Chapter 217: Extraordinary Genius

Michael simply shook his head. He did not want to pursue this matter further. But of course, that officer had to serve some punishment.

As he thought of that, he looked at the sergeant and said, “Just make sure that he is disciplined, to understand that despite being a police officer, that does not imply that he can just make false accusations on someone.

If he is under emotional distress, then he should vent it somewhere else, instead of on innocent civilians.”

With his human insight skill at the expert level, he was able to deduce that the police was under emotional distress. Most of the things that he was doing was because of some kind of anger.

Michael was not sure what had caused him to be angry, but no matter the reason, it was not an excuse for him to vent his anger on someone else.

“Yes, yes, yes!” The sergeant quickly nodded as he felt relieved.

If Michael decided to pursue this matter, and it was taken to those above, then it would be problematic. If it was something that even his direct superior could not handle, one could already imagine what would happen to the two of them, who were directly responsible.

While he might not be the one who was directly involved, he was still indirectly involved. After all, the subordinate that had taken action was under him, under his direct command. And, they were on duty at the same time.

Melvin got inside the car, and Michael waved at the sergeant, before he drove away, and the gazes of all the four officers.

In just a while, after the car disappeared, the sergeant finally came back to his senses. He glared at the officer, who had nearly caused them a disaster, as he said, “You are suspended for one month. Reflect on what you have done, and when you come back from suspension, your punishment will be awaiting for you.”

This time, the officer did not try to contradict anything. After all, he was completely at fault.

The accusations that he had made, none of the most viable. Michael had a driving license, though it was a special type of driving license.

As for his acquisition of some ’activities’ between Michael and Melvin, that seemed impossible, considering that Melvin had just been saved from a kidnap.

So, he quickly nodded, before he departed. He understood that this time, he had messed up big. But still, he needed to vent. And who to vent his anger to? It was obviously the person who had caused him to act irrationally.

The sergeant looked at the other remaining two officers, before he called them over. Since this checkpoint was set up here temporarily, mainly to search for traces of Melvin, there was no need for it to continue anymore.

After all, with Melvin’s appearance, it was clear that the issue regarding her kidnapping had already found a lead. They would only need to ask Melvin about who was behind the kidnapping, to find the clues that they needed to arrest the one responsible.

So, he quickly instructed the two officers that had come over, reminding them to be polite whenever they handled people. Additionally, he described to them the appearance of the driver’s license that Michael had in possession.

This way, they could avoid an incident like this from happening in the future.

But just after he was done instructing the two officers, his phone suddenly began ringing. Looking at the caller, he realized that it was his direct superior.

He thought that she was calling to ask about this holder of the master class driving license. So, after taking a deep breath, he received the call

“What is going on there? I was just informed that you were causing trouble for the person who had just been kidnapped not long ago? Miss Walter has just been rescued, and you were actually making accusations on her?” The lady on the other side seemed quite furious.

The sergeant could not help but tremble slightly. He could detect the anger in the voice of his superior.

With a trembling voice, he explained, “I’m sorry about that, madam. Actually, it was a misunderstanding by one of my subordinates. Due to the current appearance of miss Walter, he did not directly identify her.

That was the reason why things escalated, but they have already been resolved, and Miss Melvin has already left.”

There was a moment of silence on the other end, before the lady asked, “Then, what about the holder of the master-class driving license? Has he already left, or is there anything that he needs?”

“About that, he was the one that was together with Miss Walter. But they have already left together, after everything was resolved.” Wiping the beads of sweat on his forehead, the sergeant responded.

“You! Fine! It seems that you guys have been too lax recently. When you come back to the station, I will make sure that you receive your punishment.” Immediately after she said that, she ended the call.

The sergeant on the other hand let out a sigh of relief. At least, things had not escalated. Otherwise, there was a possibility that he might have lost his job at worst, or he might have ended up being demoted.

The position that he currently held was something that he had worked for, putting in a lot of effort. Being demoted was something that he did not want to happen.

As for the punishment, despite his superior speaking in a harsh tone, he understood her quite well. As long as Michael did not pursue this matter, then there was no problem at all. At most, he might not receive his annual bonus.

…

On the other side, Michael did not know about what had happened after he had left. Instead, the car remained silent for quite a while, as neither of the two spoke.

Finally, as they were approaching the Walter family mansion, Melvin could not hold back her curiosity anymore.

She asked, “If I may be presumptuous and ask, how did you train? Did you perhaps train ever since you started walking? After all, the variety of skills, and the extent of mastery in them, they definitely seem to exceed your age.”

This was the exact reason why Michael thought that, it would be better for him to reveal few skills in the future. This time, he had not revealed any skill, just the driver’s license.

In the end, Melvin was already asking about something like this. And, it made sense. But still, there was an explanation that could be given, or he could decide not to give any, as he was not entitled to explain to anyone about his actions.

As he thought about that, he simply he said, “I just have the ability of learning things at quite a fast speed. That is the reason why I have a variety of skills.”

At Michael’s response, Melvin did not doubt it. She thought, there was a great possibility that Michael was one of those extremely rare geniuses, those that seemed to exceed the norms of the other ordinary geniuses.

She could not believe that she had a chance of meeting such a person. Genius is like those, who made history, they were mostly protected by the government, or were in government institutions, studying or inventing something new.

Regardless, she thought, she would have to make sure that Alex deepened the bond with Michael. It was clear, not to mention his family background, just his own personal future prospects were bound to be great.

If they could form a connection with such a person, it would be extremely beneficial for the growth of the Walter family.

Michael continued to drive after responding to Melvin, and in a few minutes, they arrived at the location of the Walter family mansion.

The family mansion was located in the northwest of the city.

When they got close by, Michael stopped the car. He had no intention of interacting with so many people, as he believed that by now, there would be quite a number of people waiting for Melvin’s return.

Melvin could not help but raise her brows slightly when she realized that Michael had stopped. She looked at him with a questioning gaze.

“You go ahead. I will stop here. As for the issue regarding your kidnapping, you don’t need to worry about that, I will handle it.

As for the collaboration between Sky Technologies and your Walter family, you don’t need to worry about that either. I will have Adrian handle it.” Michael said calmly.

Thinking about the fact that Michael was so low-key, Melvin nodded. She thought, he did not like to be seen in the public, which was something that she had realized from the fact that Adrian was the one that represented Sky Technologies.

When it came to facing the media and so on, all of it was done by Adrian. As for Michael, not even once had anyone seen him on reports or news regarding Sky Technologies, despite him being the owner.

“Okay then, Mr. Santos. Thank you for your assistance this time. If you need anything, as long as we can do it, the Walter family will definitely not hesitate.” Melvin swore, as she felt grateful for Michael’s assistance.

Michael nodded simply, before Melvin stepped out of the car, and Michael drove away.

As for what would happen after Melvin went back, that was for her to handle. Now, it was time for him to think about how to deal with the dark society.
