Sebastian laughed slightly and said, "You want me to sign this? Okay. Kneel and beg me."The man exploded with anger. He threw the agreement violently onto the table and said angrily, "Damn it you little bastard! I don't think you realize how serious this situation is! Do we really have to show you what we mean?"The man pulled out a baton and weighed it in his hand. He laughed sinisterly and said, "Hey, punk. This is a custom baton, and it's designed to be very painful when used to hit someone. It leaves no trace, either. Do you want to try it?"Sebastian glanced at it and said impassively, "Are you going to take the law into your own hands? Who gave you the right?""I'm the authority here! How dare you talk back to me? It looks like you want us to do this the hard way!" the man roared. He swung the baton at Sebastian's arm.However, Sebastian lifted his hand and grabbed it."You're actually fighting back?" The man was furious and tried to kick Sebastian.Sebastian snorted and
Leonard was infuriated when he saw Sebastian sitting calmly. "What do you think you're doing, you punk!" he yelled. "You want me to ask you to go out nicely? Do you think you're special?"If you dare to assault police officers here, then I'm telling you, you're dead!" Leonard roared, his face contorted with rage.Blood dripped down his hand. His arm hurt so much it seemed to pierce right into his soul. The other man got up shakily. His eyes seemed to burn with intensity as he glared at Sebastian, who was sitting on the metal chair. "Damn you!" he shouted. "Assaulting an officer is a crime punishable by death. If you had just signed your name, you could've left, but now you can't leave even if you wanted to!"Sebastian calmly laced his hands behind the back of his head. He laughed and said, "Someone will come and invite me out.""You still insist on putting up an act? I'd like to see who'll come and invite you out!" Leonard roared. He was itching to tear Sebastian into pieces.
"That's right!" Hans said.Carl's expression changed completely. He looked serious and conflicted."Mr. Wagner, forgive me for asking, but what sort of relationship do you have with him? We did arrest him, but we have a reason for it. He's involved in a serious case and is currently being interrogated."Hans' eyes narrowed as he looked sharply at Carl. "Captain Lopez, I'm not going to play games with you," he said coldly. "Dr. Ballard once saved my life, and I think of him as highly as I do of my own parents!"I know very well what kind of person Dr. Ballard is. The case that you're referring to is completely ridiculous. Something must've framed him! I want you to let him go at once!"Carl's expression turned grim. He was Steinberg's police captain. He had the authority to decide who got arrested and who got released.Hans had power and influence in Steinberg. He also had many subordinates. Ordinarily, Carl would treat him with the utmost politeness. However, this situation was d
Rosalie's beautiful face was grim as she said coldly, "You're Captain Lopez, aren't you? Sebastian is a benefactor of the Griffin family. I want you to release him immediately."Carl looked troubled. He didn't dare to refuse Rosalie's request. However, Fergus was upstairs. How could he explain things to Fergus if he let Sebastian go?"Ms. Griffin, Sebastian Ballard is involved in a serious case. We're just interrogating him according to legal procedures. If there aren't any problems, we'll be sure to let him go. Please understand." After thinking it over, Carl had decided to stand his ground. He didn't want to let Sebastian go. Rosalie's expression darkened. "Captain Lopez, are you testing my patience?" she asked, annoyed. Carl's expression changed. He could tell that Rosalie was suppressing her anger. "Um, Ms. Griffin, please wait a moment. I'll go in and have a look." Carl smiled, then turned and ran back into his office. Fergus was sitting on the sofa, calmly sipping co
"Since you're standing on Steinberg soil right now, you have to follow our rules." Rosalie's expression darkened, and she looked grim. She looked up at Carl's office window and discovered a figure.She laughed coldly. "Captain Lopez, I see that someone gave you courage when you went up.""I don't know what you're talking about, Ms. Rosalie. I'm just obeying the law," Carl said immediately."As if!" Rosalie snapped. "You know much better than I do what the truth is! Aren't you afraid that I'll contact Chief Vince Weist?"Carl was momentarily stunned.If she called Vince, there would be trouble. However, at this juncture, he couldn't hold back! As long as Sebastian signed the paper to admit his crimes, everything would be fine.Therefore, he said harshly, "Even if Chief Weist comes, there'll be no use! Kick them out! You, come with me!" A few officers began herding Rosalie, Hans, and the others out. One of them followed Carl.Carl rushed to the interrogation room. He knew that
After hanging up, Vince's expression turned dark.Who would be dumb enough to arrest a guest of the Griffins?Vince swiftly sent people to find out. A few minutes later, he received the information."Leonard and Captain Lopez?" Vince looked grimly at the names."Assholes! If they offend Ms. Griffin and prevent Steinberg's development, I'll kill them both myself!" Vince said angrily. He left the office quickly and ordered his chauffeur to drive to the police station. …Back in the interrogation room, Carl held his gun at Sebastian's head. He roared angrily, "I'm going to ask you once again, punk. Will you sign this or not?"Sebastian looked at him calmly and smiled. "I won't.""Do you have a death wish?" Carl pushed him violently and yelled, "Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you right now?" Sebastian chuckled and said, "You can try firing the gun!""Are you taunting me?" Carl snapped. The sound of a gunshot rang in the interrogation room. However, the bullet hit the floor
Vince's brow furrowed in surprise. He looked at Carl and the others and asked accusingly, "Tell me the truth. Was he really the one who hit you?" "Why would we lie, Chief?" Leonard said hurriedly. "It was that guy, he's crazy! We were asking questions normally, but he just attacked us!" the other injured officer added. Rosalie frowned. She shook her head and said, "I don't believe Sebastian would do that. I want to go in and ask him myself." Carl immediately stopped her and said, "Ms. Griffin, this is an interrogation room. Non-related people aren't allowed to enter. That's the rule." "Are you feeling guilty, Captain Lopez?" Rosalie said coldly. Carl immediately puffed up his chest and said quickly, "What do you mean, guilty? We're just following normal procedure. You can ask Chief Weist if you don't believe us!" Rosalie looked at Vince, who nodded. However, he immediately said, "I can accompany you if you'd like to go in, Ms. Griffin." Carl and the others looked worrie
Vince's expression darkened. He waved his hand, gesturing for the officers to let go of Carl. Carl laughed coldly and freed himself from their hold. He said icily, "Chief Weist, we all know the rules. You wouldn't want Mr. Targery to get involved, would you?""Mr. Targery…" Vince muttered, frowning. Sebastian frowned slightly and asked, "Are you planning to let them get away with it, Chief Weist?" Vince shuddered and quickly said to Sebastian and Rosalie in a low voice, "Mr. Ballard, Ms. Griffin, you don't understand. Mr. Targery is Mr. Targery Senior's favorite grandson."With the power and influence that Mr. Targery Senior has in Steinberg, he could decide my fate with just a few words. Mr. Ballard, can we just forget about what happened here tonight?"Sebastian finally realized the situation. Vince was afraid of Eugene. "What if I refuse?" Sebastian said coldly. Vince's expression changed. He looked conflicted, and he turned to Rosalie. Rosalie said impassively, "Vinc
