My Rich Harem System

Arrested

“Ethan Blackwood! You are under arrest for assault and for constituting a nuisance! Do not move!” As police officers surrounded Ethan and Ray, one of them rushed out to cuff Ethan while he frowned.

“I think you are mistaken here, police officers. I was only defending myself. This is self-defense.” Ethan replied while pulling his hand away from the officer trying to cuff him.

“I'm sorry, Mr. Ethan but that is for us to decide. We received a call and you were specifically named. If you resist arrest, we would have no choice but to use violence.” The police officer warned, trying to get Ethan’s hands again but he slipped away.

“And I say this is self-defense! You can check the CCTV footage around. And if at all I have to go to the police station, he has to come with me!” Ethan declared firmly while pointing at Ray who was leaning on his car.

“Or else, I'm going to resist this arrest, since I am not at fault here.” He added and the police officer went silent, looking at his colleague.

They could easily use force to get Ethan but knowing how he was able to scare off ten men, they didn’t want to start up a ruckus. Using their gun wasn't an option here too.

“Alright.” The police officer agreed after making eye contact with his colleagues.

Another police officer walked up to Ray, “Mr. Ray, please come with us.”

“No! There is no way I'm getting arrested with that bastard!” Ray yelled, pushing the police, and then tried to drag Becca away. The officers were at a loss on what to do because they knew who he was and even though his family went bankrupt, they couldn't act recklessly.

“Do you want another beating? Ethan spoke up and Ray halted turning to look at Ethan.

“I could easily break away from this officer and give you the beating of your life if you don't come with us.” Ethan threatened with a vicious smile and a flash of fear appeared on Ray’s face. He knew no one would save him if Ethan broke away. Willingly, he walked toward the police car while wishing he wished he could wipe that smile on Ethan’s face off.

Getting into the police car, they drove off while cramping Ethan in the car.

Seated in a dark investigation room, Ethan was getting frustrated by the unnecessary questions being asked and he could not hold his anger anymore.

“I told you, I only acted in self-defense!” He slammed his hand on the table while he glared at the impudent detective before him.

There was a crack on the table which left the detective shocked.

“H…how did you do that?” The detective asked while looking from the table to Ethan.

“That doesn't matter, can you let me go now?” Ethan asked impatiently. He had not even started to enjoy his newfound riches and now he landed himself in a police station.

“I can't do that.” The detective replied with a firm look on his face.

“You have to confess to your crimes and Ray has decided to sue you. You will be facing the judge sometime from now.” He added and Ethan laughed. His laughter increased by the second ticking the detective off.

“Is this a fucking joke? You are trying to pin a crime on me? You can check the CCTV footage and that is enough evidence you need to know that Ray attacked me first!” Ethan slammed his hand on the table a second time, this time breaking it into pieces.

“Woah!” The detective flew off his chair, wary of Ethan. How could someone possess such strength? He had watched the footage Ethan mentioned and he saw how Ethan fought off those men.

“Did he pay you to do this?” Ethan asked, sitting on his chair, trying to stay calm. But his eyes were red and cold as if he was going to strangle the detective for keeping him there.

“Well, there is nothing we can do. Mr. Ray has connections with the higher-ups and you are definitely going to jail.” The detective replied with a shrug. He looked at Ethan one last time and decided to leave since it didn't matter if Ethan confessed his crimes or not.

But before he could get to the door, he felt a presence behind him and he looked back to see Ethan just standing behind him.

“Let me out, you bastard!” Ethan grabbed the detective by the shoulder ready to slam his back on the wall. However, the door was pushed open with so much force causing him to halt his actions.

“Enough!” A female dressed in a corporate outfit yelled as she stepped into the room.
