Chapter 473 Human Relationships
Upon hearing the mayor's order, Cyril felt as if his brain had instantly shut down.
He suddenly looked at Wayne, and abruptly remembered what the other man had said on the phone earlier: "The mayor is also an option."
At the time, he thought this ridiculous, clown-like street saint was just bluffing and even had unrealistic delusions.
But to everyone's surprise, the other party actually found the mayor!
The current mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, has a long history of involvement in the California State Legislature and the U.S. House of Representatives, focusing on issues such as people’s livelihood, housing, public safety, and immigrant rights.
While her current push for homelessness resettlement has cost a lot of money over the years with little effect, it has established her image as a people-friendly Democratic mayor.
Upon hearing Chief Jim's words, Cyril felt a chill run down his spine.
What Wayne said was true; he really did know the mayor!
Sensing Cyril's silence, Chief Jim on the other end of the phone immediately said with some displeasure:
"Sheriff Cyril, didn't you hear me? Get your men out of Slums right now! Get your Central Precinct chief to me!"
Cyril quickly said:
"Yes, Chief Jim, I think there must be some misunderstanding here. I'll take my men and leave now without alerting anyone."
He quickly hung up the phone and addressed the dozen or so men around him:
"Put down your gun immediately and get out of here!"
Upon hearing this, a subordinate standing nearby frowned and said:
"But Sheriff Cyril, they are clearly..."
"No buts!" Cyril shouted at his subordinate, his face grim.
He then quickly put his gun away, seemingly oblivious to the dense array of gun barrels in front of him, and said to Wayne with a beaming smile:
"It's a misunderstanding, Mr. Wayne. Chief Jim has already reprimanded me for my recklessness..."
"Since you're a friend of the mayor of Bath, you should have told me sooner..."
"Of course, I think the responsibility for this communication breakdown lies entirely with me, so please don't take it to heart..."
This scene immediately left all the surrounding police officers dumbfounded, hardly believing their eyes.
Is this still the same hot-tempered, arrogant Sheriff Cyril?
Moreover, although they themselves have the problem of excessive law enforcement, just now this so-called Saints gang had more than a hundred guns pointed at them, and almost turned all of them police officers into sieves.
Now you're saying it was a misunderstanding?
:
And judging from the way those Saints Gang members acted, they showed no intention of putting down their guns!
Wayne said gently:
"Sheriff Cyril, I still prefer your defiant side from earlier. I hope you can maintain that."
At this moment, Cyril was all smiles, shrugged, and hunched over, looking extremely obsequious. He quickly said:
"Haha, Mr. Wayne, you're joking. It seems my rash behavior just now upset you. Please rest assured, I swear to God, there will never be a similar misunderstanding again..."
"You and your friends are free to do whatever you like in this neighborhood, and please feel free to ask the Los Angeles Police Department for any services you require."
As he spoke, he pointed at several subordinates beside him and shouted:
"Put the gun down right now! Didn't you hear my order?!"
The police officers reluctantly put down their guns, clearly frustrated and fearful.

After all, they never imagined that this police response would involve such a big shot, enough to alarm the mayor and police chief of Los Angeles.
No one knew what awaited them when they returned to the station.
Many people instantly harbored resentment towards Cyril.
After all, they all knew that Wayne's appearance in the poor streets had indeed brought order and reduced the crime rate and police response rate. Their dispatch this time was entirely Cyril's personal will.
Now, not only have they failed to drive Wayne and his Saints away, but they've also completely destroyed them, potentially even causing their superiors to become dissatisfied with them.
It's an absolute rip-off.
Only one tall, muscular young Latino police officer remained with his gun raised, his eyes filled with stubbornness.
Cyril frowned and reprimanded the other man:
"Zane! You fucking wetback, what are you doing?! Put the gun down right now! This is Chief Jim's order!"
Zane shook his head and said:
"I am a police officer, sir, and I saw them illegally possessing firearms... These firearms could not possibly have legal documentation."
"Hey, man, do you know what the hell you're doing? You're defying the chief, and maybe even the mayor's orders?" Cyril grabbed Officer Zane's head and said.
"I've seen idiots like you. In Tennessee, a police officer pulled over the daughter of a state legislator and got fired the next day. In Little Rock, an idiot like you has been benched ever since. Now, put the gun down, right now!"
Upon hearing Cyril's words, Zane struggled for a few seconds before reluctantly putting down his gun.
His eyes were filled with humiliation and resentment, and his face was as red as if it had been boiled in red wine.
:
Wayne sighed and waved to him. Officer Zane hesitated for a moment, but still walked up to Wayne.
Wayne looked into his eyes and said:
"Zane, my friend, you have done nothing wrong. You are fulfilling your duty and upholding justice. It's just that this country doesn't support that right now."
"Furthermore, my friend, perhaps the justice you see is not true justice, and the duty you are fulfilling is not true duty."
Zain's eyes were full of hostility.
As a Mexican immigrant who had successfully obtained citizenship, he had already had enough of the corrupt police system in Mexico, but he never imagined that after going through all the hardships to come to the United States and successfully joining the Los Angeles Police Department, he would soon see the same corruption.
The fact that Wayne has gathered so many illegal gun owners on the streets of Los Angeles suggests a huge criminal conspiracy!
As a police officer, he should uphold justice and fulfill the duties entrusted to him by law.
He simply had no other choice right now...
Unexpectedly, the black-haired, black-eyed man in front of him continued speaking while looking at him:
"Zane, bring your grandmother to see me. I will bless her, take her back from the clutches of Alzheimer's, and make her remember you again."
Officer Zane shuddered, his face filled with disbelief, and muttered:
"How...how did you know...?"
But Wayne didn't look at him again; instead, he turned to Cyril and asked:
"Sheriff Cyril, you haven't answered my initial question yet."
"How much money did An give you?"
