Aaron was instantly dumbfounded.
What was going on? Why were the special agents seemingly targeting him instead?
However, he did not dare to act recklessly in front of those people.
Although he came from the countryside, he knew that the guy in the white shirt was someone powerful.
He stepped forward frantically and tried to greet them properly. However, a special agent knocked him to the ground with the butt of his gun.
"Move around recklessly again and you'll be killed on the spot."
The special agent's icy voice made Aaron break out in cold sweat, and he quickly got up and backed off a few steps.
Chandler, too, was a deputy minister. Although he was not as powerful as Orin Campbell, the security around him was not just for show. It was not easy for anyone to get close to him.
"What's going on, Faron?" At this moment, Chandler came to Faron's side and asked with a smile on his face.
Faron Campbell said in a low voice, "Ethan Osborn is my friend, and he came to appeal for something, but he was almost arrested. I stopped that from happening, but I received the same threat as well. After that, it went straight to death threats. You heard that too, didn’t you?"
Chandler glanced at Ethan again and immediately understood what was going on.
It was impossible for Faron to have a friend like Ethan because Faron would never have befriended someone like this. It was probably related to the other young man beside Faron.
However, he had to get things done since Faron had made a move. Otherwise, Orin would get him in trouble.
Chandler first smiled politely at Wilbur, then looked at Aaron. He said sharply, "You guys are getting so cocky. It was just a normal appeal and yet he was given death threats? Who do you think you're killing and who gave you the authority to do so?"
Aaron's knees almost gave out under Chandler's furious reprimands.
"No, sir… I can explain. I really..."
However, Chandler did not want to listen to any more excuses. He shouted, "Arrest all of them as well as the person in charge of the security brigade. Send them all for interrogation. Let's see if they have any other connections. Punish them severely."
"Yes, sir," The team leader answered. With a wave of his hand, a group of special agents knocked Aaron and others down and handcuffed them.
Aaron almost soiled himself out of fear.
He never expected name-dropping his uncle to backfire on him, and even get everyone involved into trouble too. He wondered about the identity of the people before him.
In Aaron's heart, his uncle worked as a high-ranking official and had more power than he could imagine.
When his uncle returned home for festivities, the whole county welcomed him together. There would be an endless stream of guests at home and gifts were delivered to his house by trucks. Aaron felt envious just looking at the scene.
