A moment later, Nataniel stopped smiling and gave a slight nod to the sheriff.
The sheriff immediately stepped forward and said sternly, "Mr. Lynch, please come with us!"
As Jacob was still holding his daughter, he suppressed the surging fury in his heart. He narrowed his eyes, glanced at the sheriff and his people, and said coldly, "Are you stopping me from having dinner with my daughter?"
The atmosphere at the hotel entrance was tense. The sky above them was thick with storm clouds. Suddenly, lightning flashed across the sky with a loud boom.
"I…" The sheriff was trembling. His face had turned pale.
Useless bunch of trash!
Nataniel grumbled in his mind. He rolled his eyes before stepping out and saying loudly, "Mr. Lynch, it is only a simple investigation. You wouldn't want to show bad manners before your child, right?"
Jacob looked at his daughter's big and shining eyes. He frowned slightly and quickly withdrew his angry and intimidating demeanor.
Then, he considered briefly and nodded. "Sure, I'll go with you."
Willow's eyes widened with shock. She walked up the steps and said, "Sir!"
Jacob pursed his lips and replied, "What else can I do? Should I wipe out these people in front of my
daughter and leave Central Federation with her?"
But…
Willow's eyes become downcost.
Jocob smiled with o hint of orrogonce ond soid, "It's only on investigotion. They con't do onything to me. I'll leove my fomily with you when I'm gone, so pleose toke good core of them."

"Everything's fine." Jocob honded his doughter over to him ond smiled. "Dod, you should heod in for dinner. I'll come bock here to meet with you oll ofter I've finished ossisting the police with their investigotion."

Jocob glonced ot him ond soid, "Complete your tosks here. We sholl begin the revenge ofter my return."
But…
Willow's eyes became downcast.
Jacob smiled with a hint of arrogance and said, "It's only an investigation. They can't do anything to me. I'll leave my family with you when I'm gone, so please take good care of them."
Willow remained silent for a moment before nodding.
Then, Jacob looked at his daughter and smiled. "I have to leave with the police officers for a while. Stay here and be a good girl, okay?"
Heidi looked at him with her big eyes and nodded. "I'll be good."
"Jay, is everything alright?" Franklin asked as he reached out to take Heidi from Jacob.
"Everything's fine." Jacob handed his daughter over to him and smiled. "Dad, you should head in for dinner. I'll come back here to meet with you all after I've finished assisting the police with their investigation."
Nataniel's mask gleamed. His mouth curved into a sneer.
"Sir?" Jerry came over with the Dragon Guardians and Shadow Rangers when he saw Jacob about to
leave with the police officers.
Jacob glanced at him and said, "Complete your tasks here. We shall begin the revenge after my return."
Jerry nodded slowly.
Then, he looked at Nataniel fiercely. "There have better not be any tricks. Otherwise, I won't hesitate to retaliate!"
Nataniel laughed and said, "Haha, is that a threat?"
"You don't believe it? I dare you to try." Jerry's gaze turned threatening.
Jacob walked to Nataniel and said indifferently, "Let's go."
The people gathered at the entrance either looked worried or indifferent as Jacob left with Nataniel and the others.
Half an hour later, Jacob stood before the detention cell at Station No. 7 and narrowed his eyes. His tone was cold and mildly threatening as he asked, "What is the meaning of this?"
Nataniel sounded sincerely apologetic as he answered, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lynch. The investigation procedure has to be altered slightly due to what happened today."
Jacob did not say anything but looked at him. Intimidating energy gushed out of Jacob like turbulent waves.
Nataniel turned pale as he sensed the threatening aura. He clenched his fist and said, "Mr. Lynch, since you are already here, would it be too much to ask you to wait for us to finish some urgent matters before conducting the investigation?"
