"W-what? Y-you sound disgusting."Sage was speechless for a second. She blinked, leaned closer, and grabbed his hand. She shook his hand gently, "Luther, I'd like to ask you for a small favor…""No! No way! I won't do it!"Luther slapped her hand, jumped away, and took three giant steps backward.He looked at her with a wary face as if she was about to do something naughty to him. Sage's face clouded over. "I haven't even told you my request."Luther shook his head at her and gave her a look. He could easily see through Sage's intention."You want me to help you escape to the branch office, right? Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?""If you know, then help me," said Sage and kept playing woman.Luther took another giant step back and stuttered, "Y-you… Don't disgust me!"Sage continued doing it. "Luther…"Luther wanted to kneel to her in defeat. He put his hand together and pleaded, "Sage, please spare me. Tim and Kane are the ones who decided to keep you confi
Jace came to the Looming branch and was greeted by the lead investigator."Wearing a suit on a hot day?"When Cole met Jace, he immediately gave him a disgusted look. Jace saw the wrinkled and dirty white T-shirt on Cole and wondered how many days he had not bathed. He frowned staring at his greasy hair and his chin full of stubs.Jace asked Cole, "Did you fall into a pile of trash?"Cole Jennex was part of Jace's circle in Nadeem City. He was acquainted with Jace as a childhood friend. Cole came from a privileged family and was fearless. He used to serve in the army for a short while, but he could not join the special force Team Draco for various reasons. After a career change, he transferred and worked for public security.Cole was the lead investigator, but he was not even wearing his uniform. He had a cigarette between his dry lips. He looked just like a street gangster if one ignored the Lorex watch and Ermani belt around his waist.Cole had successfully solved several maj
The police officer in the interrogation asked, "What's your relationship with Mister Jekyll?""We're not related." Sienna touched the sapphire on her left hand with her right hand and chuckled. "It's a relationship between a man and a woman.""What kind of relationship between a man and a woman?""Oh, dear. Sir, you're so annoying. Do I have to go into detail about this?"Sienna appeared a little shy and acted coyly, saying, "We're adults. Isn't it normal to spend a night together? Officers like you are always busy solving cases. Do you even have time to find a girlfriend or a friend with benefits?"When the police officer heard that, his face clouded over. He slammed the door and snapped, "Be serious!"Outside the interrogation room, Cole spat and cursed, "F*ck!"He looked at Jace in disbelief. "You wouldn't believe that was what Sienna said unless you've seen it with your own two eyes, right? Everyone thinks of her as an angel, but she's just a cheap sl*t!"Jace pulled a long
Luther arranged for his men to get ready near the Looming branch. When the twenty-four hours were up, they would catch her as soon as Sienna came out!Just after he hung up on the call, Sage looked at the screen with a frown. "How did he get in there?""Who?" Luther looked over and stared in amazement, asking, "What the hell is going on? How did Jace get in there?"In the interrogation room, Sienna was busy playing with her hair, teasing the officers as she evaded their questions. Then, she suddenly met Jace's eyes.She stiffened at once. "J-Jace…"Sienna did not know if Jace heard everything she said earlier. She became very nervous and wanted to stand up.Cole snapped, "Sit down! Sit down! Did I allow you to move?""Cole?" Sienna sat down hesitantly, "why are you here, too?"Cole looked at Sienna coldly and held back tons of expletives. Just as he was about to speak, Jace turned to him and said softly, "Hey, don't give her a hard time. Let me talk to her alone."His voice wa
Sage and Luther got nervous. They thought the polices were seriously going to turn off the surveillance. Just when they were thinking of sending someone to install a tapping device, they noticed that the surveillance was not turned off. It was still clear.The two's conversation was transmitted clearly. Jace took a seat across from Sienna and spoke slowly. "Are you okay?" As soon as he said that, tears streamed down her cheek on demand. She was just like a real actress."Jace, I knew you'd come and save me…"Cole and Luther cursed at the same time in different places, "You don't know sh*t!" Sage sneered coldly and snorted. She never thought she would see such a scene in her lifetime. It was much more exciting than an ordinary TV show.Jace lit a cigarette and held it between his long fingers. The smoke from the cigarette floated in the air around them.Jace looked down and appeared a little vulnerable.Sienna felt nervous looking at Jace like this. She called his name helpl
Sienna looked up and saw Jace's cold look. She shuddered in fear."Jace, a-are you going to look for him?"The white smoke blurred Jace's eyes, making it hard to read his emotions.She could hear only his deep voice, answering her, "He hurt the woman I love. How can I forgive him?" Sienna thought he wanted to avenge her and seek justice. She looked happy and shy, saying, "Actually, it's okay. He didn't do anything to me…""All you have to do is telling me where he is?"Jace's voice turned icy. Hearing that, Sienna shuddered and said thoughtlessly, "I-I don't know where his real home is. I only know that he rents a long-term private room at the South River Club...""What's his room number?""880," Sienna answered mindlessly.On the screen, Jace rose with a start almost at the sound of Sienna's answer.The look on his face changed. His face was still cold, but it was a completely different vibe."Cole," Jace shouted, and Cole immediately pushed the door open in response."Go
"Of course. What else? Do you think they'll even beat me?"Sage exercised her neck and patted Luther's shoulder. "Relax, Luther. Tim and Kane may scold me, but it'll be fine. I just have to act cute in front of them. Please help me take most of the punishment later." Luther complained, "Are you f*king serious?""Maybe I am.""I…" Luther was rendered speechless and helpless. Why did he always end up being the victim?…When they arrived at South River Club, it was chaotic. Not only had the police arrived, but the fire department had also arrived. The reporters were even the first to arrive, making the place very crowded. Sage frowned and got off the car. The phone in her pocket rang, but she did not hear it. All sorts of noises were blaring in her ears, including the sirens and the onlookers' distinct murmurs."What's going on this year? A club was on fire just a while ago. Why is South River Club on fire, too?""Didn't the club clear the rumor? It didn't burn. It was just a
Sage's vision blurred under the scorching sunlight. She heard a piercing buzz in her ears, and it hurt so much that her head was about to explode. She could not see anything or hear anything.The color of blood was spreading rapidly in her eyes."Sage! Sage!""Get in the car first! Let's get out of here!" Ross and the others arrived in a hurry. They picked up Jace, who was knocked out, from Sage's arm.He turned his head, but Sage was nowhere to be seen.A tragic scream came from behind. Everyone turned and looked over.Sage stepped on the assailant's neck and moved her arm. She used the Swiss Army knife and pierced through the assailant's palm. His hand that was still holding the iron rod turned bloody!Her eyes were piercing cold, just like her voice. "Tell me. Who sent you here?""Miss, you can't…"A police officer came forward and wanted to stop Sage's rampage, but Cole stopped him.The assailant clenched his teeth and refused to speak.Sage remained expressionless a
