New Gods of North America

To be fair, Wayne's impression of Damon MacCready was actually pretty good.

But one thing at a time,

So after he surrendered, Wayne left the matter of how to deal with Damon MacCready to Mr. Ben Harmon.

Logically speaking,

What Damon MacCready put in there wasn't lethal enough to be considered "poisoning," but it wasn't even close to "murder."

And although he did "illegally invade", he did not carry any weapons.

There is no problem in sending him to court.

However, it seems unnecessary to send him to the gallows, and it would be a little difficult.

——Even if we follow the Castle Rule and exercise unlimited right of self-defense to "shoot him again", it is actually a little flawed when the other party has no intention and cannot continue to commit crimes.

Unless we can ensure that all the people in the manor who know about this will not report it,

Otherwise, there is still the possibility of being sued.

Wayne and his team were commissioned as bodyguards, so when faced with an attacker, it was their duty to stand in front of their employer.

But there is no need to be too proactive in helping the employer to kill and silence the attacker after catching him.

Mr. Ben Harmon is both a client and a lawyer.

This regulatory question is exactly what I want to focus on.

After listening to Wayne's report, Mr. Ben Harmon thought about it for a while and then chose to forgive him.

However, this "forgiveness" has a prerequisite.

Then Wayne returned to the side where Damon MacCready was imprisoned:

“When we asked you just now who the instigator was, you were unwilling to say. As the bodyguards of the person involved, we respect and understand this.

"But now this is the condition officially proposed by the client - tell us who is behind you, and he will not pursue what you did tonight. Otherwise, we will hand you over to the local police according to the client's wishes. Even if you can escape from prison, you will be put on a wanted warrant by another state."

Then Wayne thought about it:

"Out of admiration for your personal qualities, if you are willing to cooperate and what you said before is true, then I can consider giving you a chance to be recruited.

"Our detective agency has a special charter from the Virginia Diocese. Within Virginia, members of the detective agency will not be persecuted by the church for their status as 'Extraordinary Persons' unless they have committed any crime."

Damon MacCready hesitated for a moment. "Can I see the 'charter' you're talking about?"

"I only have a copy on me. The original has been locked in the safe." Wayne said as he took out something.

Damon MacCready stared at the copy for a long moment:

"I don't know the specific content of the Exorcist Decree mentioned above..."

Actually, I don’t really understand…

"At least you can tell it's actually a charter from the church in Virginia."

Wayne shrugged his shoulders and looked at Damon MacCready's ankle that was injured in the explosion. "You don't need to doubt my identity as a Beyonder now. Since I dare to say this in Virginia and open a detective agency, you should be able to guess that what I said is true."

Damon McQuidy still insisted, "I need to understand the specific content of the decree. This is very important to me."

Hmm...

You are so stubborn.

Wayne glanced at Damon MacCready and said, "Wait a minute, I'll let a professional explain it to you in detail."

…

After that, Wayne learned two pieces of news that surprised him a little.

"Cohen Pharmaceuticals? Isn't that a pretty big company? It's actually an industry of the School of Life Sciences?"

Wayne had seen the company's ads in several local newspapers and felt that its business seemed to be doing well—at least it had the money to advertise.

If the School of Life Sciences' industry has become large enough to advertise in newspapers, then the scale of their development in America is really a bit unexpected.

He looked at Lina next to him with doubt. Lina, who had just finished her job as a law popularizer, shook her head and said that she didn't know about this matter either.

So the two of them focused their eyes on Damon MacCready's face next to them.

Damon MacCready doesn’t seem to be very clear about this either:

"I only know that the person who conducted this transaction with me is indeed from the School of Life Studies. And after my investigation, I found out that the company he works for is Cohen Pharmaceuticals. As for the specific relationship between Cohen Pharmaceuticals and the School of Life Studies, I don't know."

"What about the people who tried to harm Mr. Harmon before? Were they also sent by Cohen Pharmaceuticals?" Wayne asked.

Damon MacCready nodded:

"I think so, but I'm not sure. The person who made the deal with me revealed that they had failed in a previous operation, so they agreed to my request. But they didn't tell me the details."

"Then can you still contact the other party? Try to get him out, maybe we can ask him directly." Wayne said.

Damon MacCready hesitated a little, "If I do that, I will officially become enemies with him..."

"certainly."

Wayne did not deny this: "Since you were also responsible for catching criminals before, you should be able to see that anyone who would make such a deal with you would definitely not be a good person. Although we are not official, at least we are on the side of the law. Under the premise of satisfying your requirements, I think you should be able to make the right choice."

"Can you guarantee that Emma won't be hurt by this?" asked Damon MacCready.

Wayne thought for a moment, "I promise we'll do our best, just like we did to protect our employer tonight."

Damon MacCready thought about it.

Then he nodded heavily, "Okay, I'll help you."

The "request" just made by Damon MacCready was the second news that made Wayne feel a little surprised.

Although Damon MacCready was indeed concerned about the charter that Wayne had brought out,

However, the extraordinary person he asked Wayne and others to accept and protect was not himself, but the daughter of one of his dead companions.

The reason why he agreed to the deal with the School of Life was that he wanted to settle the little girl.

As for him, he planned to return to Georgia alone to look for an opportunity to take revenge on the head of the secret agency who almost wiped out their team.

What the hell.

I originally wanted to take this opportunity to recruit another Beyonder with experience as an agent to join the detective agency.

As a result, he didn't catch the big fish he had set his sights on, but instead picked up a bag.

Wayne still wanted to persuade him:

"Don't you really want to consider waiting patiently for a while? After all, your power is limited. Maybe our detective agency's business will expand to Georgia one day. By then, we can find evidence of that guy's crime and bring him to justice, or find an opportunity to shoot him on the spot."

Unfortunately, Damon MacCready was still very persistent:

"According to international practice, the trial of secret agency members will not go through a court. Even if he is arrested, he will probably avoid the death penalty through various deals. I am very clear about this.

"As for being shot on the spot... this is revenge for me and my companions. Involving outsiders is actually the same as murder. I don't intend to do that.

"So after I help you catch that person from the School of Life, I will leave."

Tsk,

Although I can understand your thoughts, why are you as stubborn as a donkey?

And why are you still wearing a maid outfit?
