked out by you from behind.

This time, the two of us agreed to meet alone, but you brought two helpers.

If I am a scumbag, then what are you?”

“OK, let’s not talk about what happened before.

How about we fight one-on-one? Like a real man.

If you win, I’ll tell you everything I know.

If you lose, we don’t owe each other anything, and I won’t say anything.” Quentin Haggiske had his own little plan in mind, rather than be threatened by Luke for assaulting a police officer, he would fight.

He was physically fit and often fought and brawled, he was still confident in his own strength.

By beating up Luke, he could also get out a mouthful of bad anger.

Luke also pulled out his pistol and put it on the car, “Then let’s fight.”

After all, Luke was working part-time, the so-called arresting him for assaulting a police officer was just to scare the other party, and it would be a trouble if he really went into the police station on the line.

Moreover, Danny Carter’s civil lawsuit settlement still needed Quentin Hagsucker’s help, and the best way to achieve his purpose was to cajole and deceive.

Luke took off his jacket, removed his badge and put it on the car, and waved, “Come on.”

Quentin Haggiske clenched his fists, “First things first, we’re volunteering to compete, don’t lose the fight then say I assaulted a police officer.”

“Cut the crap, as long as you can beat me down, you can go anywhere you want, no one will stop you.”

“Don’t cry your eyes out later.” Quentin Haggiske clenched his hands into fists and placed them on either side of his cheeks in a boxing stance.

Against this kind of punk, Luke was still more experienced, most of them were bullies, the best way was to beat him into submission.

Luke was prepared to fight quickly and defeat his opponent with an overwhelming advantage, the stronger he showed, the easier it would be for Quentin Haggiske to submit.

After assuming a boxing stance, Quentin Haggiske began to take the initiative and stride toward Luke, who assumed a defensive stance.

Quentin Haggiske steps forward, Luke steps back.

Quentin Haggiske fakes a left jab and throws a right to Luke’s head, Luke sidesteps and ducks, backing up again.

Not stopping, Quentin Haggiske continues to swing his left fist at Luke.

Luke blocks with his right arm, but, this time, he doesn’t back away again and lands a left hook with his left hand on Quentin Haguesque.

Quentin Haggiske rushes to block and dodge as well.

Luke used a combo, swinging his right arm and punching his opponent in the stomach.

Luke’s punches were fast and hard, directly hitting his opponent’s abdomen.

“Bang!”

Quentin Haggiske ate the pain and his body spasmed.

Luke took advantage of the situation and stepped forward, grabbing the opponent’s body, directly coming with a hold.

“Bang!” This time the fall was even harder, directly blinding Quentin Haggiske.

Luke didn’t mean to stop, slamming at his head for a while before taking the opportunity to hold his opponent’s neck in a Naked Choke.

“Uhhhh ……”

Quentin Haggiske let out a burst of pain from his mouth and grabbed Luke’s arm with his hand.

Luke had no intention of stopping and tightened the stranglehold harder on his opponent’s neck as Quentin Haggiske’s face reddened and his strength diminished.

Luke didn’t stop and didn’t lay a death grip, it was like simmering a hawk, keeping the other man in a state of oxygen deprivation.

Quentin Haggiske’s face showed a look of pain and fear, as long as Luke’s arm was harder, he would definitely suffocate.

This feeling …… is very powerless and terrible.

I don’t know how long it took before Luke let go of his arm.

“Ahem ……”

Quentin Haggiske slumped to the ground, coughing hard and breathing heavily.

Luke put on his leather jacket, put on his pistol, and stared at Quentin Haggiske, who was half-recumbent on the ground, “Wanna try that again?”

“No, I’m convinced ……

If you had defeated me last time in a dignified manner, I wouldn’t have had any thoughts of revenge.” Quentin Haggiske revealed a helpless look.

Luke’s status was higher than him, his strength was stronger than him, and his hands were tougher than him, so he only had the part of admitting defeat.

There was no shame in losing to such a person.

“What do you want to know? Ask.”

“Your relationship with Billie Warwick?”

“She was my best friend’s girlfriend and I slept with her. Of course, she liked me a lot too, said I was better than his boyfriend.”

“Do you have any evidence of being with her?”

“What do you want?”

“You don’t need to know.”

“I remember the time and place of each date, and the hotel where I got a room.”

Luke pulled out a paper and pen, “Write down the time and place of each of your dates, and also, I need you to disappear for a few days and have absolutely no contact with Billie Warwick.”

“I only agreed to answer questions, I didn’t promise to do anything for you.”

“Wait.” Luke finished, returned to the Mercedes under the uncomprehending gaze of Quentin Haggiske, and emerged again with an envelope in his hand, which he tossed to Quentin Haggiske.

“Write down the details of your date and the money is yours.”

Quentin Haggiske opened the envelope and looked at it, “You want to buy me off with money? A sealing fee?”

“No, it’s an informant’s fee, as of today, you’re my informant.”

“Wait, I didn’t say I was going to be your informant.”

“If you refuse, I’ll arrest you for assaulting a police officer.”

“You can’t do that!”

“You can try and see if I can.”

Luke had only one informant now, nowhere near enough, and he had tossed around the idea that he couldn’t let Quentin Haggiske off easy.

Developing him as an informant now would save him from talking around.

Quentin Haggiske looked at the envelope again, “Do you pay every time?”

“Sure.”

“That much every time?”

“That depends on the difficulty of the task.”

“What do you want with Billie Warwick?”

“First rule of informants, don’t ask what you shouldn’t.”

Quentin Haggiske, obviously not yet a competent informant, pressed, “Are you trying to get Billie Warwick to drop the charges?”

“You knew about this?”

“Yes. Her boyfriend and I work together, and they’re going to sue in civil court for a large sum of money.

She’d hate me if she knew I was helping you.”

“First of all, I’m just trying to reach a settlement with her with this information.

Second, you want to keep sleeping with her? Not afraid she’ll falsely accuse you of rape like she falsely accused Danny Carter?”

“OK, I can give it to you, but I won’t testify.”

Quentin Hagsucker looked at the envelope and picked up the pen on the floor ……

The following morning.

Kervis Law Firm.

Daisy was buried in a pile of papers as she went through the information about Billie Warwick.

Cases involving settlements, in addition to the relevant evidence, play or psychological warfare, only to understand the opponent, in order to grasp the advantage and the first opportunity.

“Buzz.”

Daisy’s cell phone rang, it was a voice from Luke, “I’ve collected some evidence that might be useful to you.”

Daisy clicked on it and it stated when and where Billie Warwick had cheated on her boyfriend with other men during their relationship.

This evidence was important and Daisy asked, “Can I get the person Billie Warwick cheated on her to testify?”

“No, he won’t testify.

However, I can get him out of touch for a few days.”

Daisy smiled, “OK, I see what you mean.”

Luke said, “Also, from what I’ve gotten, the reason Billie Warwick filed a civil suit for damages has something to do with her boyfriend egging her on behind the scenes.”

The two chatted some more before Daisy hung up her cell phone.

Daisy continued to bury her head in her hands and review the information and data about Billie Warwick’s boyfriend.

The two leads Luke had provided were important and might be key in the settlement negotiations.

At four o’clock in the afternoon, Daisy dialed Billie Warwick’s attorney.

“Attorney Robin, do you have time tomorrow?”
