Chapter 292 Goodbye, Liam

Liam, who had transferred to River County only last month, had already gotten the lay of the land onthe Hayes brothers. After Brittany asked him to check out Greenfield, he discovered the havoc theupstream coal mine had wreaked on the village, causing deadly environmental pollution andnumerous fatalities. There had also been a mining accident that was hushed up, with nocompensation for the victims. These injustices demanded Liam's attention.

As a member of the county legislature, he had a duty to ensure that the citizens of River Countycould live their lives peacefully and safely.

Seeing Liam arrive, Daniel immediately put away his gun. Good, spotting Liam, seemed to see asavior and rushed to him, sobbing and sniffling as he reported the incident. "Liam! This country boy,he puffed up my face and stole the gun from my officer, he pointed it at me!"

Liam glanced over at Daniel and asked, "Did you swell up Good's face?"

Daniel nodded unapologetically and answered, "Yes, I did."

"Why did you slap him?"

"I didn't slap him out of personal spite. I did it on behalf of the ordinary folk of River County! TheHayes have troubled this place for too long, and a few slaps are just a minor reprimand. As for thecrimes they have committed, I trust the law will decide their punishment. Now, I'm handing theHayes brothers over to you, Liam. Don't let the people of River County down. I hope you give justiceto those they've tormented."

Good erupted at Daniel's words. "Liam, don't listen to this country punk's nonsense—he'sslandering me! He assaulted me and stole my gun. These are crimes! We have to arrest him; wehave to put him in jail! If we don't get rid of such bad elements, there will be more of them, and thecounty will be harder to manage!"

"Bad elements? Daniel? In my eyes, Daniel is ridding the county of a menace. He's done well! Anddon't think I'm unaware of the misdeeds you and your brother have committed. I've already had mypeople gather evidence of your crimes!"

With firm resolve, Liam issued his orders to the uniformed officers. "Take the Hayes brothers andany accomplices into custody. Now!"

As a legislator, Liam's commands were absolute, and the officers complied. Thus, the Hayesbrothers were handcuffed and taken away.

With Liam's departure, everyone on site was left bewildered. What on earth just happened? Wasthis real life or some sort of dramatic TV plot?

Brittany turned to Emily, "You knelt so quickly—doesn’t your knee hurt? Kneeling to a bully like that,isn't it a disgrace?"

"A disgrace? The real disgrace is that country punk! Do you know who he's offended? He's crossedthe Hayes brothers! Good and Dylan won't easily fall. Even if Liam took them in, they'll be releasedsoon enough. And once the Hayes are free, judging by that country punk's actions, he's as good asdead. Our family might get dragged down too!" Emily retorted.
